Les Mills has taken Pilates, that century-old classic, and given it a modern-day remix with a dash of rhythm and a pinch of science.
The result? LES MILLS PILATES: a workout designed to make you feel better, move better, and just be better, regardless of where you are on the fitness spectrum.
So, whether you’re the kind who winces at the sight of a dumbbell or the type who hits the gym like it’s a second home, LES MILLS PILATES has a spot for you.
Now, here’s the full SP: Pilates has been taking the fitness world by storm this year. Mindbody reported it’s the most popular workout of 2023, with searches for Pilates shooting up 71% in the past year. Safe to say, everyone wants in on the action.
But as ever with Les Mills in the mix this isn’t your average Pilates session. This program mixes those slow, controlled Pilates moves with music that feels just right and has the science to back it up. Think full-body strength, better flexibility, and that elusive well-being boost we could all use more of.
In a recent study from the University of the Fraser Valley (Canada), participants reported a 61% increase in core endurance and a 13% uptick in flexibility after just eight weeks of LES MILLS PILATES.
And here’s the kicker: almost all of them reported feeling generally better—less like a pretzel, more like a person.
So if you’re looking to turn back the hands of time or just want to feel stronger and more balanced, this could be your ticket.
Here’s what you’re in for: LES MILLS PILATES is split into six 45-minute workouts, each divided into eight tracks. This isn’t about churning through crunches but about working your whole body with a focus on breath, alignment, and control.
As LES MILLS PILATES co-creator Summer Bradley puts it, ““The programme pays homage to Joseph Pilates, blending the best of old with the best of new as we add unique music, beautiful choreography and supportive coaching to offer members an unforgettable experience.
Anyone who wants to move better and feel better will love this workout. It’s a particularly good complement for strength training or high-impact training.
There are lots of different options and progressions, so people of all abilities can feel confident and enjoy the benefits.”
It’s also designed to work alongside strength or high-impact training. Modifications? You bet. LES MILLS PILATES can be as gentle or intense as you need it to be—so whether you’re in recovery, new to exercise, or just need a change from pounding the pavement, there’s a version for you.
After rigorous testing in some of the world’s best gyms, this workout is now available in gyms, leisure centres, and, of course, Les Mills On Demand for anyone who prefers to get their Pilates fix at home.
So if you’re ready to see what LES MILLS PILATES can do, it’s time to jump in. Accessible, inclusive, and backed by science, it’s Pilates like you’ve never seen before.
