I’m healthier, fitter, stronger, happier, have made wonderful new friends. At 48 years old, I’m a great example of eating and exercising for well-being for my children. I couldn’t imagine not being a member.
When I discovered My Peak Challenge, I had been in quarantine. Not being able to do anything was taking a toll on my mental health. I found MPC and honestly gave me a sense of purpose and challenge. I did Spartan races in the past and could no longer do them or go to the gym. I had a sense of connection with a community again.
The fact that I know others are cheering me on, understanding my struggles, or celebrating my accomplishments makes MPC the most influential program I have ever been a part of. The joy I have in being able to offer those same gifts to others is a treasure in itself!
MPC has given me SO much! It’s provided tools and a community that made my life better in numerous ways. I’ve connected with wonderful Peakers who have shared interests who have become cherished friends.
I was severely unhappy. Something was missing. I wasn’t sure what it was. As it turned out it was my sense of self. I had ballooned after the loss of my daughter and I wasn’t going to last long if something didn’t change. MPC came along and almost in a cliche, literally changed my life. It was my way to change. Find myself again. Have a purpose. Not just to be happy again, but to truly live.
Joining MPC saved my sanity after being in lockdown due to the COVID pandemic. Virtually meeting such a widely connected group of people from so many different countries opened up the world for me! It has given me strength, laughter, support, community, friends, compassion, a safe place, motivation, ideas, and so much more.
I lost 80 pounds my first year as a Peaker, but I gained so much more in my life! I now have friends from all over the globe, self-confidence, better health, a drive to help those in need and an always growing community of support when I need it.
MPC gave me a community and a drive to accomplish my goals of losing weight and regaining my sense of self-worth. I have lost and kept off over 75 lbs for five years and gained friends from literally around the world who keep me committed.
I’m empowered by doing things I couldn’t before, and I’m stronger inside and out. I’ve never been part of something like this inspiring, encouraging community.
I decided to join MPC just before my 60th Birthday. I have achieved things I’d never dreamed of doing before. I entered my first 10K. I kayaked 50 miles in 2 days on the Edisto River…twice! I took up hiking and developed a love and appreciation for the outdoors.
About My
Peak Challenge
MPC is a community dedicated to inspiring its members to live healthier, happier and more balanced lives while raising funds to change lives.
What is MPC?
MPC offers an annual membership to help empower its members to achieve improved health, wellness and mindfulness. Members receive a daily training program, complete with variations to adapt the program to their own individual needs and athletic abilities; a choice of daily meal plans; access to trained coaches and the support and motivation of our global community of Peakers.
But that’s not all MPC does. In the past few years, MPC has raised millions of dollars in charitable donations, which have fully financed vital research projects for blood-cancer treatment, addressed environmental problems, and supported end-of-life care.
Meanwhile, our Peakers have gained mobility, rediscovered their confidence, become stronger and more healthy, broadened their experiences, travelled the world and made long-lasting new friends. They have empowered themselves and each other to indulge and grow their interests, to explore their communities and the world and, ultimately, to change their lives.
Join us now on the first step of your journey to a healthier lifestyle
Our Story
My Peak Challenge began with a call to action. In 2015, Sam Heughan challenged his fans to challenge themselves while raising funds for charity.
The message resonated, and the My Peak Challenge T-shirt became synonymous with unity and camaraderie.
In 2016, a 60-day training and nutrition program was designed to help members develop the foundation to meet their challenges. Thousands joined and a global community of Peakers was born.
In 2017, MPC grew again, offering our members a full 12 months of workouts and meal plans. The community swelled. For the first time celebrated in person, hiking and sweating, dining and dancing together at the first MPC gala in Scotland.
We have come so far, but we have so much further to go.
My peak challenge что это
Who created My Peak Challenge?
Sam Heughan is the founder of My Peak Challenge.
Is My Peak Challenge based in Scotland?
No, My Peak Challenge was founded by Scottish actor Sam Heughan and has members from around the globe, but its headquarters is in the United States.
