FIIT vs Les Mills+ (2026)

Quick answer

Quick answer: FIIT wins narrowly overall at 6.4 versus Les Mills+ at 6.1. FIIT wins on Muscle Potential (Gede Foster’s Functional Strength is HYROX-credentialled and built for progressive structure), Time Efficiency (25-minute classes with finishers as the standard format), and Programme Structure (40+ training plans across three studios). Les Mills+ wins on Value for Money (2,000+ workouts at $14.99 Premium), iconic gym-floor programmes (BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYBALANCE), and instructor energy across 140,000 globally trained Les Mills coaches. Neither has substantial perimenopause programming: FIIT has none; Les Mills+ has a dedicated section with only 4 workouts at time of testing. The critical FIIT friction point: the video player does not allow rewind, fast-forward or scrub, which is a real UX gap that Les Mills+ does not share.

Choose FIIT if you:

• Want UK-native billing in pounds and a permanently free Group Classes tier
• Want HYROX-aligned conditioning content (Gede Foster’s Functional Strength)
• Train primarily with dumbbells and kettlebells at home
• Prefer 25-minute structured strength sessions over longer group-class formats
• Like a curated UK trainer roster (Gede Foster, Lottie Murphy, Cat Meffan, Adrienne Herbert)

Choose Les Mills+ if you:

• Have used BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT or BODYBALANCE at a gym and want the format at home
• Have a barbell and weight plates at home for BODYPUMP
• Prefer high-energy group-fitness instructor delivery
• Want martial arts (BodyCombat) as a core part of your training
• Want a video player that lets you scrub, rewind and fast-forward through any class

Inside FIIT and Les Mills+

Bottom line in 30 seconds

• FIIT wins on strength credentialling and programme structure. 6.4 versus 6.1. Gede Foster (FIIT Director of Fitness and Performance, HYROX Global MC) leads Functional Strength sessions with clear progressive structure. 40+ training plans across three studios (Cardio, Strength, Rebalance). The 25-minute class length plus finishers fits perimenopausal time and energy reality.
• Les Mills+ wins on iconic format access and value per workout volume. BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYBALANCE, BODYATTACK, BODYSTEP, GRIT and Les Mills Dance at $14.99/month Premium for 2,000+ workouts. The instructor delivery on group-fitness formats is what most gym-goers associate with Les Mills, recreated at home.
• FIIT’s video player is the critical UX gap. No rewind, no fast-forward, no scrub. Pause and resume only. For perimenopausal users managing cognitive symptoms, this is a meaningful friction point. Les Mills+ has standard video player controls.

Why these scoring categories matter more after 40

Three physiological changes during perimenopause shape what training should look like. Oestrogen decline accelerates loss of muscle and bone. Maltais 2009 documents the trajectory and the 2022 systematic review on resistance training for postmenopausal women confirms structured progressive loading as the most effective intervention. Baseline cortisol elevates, compressing recovery. Tendon and ligament elasticity decreases, which Watt 2018 documents as a primary driver of musculoskeletal pain across the menopause transition. Cognitive symptoms (forgetfulness, attention difficulty) affect a substantial portion of women through the transition.

The category weights reflect that reality. Between FIIT and Les Mills+, the biggest splits sit on Muscle Potential (FIIT’s strength studio credentialling), Programme Structure (FIIT’s 40+ training plans vs Les Mills’ fragmented catalogue), and Joint Friendliness (Les Mills’ BodyBalance vs FIIT’s rare modification cueing). The UX gap on FIIT’s video player adds cognitive load for users managing menopausal cognitive symptoms; Les Mills’ standard player controls do not.

Time efficiency 7.5 vs 6.5

FIIT’s class lengths run 10, 25, 40 or 60 minutes, with 25-minute classes positioned as the most useful slot. The 25-minute Functional Strength sessions (typically with a finisher built in) sit in the right time-budget zone for perimenopausal women managing energy and schedule constraints.

Les Mills+ signature programmes (BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYBALANCE) are typically 45 to 60 minutes, mirroring gym-floor class lengths rather than fitting around fragmented home schedules. Short-format options exist (15 and 30 minute versions of most programmes) but the platform is designed around the full-length class experience.

FIIT edges ahead on the 25-minute reliable session format. For women with reliably available 45 to 60 minute slots, Les Mills+ works. For women with variable time and energy, FIIT’s shorter default is more flexible.

