For Murph and the TPS staff

After 28 years of serving the community, Total Performance Sports is facing the unfortunate and untimely end of an era. This fundraiser is for Murph, the owner of TPS, and the staff who helped make it so much more than a gym. For years, Murph and the team at TPS created a space where people from all walks of life could come together, push themselves, and improve in ways that went far beyond health and physique. They built a community rooted in hard work, support, and values that brought people together, and along the way Murph also hosted charity events that raised tens of thousands of dollars for causes he cared about and gave every dollar directly to those charities. So many people have been impacted by Murph, Matt, Russ, Cody, Mike, Cheryl, and the entire TPS family in more ways than they may even realize.

Now, during this difficult closure, the hope is to give something back to the people who have given so much. These funds will help Murph and the TPS staff as they navigate this transition and find support after years of selflessly showing up for others. Murph is the kind of person who would never ask for help, but right now he deserves some. If Total Performance Sports has helped you the way it has helped so many others, please consider supporting this fundraiser in any way you can. Even a dollar helps. People can also stop by for a day pass, get a copy of Murph’s book, become Hard 2 Kill, buy a shirt or hoodie, and most importantly, come together, reconnect, and appreciate this community while it is still here.

I encourage you to share some of your favorite TPS stories, memories, achievements, and more in the comments!
