Club partners are able to film their own Instructors teaching livestream workouts (using royalty free music for the relevant release supplied by Les Mills, and without tracks being mixed and matched) and then store and host these on their own platform to build a video on demand (VOD) library.

Instructor Questions

Why can’t I build my own LES MILLS Recorded Livestream library?

As with live classes, LES MILLS Recorded Livestream needs to be done with a licensed club. LES MILLS Recorded Livestream is specifically available to club partners licensed for live programs and who have a LES MILLS Content partnership. The music used is slightly different and there are different choreography in some tracks so these are not totally the same releases as you teach. They will not be taught in a live format.

How do I get involved with my club’s LES MILLS Recorded Livestream?

Speak directly to your club about getting involved with their LES MILLS Recorded Livestream plans.

What are the benefits to Instructors?

We know that Instructors provide the ultimate motivation and connection to clubs’ members. LES MILLS Recorded Livestream enables clubs own Instructors to feature in their video on demand playlist. This will provide teaching opportunities for Instructors during the filming process. Ongoing, members will stay connected to their favourite Instructors and once clubs are open will join live classes and other livestream workouts.

What options do I have to livestream?

With your club, Instructors can livestream Les Mills workouts in 2 ways:

  • Livestream: Les Mills Instructors can livestream their club’s regular Les Mills workouts to members through club’s closed platforms / in Club app in accordance with the Livestream terms and conditions.
  • LES MILLS Recorded Livestream: Clubs who have a LES MILLS Content partnership are able to film their own Instructors teaching specific livestream workouts and then store and host these on their own closed platform to build a video on demand (VOD) library for members. Only the LES MILLS Recorded Livestream workouts using royalty free music can be stored.

Livestreaming via your club allows you to teach the latest releases, use original music (if permitted under local music licensing bodies guidelines) and keep members connected to your clubs during lockdown. However, if you've done everything you can and your club isn’t yet set up to livestream, there is a small collection of workouts that will be available on YouTube during lockdown for Instructors to teach on their own channels.