Muscle potential 8 vs 7.5

This is where FIIT pulls ahead clearly.

FIIT’s strength studio is led by Gede Foster, the platform’s Director of Fitness and Performance and the HYROX Global MC. Functional Strength sessions have clear structure: she explains what we are going to do, previews the next move, and her cueing assumes you are training to build, not just to move. The studio covers Push Pull, Abs and Core, Kettlebells, HYROX-specific training and full-body strength with Angela Gargano. The 7.5 / 10 Muscle Potential score reflects this credentialling.

Les Mills+ delivers strength through BODYPUMP, the iconic barbell-and-weights group strength programme. BODYPUMP at home requires a barbell and weight plates that most home gyms do not have. For users with a barbell, BODYPUMP is genuinely strong high-rep moderate-load periodisation. For users without, the strength gap is real. The 7.5 / 10 Muscle Potential score reflects this constraint.

For women optimising for strength gain with home dumbbells and kettlebells, FIIT’s Gede Foster content is the stronger fit. For women with a full barbell setup who want BODYPUMP-style training, Les Mills+ works. Neither matches Sweat’s PWR or BUILD progressive structure with logged weights for maximum hypertrophy.

Why progressive overload matters more after 40

Progressive overload is the principle of gradually adding load over time. After 40, oestrogen decline accelerates muscle and bone loss. FIIT’s strength studio offers a clearer path here than Les Mills+ because the trainer credentialling (HYROX, performance-coaching background) is more strength-aligned and the equipment requirements are more accessible. Les Mills+ BODYPUMP delivers progressive structure but only if you have a barbell setup. Combine either with adequate protein intake (1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight daily) for the foundation the evidence identifies as effective.

The honest framing for a perimenopausal training goal: both platforms deliver maintenance and foundational strength when used consistently. FIIT’s Functional Strength is built with progressive structure that nudges you toward heavier loading. BODYPUMP delivers periodisation through programme release cycles. Neither is the maximum-hypertrophy choice (that is Sweat’s PWR or BUILD). For women whose goal is to maintain muscle and bone through the transition rather than transform body composition, either platform paired with adequate protein and sleep will deliver the foundation. The training is necessary; it is not sufficient on its own. The wider context (nutrition, sleep, stress regulation) is what makes the difference.

Women over 40 specificity 6 vs 4.5

Both platforms are weak on this category.

FIIT has no dedicated perimenopause or menopause programme. The platform’s strengths (detailed filtering, named trainers, free Group Classes tier) are real but generic to a general-fitness audience. For perimenopausal users specifically, this is a structural gap.

Les Mills+ has a dedicated perimenopause and menopause section that contained only 4 workouts at time of testing. For a platform with 2,000+ workouts and the resources of a global fitness brand, this is sparse. The dedicated section is not enough to serve women who are actively looking for that content.

Neither platform wins this category meaningfully. Both work for women over 40 with the right programme selection. For dedicated perimenopause programming, look at Obe Fitness, Peloton Menopause Collection or Pvolve Menopause Strong.

Joint friendliness 6 vs 5.5

FIIT’s joint-friendliness is the weakest part of the platform for the women-over-40 audience. The coaching style is boutique-studio energy at fast pace. In-class modifications are rarely shown. When a movement does not work for your body, you have to know your own modifications in advance.

Les Mills+ scored 5.5 / 10 on Joint Friendliness. The high-energy group-fitness format does not lead with modification cueing. BodyCombat and BodyAttack are high-impact. BODYPUMP loads the spine through barbell work. BodyBalance and Les Mills Dance are lower-impact options but require selection.

Neither platform leads on joint protection. Les Mills+ has BodyBalance as a clearer joint-aware option than anything FIIT offers as a default. For women with diagnosed joint issues, Peloton’s HSS ACL recovery programme and in-class modification culture are the differentiators in this category.

Recovery compatibility 6.5 vs 6

FIIT’s Rebalance studio covers Pilates, yoga and mobility, with strong Lottie Murphy Pilates content. The Rebalance library is competent but not deep on dedicated restorative content.

Les Mills+ has BodyBalance (yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi blend), Stretch and Mobility content, and dedicated mindfulness sessions. The recovery library is broader in volume than FIIT’s Rebalance.

Les Mills+ edges ahead on volume of recovery content. FIIT is sufficient for active recovery within the structured programme framework. Neither matches FitOn’s meditation library depth or Alo Wellness Club’s restorative content.

