Les Mills unleashes new world-class gym in Auckland transport hub

New Zealand’s largest and most awarded gym chain, Les Mills wants city workers to unleash themselves at a brand-spanking new gym in the heart of Auckland’s hottest transport centre, Britomart.

With doors opening in April 2011, Les Mills Britomart will be a multi-million dollar fitness complex on a specially designed 2,200 square metre site. Over $1 million will be invested in a stunning light and sound system that will give an ‘exer-tainment’ experience like no other.

Around 90 jobs will be created to support members at the new gym, with opportunities for fitness instructors, personal trainers, support and reception staff.

As creator of the world’s best group fitness classes - including Les Mills BODYPUMP®, the most popular group fitness programme in the world -  Les Mills Britomart will offer a range of class options for members. These will include sharp lunchtime work-outs, alongside an array of pre-work and post-work classes, which are all held in inspiring studio spaces.

Over 90 pieces of cardio equipment will have individually controlled full-screen entertainment and MP3 player connectivity, while five super-size AV screens will display SKY Television. Other services include free internet access, a members’ coffee bar, sauna, and lavish locker rooms of Italian tile with hair dryers, straighteners and ironing facilities.

The best fitness equipment from the world’s best brands, along with the support from Les Mills’ army of personal trainers and group fitness instructors will have Auckland’s downtown workforce seeing results in no time.

Carrie Kepple, Manager of the new Les Mills Britomart says, “We are excited to bring Les Mills’ passion for fun and fitness to a site that is so accessible to Aucklanders. We are gearing up to be the city’s morning wake-up call, evening wind-down and midday break.”

“We know that city workers will really enjoy the social atmosphere we foster at Les Mills, particularly our unique TEAM TRAININGTM programmes that allow them to get fit with a group of work-mates.”

New Zealand’s largest gym chain, with close to 50,000 members nationwide will also be investing further in the New Zealand market. Another purpose built gym is planned at the busy shopping precinct of Newmarket in 2012.
