CONBODY and CONBUD | The Lower East Side (LES) of New York City has always been a hub of resilience and reinvention. It’s no surprise, then, that two revolutionary movements—CONBODY and CONBUD—are redefining how we think about fitness and wellness. CONBODY, a fitness studio founded by formerly incarcerated individuals, uses prison-style workouts to promote community and transformation. CONBUD, your trusted cannabis dispensary in the LES, focuses on enhancing wellness through high-quality cannabis products. Together, these two pillars of health and empowerment offer a holistic approach to modern living.

CONBODY: Fitness with a Mission

CONBODY isn’t just about breaking a sweat—it’s about breaking barriers. Founded by Coss Marte, a former inmate who transformed his life through fitness, CONBODY delivers high-intensity workouts inspired by the routines he developed in a 9×6 prison cell. The studio’s mission extends far beyond physical health:

• Second Chances: CONBODY hires formerly incarcerated individuals as trainers, providing meaningful employment and breaking down stigmas.
• Community Building: Classes foster inclusivity, bringing together people from all walks of life in a shared journey toward health and resilience.
• Accessible Fitness: No fancy equipment needed—just your body and a commitment to push past limits.

Cannabis and Fitness: A Natural Connection

Cannabis and fitness might seem like an unlikely pairing, but they share a surprising synergy. Cannabis, when used thoughtfully, can complement physical activity in several ways:

• Pre-Workout Boost: Sativa strains can energize and enhance focus, helping you power through challenging workouts.
• Recovery Aid: CBD and indica strains are known for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, making them ideal for post-workout recovery.
• Mindful Movement: Cannabis can deepen your connection to your body, enhancing practices like yoga and meditation.

At CONBUD, we offer a curated selection of cannabis products tailored to support your fitness journey, from energizing pre-workout options to relaxing post-exercise tinctures and topicals.

A Perfect Partnership: CONBODY Meets CONBUD

Imagine this: You start your day with a high-intensity CONBODY workout, channeling your energy into every rep and push-up. Post-class, you head to CONBUD to explore products that aid recovery and relaxation. This seamless integration of fitness and wellness is what makes the LES a beacon of modern health practices.

• Event Collaborations: CONBODY and CONBUD are exploring partnerships that include yoga and meditation events infused with cannabis education. These sessions aim to show how cannabis can enhance not only physical recovery but also mental clarity and relaxation.
• Workshops: Together, we envision hosting workshops on the benefits of combining fitness and cannabis, educating our community about the science behind the synergy.
• Shared Values: Both CONBODY and CONBUD are committed to breaking stereotypes, fostering inclusivity, and empowering individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilled lives.

How Cannabis Enhances the CONBODY Experience

For those embarking on their fitness journey with CONBODY, cannabis can be a game-changer. Here are some ways to integrate CONBUD products into your routine:

1. Pre-Workout Energy: Kickstart your session with a microdose of a sativa strain, like Pineapple Express or Jack Herer, to boost motivation and focus.
2. Post-Workout Recovery: Soothe sore muscles with a CBD-infused topical or tincture. These products can help reduce inflammation and promote faster healing.
3. Mind-Body Connection: Use a hybrid strain to enhance yoga or stretching sessions, allowing for deeper relaxation and mindfulness.

Building a Healthier LES Community

The partnership between CONBODY and CONBUD represents more than just fitness and wellness—it’s about creating a stronger, more inclusive community. By supporting initiatives that focus on empowerment and second chances, we’re building a neighborhood that values every individual’s potential.

• Jobs and Opportunities: Both organizations prioritize providing opportunities for those who face societal barriers, including the formerly incarcerated.
• Education and Awareness: Through workshops, classes, and events, CONBODY and CONBUD aim to destigmatize both fitness and cannabis, paving the way for more open conversations about health and wellness.
• Community Spaces: The LES thrives on its sense of community, and collaborations like these strengthen the bonds that make our neighborhood unique.