Are MPC’s charity partners nonprofit organizations?
Yes, MPC’s charity partners are all internationally recognized nonprofit organizations.
Does Sam Heughan get paid by My Peak Challenge?
No, Sam Heughan is not paid by MPC.
Is My Peak Challenge a nonprofit organization?
No, My Peak Challenge, LLC, is a service-providing organization that offers its members editorial and tutorial lifestyle-improvement content while raising funds and awareness for its charity partners.
How much of the membership fee is donated to charity?
Fifty percent of membership fees (after payment processing, membership gift, fulfillment and admin fees) is donated directly to our charity partners.
What is the remaining 50 percent spent on?
The remainder of the membership fees is invested in creating and growing this platform, its service, its costs and the expenditures of its operation (including but not limited to: costs of goods, costs of production, development, staff, contractors, platform, hosting, rent, utilities, fixtures, equipment, payroll, insurance, taxes, legal, accounting, inventory, and marketing, being among the most frequent operating costs and expenses).
Does MPC receive half of all funds raised?
No. While MPC donates half of every membership fee received, the total amount raised comes from a number of other sources, many of which MPC receives nothing from. For example, there are direct donations via our JustGiving pages, merchandise sales, any profit from Gala ticket sales, funds raised via special campaigns such as the Munro Step Challenge in support of Bloodwise, the Ballsy campaign in support of testicular cancer research, and the “win a date with Sam” campaign via a third party. Funds raised via all of those methods are included in the grand total raised, but MPC does not receive half of (and in fact, in most of those cases receives no) funds raised via those campaigns.
Can I use MPC and/or Peaker branding for merchandise?
No, “My Peak Challenge” and “Peaker” are both trademarked and their unauthorized usage constitutes copyright infringement.
Can I use the MPC model or its program outside the MPC membership platform?
No, My Peak Challenge and its content are solely created for MPC and its platform. Outside usage and/or replication of the model are prohibited.
About the Membership
When will I receive my membership gift?
Please allow six to eight weeks from registration for receipt of your MPC membership gift.
Can I exchange or return my membership gift?
The membership T-shirt is a gift as part of your membership benefits. Unfortunately, we can’t offer returns or exchanges on the gift.
I live outside of the US. Will I have to pay import taxes on my membership gift?
MPC is headquartered in the US, so our currency is USD. Fortunately, there will be no import taxes due on the welcome gift because we mark that it is a gift and therefore has (close to) zero value on the customs form.
Is the program available for all ages?
Yes. However, if you’re under 18, we request that you acquire parental consent and supervision. The Facebook group is only available for 18+ members.
Can I get a refund when I cancel my membership?
Upon registration, you will be given access to the platform for 12 months from the day of the sign-up or launch of the program, whichever is later. We have a 30-day cancellation policy (from the date of registration). If you would like a refund of the 50 percent of your membership fee that will be donated on your behalf to our charity partners, you are required to request as much.
About the Program
Can the training program be done at the gym or at home?
The MPC training program is designed to be done either in a gym or at home. As you get stronger and fitter, however, you may need to invest in some basic training equipment (dumbbells or kettlebells, for example) to continue to progress at home.
Is this program available globally?
Yes, MPC is available worldwide. However, restrictions may apply in countries with strict internet access regulations.
Do I get a full year no matter when I sign up?
Yes, memberships last for a full year from date of purchase and grant you access to the existing program for that duration. If you are registering at the end of a calendar year for the program commencing the next year, your membership will last for a year from the date of launch of that program.
Does my membership include access to every year’s course?
No, when you join a course, you only receive access to that year’s course for 12 months.
Can I see a sample of the workouts or meal plans?
Unfortunately, we don’t have a sample to share, but it might help to know that the training program is designed to be done in a gym or at home, and there are variations for each exercise to adapt it to your abilities. As for nutrition, we offer two meal plans, one for meat-eaters and one for lacto/ovo vegetarians. They’re based on balancing macros to our specifications, and we explain how to do that so that you can modify the meal plan to suit your own personal dietary needs and preferences or create your own from scratch.
