LES MILLS On Demand Reviews

I’ve been really into fitness since my son was born 9 years ago, but like many I have weaves in and out of so many different things to do for exercise and I believe it’s manly due to not finding that ONE. I have been a BeachBodyCoach coach since 2012 and I remember LesMills, but never got a chance to try it before they branched out with Reebok. I finally was sitting at my computer one day, couple weeks ago, haven gained 20+ lbs since I started a desk job 3 years ago, just hoping to see something jump out at me, willing to pay whatever, and I started thinking back when I used to take kickboxing classes eons ago, and remembered LesMills Combat was like that. So I looked it up and saw there was a 10 day FREE trial that I could use a few times and see if it’s something that would keep me walking back into my gym each day....HOLY COW!! Sweat my heart out the first day and had something come out of me I didn’t know I was holding in...bought the monthly subscription and the rest is to be written in my future! I LOVE LesMills workouts! FYI they are CONSTANTLY uploading new content, so I don’t think I’ll every get tired of any of these workouts! Thank you to Rach, one of the instructors, who is so easy to follow and listen to a like! (Besides the fact that we have the same name 😉) I aspire to have her strength and exuberance in my like again like I did years ago!! 💙🙏🏼

I have always enjoyed Les Mills classes and loved body combat and body flow especially. The gym I went to offered these classes less and less over the years. Body pump is everywhere but my two favorites were harder to find. I canceled my gym membership recently as I have equipment at home and the classes were hard to make it to regularly. I stumbled across LESMILLSOnDemand while searching the internet. I was finding it hard to motivate myself to hop on the treadmill and do the same thing over and over. I missed the variety classes offer. THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED! I get the classes I love, the variety I need, and the convenience of doing it whenever I want. I’m even using my stationary bike again! I love spinning classes... but spinning with an instructor and spinning by yourself aren’t the same. My bike was collecting dust. It’s also nice that they have full classes or short ones depending on your time. Well worth the monthly fee! So glad I found LESMILLSOnDemand!!!!

My only negative comment is the same thing other people have mentioned. LESMILLSOnDemand is kind of weird to navigate... which I think hides some of the amazing content on LESMILLSOnDemand .

I recently started a 30 day free trial of Les Mills On Demand. So far I really like it. The workouts have an energy that make them go by fast. I am not hard core into working out, and I am definitely not someone who loves working out. But, there is something about the workouts with Les Mills that make the time fly. Maybe it is the music, the way the videos are put together, or the workouts themselves. I don’t know. But, I am enjoying them and I think I will be keeping the subscription as an added option for my daily workouts. They are similar to Beachbody, but yet way different. Maybe I need to learn LESMILLSOnDemand more, but I do find searching for workouts that work a specific part of your body hard to find. I like to do different things each day; cardio one day, upper body the next, lower body the next day, etc. But it seems the workouts focused on different body parts is more limited, especially when looking for workouts that are 30min or less. Many of us don’t have the time or desire to workout more than that each day. So more workouts in the 25 minute range and making it easier to find workouts for upper body, lower body, etc easier would make this program even better. Overall, I think this is a great program with some great workouts that get you sweating.

Love LesMills OD and LESMILLSOnDemand is fantastic from a user experience and performance perspective. I gave 3 stars because we need one more feature that would make it less daunting to find workouts (there are so many types and episodes to choose from) and easier to get yourself on a schedule. I’d love the ability to “schedule” workouts for a specific date - in LESMILLSOnDemand - so I can plan a weekly calendar view. It would be nice to be able to add specific workouts to a date, where in that day I can just click on it and workout and it have to search for it. Sith so many to choose from, being able to see a history of what I’ve completed and when would be super helpful. I posted this idea in the FB group and received a bunch of DMs supporting it.

LesMills posts workout plans on the LesMills site and FB files area you can download and print. This isn’t feasible or practical for many of us who travel and want/need things to be mobile with us. It would be awesome to be able to “join” those in LESMILLSOnDemand and add the workouts to a calendar in LESMILLSOnDemand associated with my LesMills account.

I have a treadmill with IFit coach and they’ve definitely mastered the idea of scheduling their on demand workouts to your personal workout calendar or joining a series of planned workouts. You may want to check out what they’re doing.

