Dunedin community enjoying free access to reimagined Les Mills gym during November

Reopening after an extensive refurbishment and reimagining, the new Les Mills gym in Dunedin’s Meridian Mall has been offering every resident in the South Island city free membership during November.

The launch offer, which includes free membership with access to Les Mills’ innovative range of fitness classes and state-of-the-art gym floor facility, is seen as a way to offer customers the perfect opportunity to form healthy habits ahead of summer and encourage their future engagement with the club.

Explaining the move, Les Mills New Zealand Chief Executive, Brett Sutton advised “Les Mills is for everyone, and we are so pleased to open our doors with this incredible free membership offer for every single resident.

“It’s incredibly exciting to be moving to our new Dunedin home and alongside our iconic group fitness offerings, we’re introducing two of Les Mills’ most popular boutique-style programmes that were previously unavailable - THE TRIP®, an immersive cycle experience with digitally created worlds - and CEREMONY®, a functional training programme designed for a whole-body workout.”

Les Mills Dunedin has welcomed locals in experiencing its new facilities with dedicated zones for group workouts, cardio machines, free weights, Olympic lifting (including a multi-bay squat rig and lifting platforms), functional training and stretching.

The club’s changing rooms will also have contrast therapy zones, which consist of cold plunge showers and saunas. Contrast therapy is believed to help relieve various injury symptoms by producing rapid changes in the circulatory system by moving between very warm conditions to very cold water.

Les Mills has invested more than $9 million into the new facility and will continue to bring a premium fitness offering to the Dunedin community.

The new gym is described as “a testament to Les Mills’ commitment to offering leading group fitness classes, cutting-edge fitness equipment and technologies and an inviting atmosphere to inspire and motivate individuals.”

Sutton added “Les Mills Dunedin’s move to Meridian Mall signifies not just a change in location, but a shift toward a cutting-edge fitness facility that prioritises well-being and community engagement.”
