In a sweaty whirlwind of grit and humour, the Shield Athletics team raised $1,000 for Movember—while nearly combusting on an assault bike.

The challenge? Burn one calorie per dollar raised. The result? A hilarious saga of groans, grit, and some very questionable decisions.

“We wanted to support a great cause and prove we’re as tough as we tell our athletes to be,” said Brandon Coccimiglio, Director of Player Development and Co-Founder, rocking a freshly waxed Movember moustache.

Dr. Jon Morrow, Shield’s Co-Founder and team chiropractor, took a more scientific approach. “I calibrated my calorie burn rate based on optimal biomechanics,” Morrow explained between gasps for air. “Turns out, I’m just really out of shape.”

Meanwhile, Amanda Clement, the event’s unofficial MVP, cheered everyone on all while maintaining perfect hair.

Abdul Safadie brought his competitive spirit, challenging everyone to “keep up or get off.” He earned the honorary title of “Shield’s Human Tornado.” 
While AJ Young’s zen-like mantra, “This is fine. Everything is fine.” kept him peddling steadily.

Dynamic duo Mackenzie Leblanc and Katie Williams proved teamwork makes the calorie count climb, while Mackenna Reese hyped the team with chants of “For the moustaches!”

The funds raised will support Movember’s men’s health initiatives, making every sore leg worth it. “Would we do it again?” said the team. “Ask us when the soreness fades.”
