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.
“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.
