Les Mills Live – The biggest festival of fitness heads to Melbourne in August 2022

Update: Tickets are A$64.95 for Les Mills Instructors and A$84.95 for non-Les Mills Instructors. Secure your spot: www.lesmills.com.au/live/melbourne.

Les Mills Instructors and class devotees across Australia and Southeast Asia will want to mark their calendar because LES MILLS LIVE – the ultimate international fitness festival – is heading to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 13th and 14th of August. The event promises incredible workouts with epic music, lights, energy and excitement. It’s also your chance to meet and work out with the world’s most inspiring Program Directors, Presenters and Instructors.

After two years of relentless lockdowns across Australia and Southeast Asia, LES MILLS LIVE Melbourne is confirmation the live revival has well and truly emerged. The Les Mills 2021 Global Fitness Report revealed that class attendances reached 120 per cent of pre-COVID levels across worldwide markets after restrictions lifted. This strong recovery by gyms across the globe has been reinforced by the trend of Instructors and members alike flocking back to group fitness as they celebrate the return to in-person exercise; which is why, LES MILLS LIVE Melbourne is expected to sell out.

Over two days, a thousand attendees will experience the brand new Q3 Releases across most Les Mills programs. This unforgettable event gives Instructors and LES MILLS+ subscribers the chance to enjoy the true essence of Les Mills programs, which lies in the unrivalled magic of a live experience. Plus, LES MILLS LIVE Melbourne is also a rare opportunity for attendees to meet some of their favourite Presenters and Program Directors from whom they’ve been working out with on-screen, including:

  • Dan Cohen (Program Director for BODYCOMBAT®)
  • Khiran Huston (Trainer/Presenter for LES MILLS SPRINT®, LES MILLS TONE®, THE TRIP®, RPM®, LES MILLS GRIT® and BODYPUMP®)
  • Vili Fifita (Les Mills Ambassador and Presenter for BODYCOMBAT and BODYPUMP)
  • Reagan Kang (Les Mills Ambassador, Trainer, Presenter for BODYCOMBAT, BODYPUMP and LES MILLS GRIT)
  • Bas Hollander (Education Director at Les Mills International, and Trainer for the Les Mills GRIT Series, LES MILLS SPRINT®, LES MILLS THE TRIP® and LES MILLS TONE®)
  • Dee Rowell (Les Mills Ambassador, Trainer and Presenter for RPM®, LES MILLS SPRINT, BODYSTEP® and LES MILLS TONE)
  • Bevan James Eyles (BODYATTACK® Presenter).

So, if you’re ready to enjoy an unforgettable fitness experience that is much like a rock concert experience mixed with your favourite high energy workouts and Presenters, and shared with a thousand friends and fans, then mark your diary because tickets go on sale in June.

LES MILLS LIVE Melbourne is set to be the group fitness event of the year, so to ensure you never miss a beat in the lead up to when registrations open, visit www.lesmills.com.au/live/melbourne and subscribe to receive priority notifications.

Gyms… poised for disruption?

I often entertain the thought of industry disruption. Who will be next?

A daunting thought, but having seen what has happened to the taxi industry and reading Grab Car co-founder’s LinkedIn post on how their 5-year old startup celebrated their 1 billionth ride across Southeast Asia – there’s plenty of food for thought in what lies ahead for other industries. The question is, which one?

I joined a gym back in the day. I felt my life changed when I signed on. I was a bunny during the first three months, patted myself on the back for using what I had paid three times a week. As the months dwindled with auto-debit dues in force, here was a subscription for a useful use of bathrooms to shower in between work and dinner outings. My main issue with the gym membership was one of human relationships. I didn’t feel I belonged and it wasn’t my fit. But that was personal. And like a bad relationship you yearn to get out of, I bode time.

Are health clubs and gyms a thing of the past?

In short, I’d say NO – but only if, only if there’s a major disruption to the industry. I keenly observe the Aussie/NZ fitness industry as it has been quite revolutionary, and inspirational. In fact, so inspirational that it’s sent ripples across the seas towards SEA as many Aussie fitness entrepreneurs have ventured towards the Asia side of the Pacific to expand their brands network. A few names to boot; Lorna Jane, Boost Juice, Dave Nuku of Fire Station & Michelle Bridges (Biggest Loser), F45, Bianca Cheah of Sporteluxe (funny that we’re distantly related!!), etc.

Running events have mushroomed!

Fitness in Asia is fast catching up too, and the landscape is so different from just 2 years ago; evident in the increase in the number of health, fitness & sporting events across the region; from community events, fundraisers e.g. MERCY International Humanitarian Run which we created and organised, to sponsored events like Standard Chartered Marathon Races, OCBC Cycle Race, The AIA Music Run, Reebok Spartan, Ironman – they’re all in the region.

One would think – hey, won’t these people who sign up for these runs and events need more training, hence head to the gym more? Truth is, people are moving out of gyms and into parks, workplace workouts and fitness events. Zumba after work is a norm now. It’s no wonder startups like Classpass, Guavapass or KFit have started disrupting the big gym brands. Consumers have more choice, and get a better deal – so why not support a smaller but personal establishment?

I worked on a PR campaign for a big gym franchise 9 years ago and that was eye opening. I had ideas then, but they didn’t fly. They seem to be flying now.
