Has the essence of STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT changed?
The essence remains; this boxset is still the same STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT you know and love.
Why have we created new LES MILLS STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT releases?
LES MILLS STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT was the first of our new collection of workouts released as a one-off boxset. These releases quickly proved to be sustainable and popular and are now on the timetables of over 1000 clubs, with over 3,500 instructors. Given the ongoing popularity, we wanted to ensure Clubs and Instructors had fresh, up-to-date material they could teach – so we’ve released three all new LES MILLS STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT workouts.
Can we expect new releases of other programs (like PILATES)?
We’re planning to launch more releases of popular workouts in 2025. You can expect an update on this later this year. .
When will the new releases be available on LES MILLS+?
All new LES MILLS STRENGTH DEVELOLPMENT releases will be available on LES MILLS+ from Monday 4th August 2025.
Do you need different equipment for the new releases of LES MILLS STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT?
You will see the same equipment as in the first twelve releases – SMARTBAR, SMARTBAR WEIGHT PLATES, and SMARTSTEP.
Why are there only three releases in this boxset?
These three releases continue the format and style of the original Strength Development boxset and give new material to be taught for the rest of 2025. In the meantime we are looking at how we evolve our Strength programming for 2026 to keep up with demand for this program and category.
