Is Les Mills Worth It in NZ? — 2026 Honest Review

Les Mills memberships start from around $17.99/week with a 3-month minimum term and a joining fee that's often waived in promotions. Under-23s typically get about 20% off. It sits at the premium end of the NZ market.

You're paying for large, well-equipped clubs, pools and saunas at many locations, and the widest group fitness timetable in NZ — BodyPump, RPM, BodyCombat, Grit and more, all created in-house.

If you'll actually use classes 3+ times a week, Les Mills is genuinely good value — the per-class cost beats paying drop-in studio rates, and the timetable depth is unmatched by budget chains.

If you only lift weights or train at odd hours, you're overpaying. Not all clubs are 24/7, and budget chains deliver the same iron-pumping experience for half the price.

Choose Les Mills if you love group fitness, want pool access, and value premium facilities. Skip it if you're a budget-focused lifter or want guaranteed 24/7 access — a budget chain will serve you better.