I have had LESMILLSOnDemand for about 3 years. I could sit here and write about the great things it offers: 1. You can access the workout on your phone, iPad, fire stick, Apple TV, cast the workout on your tv from your tablet and start your routine. There is a workout for every single person out there. You can lift weights with BOdyPump, you can do kickboxing with BOdyCombat (my all time favorite), you can do HIIT style workouts with GRIT (be warned...you will question your sanity because there are challenging and you will be left feeling exhausted, out of breath but with a powerful feeling of not giving up. There is Sh’bam if you like to dance and let go. There is yoga BodyFlow with great sequences. The TRip and RPM use indoor bicycles. There is a great community on FB sharing their goals while completing workouts. There are new workouts added every month, workout guides with rest days, how-to videos showing the exercises. LES MILLS is a well rounded company and if you download LESMILLSOnDemand , press play and give it your all...you are going to be closer to hitting your goals, feeling better, moving your body and having a lot of fun at the end.

Love that we’ve had the ability to not lose track of our exercise lifestyle due to the pandemic and required lockdowns. Our gym has just started offering classes again this week (very excited about this), but I noticed I also incorporated a few classes at home in addition to the gym. I would have never done this before! I have definitely come out of this stronger and fitter because of this platform.
>A few suggestions that would push this to a 5 star rating would be:
• make available old releases. Even just for limited time frames would be great. For those of us that have been doing this for years it’s always great to go back and do the releases we learned on. Everyone loves a good trip down memory lane every now and again.
• the ability to download classes across all viewing platforms, not just mobile devices. Sometimes internet is not optimal and nothing is more frustrating then being in the middle of your workout and the feed freezes or just stops all together.
• add air conditioning to my garage gym space. A girl can dream, right? Seriously though, NC summers are brutal and seem to never end. Hurry Fall!

This program has given me the option to attend a variety of fitness classes in my own home and tailor to my own schedule. The rest has been up to me. At age 53 I am progressing, learning new classes and at a level of fitness I thought I could never get back. Loving Les Mills on Demand’s great workouts. I like the variety find this to be a perfect option for me at this point in my life. I appreciate the modifications given with all exercises programs. The motivation the instructor bring to each class consistently is something I personally admire. It is not rehearsed it comes from the heart ❤️. They are doing what they love to do and it shows. Thank you Les Mills on Demand for keeping this program simple to use. Having Variety to offer all levels of fitness and finding motivating instructors who love what they do to help anyone though regaining the level of fitness They are comfortable with. You have created something wonderful and you kept it simple. For me that is all I needed to restart my fitness journey.😇 Sincerely, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Lisa 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’ve used LM on demand for about a year. I can say it is great and the workout subscription / app that I enjoyed the most amongst many that I have tried.
I like that you can join 12 week long programs with different amount of weekly workouts and with either equipment or just body weight if you have no equipment at home.
I few with apple fitness plus at $9.99/month they’ll probably have to adjust the price a little once apple fitness plus gets improved over time , but other than that I feel the music, the workouts, the structure on the 12 week programs and the trainers are all of great quality and I really enjoy it.
I also appreciate the fact that you can download your workouts for offline if you’re traveling or spending a weekend somewhere with poor connection, and the fact that when you choose a program you can have all the workouts included in that program added to your list so it is easier to get to the workout you have to complete that day.
Keep it up folks!

I have worked out with Les Mills first at my local gym and then with LESMILLSOnDemand . I prefer having a home gym so when covid hit I did not miss a beat. Truly there is a program for everyone and they all come with their own playlist. Personally I am a body combat/body pump/attack/grit girl. I love that I can turn on a workout get my behind kicked and enjoy every minute of it. I suffered an injury and have now been cleared to workout again. If you never have experienced a Les Mills workout try one of the basics. I started back with one of those and the instruction really has helped me rebuild my strength, energy and stamina. I am giving them 4 stars because I wish they had rowing classes. Never could quite get use to a stationary bike. Always felt like a mouse on a wheel. For variety, trainers who know their programs and how to teach you to push past your comfort zone and build the body you want with music that moves you and NO SALES PITCHES AT All. This is LESMILLSOnDemand you want. I do not belong to a gym. This program is less than my local gym charges with mote options. Try it for yourself!

I started LesMills about 10 years ago in a gym. I fell in love with the exercise programs because I was new to the gym and going into class was an amazing experience. Like most people I started out by using the cardio equipment because it was easy and I knew what to do. However 5 minutes on the treadmill seemed like an eternity. When I went into my first class it was a cycling class and there was great music and an instructor helping you before class telling you a little about what you would be doing in class. Then class was over and it seemed like it had only been 5 minutes but really it was an hour. Then I was hooked, I tried BodyPump then BodyCombat. I loved them all! Then I moved and there wasn’t a class around. I turned to Beach Body because they had LesMills programs for home. I bought BodyCombat and then they came out with LesMills on demand and I have been subscribed since. I love LesMills and I will be doing their programs for the rest of my life! I may eventually become an instructor but until then I will just enjoy the programs like I have.

