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.

Designed to break up a day of sitting or standing in place to boost energy levels and productivity, but beneficial for your employees at any hour of the day.
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.
Value creation approximately generated by reducing recidivism rates and increasing employment rates of students in 2020. One way to look at ICW's effectiveness is to consider it's ROI. In FY20, ICW deployed $1.2M of funding into our program and yielded nearly $12.6M in direct value creation from reducing recidivism rates of students.
Help us break down the segregation and isolation that lead to the cycle of street violence and recidivism. Nearly 90% of every dollar goes towards program costs, directly impacting our students. Connect students to employment and enrichment opportunities outside of the gym, or help us promote the gym to your friends and colleagues.

I can’t say enough about how great it has been to work with Inner City Weightlifting. They are knowledgeable, dependable, and meet their clients where they are at. They have come onsite at my office and… create challenging and fun workouts all in the confines of a conference room. The staff are true professionals! Highly recommend.