Programme structure 6.5 vs 5

FIIT wins this category clearly.

FIIT has 40+ training plans across the three studios (Cardio, Strength, Rebalance) plus body activity tracking via the optional tracker. The plans are competent and varied. Plans have defined progression and clear weekly structure.

Les Mills+ scored 5 / 10 on Programme Structure. The 2,000+ workouts are organised by programme type (BODYPUMP releases, BODYCOMBAT releases) but the platform does not assemble a weekly schedule for you. You pick what to do each session. For women who know the Les Mills format from gym classes and want to recreate that experience at home, this works. For women who want structured weekly planning, it is less complete.

For users who want to be told what to do each week, FIIT is the stronger choice. For users who want to dip into a vast library of iconic programmes, Les Mills+ works.

A closer look at FIIT

Value for money 6 vs 8.5

Les Mills+ wins this category narrowly.

FIIT Unlimited costs £19.99/month or £119.99/year (£9.99/month effective). The 14-day free trial requires a card. The permanently free Group Classes tier (daily scheduled live classes, no card) is the strongest free option of the two.

Les Mills+ Premium at $14.99/month or $119.99/year gives access to 2,000+ workouts. Base at $7.49/month is cheaper but materially limited (no BODYPUMP, no TV streaming). The 6 / 10 Value for Money score reflects the volume per pound at Premium tier.

FIIT’s free Group Classes tier is the cheapest of any option between the two. For paid commitment, the prices are similar (FIIT annual £119.99 ≈ Les Mills+ Premium annual $119.99). For users who can use BODYPUMP and BODYCOMBAT, Les Mills+’s 2,000+ workout volume is exceptional value at $14.99/month.

UX and design 6.5 vs 7.5

This is where FIIT’s biggest limitation lives, and where Les Mills+ wins clearly.

FIIT’s filtering is detailed (by type, length, equipment, level, trainer, body area, goal) and the trainer roster is well-curated. The boutique-studio aesthetic with coordinated LED lighting recreates a London-fitness-club feel. The video player, however, does not allow rewind, fast-forward or scrub. You can pause and resume only. For perimenopausal users managing cognitive symptoms, this is a significant gap.

Les Mills+ has standard video player controls (scrub, rewind, fast-forward). The app navigation is competent across iOS, Android, web and smart TVs. The library is browsable by programme type and class release. The production values on individual workouts are high.

Les Mills+ wins this category cleanly on the video player alone. FIIT’s filter quality is competitive but the player limitation costs meaningful UX score points specifically for the perimenopausal audience.

A closer look at Les Mills+

Nutrition integration 2 vs 4.5

Neither platform leads on nutrition.

FIIT has no dedicated nutrition content. No audio courses on protein, no menopause-specific nutrition framing, no integration with a nutrition tracking platform. The 4.5 / 10 Nutrition Integration score reflects this gap.

Les Mills+ scored 4.5 / 10. Some nutrition content exists but it is not a focus. For users who want meal plans bundled with their fitness subscription, Jillian Michaels App (3.5 / 10) or Daily Burn are better-equipped.

For perimenopause-specific nutrition (audio courses on protein for women over 40), neither platform offers it; Obe Fitness’s audio courses are the differentiated content there. This category does not differentiate FIIT and Les Mills+ meaningfully.

Who wins for…

Best for HYROX-aligned strength training

FIIT. Gede Foster (HYROX Global MC) leads the strength studio. Les Mills+ does not have HYROX content.

Best for iconic gym-floor programmes

Les Mills+. BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYBALANCE, BODYATTACK, BODYSTEP. The formats most women have done at a gym, recreated at home.

Best for free tier access

FIIT. Permanently free Group Classes with no card required. Les Mills+ offers a 30-day free trial only.

Best for users with a barbell home setup

Les Mills+. BODYPUMP is the only way to access this iconic format at home.

Best for users with dumbbells and kettlebells only

FIIT. The strength studio is built around this equipment level.

Best for martial arts fitness

Les Mills+. BodyCombat is the strongest martial arts fitness programme available at home.

Best for video player UX

Les Mills+. Standard scrub, rewind and fast-forward. FIIT does not allow these.

Best for women managing cognitive symptoms (brain fog)

Les Mills+. The ability to rewind a class when you miss a cue matters more than it sounds. FIIT’s player limitation does not support this.

