Les Mills opens state-of-the-art club in the heart of Hamilton

Les Mills is giving Hamilton residents the chance to unleash their potential at a brand new $10 million fitness club in the heart of the city.

New Zealand's largest and most awarded gym chain has opened its new club at a fully-renovated and refurbished site at 747 Victoria Street in the Hamilton CBD. Formerly a car dealership, the transformed space is providing an exciting exercise experience, including a 190 metre2 outdoor training area where members can enjoy an open-air workout.

Parents will find working-out a breeze with the new 'LM JNR' space, a brand new type of activity experience designed to get children's moving while mum or dad does their own workout.

A purpose-built area at the new club features interactive resources, including climbing walls, a custom-built jungle-gym, ball pit and movement-based X-Box games.

Also new to Les Mills Hamilton is the international Les Mills GRIT series, a scientifically designed 30-minute workout, calculated to burn high amounts of energy in a short space of time.

Proven to get results faster, by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, these short, sharp lunchtime workouts are ideal for Hamilton's city workers.

Les Mills Hamilton Club Manager Sheldon Macdonald explains "we love being in the heart of Hamilton and are excited to offer a gym that's even more convenient to people. We think this is the best Les Mills club yet, and can't wait to welcome our members to the new space.

"We're also really proud to be incorporating many of our green policies into the building, with energy-saving initiatives such as solar panels for hot water heating, eco-showerheads and energy efficient LED lighting. It's simply the right thing to do and members can now feel even better about coming to the gym."

The club features the latest in fitness equipment technology with a range of 'exer-tainment' options.

Here members can connect their smartphones to new LifeFitness cardio machines, allowing access to personal music, books and apps. Users can also access social networks to interact with friends and personal trainers while working out with My Community. Virtual Lifescape courses allow users to run or cycle through Auckland, Coromandel, Germany, California or Italy, with speed and incline adjusting to the terrain.

The new club offers free on-site carparking and will be open 24 hours a day from Monday to Thursday, operating right through from 5:30am Monday to 8.30pm Fridays, and then opening 7am to 7pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
