ICW's mission is to amplify the voice and agency of people who have been most impacted by systemic racism and mass incarceration. We partner with program participants through case management and careers in and beyond personal training. Individuals are elevated as experts in fitness and the social issues they've lived. ICW is a culture and community in which power dynamics are flipped, social capital is bridged, and new leaders emerge in the fight to combat long-standing inequities.
Sign up for an unparalleled training experience with our student trainers, under the guidance of our expert coaches. Workouts are designed to maximize functional movement, strength, and conditioning. When I started at ICW in 2018, I had no idea how much it would change my life. Almost three years later I'm in the best shape I've ever been and look forward to every session with the trainers who have become good friends.
You will be hard pressed to find a more supportive and social justice minded community to be a part of than ICW!

Society is quick to label people as the "problem, " rather than address the actual problems they face.
A cycle forms that further stigmatizes people, and weaponizes fear, creating barriers to safety, mobility, and economic opportunity.
Simultaneously, mass incarceration is fueled, as the streets form to provide a foundation of support, identity, and means of survival.
In cities like Boston, just a few hundred individuals are involved in more than half of all gun violence.
While the challenges seems insurmountable, by reaching a relatively small number of high impact young people, we can dramatically influence the system.
