Annual Train the Trainer Cancer Fundraiser Recap
A huge thank-you to everyone who participated in or donated to our 19th Annual Train the Trainer Cancer Fundraiser! Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our amazing PI community, we raised over $14,500 this year. 🙌
We wrapped up the week with a high-energy final Group Workout (don’t miss the highlight video!), where clients and trainers teamed up for some friendly competition and fitness fun. But as always… the trainers knew their fate was still to come.
🎲 The Train the Trainer High Roller Auction
Immediately after the workout, the room shifted into full excitement mode as we launched into the infamous—and always entertaining—High Roller Auction. Clients battled to outbid one another for the chance to dish out creative “punishments” to their trainer of choice. And in classic fashion, our seasoned auctioneer Nathan reminded everyone:
“The only rules… are that there are no rules.”
That meant clients could (and absolutely did) pool their bids. This teamwork resulted in the coveted $1000 donation punishment, awarded to both Owen and Nathan.
Their task?
Accumulate 100 calories on the rower while stopping every single minute for 5 burpees… until the job was done.
Brutal. Effective. Hilarious to watch.
🔥 Punishment Highlights
- Naseeb, our newest trainer, took on 100 walking lunges with 50% of her bodyweight (via dumbbells, vest, or whatever creative load clients assigned). Her glutes were talking to her for days.
- The rest of the PI team also received their fair share of “motivation” courtesy of our spirited clients. Nothing like a room full of cheering and laughter to keep everyone moving!
❤️ A Community That Shows Up
This event simply wouldn’t happen without:
- The dedication and hard work of our PI staff,
- The generosity and energy of our incredible clients, and
- The behind-the-lens magic of PI client and professional photographer, Seb, who captured the event beautifully.
Keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook for more photos as we continue uploading them.
Thank you all for showing up, giving generously, sweating together, and supporting an important cause. We can’t wait to do it all again next year for our 20th Anniversary—it’s going to be a big one. ❤️🔥
