LES MILLS SHAPES

They will be visible on December 6, 2024 in most markets (and on December 16, 2024 in the USA).

When we first launched LES MILLS SHAPES there were six releases 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 during the coming high season – so we’ve released a further six LES MILLS SHAPES workouts.

We’re planning to launch more releases of popular collections in 2025. You can expect an update on this early next year.

Keep an eye out for the next drop of LES MILLS SHAPES on LES MILLS+ from mid 2025.

Innovative yet familiar, the new releases offer some new twists on the classic LES MILLS SHAPES. Here are some of the key changes:

• Abdominal preparation instead of mobility: The workouts start with abdominal preparation after spinal alignment and breath to enhance strength building.
• Intensifiers and autonomy: There are more options for using bands across workouts; band use is optional for participant flexibility.
• Fresh feel and vibe for the yogalates block: High energy drum and base beats provide a refreshed feel.
• Integrated upper body work: Upper body exercises are woven throughout workouts instead of being standalone, which promotes a cohesive flow.
• Variety in workouts: Each of the six new workouts feels distinct while maintaining core foundations of the program.

You will see the same equipment as in the first six releases – lightweight plates, sliders and the LES MILLS Sculpt Band (there are more opportunities to use the band in the new releases!)

Yes! The new education videos will be available for everyone who has existing LES MILLS SHAPES releases. These videos will be added to the Learn tab on the Releases app.

The new releases can be done in any order. If LES MILLS SHAPES is brand new to your members, we recommend starting with the earlier releases in order, as they increase in complexity as they go. If your members are comfortable with the program, feel free to run all twelve releases in any order.

There is no expectation to purchase the new releases of LES MILLS SHAPES. You can continue to teach the first six releases of LES MILLS SHAPES to your members at no extra cost.

Absolutely! You can teach all twelve releases in whatever order you like.

Instructors will be able to purchase the new releases via the Releases App from December 6, 2024. As soon as your Instructors have the releases they can start offering them at your club.

No, once your Instructors have purchased the next releases via the Instructor Portal, they can start teaching on your timetable!

No, each release is designed to be delivered as a full workout. This will ensure the workout duration is correct, and that we don’t overload certain muscle groups.

Absolutely. This can be determined by how you and your GFM/Club wants the timetable to run, and any learnings from offering the first releases of LES MILLS SHAPES workouts.
