Les Mills Virtual are high quality exercise videos of some of the most popular Les Mills programs. These videos run in each of our group exercise studios when we don’t have live, in-person instructor led classes already scheduled. This means that nearly every hour we’re open, in every studio across all three locations, classes now take place. These pre-programmed classes start automatically; at the scheduled time the video kicks in and the class begins.
