Mission and programs · 2025

• IN 2025, WE SUPPORTED 63 PARTICIPANTS IN EMPLOYMENT AND CERTIFIED 65 AS PERSONAL TRAINERS. WE WORKED WITH 200 PARTICIPANTS OVERALL (ALL OF WHOM RECEIVED WRAPAROUND SUPPORT SERVICES), 23 CORPORATE CLIENTS, AND NEARLY 1,000 TRAINING CLIENTS. WE COMPLETED OUR $15M, 5-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN, ENABLING US TO EXECUTE OUR 5-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN. IN OCTOBER, WE CELEBRATED OUR 15TH ANNIVERSARY, GIVING US THE CHANCE TO REFLECT ON HOW WE'VE GROWN AND WHERE WE'RE GOING.IN JANUARY OF 2010, WE LAUNCHED ICW. WE HELD OUR FIRST WEIGHTLIFTING SESSION IN A BASEMENT GYM, WITH FOUR PARTICIPANTS. AS WE DESCENDED THE STEPS, WE WALKED WITH EXCITEMENT, WONDERING WHETHER THIS WOULD MAKE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT. WE QUICKLY EVOLVED FROM A WEIGHTLIFTING PROGRAM TO A CAREER TRACK IN PERSONAL TRAINING, WITH THE AIM OF INCREASING ECONOMIC MOBILITY. WE OPENED OUR FIRST GYM IN 2012 AND BEGAN TO GROW OUR CLIENT BASE. TODAY, WE HAVE 5 GYMS IN BOSTON AND OUR FIRST DEDICATED GYM IN CHICAGO. WE'VE BUILT THE CAPACITY TO SERVE 200 PARTICIPANTS ANNUALLY, REACHING NEARLY 1,000 UNIQUE CLIENTS, AND HAVE COMPLETED OVER 75,000 PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS. WE'VE GENERATED MORE THAN $3 MILLION IN INCOME FOR PARTICIPANTS THROUGH INTERNAL EMPLOYMENT AND MORE THAN THREE TIMES THAT AMOUNT THROUGH EXTERNAL EMPLOYMENT. WITH PWC'S HELP, WE BEGAN TRACKING OUR SOCIAL ROI IN 2018. SINCE THEN, WE'VE GENERATED OVER A $100 MILLION RETURN IN COST SAVINGS FOR SOCIETY, AVERAGING MORE THAN A 10X RETURN EACH YEAR. WE REALIZED, HOWEVER, DURING THOSE EARLY MONTHS OF ICW, THAT SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT WAS HAPPENING. WEIGHT TRAINING, BY ITSELF, WASN'T WHAT WAS WORKING. IT WAS THE COMMUNITY WE BUILT AND THE COMMON IDENTITY WE FORMED. WE CREATED A SHARED SPACE WHERE WE COULD SEE AND VALUE EACH OTHER'S HUMANITY. WE WERE ABLE TO SCRUTINIZE THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS PEOPLE FACED, RATHER THAN AN INDIVIDUAL. THROUGH OUR CAREER TRACK IN PERSONAL TRAINING, WE WERE ABLE TO FLIP POWER DYNAMICS AND BRIDGE SOCIAL CAPITAL AMONG PARTICIPANTS AND OUR TRAINING CLIENTS. OUR WORK IN BRIDGING SOCIAL CAPITAL HAS BEEN CITED BY RAJ CHETTY AND PROFILED ON NPR. IT LEADS TO BROADER PERSPECTIVES AND INCREASED ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. IT CREATES SYSTEMS CHANGE STARTING AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR VIEWS AND ACTIONS. THEY CHANGE THEIR OWN HIRING POLICIES. THEY ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE THEY MAY NEVER HAVE OTHERWISE KNOWN. THIS IS THE MEANINGFUL IMPACT WE HAVE REALIZED AND GROWN IN OUR FIRST 15 YEARS.

  Expenses $2,112,203 · Revenue $333,286

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
