Champions League Updates:
The TriumFit Champions League is my paid fitness accountability group for individuals looking to GET AFTER their goals, but more importantly GIVE BACK at the same time. 10% of your membership dues go to GiveDirectly.org, so every goal is funding global change!
β
Roster (Competitor tier) = private Discord group
1) Chester is committing to 30 minutes of activity, 4x a week
2) Gary wants to do 10 pullups & 10 minutes of hang-board practice, or climb a 5.10 everyday! (gym or outside)
3) AJ wants to eat less calories, do 1 hour Cardio & 50 push ups everyday
4) Lindsay wants to walk 7,500 steps every day this quarter
5) Marcus is committing to train jujitsu 4x a week, ruck and lift
6) Greg wants to go gymnast style and do a tuck "planche" for 1 minute, work up to more time and bring legs out straight
7) Kurt is into golf, he has not filled his tracking sheet yet. But I am assuming it's to make the PGA cut!
8) Becca's goal is to move her body for 20-30 minutes every day this quarter and gradually work her way back into the gym!
β
How are the standings looking?
Chester put up a 71% completion on his daily task
Gary is also a 71% on the week
AJ is at a 51%
Lindsay is at a 29%
Marcus is at a 43%
Greg is at a 43%
Kurt is MIA...
Becca has been solid, she's tagged me in several IG stories so far! But I don't have her exact numbers yet.
My goal is to complete a 5k in under 19 minutes, and my daily action is to complete my daily sprint challenge, 1 track workout, 1 tempo run, and 1 long run a week! My baseline test was 20:05 on a track on July 1st.
The stakes for me are: if I succeed I will donate $250 to GiveDirectly.org
If I fail I will buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke one on camera...that should be motivating enough.
β
We have done some introductions on the discord chat and AJ suggested a group hike, which I think in a fantastic idea.
β
Remember, if you're in the Champions League and you post updates on IG with your stories, I will re-post them to inspire the folks out there who need it!
The Juneteenth Event "Abode on the Underground Railroad" went off with a blast. I was able to complete Gold Division (19 mile walk, first and last mile barefoot) out in CA when I was visiting my brother in Santa Rosa. Then I came back to Tacoma and did the Silver Division (9 mile walk, first and last 1/2 mile barefoot) in Tacoma at Chambers Bay. About 10 people showed up for that.
I am waiting on Jon to finalize the video, so that will be included in the NEXT TriumFit Community newsletter.
I was also able to donate to both FreeTheSlaves.net and TherapyFundFoundation afterwards.
Nobody actually registered for the event via my website, so I didn't collect any $.
I ended up just making a personal donation! $65 to TherapyFundFoundation and $65 to FreeTheSlaves.net in honor of 1865 being the date when Order #3 was signed, marking the beginning of Juneteenth!
β
We took a photo by an actual railroad to honor the Underground "Railroad" and Harriet Tubman! Lunger, Wrangler, Kenzie, Me, George, Asaph, Angie, Reez, and Walter made it out :)

This month:
Here was my pitch to some local restaurants, what do you think?
"My name is Tyler, a local physical therapist and founder of the TriumFit Challenge, a purpose-driven fitness community that blends physical feats with philanthropy.
This July, Iβm launching a bold challenge to my community: βEat 10,000 calories in one day across four Tacoma restaurantsβ¦ then fast for 48 hours.
β Weβre calling it the "Feast & Fast Challenge," and itβs raising money for "Action Against Hunger," a global nonprofit tackling food insecurity.
Iβm reaching out to invite your restaurant to be one of the four featured food stops on Thursday, July 11th. Iβll be eating 2,500+ calories at each location, documenting the journey, and encouraging others to sign up for their own βFeast & Fastβ attempt (or just follow along and donate).
Why Partner?
This is a winβwinβwin:
You Win:β Iβll bring in customers, promote your restaurant across my TriumFit social channels, and feature your dish in the challenge. Youβre welcome to share the flyer, boost signups, and even offer a βFeast & Fastβ meal special.
I Win:β I complete a ridiculous fitness challenge and grow awareness for my purpose-driven fitness brand.
The World Wins:β β50% of all entry ticket profits go directly to Action Against Hunger, so every plate served helps fight global hunger.
β
I think Lizzie Lou's and IHeartMacnCheese are CONFIRMED for it! Yay.
β
If you are in the local Tacoma area, feel free to JOIN me. Reply to this email or DM me on IG for the restaurants and times
If you are NOT in Tacoma, you can also sign up and video part of your challenge and tag me on IG to get credit and on the leaderboard for Silver or Gold Divisions:
β
(Gold division) Eat 10,000 calories in one day and then complete a 48-hour fast or
(Silver division) Eat 5,000 calories in one day and then complete a 24-hour fast afterwards.
β
Next month:
Keep an eye out for the Women's Equality Day Challenge around August 26th. In 1973, Congress designated Aug. 26 as βWomen's Equality Day.β The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote.
Pay $50 for any event to be registered as a "TriumFit Athlete" (as always, 50% of the profits are donated to charity)
Also, there is "Pay what you want" selection now, so if you don't want to be an official TriumFit Athlete, you can participate for as little as $1!

β
The next dates are:
7/13 7/27 8/10 8/24 9/7 (only date in September, due to travel)
