Happy New Year pumpers and may ‘07 bring you an abundance of health, wealth and happiness – and plenty of great Les Mills classes! We are just back from a great holiday in the Kiwi sunshine and putting the final touches to a great new release. BODYPUMP 62 has got great music and more than the usual dose of innovations. It will also be great to ...

Everyone at Les Mills loves talking about the programs (sort of an obsession really!)  So big thanks to our ‘bright ideas’ department (aka Marketing) for coming up with a way to get others talking about them too.  We’re now doing mini-interviews about each new class straight after DVD filming and putting them up on the website when the ...

Hi there Pumpers!Who's got a great story about people changing their life with BODYPUMP? We know there are zillions of them out there and we want you to help us find the best of them so we can profile our BODYPUMP heroes. Just let us know about a story of someone you know or have taught and we'll put it into a draw with $US500 for the lucky ...

The 4/2006 release is safely “in the can” guys and the classes are simply fantastic!!! We filmed all seven on Sunday amidst incredible passion and energy in Studio One. Special thanks to Kili Marti for coming down from the U.S. to join the BODYCOMBAT and BODYJAM presenter teams and to Ute Wagner from Germany for presenting on BODYATTACK and our ...

Dropping in on Maverick’s gym in Ventura, California paid off big-time for yours truly. Not only did I get the chance to do a world class BODYPUMP® workout and make some great new friends – but they also sent me these amazing shots from their recent country fair. The club participates in the annual fair parade and club owner Molly Hill decided ...

Excitement levels are rising around Les Mills as we count down to filming the next round of masterclasses on Sunday, August 13. As always, the new releases are the climax of months of work by the Program Directors and their teams. The new classes are looking brilliant in last-minute trials and we’ve got two milestones to celebrate this time – ...

Wow – we made it! As of last week, Les Mills is officially in more than ten thousand clubs in 63 different countries!!! What an amazing effort for a small company from a small country at the bottom of the world!!!! Huge credit also goes to our Les Mills agents, trainers and instructors around the world and it was great news to see new clubs in ...

No pressure – just the first time we have ever filmed all seven new classes on one day! And in a new studio!! And with the Les Mills New Zealand’s superquarterly going off on the same day!!! And with minor issues like having to carry 43 RPM bikes back and forth from their usual home!!!! And with this being my first class as BODYPUMP head ...

The IHRSA25 convention in Las Vegas was the usual sensory implosion of business shifting from stocks to frocks and back again in the flick of a neon sign for four days solid. In its 25th year IHRSA broke every record: more people, more countries, more sessions and a combined attendance at the Las Vegas Convention Center in excess of 14000 ...

Finishing a new round of classes is a big relief for the Les Mills program directors – and a great excuse for a quarterly get-together and wind-down. So on completion of the 2/2006 Release off we went for a day of swimming, picnicking, walking and frisbee-ing at spectacular Piha beach near Auckland. This is one of the most beautiful spots in reach ...
