Second Chances Matter

After spending ten years in federal prison, Hector Guadalupe came home with an obsession with fitness, excellent health, and hunger for work. Yet, he came home to a lot of closed doors. Once given a chance, Hector started a successful career in personal training first corporate health clubs, and eventually founded Unibody Fitness NYC. The company’s model is solely based on servicing communities and building strong ties through wellness. He also founded A Second U Foundation. A Second U Foundation educates, certifies, and secures employment for formerly incarcerated people as certified personal trainers. Through opportunity, empowerment, and community building, ASUF seeks to eliminate recidivism*. Founded in 2016, Second U has graduated 196 trainers with 0% reoffending (national average of recidivism is 40%-60%). Second U truly is the place where justice and wellness meet.
