MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – Two of Memphis’ top fitness influencers are challenging each other and their social media followers to “step up” in a joint quest to achieve a healthy 901. I am.
The team is tracking who can walk the most steps throughout the month of October.
Alton Williams of TRAP Fitness and Kenneth Fleming of Kenetix Performance and Fitness will face off as part of the Healthyer 901 Challenge.
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to bring that trophy into this gym,” Williams said.
“My belief system is always that I win,” Fleming added.
The goal is to lose 1 million pounds as a community over three years, and October’s challenge focuses on step counts, tracking which team can complete the most steps by the end of the month.
Fleming says healthy living has always been her passion.
“Before the organization existed, that was a phrase we used in our gyms: A healthier 901 is a happier 901,” Fleming said.
Williams says simple changes can make a big difference.
“Walking is very important because it’s a very low-impact way to stay active throughout the day. It’s something that can be done long-term and has many positive effects, such as weight loss.”
Although the challenge is gym vs. gym, we encourage everyone to take part in the Step Challenge, regardless of their fitness level or access.
“The beauty of everything is that it starts right where you are,” Fleming said.
While there’s some friendly competition among fitness buddies, they say their goals are bigger than themselves.
It’s about changing our community for the better.
“Win or lose, I want to impact Memphis and even more positively in the most positive way possible,” Williams said.
