What happened to coach tyler wall
Hey everyone, I just watched the latest MrBeast video, “Lose 100 LBs, Win $250,000!” and I’m still processing it. If you haven’t seen it, it’s one of those videos that hits you right in the feels—equal parts inspiring and absolutely gut-wrenching. It’s about Majd, a guy who took on an insane challenge to lose 100 pounds while isolated in a training facility, with the promise of a life-changing $250k.
By the end, he walked away with over $417k, a new look, and a new lease on life. But the real story, the one that’s got me typing this out at 2 a.m., is about Coach Tyler Wall—the fitness coach who helped Majd through this journey and tragically didn’t live to see the end of it.
For those who don’t know, Coach Tyler Wall was the heart and soul behind Majd’s transformation. He wasn’t just some hired trainer barking orders.
From what I’ve read and seen in the video, Tyler was the kind of guy who could make you believe in yourself, even when you were at your lowest.
He was there with Majd almost every day at the start, pushing him through grueling workouts, hyping him up, and forming this incredible bond that you can feel through the screen.
There’s this one moment where Tyler’s laughing with Majd, telling him, “You’re gonna crush this, man,” and you can just tell it’s not fake. It’s real. That kind of connection is rare, and it made the video so much more than just another MrBeast challenge.
But then, halfway through filming, tragedy struck. Tyler Wall was found dead in his apartment in Greenville, NC, on February 18, 2025. He was only 38. I don’t know about you, but that hit me like a ton of bricks.
The video includes a tribute at the end: “In Loving Memory of Coach Tyler Wall.” It’s a punch to the gut. According to MrBeast’s team, Tyler’s death was sudden and unexpected, and out of respect, they almost scrapped the whole video.
They reached out to his family, who said Tyler would’ve wanted the video to go live to keep spreading his message of hope and positivity. That’s the kind of guy he was—always about lifting others up, even in the face of his own struggles.
The thing is, we don’t know much about how Tyler passed. His obituary and other sources just call it “unexpected,” and his family’s keeping the cause private, which I totally get. Losing someone so young, so full of life, is hard enough without the internet speculating.
But of course, people on Reddit and X are already throwing out theories—some say it could’ve been a health issue, others mention the possibility of suicide or an accident. I’m not here to add to that noise.
What matters is who Tyler was and the impact he had. From his obituary, I learned he was a Southington, Connecticut, native who graduated from UCONN with a Bachelor’s in Arts.
He was a world traveler, a hip-hop lover, and someone who poured his heart into helping others become their best selves. He coached people from all over, not just in the gym but in life, teaching them to stay grounded and keep pushing forward.
What really gets me is how Tyler’s legacy shines through in Majd’s story. Majd was stuck in this tiny circle for nearly six months, cut off from the world, with nothing but healthy food, workout gear, and Tyler’s coaching to keep him going. And when Tyler passed,
Majd didn’t quit. He kept grinding, losing the 100 pounds and then some, and when he finally stepped out on Day 178, he dedicated it all to Tyler. “Without Coach Wall, I wouldn’t have been able to do this,” he said. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
I keep thinking about how Tyler’s work didn’t just change Majd’s life—it’s inspiring people like me, watching from a couch halfway across the country. His energy, his belief in others, it’s contagious.
There’s a reason why tributes are pouring in on X and Reddit, with people calling him a “legend” and saying he “saw the gol
