LES MILLS REFORMER™ classes cost $5 per booking.
The $5 fee is charged 12 hours before the class starts. Once charged, it is non-refundable. You can view your paid class history in the Profile section.
You'll find Les Mills at Home in the Explore section of the Les Mills app.
The app asks for full calendar permission so that it can add and remove events. Allowing partial access would mean that the app could add booked and scheduled classes to your calendar, but not remove them if you cancelled. Partial access could also result in the same class being added more than once, as the app would not be able to check for existing instances. Les Mills does not view your calendar or personal event data.
To sync with Google Calendar, open the Google Calendar app, select ‘Menu’ then ‘Settings’ then ‘Manage Accounts’ and toggle on ‘Les Mills NZ’.
Yes, you can download and access the Les Mills app while using an overseas app store.
To receive waitlist notifications, you'll need to enable notifications both in the Les Mills app (Profile > Notifications) and in your device settings.
If either setting is turned off, you may not receive notifications.
CHALLENGES
Challenges are a fun way to stay motivated and track your progress. Join from the app Home screen.
Each challenge has its own dates, activities, and points structure. Complete activities to earn points, invite friends to join, and track your progress on the leaderboard.
Point-scoring activities vary by challenge and may include:
- Scanning into the club for a workout
- Booking and attending selected classes
- Completing a gym floor workout
- Achieving your workout goal
- Completing a Les Mills at Home workout
- Checking your challenge progress
When you join a challenge, the leaderboard will display your first name, last initial, home club, and points total. By joining, you agree to this information being visible to other challenge participants.
You'll see the top 10 participants, plus your own position. You can also filter the leaderboard to view participants from your club.
Leaderboards are designed to celebrate effort and consistency, no matter where you place.
There are several reasons you may not have earned challenge points, including:
- You've already earned points for that activity that day
- Your membership is on pause or in arrears
- You're visiting a club not included in your membership
- You scanned into the club before joining the challenge
If you have checked these reasons and still are not sure why your points were not awarded, contact [email protected] and we can look into it for you.
To earn class points, book or schedule a class in the timetable on the Les Mills app, then sign in at reception during the two-hour window (one hour before and one hour after) the class start time.
Scan the QR code displayed on the gym floor within two hours of signing in at reception. Your points will be added instantly.
Most activities are reset daily, while workout goals can be completed once per week.
To keep things fair, you'll only earn points from your highest-scoring in-club workout each day. For example, you'll receive points for either a group fitness class or a gym floor workout, not both.

Your badges will appear in the Progress section after the challenge has finished.
Each challenge is different. Some may include spot prizes during the challenge, while others may offer prize draws for members who sign up early or complete the challenge.
