GOSSIP IS GREAT! WELL, WE THINK SO...

“ Thanks to LES MILLS™ classes we

showed a 70% increase in attendance

over the last year. It’s just snowballed

– and now we’re going to have to go to

call reservations for almost all of our

classes! The group fi tness management

support is extremely effective and the

marketing materials are phenomenal –

they’re much cheaper to order than they

are to have it done yourself. ”

MARSHA COWLING, GROUP FITNESS DIRECTOR, DESOTO ATHLETIC CLUB, TENNESSEE, USA

AND SO YOU DON’T THINK WE’RE BLOWING OUR OWN TRUMPET, WE ASKED A FEW OF THE CLUBS IN OUR GLOBAL NETWORK WHAT THEY THOUGHT ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS AND WORKSHOPS. HERE’S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY.

Page 21: Les Mills - People, Performance, Profit, Proven,

“I would highly recommend Les Mills to other clubs.

It makes your management job easier and

your profi t line higher. What’s more, the members

win – LES MILLS™ classes are high-quality workouts

that really get people in shape.”

DAVID PATCHELL-EVANS, PRESIDENT AND CEO, GOODLIFE FITNESS CLUBS, CANADA

“Since we launched BODYPUMP (in 2009) our Group Fitness

attendances are up 38% from the previous year! Our noon

classes originally attracted between 4-5 participants and now

they attract 20-25 loyal members! Our evening classes are

packed and we’re fi nally attracting men”

BARB LAROCCO, GROUP FITNESS MANAGER, ELMHURST PARK DISTRICT, ELMHURST, ILLINOIS, USA

“LES MILLS™ programs are well known in the

market and loved all around the world.

Les Mills has helped make it really easy

to get people through the door.”

TIM JENNER, GROUP FITNESS DIRECTOR, ENJOY FITNESS CLUB, ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA

“There’s a real sense of camaraderie that fuels my passion

THE PEOPLEBEHIND THE PASSIONBehind the amazing culture of Les Mills are our people. We call ourselves a tribe, and it means we’re always working towards the same goal of creating a fitter world. We’re brave, motivated and always seeking new opportunities. And along the way, we ensure everything we do is world-class.

The enthusiasm we have for life-changing fitness dates back to the 1960s when four-time Olympic athlete Les Mills and wife Colleen opened their first gym in Auckland, New Zealand. Their passionate belief in the benefits of exercise was shared by their son Phillip, who was also a top athlete.

After attending a scholarship at UCLA, Phillip returned home with a whole new perspective on the fitness industry. He instinctively recognized that the combination of motivating music, inspiring choreography and energizing instructors that he’d witnessed could bring an exciting new dimension to the exercise experience and he began developing variations on that theme.

His first creation was an early version of the weights-to-music program that would become BODYPUMP™, and The Original Barbell Class™ caught on so quickly, Phillip dispatched five of his most motivating instructors to take it further afield. Their infectious enthusiasm combined with the program’s spectacular results soon opened doors around the planet.

Today Les Mills is the global leader in Group Fitness. Members of the Les Mills tribe can be found in almost every corner of the world – sharingtheir enthusiasm and passion to create life-changing fitness experiencesand a fitter planet.

PHILLIP MILLS, CEO, LES MILLS INTERNATIONAL

COLLEEN AND LES MILLS, 1968 LES AND PHILLIP MILLS

THE STORY OF LES MILLS IS ONE OF INSPIRATION, CREATIVITY, ENERGY AND PASSION.