Best for UK-native pricing

FIIT. Built in the UK and priced in pounds (£19.99/mo Unlimited, £119.99/yr). Les Mills+ is also priced locally in the UK but FIIT is more UK-anchored.

Best for structured weekly planning

FIIT. 40+ training plans across three studios. Les Mills+ has programmes but no enforced weekly schedule.

Best for short-session training

FIIT. 25-minute sessions are the standard format. Les Mills+ signature programmes are 45 to 60 minutes.

Best for instructor energy and group-fitness atmosphere

Les Mills+. Handpicked from 140,000 globally trained Les Mills instructors. The production values match a packed gym studio.

Best for women in their 50s and 60s

Les Mills+, narrowly, via BodyBalance for joint-aware training. Neither platform is the strongest entry for this group; Daily Burn’s True Beginner, Melissa Wood Health or Obe Fitness Menopause Program are gentler on-ramps.

Best for global availability

Tie. Both are globally available with localised billing. FIIT is UK-built but supports GBP, EUR, USD, CAD and AUD pricing. Les Mills+ is global through the Les Mills brand presence in 20,000+ clubs.

Best for tracker integration

FIIT. The optional FIIT tracker integrates body activity profile data into the platform’s experience. Les Mills+ uses standard Apple Health and Google Fit integration.

Best for hiring a single trainer to follow consistently

FIIT. The roster is small enough that you can follow Gede Foster or Lottie Murphy across multiple programmes and build a relationship with their coaching style. Les Mills+ has many more instructors, which means less consistency across programmes if you follow trainer-by-trainer.

Best for high-intensity training without strength focus

Les Mills+. GRIT Cardio and BodyAttack are high-intensity cardio formats designed for the audience that wants this style. FIIT has HIIT content but it is less of a platform focus.

Best for boutique-studio aesthetic at home

FIIT. The London-fitness-studio LED-lit production aesthetic recreates a boutique-class feel. Les Mills+ has higher production volume but the aesthetic is more group-fitness than boutique.

Best for connected machine workouts (treadmill, bike, rower)

FIIT. The platform has dedicated connected machine classes for treadmill, AirBike, bike and rower with tracker integration. Les Mills+ has Sprint indoor cycling but the connected-machine experience is less developed.

Best for live class accountability

FIIT. Daily free Group Classes plus live leaderboard sessions with a tracker. Les Mills+ has some live sessions but the live offering is less central to the product.

Best for users without a tracker

Les Mills+. FIIT’s body activity profile experience is enhanced by a tracker; without one, you miss some of the platform’s distinctive features. Les Mills+ does not require a tracker.

Personal testing and observations

FIIT testing

I tested FIIT for 14 days on its Unlimited free trial. Sessions tested: Functional Strength with Gede Foster, full body strength with Angela Gargano, Pilates basics with Lottie Murphy, a self-built mix of strength, Pilates and cardio, and one treadmill workout. Gede Foster’s Functional Strength sessions were the standout. The structure is clear: she explains what we are going to do, previews the next move on the left of the screen, and her cueing assumes you are training to build.

The friction point that ended my trial was the video player. FIIT does not let you rewind, fast-forward or scrub through a class. You can pause and resume only. There were classes where I missed a cue, wanted to go back ten seconds, and could not. The Class Breakdown panel below the video lists the moves but does not substitute for being able to rewind to a specific moment in the actual demonstration. The second friction was the rarity of in-class modifications; the strength sessions assume a competent baseline and the pace is fast.

Les Mills+ testing

I tested Les Mills+ on the 30-day free trial. BodyCombat and Les Mills Dance were the two programmes I committed to. BodyCombat was high energy and effective for cardio, with instructor delivery that matches the gym-floor experience. Les Mills Dance was unexpectedly enjoyable, similar to my experience with Daily Burn’s Dance & MOVE!.

I did not test BODYPUMP because I do not have a barbell setup at home. This is a meaningful gap because BODYPUMP is what most people associate with the Les Mills brand. The 30-day free trial allowed me to thoroughly test what I could access without making a long-term commitment.

When I checked the dedicated perimenopause and menopause section, it contained 4 workouts. Four. For a platform with 2,000+ workouts and the resources of a global fitness brand, this is sparse. The broader library has joint-aware options (BodyBalance, dance, stretch) but the dedicated section was not enough to make Les Mills+ a perimenopause-specific recommendation.