When I used to go the gym I loved their RPM class! However, I was always scared to do their other classes afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep up. Doing this at home has helped so much. When I don’t feel motivated, I literally sit on my couch, play a video and seeing their enthusiasm makes me get up, change into my workout clothes and get started. Although I’m not in shape, I know I will get there soon. Their Facebook support group is fantastic and inspiring. The ease of use is another thing I love and being able to screen it from my phone to my tv was thankfully easy to do. I’ve tried other workout videos/apps and this is by far the most motivating app. I love how they all take turns teaching a segment. I don’t normally leave reviews, but I can see how hard they work to keep it engaging. They don’t try to force you to buy their equipment either, however, I’d like to eventually get it. Thanks so much for all you do, to motivate us to be healthy in a fun and stress-free way!

With all the angst 2020 had in store for us, I think the biggest cause for concern, at least for myself, was when the gyms shut down. I’ve was an avid Les Mills participant in several programs so when I heard about On Demand, that was the immediate solution to my dilemma. Right from the beginning it was fantastic! The instructors are all great and the ability to adapt each program to your own individual fitness level gets an A+ from me. To be able to get up in the wee hours of the morning and just go downstairs to my own little fitness area and get a top-notch workout from some of the world’s best instructors is well worth the investment. I encourage anyone who is serious about a life-changing approach to staying fit and healthy to give Les Mills a try. I promise you will not be disappointed. There are so many programs/classes to choose from with options available in every class to meet every fitness level. Absolutely a game changer!

LESMILLSOnDemand is really a great asset for those that don’t have time for, like, or don’t know what to do at the gym. The programming provides much variety from Barre (the weakest program) to GRIT (HIIT) with everything in between. There is enough programming currently uploaded to last you probably half a year doing a different workout everyday. I would suggest that LMOD add more videos on alignment and make more effort to make sure their presenters also use correct body alignment. LMOD also has an online community, contests, workout programs for various goals with corresponding workout to do. These elements are nice. It would be nice if these could be included in LESMILLSOnDemand some how. I think the pricing is good. It’s to bad they don’t offer professional discounts to instructors maybe that could really help their brand presence in USA something I believe they have struggled with but maybe it’s because of the business model of subscriptions. One last improvement would be the ability to be able to design your own workout with amount of time available and parts of body to work.

I moved to a small town in East Texas from Denver, CO after having lost 197 pounds. Much of my continued success was when I was able to go to the Les Mills classes - much of which the instructors were great at helping me modify and be at the level I needed at that time. Three years later, with no access to the Les Mills classes, I found myself having gained 50 pounds! No excuses, but once I heard about Les Mills On Demand - I now have opportunity to once again push myself and plan to have a good portion of the unwanted weight OFF by end of the summer! Thank you Les Mills and all the instructors! Especially the ones who encourage doing what you can!

Update: I now have lost all the weight I put on when I moved here. Thank you to the Les Mills’ team! I especially love Rachel, Dan and their team from Body Combat and Glen with his teams from RPM and Body Pump! So inspirational, instructive and just fun! It’s not easy to stay motivated by yourself, but they have become ‘family’! You guys ROCK!

Great program. I love the classes and instructors. They teach you details about each exercise to feel it in the right muscles, keeping it safe and effective. Love the workout schedules and the flexibility of doing the exercise in my home on my schedule. Many workouts of all levels do not require equipment although if you have or can obtain weights/ barbell you’ll be able to do body pump, probably their key workout. I’m thinking if getting a home cycle too!

LESMILLSOnDemand is great on iPhone. On Roku it’s been glitching up usually once a workout—just takes a couple clicks to get it restarted. Annoying—I need to contact customer support. I don’t think it’s due to a bandwidth problem in my house. On a laptop it wants you to sign in through your email, I assume so you don’t share your password with your whole friend group;). That’s also a tad annoying. But worth it for the great exercise program, well known the world over!

