who completed 75 hard challenge

A definitive master list of everyone who has completed the 75 Hard challenge does not exist publicly, so there is no single official answer to “who completed 75 Hard.”

What “completing 75 Hard” actually means

To be considered as having completed the 75 Hard challenge (as created by Andy Frisella), people generally mean they did all of the following every day for 75 consecutive days, with no misses:

  • Two 45‑minute workouts per day, with at least one workout outdoors.
  • Follow a chosen diet, with no cheat meals and no alcohol.
  • Drink one gallon of water per day.
  • Read 10 pages of a non‑fiction/self‑improvement book.
  • Take a daily progress photo.

If any task is missed, the rule of the program is that you start again from day 1.

Known examples of people who completed it

Because the challenge is internet‑based and self‑reported, “proof” usually comes from personal blogs, YouTube videos, or social posts where people document all 75 days. Here are a few examples of individuals who publicly say they completed 75 Hard (or effectively did so) and shared their stories:

  • A blogger on “Rad Red Rambles” wrote a detailed reflection titled “75 Hard: challenge complete,” describing finishing the challenge over a 75‑day period in 2022 and how it affected their mindset and consistency.
  • A long‑form YouTube video titled “I COMPLETED 75 HARD…. and it transformed my entire life. (My Full Journey)” documents someone’s full 75‑day run with the five daily tasks and reflections on weight loss, quitting alcohol, and habit building.
  • Rob Cressy published a “75 Hard Challenge success story” describing how completing 75 Hard and then the later phases (“Live Hard”) changed his life and drove significant traffic to his site.

There are also many Reddit and forum posts where users report finishing, often sharing before‑and‑after photos or day‑by‑day logs, but these are individual anecdotes rather than a central registry.

A note on edge‑cases

Some people do “their own version” of 75 Hard or miss one rule (for example, forgetting a progress picture) and still feel they “completed” it in spirit. Others insist that if any rule is broken—even by a few hours—you technically did not complete the challenge and must restart. This disagreement is part of ongoing community debate.

Why there’s no official completion list

  • The challenge is free, self‑run, and not centrally tracked, even though the creator offers PDFs and materials to help you log your own progress.
  • People all over the world do it at different times, logging progress in apps, notebooks, or private trackers rather than in a global database.
  • Most “who completed 75 Hard” conversations happen in YouTube comments, blogs, or subreddits where individuals share success stories, not on an official leaderboard.

If you’re asking because you’re considering it

If your real aim is to see “is it actually doable?” the short answer is yes—many ordinary people, not just influencers, report finishing it, though it’s demanding and polarizing. A typical pattern from success stories includes:

  • Planning workouts and water intake in advance so nothing is left to chance.
  • Using checklists, apps, or printed PDFs to mark off each task daily.
  • Keeping the diet simple and sustainable rather than overly extreme.
