You’ll be hard-pressed to find an obstacle that MTV’s The Challenge contestant Chauncey Palmer isn’t eager to face. In fact, the Boston-born fitness coach, reality television star, and content creator seems to always be searching for his next big adventure. Whether he’s making his boxing debut or gearing up for multiple appearances on MTV’s toughest competition show, Chauncey Palmer loves a challenge. We recently sat down with him to chat about his lifelong passion for fitness, his devotion to his OnlyFans subscribers, and how he stays motivated to reach new heights.
Has fitness always been important to you?
Yes. Growing up it was because, in order to be the best athlete that you can be, you have to be in top shape.
But it didn’t really start being very important to me in my life until after college. During Covid, I was like, “I can’t be in the house not doing anything.”
So, fitness became really big in my life, and I’ve just kept going ever since.
And have you always been a natural competitor?
Since I was a kid! Always, with every sport, everything—even in gym class, I was just always wanting to compete.
Not even just in sports, but in life; I love competing. Life is like a game, and I always want to be on top.
There's just something in my head, like a switch. When I hear there's a challenge, or competition, or any sport, I could just go to the gym and play basketball...
And I'm just like, "I've got to win."
I played basketball growing up, and I fell in love with it. I played college basketball for a bit and was going to go overseas to play. But I ended up focusing on fitness.
Besides you, who else is in your dream starting five?
I would put Michael Jordan at shooting guard. I'd put Jayson Tatum at small forward, just because I'm from Boston, so I've got to have some type of Boston player on there.
For power forward, probably Anthony Davis. And then for center, Joel Embiid.
How did you prepare for MTV’s The Challenge?
I started training for it specifically, so when I got there, I was like, “It's game time now.” I was feeling confident and ready.
But there were certain things that were obviously tough, you know, like heights and everything like that—I hate that. It’s hard to see that as competition because I still don’t understand the point of it.
But everything else in general, like eliminations and everything… people are usually scared of eliminations and don’t want to go into them. I don’t mind going into any because I just love competing.
Did you ever think, "WTF did I get myself into?"
My first season, they put us on [top of] one of the tallest buildings in Argentina. I literally was like, “There’s no way I’m doing this.” I didn’t understand why we had to be up there.
That was the time when I was like, “I don’t know if this is meant for me.” But I loved it, so I would 100% go back.
What are your future plans on OnlyFans?
OFTV. I definitely want to get into that and actually start using that platform to connect with my fans. You know, more fitness stuff on there as well.
I would want my content to be somewhat similar to how my YouTube is, with fitness and personal training tips, but a little more personal.
I’d add a little more explanation to the workouts and give a better understanding and teaching there, rather than just, “Oh, follow my workout plan.” I would actually explain why I am doing certain workouts.
What makes your OnlyFans profile special?
I’m literally putting in my time on this platform to make sure [my fans] are getting the content that they want, with requests and everything.
Compared to my Instagram and Twitter (where that’s just content that I put out naturally), on OnlyFans, I am taking the time to actually think about each post.
I really want to make sure that the fans are happy.
What drives you to keep evolving as a creator?
I understand that it's okay to do a lot and not just stick to one thing specifically.
Don't get me wrong—you can stick to one craft and be a master or a pro at it. But for ultimate growth, you should be open to trying new things and different experiences.
Just open your eyes to seeing what else you can do. I think what motivates me is non-stop growth.
