Les Mills Kia Kaha

Portuguese Invasion

Wow. These guys rock! The Portuguese have been all over Les Mills in the last few days and making a huge impression in kiwi country. Matteo played a big part in filming BODYJAM 35 and he’s going to be a great front man for the program at BTS’s “The Event”conventions in the UK next month.

In town with Matteo were friends Joanna and Fabio – that’s them in the picture with yours truly. Meanwhile countryman Luis Cerca was adding to the Portuguese invasion, joining Mike and Susan on the presentation team for the new BODYPUMP class.

Watch out for BODYJAM 35 guys – it’s the second class in the new format and it goes off, with a big emphasis on jazz cardio and a red-hot dancehall style. Thanks again to Misty and Matteo for their expert input into the choreo and a great filming class, with over 150 jammers rockin’ to da beat.

I’m off to Atlanta for a Les Mills USA workshop on Saturday and then onto Can Fit Pro in Toronto. See you there!

Hi guys,
I am a Body Pump and Flow instructor. Im so excited Jam is doing so well ! I had the oppurtunity to do it in Chicago. I really want it at our Gym. We currently feature Combat, Flow, Pump, Step. Sadly or GM dosent seem to care to much about our group fitness programs and is blowing off my positive reports on Jam. I have left him the materials we were given in Chicago. But I don't believe he even looked at it. A fact I know because he asked me yearterday "do boys do it?" A question asked during a brow beating for buzzing about jam in the gym. He told me to cool it. I can't its such a cool program! and advice?

P.s. I love the guy in the light blue.

Gandalf, just want to say... I love you man! Just returned from the Can-Fit Pro conference in Toronto and experienced my first BodyJam class. I haven't had that much fun in a long time and wow was I ever sore after it. I'm so stoked for the program to reach Canada..can't wait! Gandalf, keep up the awesome choreo, it was an unforgettable experience meeting you!

Hey G,

Just want to tell you that Body Jam is the biggest hit here in the Philppines. Since Filipinos are a dance-based culture, Jam is the most popular among the 4 other progs that we have here.

Every release gets better and better since we started with 24. Thanks to you guys! its not just the workouts we share but the experience that they keep on looking for in the club.

We hope you can come over here and see it for yourself.

Thanks.
