You need to meet the level of fitness required for your program.
The intensity of each LES MILLS program is different, so we suggest you to attend at least 5 to 8 in-person classes, at a licensed facility before you commit to the Initial Training.
Club Endorsement is essential, as it confirms that throughout your five-week journey you will have access to an experienced, certified Instructor at a club that provides team-teaching and/or mentoring opportunities.

GEL or Certification 3 is not required by LES MILLS to complete our training. However, please check with your endorsing club in Australia, as they may require certain qualifications once you are certified and ready to teach.
There has also been a recent update from AUSactive regarding GEL certification — exciting news for future Instructors. You can read more about the changes here.
All trainees who complete our training will have the option to access a complimentary AUSactive student membership, which includes a free online Work Health & Safety course.
You don’t need any prior qualifications to become a LES MILLS Instructor. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to become a confident, certified Instructor.
Our training is designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and support required to succeed — from coaching and technique to choreography and connection. If you have passion and commitment, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
