Speedflex to Hold Fundraising Challenge in Support of Stephen Miller’s Tokyo 2020 Campaign
Do you like working out and keeping fit? Like a challenge? Speedflex Jesmond are looking for 80 to 100 people to sign up to complete a challenge of doing 50,000 clean and presses in a day to help Paralympian Stephen Miller achieve his dream of competing in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. The challenge will take place on Friday the 13th December at the Speedflex Jesmond centre in the Fleming Business Centre, Jesmond between 6.30am and 7pm.
Participants will work in pairs to complete as many clean and presses as possible in a 45-minute session on the revolutionary Speedflex machines, with the aim of hitting a minimum 500 reps in a session and a cumulative total of 50,000 by 7pm.
Participants can choose what time they would like to complete their part of the challenge, it’s free to take part, all that is asked is to raise a minimum £50 in sponsorship that will go towards local Paralympian Stephen Miller’s campaign to get into the GB team for next year’s Tokyo Paralympics and get on the podium.
The money raised will help with the cost of competitions, training camps and equipment as Miller looks to qualify for his 7th Paralympics. The funds could be even more vital as Stephen faces the prospect of losing his Lottery funding support.

This is a great opportunity to be part of an exciting challenge and push your physical limits as well as experiencing the revolutionary Speedflex training system if you haven’t already. Speedflex machines provide a way of training that is suitable for all ages and abilities, it has low impact on joints, is very adaptable and results in little to no muscle soreness.
Stephen said “Training at Speedflex was instrumental in my recovery from total hip replacement surgery in 2012. The low impact and high intensity resistance training was ideal for my rehab and I was able to get back into full training just 6 months after surgery, since then it has been an integral part of my training and played an important part in my Bronze medal winning performance in the Rio 2016 Paralympics.”
“The staff and clients at Speedflex have always given me huge support and I’m delighted that they are opening up their studio for this challenge to help me on my journey to Tokyo 2020, it’s an amazing gesture. This is a tough challenge, but I always say nothing worth doing in life is easy and I’m sure participants will get a lot of satisfaction from taking part, as well as burning off calories before the Christmas season.”
“This is ideal for anyone who likes a challenge and enjoys pushing their body to the limit, I know I do! I would be so grateful to everyone that gets involved. In taking part you are joining the ever-expanding Team Miller and becoming part of history. Book your place and take part in a very different challenge.”
