Coach Wall, MrBeast’s Trainer, Dies During 100-Pound Challenge Filming

In MrBeast’s year-long weight loss challenge, which concluded after 178 days, Coach Tyler Wall played a central support role as the personal trainer for Majd, a contestant attempting to lose 100 pounds within one year to win a $250,000 prize. Wall’s responsibilities included creating customized workout routines, structuring nutrition plans, and maintaining accountability within the enclosed challenge environment.

Majd began the challenge at 324 pounds on November 8, 2023. Under Wall’s supervision, his daily routine involved up to 18,000 steps, five days of weight training per week, and adherence to a 2,500-calorie diet. Early sessions focused on building fundamental fitness skills such as basic squats and push-up form. Wall also led meal preparation lessons, including demonstrations on how to grill and portion lean proteins.

Coaching Approach and Early Results

During the first month, Majd lost 20 pounds, marking 20% of his total weight-loss target. Coach Wall incorporated structured rest days and facilitated weekly doctor visits to ensure safe progression. He progressively scaled up Majd’s physical intensity while helping him improve consistency and mental resilience.

Wall also supported Majd through emotional setbacks. At one point in the video, Majd shared that it had been one year since his father passed away. Coach responded supportively, telling him, “Good man. Made a good son.”

By day 60, Majd had reached 286 pounds. He completed 31 push-ups on-camera, earning $31,000 toward his prize pool—nearly doubling his push-up capacity since the start. Wall continued to guide him through additional fitness and strength-based milestones, including preparation for a duffel bag money-carrying challenge.

Final Appearances and Passing of Coach Tyler Wall

Coach Wall was last seen in the video on Day 83, sharing one of the most heartfelt moments of the challenge. Reflecting on Majd’s transformation, he said,

“The way I’ve come to know you over these past couple months, man. It’s like, you’re just a very kind, caring, compassionate human being. You’re gonna positively influence millions of people.”

A moment later, the tone shifted to a lighter exchange. With a grin, Coach Wall remarked, “I don’t know why I got this idea in my head. What was that like, jumping in that money?” Majd immediately embraced the energy—he dove into the cash pile. He called out, “All right, your turn, Coach.” Wall followed with enthusiasm, landing in the money beside him and joking, “Yeah, I don’t know if I want to get out of here.”

That exchange captured a rare moment of levity and connection, underscoring the trust and mutual respect built between the two throughout the challenge.

It would be their final moment together on camera. The following day—January 30, 2024—Coach Wall was found deceased in his apartment. The cause of death was not disclosed.

The news was delivered on-camera to Majd on Day 85 by a member of the MrBeast production team while creator Jimmy Donaldson was abroad. Majd was visibly emotional and took time to reflect on whether he wished to continue. He ultimately decided to finish the challenge in Wall’s honor.

Completion of the Challenge

Majd completed the challenge in exactly 178 days. During that period, he lost 100 pounds, reduced his mile run time from over 17 minutes to just over 8 minutes, and achieved a 60-second dead hang suspended 100 feet in the air. He also performed 3,950 pushups and made over 17,000 basketball shots throughout the duration of the challenge.

His final weigh-in showed a body weight of 224 pounds. MrBeast awarded a total prize pool of $417,000 based on completed milestones and performance bonuses. A tribute plaque honoring Coach Wall was installed at the facility.

Commemoration and Legacy

Coach Wall’s influence extended beyond physical training. Through motivational support, on-screen coaching, and personal encouragement, he played a defining role in shaping Majd’s fitness transformation. His name and contributions remain closely associated with one of the most widely viewed personal transformation challenges on the MrBeast YouTube channel.