I’m a huge les mills fan and loyal follower. I’ve been doing body pump 3 times a week since 2006, love the workout and highly recommend it. Since the pandemic I transitioned to doing pump at home, and I have a few suggested improvements for LESMILLSOnDemand . The first is that even as a seasoned pumper, I sometimes need visual cues from the instructor to catch on to the next move. This is often impossible because the workout videos use lots of wide angle and artistic shots so I can’t see what the instructor is doing! If I was just starting out it would be incredibly frustrating. Just show “boring” front and side angle shots so we can focus on the workout. I’m also missing the rewind or fast forward 15 seconds button that most workout apps have. And I’d like to see a workout history, where it shows which workouts I’ve completed so I can choose favorites or try new ones depending on my mood! Overall highly recommend but a few minor improvements to LESMILLSOnDemand would make a five star experience!

Thank you for making constant changes that make Les Mills On Demand better. I am a 52 year old woman who thought exercise would eventually become difficult to do. Being held prisoner to a gym class schedule is no longer an issue. Les Mills On Demand has so many options as to type of class and duration with the addition of shorter workouts I really have no excuse not to exercise. Even if I workout for 15 minutes one day when short on time or several short workouts combined together or at different times during the day. I didn’t even realize the effect it was having on my body until I posted a vacation picture of me in a bikini and the response I got from friends. Several friends wanted to know what I do as an exercise routine and I have shared Les Mills On Demand with them. So keep doing whAt you are doing. Keep adding the short workout and the workout schedules as well as the monthly challenges. I am hooked!

When the shut down began a year ago I was heart broken about losing my body pump and cycle classes at the gym. Then I remembered from following Les Mills people on Instagram they had a streaming service. So I downloaded LESMILLSOnDemand and panicked shopped for weights while everyone was scooping up toilet paper and here we are a year later. I have fallen in love with the other programs they offer, I love the instructors, and I love the freedom to do the work outs that I enjoy the most on my own personal schedule. I haven’t returned to the gym because I’m so happy doing this. I just take cycle classes at a local cycle bar because I still don’t own a spin bike. But trust me. This program is great. I am in the best shape of my life during this pandemic. I have joined the Facebook LMOD group and it’s so great to read and be motivated by everyone across the world going through this journey with me. I absolutely recommend 1000%

I have done Les Mills for around 13 yrs, starting with classes at my local gym. I had switched to LM On Demand a few years ago bc I love the option of having ALL the LM options at my fingertips at home. Since Covid isolation yes LM has enabled me to keep physically fit at home while staying safely distanced, but more importantly the energy of the amazing Instructors makes you feel socially ‘connected’ and like you’re in a class. The mental, mind, body, soul, breathing of BodyFlow truly has an emotional well being factor than cannot be over emphasized during these stressful times. I would recommend LM for ANY level of fitness—there’s something for EVERYONE! LESMILLSOnDemand is great! ONLY critiques I hv is I wish I could hv a way to mark favorites within my library and also, sometimes the stage/bright lighting behind the instructors overwhelms and makes it difficult to see their specific body technique which is important. Other than that, AMAZING company!

LMOD has been my saving grace throughout this past year. I had done BP for years at a local gym. I then changed gyms to Chelsea Piers, but they did not have BP. Even though their classes were great and challenging, they weren’t LM. When the pandemic began, my daughter shared her virtual LMOD with me. After doing it for 3 months, I took out my own membership. I love it. I have done so many of the various challenges, have joined the online fb groups, and every single day I look forward to choosing which challenging fun workout I want to do. Even though I miss the socialization of the gym, I couldn’t be happier with everything LM has offered. It constantly brings new workout programs in all the different categories, and is always challenging with great music, positivity and smiles. I told my husband that when we make our return trip to NZ I want to experience LM live. Thank you for all that you do to keep us loving our workouts!

I have been using Les Mills on Demand for about 5 months now. I was using another on Demand service that kept creating short 20-30 minutes workout programs and didn’t have enough content that I liked. I love that Les Mills has full length 55 minute workouts but edits them to make shorter workouts for the people that don’t want to spend as much time working out. I love doing BodyPump, CXWORX (Core) and Barre for strength training. I do Sprint, Grit Athletic and Grit Strength for HIIT. I do BodyStep and BodyCombat for cardio. I do BodyFlow for flexibility training. I have so much variety in my schedule now. Now I get to work on strength, core strength, endurance and flexibility. When I was using the other On Demand service, it seemed like the workout programs were always unbalanced with too much of one thing. I feel like I am finally making progress and I am working on all aspects of fitness that is important to me while actually having fun!

