Global fitness brand licensing group workout programs and digital experiences
Les Mills operates a hybrid B2B fitness model: licensing branded workout programs to studios worldwide while building proprietary digital platforms (LES MILLS+). The tech stack reveals a marketing-and-data-driven org—Google/Meta ads, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, Snowflake, and data-governance tools (Collibra, Atlan, Purview) dominate—with hiring concentrated in marketing (4 roles) and data (2 roles), signaling a shift toward measurement, customer segmentation, and paid-media optimization. Active projects around paid-media strategy, customer onboarding, and data-governance align with scaling B2B partnerships and reducing friction in the sales funnel.
Les Mills International is a privately held fitness brand based in Auckland, New Zealand, with over 50 years in group fitness instruction. The company operates two core revenue streams: B2B licensing of signature workout franchises (BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, THE TRIP, and 1000+ programs) to fitness studios and gyms globally, and direct-to-consumer through LES MILLS+, a digital platform. The organization blends live instructor-led and on-demand digital content. With 501–1,000 employees, Les Mills maintains offices across New Zealand, the UK, and the US, and is actively hiring across marketing, data, engineering, and sales to support international expansion and digital transformation.
Les Mills uses Salesforce for CRM, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for finance and operations, Snowflake for data warehousing, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Python/SQL for analytics. Data governance is supported by Collibra, Atlan, and Purview. Marketing and paid-media functions run on Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, and Customer.io.
Les Mills is headquartered in Freemans Bay, Auckland, New Zealand, and was founded in 1968.
