2 London, England. Preston, England. EMMA BARRY At the original club the birthplace of BODYPUMP Les Mills Auckland. The moment I saw the program, I just knew it was for me. Clean and Press. If there was one move to rule them all it would be this a wicked blend of cardio kicker and full body noise. Just keep showing up. We ll do the rest! RACHAEL NEWSHAM The home of Les Mills in Auckland, New Zealand, where I also teach and choreograph Les Mills SH BAM and BODYCOMBAT programs. But as an international trainer, I can teach anywhere and everywhere! I loved doing it as a class participant and wanted to share it with my friends who knew nothing about it. I love shoulders. Anything working with plates rocks! Fall in love with fitness/working out and the rest comes naturally. SUSAN RENATA Auckland, New Zealand. When I m home, at Les Mills Auckland. When I m not, 24 Hour Fitness, Gold s Gym, and all around the world! I used to watch the BODYPUMP class that was on before my step class. I was fascinated by so many people (especially females) doing weights and having fun. Plus the music was always awesome! I had no idea that I would love it so much. The Clean and Press. When people do this move with challenging weights all the way to the end, you can see that they re not only stronger physically, but mentally they re like, I can do this! I can do anything! ASA ERIKSSON GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN In a town called Mölndal near Gothenburg, Sweden. Gothenburg, Sweden n instructor? I wanted to become stronger in general and to find a complement to my dancing. Since I love working out to music, this was perfect! Dead Row. It gives great posture for everyday life and the butt looks great doing it. ;) Know WHY you do it. With a goal, everything is much more fun! Moderation. Too much of anything is unhealthy. Try everything!

3 Nashville, Tennessee. Stockholm, Sweden. 24 Hour Fitness, Irvine, California. Fisico, Madrid, Spain. JERICHO MCDUFFIE LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA It took one class. I was instantly addicted to the energy, and knew that this class was about to change my life forever. The Mac Raise. It s such a raw exercise. I love watching my participants faces in the final few reps of this exercise during the shoulder track. Never underestimate the importance of stretching! PETTER EHRNVALL MADRID, SPAIN n instructor? I think I just love working out! Clean and Press, or the entire back track. You work your whole body and can put on some massive weights. Find a type of exercise/workout that you enjoy. Then turn up the intensity. Chico, California. Singapore. Valley Athletic Club, Olympia, Washington. Singapore. JOEL FREEMAN OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON After taking my very first BODYPUMP class, I was captivated and inspired by the music and moves. I love lifting weights, and I wanted to show people it s possible to do something they never thought they could! I ve always loved the shoulder tracks, mainly the Mac Raise. Combined with the music and choreography, it s such a powerful exercise. When someone tells me they re thinking about trying a class, I tell them to get in there and try it. They may feel lost the first time, but they ll still have a blast and it will only get better from there. BEN TANG I loved the motivational aspect of weight training with music. What's your favorite LeS mills pump Definitely the Clean and Press/Row combo. It s got everything in it upper and lower body plus it just feels good. Be realistic.

BEN FELICIANO LAKELAND, FLORIDA Overhead Tricep Extensions. My triceps and arms in general are very strong, so when I educate participants on the importance of proper execution and safety, they always look at my arms first. Then they actively listen. It s all about the participants. You have to set specific goals and be very detailed about them. Then you have to continuously follow up with your goals and be flexible enough to adjust and tweak what s not working. SHELDON MCBEE LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA Squat. I can put the most weight on the bar, I feel strong, and I love watching the room move with so much strength. Be realistic!

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA Gold s Gym, Santa Monica, California. I m a Mills (the original Les Mills is my grandfather!), so the addiction to BODYPUMP is really in my blood. Clean and Press.

Always stay consistent with exercise and nutrition rather than starting and stopping. Think long term. What can you realistically keep doing for the next 10 years?

We created BODYPUMP to make weight training more accessible and fun, and I created BODYFLOW to do the same for yoga so more people would experience its wonderful benefits.