As a new, first time Mom my life was experiencing its biggest transition ever. I desperately yearned to exercise as it’s always been grounding for me but it was impossible to find the time and far more expensive to get a gym membership that included childcare (not to mention the age restrictions to use their kids room). I had to do something! Enter Les Mills On Demand- the perfect solution. Super high quality workouts, Tons of variety both in class type and the length, crazy affordable and all my favorite classes now right there on my phone, whenever it’s convenient for me!!! It was easy to squeeze in a little workout here or there while the baby slept plus moving, strengthening and stretching really helped my body recovering after having that sweet baby. I lost the baby weight (and more! Hooray!) and now converting all my friends and family to the ways of LMOD. Saved. My. Life.

I was a member at a gym that had Les Mills programs. I fell in love with group fitness and lost over 40 pounds in a few months. I then moved into the country where the gyms would take a 30-45 minute drive. With two kids, that extra time does not work with my schedule so I started LMOD. It is amazing! I get to participate in the same programs I fell in love with plus more that my gym didn’t have. Most programs don’t need any equipment and the ones that do, I slowly added to my home gym. With the amazing instructors and Facebook group, you still get the supportive feeling that group fitness offers! My sister also lives nearby and does LMOD. We text after each workout and push each other! Amazing app! Never had any tech difficulties! You definitely get a lot for your subscription! No matter my mood or need, I can find a workout that fits!

I am a certified Les Mills BODYPUMP instructor. I got diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer in 2018. During surgery I had a higher than usual number of lymph nodes removed. This prevents me from being able to do any exercises overhead ever again! It’s pretty impossible to teach any BODYPUMP release without overhead moves! Thanks to Les Mills On Demand, I’m able to do ALL the classes that I love at home without distracting a live class by modifying overhead moves with other Les Mills approved movements!! (I still go to live classes sometimes though and hide out in the back row!!). I lost a lot of stamina and endurance during my year long treatment. I loved having the shorter class options when I was cleared to exercise again! I’m now back to taking entire 55 minute classes! I love them all!! The only thing I don’t have is a spin bike but it’s on my wish list!!

I’m a fitness but and moreover live Les Mills. Moving from The NL to Boston I searched for a gym with the Les Mills classes and the same class availability. I found a great gym in Cambridge but I was used to going twice a day. Making a long story short, I trialed LM on demand am am so loving it. I can do one work out in the morning in my gym and do a class or two in the evening at my gym. My world opened up so much having access to all the different types. The instructors are just amazing, love the cuing, the options and general positive words and pushing that they give verbally. I literally would be the best spokesperson for LM. Keep up the good work, and variety.
I do like the week plans but I’m hard core and need something more. Some personal training advice would be a great addition.

Cheers

Love the Les Mills app, the workouts are fun a do different. The instructors are really good and fun, I feel like I’m really in the class with them and they are so motivating. I love the cycle class for stationary bikes, I burned so many calories in a short time. The music in all the workouts are all fun and make you want to sing along. I never get bored because I have so many options. Core, body attack, body pump, step, Sh’bam, I love that they have anywhere from 15 minute workouts to 55min ones. The sound is perfect, great music but you can still here the instructors! It’s exactly the same as going to their classes! I love that I can travel with it and do the workouts in my hotel room! It’s really been the best and motivating home workout option for me.

The good:
I am a huge fan of Les Mills gym classes and when I found them On Demand, I signed up immediately. I no longer have to pay for a gym membership and personal training and I have no excuse not to work out. But I don’t even think that way. I look forward to taking all the classes. I love the tutorials and beginners classes to ensure my form is proper. I’m even learning to dance from their dance classes. The Body Pump class is my absolute favorite and is the original reason I became a Les Mills lover. I get excited to see all the new classes that come out each month. The emails that they send motivate me and I am grateful for them as well. Sign up and buy the equipment if you have not done so yet.

The disappointing:
When I placed my order with Les Mills for all their equipment on Cyber Monday this past year, I contacted their customer service to let them know that they charged me the wrong price and they never resolved the issue. It was not a lot of money and I love the company and the product so much that I did not let it get me down. What that experience did was disappoint me and see an area that the company needs to work on improving.

All in all, thumbs up. Les Mills is a part of my everyday and I would never cancel having Les Mills On Demand.

I really like the variety of classes. It allows me to change things up. I would be interested in purchasing the body pump/ grit equipment in order to try some of those workouts, however, they are quite pricey and after purchasing the yearly subscription it’s a lot. Would you consider some kind of discount for those who have purchased the subscription?

In all honesty I’m not a gym person. Never have been. But the one advantage to going to the gym is that the equipment is included with your membership. If you want people to continue buying your streaming service giving a discount on equipment might be something to consider. As well as a payment plan. The price is the only thing holding me back from purchasing the equipment and giving a 5 star rating.
