InnerCity Weightlifting
We aim to reduce youth violence by connecting proven-risk young people with new networks and opportunities, including meaningful career tracks in and beyond personal training. We use the gym to replace segregation, isolation, and systemic racism with economic mobility and social inclusion, disrupting the cycle that leads to urban street violence here in Boston.
Joe spent much of his teen and young adult life in and out of incarceration, stuck in the cycle of street violence. After his last release, Joe was connected with InnerCity Weightlifting and worked to complete his ICW Personal Training Certification. Joe now holds a nationally recognized ISSA certification, and is the Assistant Manager of our Kendall Square training facility. He is a top-earning trainer and for the first time in his life Joe is paying rent, providing for his child, and even taking vacations. Joe plans to leverage ICW’s support in the near future to achieve a college degree and save up for a car.
