LES MILLS GRIT® Athletic is a 30-minute high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sports conditioning workout,
designed to make you perform like an athlete. This workout often uses a step, bodyweight exercises and
multi-dimensional sports conditioning training to increase your overall athletic performance: strength,
agility, speed and power.
LES MILLS GRIT Athletic takes cutting-edge HIIT and combines it with powerful music and inspirational
coaches who will be down on the floor with you, motivating you to go harder to get fit, fast.
LES MILLS GRIT is available in some clubs as a Virtual workout.
If you want to be healthier, happier, fitter, faster and stronger LES MILLS TONE can make it happen.
LES MILLS GRIT is scientifically-designed to take your fitness to the next level. The HIIT effect means you increase aerobic fitness, unleash fast-twitch muscle fibres and grow lean muscle tissue, burning fat. But don’t take our word for it. See findings from the Les Mills Lab for more evidence.

This workout is designed to challenge YOUR fitness – whatever level that may be. Exercise modifications allow everyone to push their individual limits.
LES MILLS GRIT is designed to complement your training schedule. Doing a LES MILLS GRIT workout twice a week will give you awesome results.
Wear your usual workout clothes and bring a water bottle, a towel and a big attitude. We’ll do the rest.
No, women are advised to reduce their exercise intensity during pregnancy so high intensity interval training is not recommended. We suggest talking to your doctor if you have any more questions about exercising while pregnant.
Movements to blocks of time allow you to complete maximum repetitions which allows a
focus on power training – maximising muscle output to hit top-end training zones.
The music is an integral part of the workout but doesn’t dictate the pace. As you work
to your own individual max effort, you can really push your limits – and that’s a
fundamental component of LES MILLS GRIT. So if moving in time to music isn’t your thing,
don’t stress, it’s there to motivate you, not confuse you. The great thing is for people
who love moving to the beat is that it’s definitely still an option as the music also
provides you with a base tempo to move to.
Music selection is an extensive process that involves Les Mills Jnr searching through
music for hours and hours to find specific beats per minute and beats that stay true to
the essence of our program. We then fine-tune the music (speeding up, slowing down or
extending pieces of music) to adapt it to fit the workout and to include sound effects
to emphasise key moments. We obsess over these details to turn a good fitness experience
into an amazing one.
LES MILLS GRIT is based on time intervals so we also need to select (or create) pieces
of music that fit perfectly with the work and recovery times for each block of work. You
also need different music to motivate you through each stage of the workout, so the
music in each block is chosen to push you to your max, and then to bring you down to
reset and rest in the breaks and recoveries.

All of the LES MILLS GRIT workouts are designed with set exercises that have safety and science at their core. They’ve all been tried and tested for safety and results. If you have any specific health concerns, check with your doctor before doing a LES MILLS GRIT workout.
