Whether you’re a regular at group exercise classes or a complete beginner, Les Mills virtual group exercise classes are ideal for you. They’re perfect if you want to try a number of different classes, with each one usually lasting between half an hour and an hour. They’re led – via the big screen – by Les Mills’ very own instructors – the very people who choreographed the class. They take you through each workout, while the music and lights help you feel immersed in the experience.
What are Les Mills Virtual Group Exercise Classes?
Les Mills virtual group exercise classes are almost identical to the standard versions, except for one key difference. There’s no instructor in the room. Instead, classes are delivered by one of Les Mills’ world-class instructors on a big screen. These are the very people who came up with the programmes in the first place, so you know you’re getting the very best instruction you possibly could.
Benefits of Les Mills Virtual Group Exercise Classes
Virtual group exercise classes have all the same benefits as live classes, but with some additional bonuses too:
-
Led by world-beating Les Mills instructors
To get the most from your classes, you need to be taught by the best and that’s what virtual classes give you. They’re delivered by one of Les Mills’ own instructors on the big screens, meaning you get the best instruction possible. This means you’ll get more from each class and will be more likely to reach your goals.
-
More flexibility in when the classes can be scheduled
As there doesn’t need to be an instructor present, we can schedule more of these classes more flexibly. As a result, there’s a much greater chance it’ll be on when you can attend.
-
Greater number of classes each week
Another advantage of the video instructor is that we can put more of each class on each week. This gives you more chance to attend the classes you want to.
-
Gives you the opportunity to try a class out before giving the live one a go
Going into a new live class with an instructor present can be intimidating. Not so with a virtual group exercise class. There’s no instructor at all and the class sizes are smaller, too, making for a friendlier, less claustrophobic atmosphere.
-
Use of professional equipment
By attending a virtual group exercise class rather than working out at home, you get to make use of the very latest and best kit available. This includes items such as weights and cycling machines.
-
Motivational atmosphere
Classes take place in purpose-built studios with pumping music and motivating instructors. This helps you keep going and makes you more likely to reach your targets. The social nature of the group format also helps motivate you and keep you coming back.
