Getting to a Swedish super-quarterly has always been high on my “to do” list and now I know why. Last weekend’s gig in Stockholm was simply incredible. From the first class (maybe a BODYPUMP record with 500+ instructors!) to the last of Jesper’s strawberry tequilas at the after-match function the Les Mills energy and passion were off the scale. ...

E ai mermao, beleza? Falou...meo portugues e meia boca!! Desculpa  Well, where do I start?

Canadians are just like Kiwis! Outdoorsey, down to earth and say 'Eh!' a helluva lot!!! Probably the main difference is they wear a lot more lululemon! We all know what a quarterly photo looks like so here we are at the Goodlife Awards after party with Patch and 'Sneaker' - the Goodlife mascot in the background.  This was my first time at ...

Launching Les Mills Northeast as a new regional distributor in the USA was a big deal and so was their first quarterly workshop at Poughkeepsie, where I was lucky enough to present.

The motto was FITNESS MAGIC and the gig went off, with plenty of ...

Just back from a fabulous tour of Switzerland and France where I lived the essence of cycling both indoors and out! Indoors, all the RPM classes at the quarterlies were full with stand by's and RPM 31 was rocking! It was my pleasure to teach with two great French trainers, Thomas (in the picture) and Fred. Outdoors, I did an incredible ...

Being part of Les Mills has lots of highlights but teaching at quarterly workshops has got to be high on the list. Which is why I’m soooooooo looking forward to hooking up with Alani and the US national trainers for three of the 2/2006 gigs in New York, Arizona and Washington next month. This will be my second trip to the Gold’s Gym in ...

Double congratulations to Bill Robertson and everybody at Les Mills Asia Pacific – First for reaching the tenth anniversary of Les Mills in Australia and surrounding markets and second for “The Ultimate Super Workshop” at the Filex convention in Sydney. More than 900 instructors turned it up at the Super Q. – with 500 of them rocking the house in ...

Well, after many years a few of us in this day and age resort to a little “nip ‘n’ tuck” - so Studio One has had his/hers? Studio One has undergone many upgrades over these years, but NONE come close to the one just completed. All the Les Mills “big guns” have had a huge input into the making of this amazing Group Fitness Room, and need a big ...
