Shawn Bendinelli - Advertising Director by day, Les Mills super hero by night.

I caught the Les Mills bug a couple of years ago getting my certification in Body Pump; and have continued the addiction with an RPM certification. Being that cycling has been a passion of mine for many years now, RPM seems to be a perfect fit for me; I have recently continued the passion with a Body Flow certification. I love the opportunity to help people achieve their goals and to push further then they ever thought they could. I am married to a real sweetie who has also become addicted to the Les Mills programs, and rocks the house as a Body Pump and RPM instructor!

Interests: Cycling, climbing, motorcycling and technology (I can be a bit of a geek)
Other Les Mills Interests: Vive, Combat

2008 LIVESTRONG Challenge Ride - Austin TX

I am privileged to join the US National Trainers team for this great cause!

Cancer is defiant. So we're going to defy it. It's persistent. So we have to persevere. It's discouraging. So we must have courage. We are doing the LIVESTRONG Challenge - uniting people to pick a fight with cancer and to stand up for the nearly 12 million Americans living with cancer today.

Support the Les Mills RPM cycling team as we ride our butts off in an effort to further the research, find a cure and help support those families touch by cancer in one form or another.

The loudest voice out there is our resource; the Lance Armstrong, Live Strong Challenge in Austin Texas on October 26th, 2008. It's a mere 90 miles....

The North America RPM Trainers want to build a huge team and we can't do it alone! We want you to join us in the fight!

I've got more pics of the "100 challenge" but this one was funny.
Thanks so much for a great inspiring day.

YOU ARE A RPM ROCKSTAR!! What a great time we all had at your "LIVESTRONG" challenge. Your rpm team gave me more confidence to stay committed to our RPM program, and what a great cause! Thanks for pushing us to succeed for the benefit of all.
sweaty hugs,

Our RPM100 event was a huge success with 35 participants taking on the challenge of 100 miles of indoor cycling. This event raised $1300 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and generated quite the buzz at our gym.

Seven releases back to back. WOW!!!! You are my idol!!! Hope you had a great time. As you were riding your big ride, I was launching RPM 40 at our club. The guys on our team were out, so it was up to the girls this time, equipped with matching "Betty Boop" jerseys!!! We launched 3 classes and ROCKED THE HOUSE!!! I am now known as the RPM DI (Drill Instructor)!!! Imagine that!! Little ole me!! I guess my quiet demeanor just takes a back seat when my wheel gets rolling!!! I now have my own class as well!!!! Woohoo!!!! Yes, my name is now in print on the Evergreen Fitness website!!! Can't wait til the next quarterly comes to the area!!

Less then 24 hours away from our huge fund raising event for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Our RPM100 Challenge has 35 participants riding 100 miles of indoor cycling (that's 7 releases back to back - 46 tracks). I will post pictures and results after the event.

Kris Anne	Hello Shawn! Thank you for requesting to be my friend. We are actually looking for another Body flow instructor at our gym, if you don't mind the small commute to North Carolina! Let me know how things are going for you!

Holy crow Shawn...you do all that AND have a "real" job? You are incredible.

And that RPM100 is kind of a crazy idea...and I like it. Very cool. Is the whole thing led by one instructor? Or do the instructors change up?

As far as the visit, what would be great is if there is a Saturday am class on October 4th - if not, then I will have to make a special trip just for one (or more) of your classes!

Thanks for the quick response - hope to hear from you soon.
