Our founder Samir Becic likes a good Fitness Challenge in celebration of a milestone: for his 46th birthday this year, he hiked 10 miles for every year he’s been alive with a 55lbs+ backpack, for a total of 464 miles in Aspen, Colorado. Now, he’s embarking on another extreme fitness challenge in celebration of his 4 years as official “Fitness Czar” for the City of Houston on November 1st, 2022.

It’s no secret that Samir has used his drive, passion, and vision to try and make Houston a healthier and more active place. Once named 4 x #1 Fitness Trainer in the world and author of the book “ReSync Your Life“, he’s been motivating Houstonians to get active for the past 20 years, when he was first named Fitness Director for the City of Houston under Mayor Lee Brown in 2002.

Now he’s in full swing of the second stage of this 2022 extreme fitness challenge: to walk a full 3 miles while wearing a 200 lbs weighted vest! To date, he’s completed the first 10 training days, which all consisted of walking 3 miles while wearing a 75 lbs weighted vest; next, he will go up to 100 lbs, 125 lbs, 150 lbs, 175 lbs, and finally 200 lbs.