How do I come up with a challenge?
There’s no requirement to have a challenge when you start the MPC program. Think about something you’ve always wanted to do. That’s always a good place to start. There’s no formal method to declare your goals or challenge, but most people choose to use the members’ Facebook group for that purpose.
How does the training program cater to people with different abilities?
The way that the workouts are adaptable to different abilities (whether because of varying fitness levels or the result of injuries, illness, etc.) is that we offer what we call “variations” for each exercise. The variations range from basic to more advanced, so as you gain flexibility or strength or fitness, you can progress through the variations while still completing the workout as written. Which variation you choose to start with depends on your abilities, and we always recommend that you consult your physician before starting a new training program, just so you’re clear on what movements are strictly off-limits for you.
My doctor/physical therapist/nutritionist/other health professional wants to understand the training and nutrition program I’m doing. How can I share it with them?
Your health is of utmost importance to us, and we encourage you to involve your health care team in your fitness regime. We recommend you share the training and nutrition booklets with your doctor or physical therapist or other health provider, where needed.
About the Private Facebook Group for Members
Is membership in the private Facebook group required?
No, joining the Facebook group is voluntarily and serves as added value to your membership. You do not need to be a member in the group to complete the MPC program.
How long does it take to get accepted into the private Facebook group?
We cross-check every name in the queue for the Facebook group against our membership list. This takes time, so when the page opens, it can take a week or more to be accepted. After the initial rush dies down, we usually go through the queue once a day during business hours.
Why was I not accepted into the private Facebook group?
We cross-check every name in the queue for the Facebook group against our membership list. The most common reason a person is removed from the queue is because the name on her Facebook account differs from the name on our membership list. If this is the case for you, please email community@mypeakchallenge.com to let us know.
How can I contact an admin of the Facebook group?
The best way to reach out is via email to community@mypeakchallenge.com.
Why has my post been removed from the Facebook group?
MPC reserves the rights to remove any post it considers in violation to its Group Rules. The Group Rules are shared with all members via the email invitation to the group. They are also pinned as an announcement in the group itself.
I have been removed from the Facebook group. Can I access the group again?
MPC reserves the right to grant access to the private Facebook group based solely on its own discretion. If group rules have been violated, we will consider the severity and make a judgment based on that.
If I remove myself from the FB group, can I rejoin the group again whenever I wish?
If you have been removed from the group or remove yourself voluntarily, your return to the group will be at our discretion.
I have a question not covered here.
Please email us at support@mypeakchallenge.com.

About Peakers
A Peaker is a member of the My Peak Challenge community. Peakers are committed to personal growth while positively impacting the world around them.
What Is a Peaker?
A Peaker is a member of the My Peak Challenge community. Peakers are committed to personal growth while positively impacting the world around them. By virtue of joining MPC, you will have taken the first step toward supporting a number of great causes, including your own health and well-being.
The Peaker community transcends borders and languages. Whether you’re in Massachusetts or Malta; Colombus or Colombia, your local Peaker community, and Peakers worldwide are ready to welcome you with open arms.
The true heart of MPC is its global community of Peakers.
Peakers can be found on mountaintops, hiking through forests, sweating in gyms or at home, trying something new or working to improve their previous records.
They’re running, reading, lifting, creating, swimming, singing, cycling, rowing, writing, skiing, reaching outside of their comfort zones.
They are open-hearted, excited about opportunities, happy to share their successes, and ready to ask for support when they’re struggling.
They are equally capable of offering a kind word or a motivating kick in the ass.
They gather in local groups around the world, and there’s always, always a pack of Peakers awake and active in our private Facebook group for members, which means that no matter the time zone, there is always a family member waiting to hear from you.
MPC Angel Program
An MPC Angel is someone who anonymously sponsors the membership of another Peaker.
