At 6:15 am on Saturday morning, I walked into my 12-year-old son’s room expecting to hear what most parents would expect that early on a weekend: “Maybe next time.”

Instead, he popped right out of bed.

Sweat for the Environment is a one-of-a-kind fitness competition to raise money and awareness for Washington-based environmental nonprofits doing the essential, hands-on work to protect our planet. Connect with local organizations, take environmental action, and sweat for a cause. This isn’t just a competition; it’s a celebration of strength, community, and environmental impact.

At Experience Momentum, we don’t just talk about our mission—we live it. From volunteering with EarthCorps to having meaningful conversations at home, we believe growth comes from purpose-driven action. Whether in the clinic, community, or everyday life, we’re here to redefine what’s possible—together.

On Saturday, April 26th, 25 teams of athletes gathered not just to compete, but to contribute—to move their bodies with purpose, and to sweat in support of the planet. The workout was fierce—three events that tested strength, endurance, and teamwork. (And yes, that bike station was truly quad-melting.) 

The fight to protect our environment has never been easy, but today, it is more urgent than ever. Federal funding cuts have left many environmental non-profits struggling to continue their vital work, and it is up to us—businesses, communities, and individuals—to step up and fill the gap. 

At Experience Momentum, connection is woven into our DNA. The very first words of our mission statement are: "To connect with..."—because we know that meeting people where they are on their journey, whether in fitness, health, or life, is where the real magic happens.
