2020 IDEA Fitness Inspiration Award Kyle Maynard The IDEA Fitness Inspiration Award is given to an individual who has overcome considerable physical adversity and now includes regular fitness activity in their life while providing inspiration to others. The 2020 recipient, Kyle Maynard, was born with a rare condition known as congenital amputation, that left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end near his knees. He learned early on to live life independently, knowing that exceptions wouldnt be made for him. He has lived his life striving to do more, learn more, push harder, go further, and to inspire others to do the same by sharing his story and living by example.

2020 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year Jeffrey Scott, vice president of fitness, nutrition and results, Beachbody Vice president of fitness, nutrition and results for Beachbody International, Jeffrey reaches a large audience with his creative programming to help people live healthier lives. Whether he is teaching five people or 500, his love for his craft, devotion to his students, enthusiasm for education and his passion to Inspire the World to Fitness is unmatched, says colleague Lisa Wheeler. He has a way of making everyone feel special and, with his close attention to detail, he delivers thoughtful, engaging and compelling content, much of which he has created. You can feel that joy in classes he teaches as well as in his ability to mentor other instructors. Jeffrey truly loves what he does. And it shows.

2020 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year Leslee Bender, creator of Bender Ball Method and Director of I Am Ageless Now You could summarize Leslee Benders impact on fitness in two words: Bender Ball. Thats accuratemore than 1 million Bender Balls have been sold since 2007but, as a tribute, its woefully incomplete. Benders influence on personal training over the last 30 years is a much bigger story. My mission is to help people of all ages and sizes to embrace life and age gracefully, Bender says. That focus led to the creation of The Bender Method of Trainingthe first to use a small ball to protect the back and work the core. She has since certified more than 2,000 instructors in this safe method of functional Pilates training.
