The fitness industry continues to evolve, and the arrival of LES MILLS REFORMER marks one of the most exciting developments in boutique fitness. Combining the expertise of Les Mills' world-renowned programming with the challenge and versatility of reformer-based training, this innovative new workout is set to redefine how members experience strength, control and movement.
Developed to deliver a premium, coach-led reformer workout, LES MILLS REFORMER blends progressive resistance training with functional movement patterns, creating a class designed to build strength, improve stability and enhance overall fitness.
The result is a dynamic and balanced experience that challenges participants of all fitness levels while maintaining the motivating atmosphere that Les Mills is known for around the world.
The program is set to make reformer pilates increasingly accessible to newcomers and experienced movers through availability across mainstream fitness facilities in Australia and other Asia-Pacific regions.
A New Chapter for Group Fitness
For decades, Les Mills has led the way in creating science-based group fitness programs that inspire millions of people to move every week. From strength and cardio (BODYATTACK™) to cycling (RPM™), HIIT (LES MILLS GRIT™) and mind-body training (BODYBALANCE™) , each program has been developed to deliver measurable results while creating an engaging member experience.
LES MILLS REFORMER represents the next evolution in that journey.
The 45-minute, pre-choreographed program focuses on controlled movement, muscular endurance, balance, mobility and core strength, creating a challenging yet accessible session that keeps participants motivated from beginning to end.
All classes are designed to synchronise movement to sound, immersing members into a fitness experience that is fluid and catered to match the energy and timing of each exercise.
Why Reformer Training Continues to Grow
Reformer Pilates has experienced significant growth in recent years. Demand has skyrocketed across the Asia Pacific region, with Singapore’s (one of the region's most mature fitness markets) Pilates revenue increasing by more than 270% in the past 6 years.
Global program-booking platform ClassPass reported Pilates as the most-booked workout worldwide for the third consecutive year in 2025, with participation growing 66% year-on-year. Reformer Pilates bookings increased by 71% year-on-year, signifying compelling consumer demand for the category.
Unlike traditional strength training, reformer workouts use spring resistance to create constant muscular engagement throughout every exercise. This allows participants to build strength while developing greater body awareness and control.
“We’ve taken our time to truly assess the market and design something that expands access, without compromising on quality. The result is a product that helps clubs democratise Reformer Pilates and reach far more members with this wonderful style of Training.”, states LES MILLS REFORMER co-creator Summer Bradley.
Built Around Coaching and Connection
One of the defining features of any Les Mills program is its emphasis on exceptional coaching. Every class is designed to help instructors motivate, educate and connect with participants while delivering safe and effective movement patterns.
LES MILLS REFORMER continues that tradition by placing expert coaching at the centre of every workout. The program initiates instructor-led coaching, whereby the instructor is not only guiding the class, but also participating, to fast-track skill development and refine technique.
This commitment to quality coaching helps create an inclusive environment where beginners feel supported while experienced participants continue to be challenged.
Raising the Studio Experience
Launching a new fitness concept involves far more than introducing new equipment. It requires careful planning, instructor education and the right environment to deliver a seamless member experience from day one.
Each class is pre-choreographed and divided into four main parts:
- Foundation - Prepping the body, priming glutes and core.
- Front - Deep core and abdominal muscles.
- Back - Glutes, hamstrings and back muscles.
- Stretch - Finishing with a polished stretch series.
This approach enables clubs to scale their Reformer offering quickly and confidently, without the variability or complexity often associated with traditional Pilates delivery.
As clubs across Australia begin introducing LES MILLS REFORMER, the program is expected to become an exciting addition to existing timetables, offering members another way to challenge themselves while enjoying the motivation and community that group fitness provides.
An Exciting Future Ahead
The launch of LES MILLS REFORMER highlights the continued innovation shaping today's fitness industry. As members seek more personalised, engaging and results-driven workouts, programs that combine expert coaching with premium training experiences are becoming increasingly important.
For fitness facilities, introducing LES MILLS REFORMER represents an opportunity to diversify their offering, attract new members and provide existing communities with fresh ways to train.
As LES MILLS REFORMER continues to expand into more facilities, it promises to become another standout addition to the globally recognised Les Mills portfolio - bringing together innovation, expert coaching and high-quality movement experiences for the next generation of group fitness.
