CONFIT (CONVICT FITNESS) - THE STORY

- Up until 2 years ago, Jo's life situation looked very different. At that time, only he could dream from inside a prison cell of the freedom and the endless possibilities that he lives in now.
At the age of 21, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for directing a criminal enterprise and for the supply of large commercial quantities of Methylenedioxymethamphetamine otherwise known as MDMA.
During his time of incarceration, he was fortunate enough to meet great positive mentors who challenged his perception and attitudinal outlook on life, lessons on business and the value of education and self-worth.
ConFit is an idea that started from a prison yard to offer prison-style training to the public and the main goal is to create a more accepting society and coach ex-inmates to become not just great fitness instructors but leaders who give back to their communities.
There’s a social issue that needs to be addressed and ConFit's plan is to take this matter into their own hands and bridge this gap through fitness. They are an outdoor fitness community where all the trainers are ex-inmates.
People with a criminal past have untapped skills and knowledge that can be mentored and polished for positive impact.
ConFit's mission is to break down negative criminal stereotypes by creating holistic fitness communities and offer incredible training sessions. They want to help formerly incarcerated inmates to transform their lives around while reducing recidivism rates by offering them a positive pathway back into society.

Unreal mate. I just happened to stumble across this video and have now watched nearly all of them. It’s inspiring to watch. Keep up the great work.
As an ex inmate from Melbourne I love this!!! My training from prison changed my life and is still a daily routine 3 yrs out
"Good decision making begins with Good health, mentally and physically"
It’s unbelievable what training can do for ya head inside 👌much respect boys 💪
I was in prison at 17, Pentridge. The need for parthways being made for young (especially men but also women) is well overdue. There needs to be light at the end of the tunnel for these people. Currently if you have a sentence of 2yrs or longer there is NO hope of ever finding any employment that will allow you to make a valuable community contribution. Even short sentences, the struggle for the young to re-integrate is extremely difficult.
ConFit sounds like a very valuable program. Excellent work. This man should be immensely proud of himself and the positive influence he can make on the world. Congratulations.
That's a nice fade bra. Encouraging story to 👍💪
Keep up the great work brother. People dehumanise cons but they are just people who made a made bad decision. We have all made bad decisions and should all be allowed the opportunity to change and grow as people. We need to focus on rehabilitation not punishment if we are to change these statistics.
Peace homie. Respect from nz

GrandSupreme Toru5 Thanks for your words of support brother. The system makes it hard for ex inmates to transition I want to turn this around and it starts from society giving us a second chance.
No worries brother!! I have been out for a few years and have been on the right path since but it has taken years and a lot of growing up to do you know! Keep doing your thing! Working wonders for all the boys and women involved. I'll share the video around and spread the message man!
Legend
Solid🔥
Unbelievable what you can do when you really put your mind too it. I would of honestly lost hope a long time ago. But what fuels me is when people tell me what I can't do, I almost get a kick out of it now it drives me to prove All of them wrong. And what we are actually capable of As Humans,Sometimes we just need That little Push 💯👌
Well done good work
Praying to the almighty algorithm above 🙏