It’s a concept that grew organically out of Peakers’ kindness and their desire to share the MPC2016 Prep Program with those who couldn’t afford it. More than 250 people were sponsored into the 2016 program by an Angel, the vast majority of whom were strangers.
That generosity of spirit has continued since 2016, with hundreds more Peakers joining the program through the kindness of other Peakers.
If you would like to sponsor someone to join MPC, you can purchase the Angels gift card here. We will then apply that membership to someone on the waiting list for an Angel.
If you are interested in being sponsored to join MPC, please fill out the form below. We will then add your name to the waiting list and will contact you if and when you’ve been matched with a sponsor.
If you have questions about the Angel Program, please click here.

This year, 2021, offers a unique challenge. Recovering from the devastating impact Covid-19 has had on bodies, minds, and economies around the globe will take concerted effort and teamwork across borders. One of the most fundamental issues that has arisen is food insecurity. Because of the pandemic, more than 50 million people in the US and hundreds of millions more worldwide will go hungry, as food banks and food supply chains fall under immense stress. Organizations dedicated to addressing hunger urgently need assistance, so this year, 100% of the funds we donate from our membership program will go to the Global FoodBanking Network and Feeding America®.
Feeding America
Feeding America® is the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization with a network of 200 food banks across the country. For more than 40 years, Feeding America has responded to the needs of people struggling with food insecurity in the U.S.
Billions of pounds of food are wasted every year in the U.S while millions of families struggle to find their next meal. Feeding America works to get nourishing food — from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers — to people in need. At the same time, they also seek to help the people they serve build a path to a brighter, food-secure future.
Global FoodBanking Network
The Global FoodBanking Network is an international nonprofit organization that nourishes the world’s hungry through uniting and advancing food banks in more than 40 countries. GFN focuses on combating hunger and preventing food waste by providing expertise, directing resources, sharing knowledge and developing connections that increase efficiency, ensure food safety and reach more people facing hunger.
In 2019, GFN member food banks rescued over 900 million kilograms of food and grocery product and redirected it to feed 16.9 million people through a network of more than 56,000 social service and community-based organizations.
Blood Cancer UK
When Dave and Hilda Eastwood lost their daughter Susan to leukemia in 1960, they were determined to spare other families the pain they had endured — so they started raising money to find a cure.
Blood Cancer UK is their legacy.
The life-saving work the organization does directly affects people like Hugo:
Over the last 50 years, survival rates for childhood cancer have risen from 10 percent chance of survival to nearly 80 percent, and survival of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (among the most common forms of childhood blood cancer) has gone from an average of six months to an 85 percent overall cure rate.
This extraordinary turnaround is due in part to the tireless work of Blood Cancer UK’s supporters, whose efforts have raised millions for blood cancer research over the last 50-plus years.
But despite the incredible advances that have been made, there is still much work to be done.
There are 137 different types of blood cancer affecting millions of people of every age, race, and gender across the globe.
Blood Cancer UK is committed to realizing the Eastwoods’ vision: ensuring everyone affected by blood cancer is able to live their life to the fullest.
Marie Curie
Marie Curie is a UK-based organization dedicated to providing practical and emotional support, along with end-of-life care, to individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness.
The free in-home care that Marie Curie nurses provide for the terminally ill helps the terminally ill get the most out of the time they have left — and allows them to remain in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by their loved ones.
In addition, Marie Curie operates a network of nine hospices across the UK. These facilities offer those living with terminal illness and their loved ones the reassurance of specialist care and support in a friendly, welcoming environment.
Marie Curie is also a global leader in funding palliative-care and end-of-life-care research. The organization supports the work of three long-term palliative-care research facilities across the UK, and projects funded by Marie Curie examine what excellent care looks like for people with terminal illnesses.
Through gentle care and a personal touch, Marie Curie’s nurses support patients and their families every step of the way, bringing light in the darkest of hours.
