While serving 12 and a half years for a robbery he didn’t commit, Gym Star changed his name and his life in prison and shed more than 60 pounds of fat using nothing more than body weight exercises in his prison cell. With a new mindset and body to match, he began designing body weight workout programs to help others adopt a healthy and fit lifestyle.

Gym Star is crowd-funding to  open the first boutique fitness studio and juice bar on Pitkin Avenue, in his community, Brownsville, Brooklyn. Make a donation today to have it matched dollar for dollar as part of the Healthy Brownsville Challenge!