Why instructor energy matters more after 40

Perimenopause produces variable nervous-system states. Some days you can absorb high-energy group-fitness instructor delivery and it lifts you. Other days you cannot, and that same delivery wears you out faster than the training does. FIIT’s instructor roster (Gede Foster, Lottie Murphy, Adrienne Herbert, Cat Meffan, Laura Hoggins) is well-curated and feels more intimate; the coaching has a London-boutique-club personality. Les Mills+ leans into bigger group-fitness energy from instructors picked from 140,000 globally trained Les Mills coaches. Honest self-assessment about which style you respond to on hard days matters more than the feature comparison.

Why video player UX matters more after 40

One of the under-discussed adherence dimensions during perimenopause is cognitive load. Brain fog, attention difficulty and short-term memory glitches affect a substantial portion of women through the menopause transition. The implication for fitness app design is direct: if you miss a cue because your attention drifted for ten seconds, can you go back to it? On a platform with a standard video player, yes. You scrub backwards, find the cue, and continue. On a platform without rewind, you cannot. You either guess the movement, pause to look at the Class Breakdown text, or abandon the session.

FIIT’s video player limitation is not a minor inconvenience. It is a structural friction point that compounds across a training month. Every time you miss a cue, the platform asks more cognitive effort to recover than a standard player would. For users in their 20s and 30s without these symptoms, this barely registers. For perimenopausal users, it is the kind of repeated micro-friction that drives early cancellation. Les Mills+’s standard player controls are not a feature; they are a baseline that FIIT does not meet, and the gap costs FIIT score points on UX specifically because of the audience this site serves.

Which is better for women over 50?

For women over 50, the answer depends on starting point and equipment.

Women over 50 with a barbell home setup wanting BODYPUMP-style strength: Les Mills+. The structured high-rep moderate-load BODYPUMP format works for over-50 strength training within joint constraints.

Women over 50 without a barbell, wanting structured strength with dumbbells and kettlebells: FIIT, via Gede Foster’s Functional Strength. The 25-minute format suits over-50 schedules and recovery patterns.

For joint-aware training specifically, Les Mills+ BodyBalance is the cleaner choice between the two. For women in their 60s and 70s starting fresh, neither platform is the strongest entry; Daily Burn’s True Beginner, Melissa Wood Health or BODi’s 4 Weeks for Every Body are gentler on-ramps. Obe Fitness Menopause Program is also a strong option for US and Canadian women in this group, validated by my own mum’s testing in her late 60s.

Which video player is better?

Les Mills+. FIIT’s video player has no rewind, fast-forward or scrub. Les Mills+ has standard controls.

Which has better instructor coaching?

Different. FIIT’s UK trainer roster feels more intimate. Les Mills+ instructor energy matches a packed gym studio. Match to your nervous system.

Which works on more devices?

Both work across iOS, Android, web and TV platforms. Roughly equivalent on cross-device support.

Can I use FIIT or Les Mills+ without equipment?

Both, partially. FIIT’s bodyweight, Pilates, yoga and mobility classes are mat-only. Les Mills BodyCombat, BodyBalance and Les Mills Dance require no equipment. FIIT’s strength studio needs dumbbells; Les Mills+ BODYPUMP needs a barbell and weight plates.

Which is better for cardio variety?

Les Mills+. BODYCOMBAT (martial-arts cardio), BODYATTACK (high-impact cardio), BODYSTEP (step cardio) and GRIT Cardio give more cardio-format variety than FIIT’s cardio studio.

Which is better for women who train in the morning before work?

FIIT. The 25-minute Functional Strength format fits a pre-work training window cleanly. Les Mills+ signature programmes typically run 45 to 60 minutes which is harder to slot before a standard workday.

Which has better Pilates content?

Similar quality. FIIT has Lottie Murphy’s Pilates programmes (well-produced, technique-focused). Les Mills+ has BodyBalance (yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi blend) which is less Pilates-specific but covers the format. For dedicated Pilates, FIIT’s Lottie Murphy content is the cleaner choice.

Can I cancel either platform easily?

Both, yes. FIIT cancels through standard app settings; cancel at least 72 hours before trial ends to avoid charges. Les Mills+ cancels anytime through subscription settings with no friction.

Which feels more polished overall?

Les Mills+ on cinema-quality production values. FIIT on filtering and trainer roster curation. Both are competent; the differences are aesthetic preferences rather than functional gaps. The video player gap on FIIT is the one objective functional difference.
