At Les Mills, unlocking and amplifying that inner drive to achieve our goals is something we’re not shy to say we’re great at. While the Les Mills gyms that you know and love to smash it out here in New Zealand, our hustle is taking Les Mills group fitness classes to the world.

Today, Les Mills International programs are in 20,000 gyms in over 100 countries, and we have over 100,000 Les Mills instructors – pair that with the boom of our digital subscription service LES MILLS (like Netflix for our workouts), and it’s an exciting time to be a part of our global company. Our mission is simple – to create a fitter planet.

Our name really sums up what this team is all about: people, culture... and doing all we can to have the very best of both. You don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to fit in here, but you can make a workout part of your workday. If you want to continue your professional career in sandals or your gym gear, Les Mills International could be the place for you.
