TI Fitness, located in Gilbert, Ariz., has been a supporter of My Sisters’ Place for years. “We wanted to do something repeatable, that we could do year after year and not worry about interference from weather conditions,” said Terrance Johnson, co-owner of TI Fitness. Their solution was Own the Trainer Week.
During Own the Trainer Week, anyone can challenge their trainer to do difficult workouts, for a price. A sign-up sheet in the lobby records specific workouts and the trainers assigned to them with the pledge amounts.
