The partnering Club will then manage the control and distribution of materials to the Instructors who will be filmed for their LES MILLS Recorded Livestream library.

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 favorite 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:
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.
