ACCELERATE WITH NEW
PARTNERSHIP OPTIONS

It is great to see clubs re-opening and members coming back through the doors. However, we appreciate that social distancing restrictions are making things harder and impacting facilities getting back up to full strength. We also know that fears of second waves or local lockdowns are causing uncertainty.

Therefore, we have invested in 3 extra partnership support options to enable you to broaden your timetable, reach more of your members and get your Instructors back to teaching.

These offers are only available for a limited time therefore to take advantage of any of these partnership options, contact us at lmuk.clubs@lesmills.com and we'll be in touch.

ADDITIONAL VENUE

With social distancing in place you may be finding it hard to run classes at full capacity. For 3 months you can now hold your current Les Mills programmes at an additional community venue (e.g. a community hall or school) in order to offer larger classes and broaden your timetable.

Details:

  • You need to have a partnership for these programmes in your main facility
  • The additional venue should feature as an extension of your timetable

Have you wanted to trial an additional Les Mills programme in your gym before? Now you can launch one additional programme to your partnership, at no additional cost, for 6 months.

For all partnership options, you must have a certified, active Instructor to teach these classes and must arrange all relevant public performance/communications licences, insurance, and health & safety procedures.
