iFIT instructor Tommy Rivs gets hit by car while riding bike (2024)
iFIT instructor Tommy Rivers, known by most as Tommy Rivs, has had a rough few years. Rivs was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of lung cancer in 2020, which almost took his life. He has since inspired countless others by continuing to charge forward with a relentlessly positive attitude. Then this weekend, while out for a bike ride, he got hit by a car.
Images Tommy Rivs showed of some of his injuries certainly look painful (look at his instagram if you want to see them). However, he seems to be in good spirits and after some of his wounds were taped up, he continued his bike ride afterwards.
Got into another tussle with a car yesterday. Car won. Grateful it was just a few more scars and that my faithful@fezzari_bicyclessteed survived to see another day. What a gift to be alive.
We last reported on Tommy Rivs when he remarkably finished the NY marathon last November after being told he may never be active again. While many may recognize Rivs from some of his iconic iFIT classes, some may not know that he is:
a physical therapist (DPT)
an anthropologist
a linguist who speaks five languages
a licensed massage therapist
a husband and father of three girls
Tommy Rivs recently released a new walking series with iFIT that can be taken on any iFIT-enabled treadmill or elliptical. We wish Rivs the best on his recovery and ask the universe to please give this man a break!
“I eat almost completely plant based carbs for the first 8 hours of the day and then when I'm trying to “harden up” and get lean before a race, I eat almost exclusively animal protein after 4 pm until the next morning. So all carbs for the first 8 hours of the day and then no carbs for the next 16 hours.”
It features my friend Tommy Rivers Puzey, who a couple of weeks ago sent me a series of alarming voice messages from a hospital ICU in Flagstaff, where he lives with his family.
Here's a little secret about Steph Catudal's memoir, “Everything All at Once,” which chronicles her husband's harrowing skirmish with lung cancer in 2020: The book's even-numbered chapters were written years ago, long before Tommy Rivers Puzey, Catudal's ultramarathon-running spouse, developed a hacking cough that gave ...
This short film will center on the story of Tommy “Rivs” Puzey as told through the voice and recollections of his wife Steph Catudal. Tommy is a well established extreme runner, with a large following on social media, and a cancer recovery saga that has only turned up his voice.
After Facing Death, the New York City Marathon Has New Meaning for Tommy Rivers Puzey. The 38-year-old runner views the 26.2 miles as a celebration of his recovery and progress toward his new goal: to build a body strong enough to fight cancer, if and when it returns.
The 37-year-old is a far different runner now than he was in 2017, after a near-death battle with a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma. “I know I am one of the lucky ones, to still be alive,” he says.
In this Tommy Rivs Puzey profile, we will discuss who Tommy Rivs is not only as an endurance athlete but as a survivor of a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma, and his triumphant story of healing.
At 6 feet and an almost burly 170 pounds, he'll be easy to find among the early front-runners, and that's a good thing because Puzey's penchant for testing his limits to the extreme, for keeping the pedal to the medal until he's ready to literally drop, makes him a fan favorite wherever he's racing.
The well-known trail runner from Flagstaff, Arizona, was transferred to HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborne Medical Center in the Phoenix metro area on Thursday, July 23, after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer known as NK T Cell lymphoma.
