Available for over a year

Facing seven years in jail for drug dealing, Coss Marte is told he might die within five. Overweight with high cholesterol, he designs an intense workout regimen inside his cell, losing around 30 kilos in six months. As a free, healthy man in New York City, Coss becomes a fitness instructor teaching his prison bootcamp and hires other former prisoners. But as an ex-convict, it took years to find acceptance in the business world.
