Quick Verdict

Worth it for women over 40? Conditionally – if you want martial arts or dance workouts, nothing else at this price comes close. As a primary fitness platform for perimenopausal women, it falls short.

Les Mills+ is a great gym brand that hasn’t fully made the leap to home fitness. The energy, the instructors, and the music are genuinely excellent – BodyCombat in particular is unlike anything else reviewed on this site. But the platform sits awkwardly between two things it doesn’t quite do as well as its competitors: it isn’t focused enough to match Burn360 or Caroline Girvan, and isn’t varied enough on the home fitness side to match Daily Burn or BODi. The choreography-based format is a bigger hurdle at home than in a gym, and the perimenopause content – just 4 workouts at time of testing – is not enough to serve women who are actively looking for that.

Start here: Use the 30-day free trial to try BodyCombat if you’re curious about martial arts fitness, and Les Mills Dance if you want something energetic but lower impact. Don’t subscribe expecting a structured programme that tells you exactly what to do each day.

What Equipment Do You Need for Les Mills+?

Equipment requirements on Les Mills+ vary more than most platforms. The majority of content — BodyCombat, dance, barre, yoga and cardio — needs nothing at all. BodyPump and GRIT Strength require a barbell and weight plates, though dumbbells work as a practical substitute for home use. RPM is the only programme that requires specific hardware.

🤸

No Equipment

BodyCombat, Les Mills Dance, Barre and most cardio programmes are fully equipment-free. This covers the majority of the library.

Free

🤸

Exercise Mat

Recommended for BodyBalance, Les Mills Pilates, Barre and any floor-based content. Not strictly required but makes sessions significantly more comfortable.

$15–$30

🏋️

Dumbbells

Two pairs at different weights work as a practical substitute for a barbell in BodyPump and GRIT Strength at home. Light (2–4kg) and moderate (6–10kg) covers most tracks.

$30–$80

🏋️

Barbell + Weight Plates

Required for BodyPump and GRIT Strength as designed. Les Mills sells their own SMARTBAR set, but any standard barbell setup works.

$80–$250

🤸

Stationary Bike

Required for RPM only — no other programme on the platform uses one. Any spin bike works; you do not need a specific Les Mills model.

$200–$800

Starting Without Equipment

If you are signing up for BodyCombat or dance cardio, you need nothing at all beyond your phone or TV. A mat is the only purchase worth making before you start.

A Great Gym Brand That Hasn’t Fully Made the Leap to Home Fitness

Les Mills is one of the most recognised names in group fitness worldwide. Founded in Auckland in 1968 by four-time Olympian Les Mills, it has spent over 50 years perfecting the format of instructor-led classes in gyms – BodyPump, BodyCombat, BodyBalance are in gym timetables across more than 21,000 clubs globally. If you have ever taken a group fitness class at a gym, you have probably done a Les Mills programme without knowing it.

LES MILLS+ is the at-home streaming version of that experience. And that origin story matters, because it explains almost everything about what the platform does well and where it falls short.

The instructors are world-class – handpicked from 140,000 global Les Mills trainers, they bring genuine energy, clear coaching, and the kind of motivational delivery that has filled gym studios for decades. The music is excellent. The production quality is high. When you press play on a BodyCombat session, you feel it immediately – this is a professional, polished workout experience.

But the format was designed for a gym class, and translating it to home fitness reveals gaps. In a gym, you attend a class regularly, you learn the choreography over weeks, you know what’s coming. At home, arriving cold to a BodyCombat routine with fast-changing martial arts sequences is a different experience entirely. I found myself jumping around within sessions trying to follow the moves – not because they weren’t explained, but because the sequences are complex enough that they reward familiarity, which home users have to build from scratch.

Who Les Mills+ Works Best For

The reviewers who love this platform most consistently share one thing: they already knew Les Mills from the gym. They know the choreography, they know the format, they know what to expect. If that’s you, the home app is an excellent complement to your gym membership or a convenient alternative when you can’t get there. If you’re coming in cold – as most home fitness users are – there is a steeper curve than the platform makes clear upfront.

One Trustpilot reviewer summed it up clearly: “On Demand was born after the pandemic, as an option for people to train at home… it is a plan B.” That is an honest description of what this platform feels like – a very good plan B, not yet a fully realised primary home fitness product.

Who Is Les Mills+ Best For – and Who Should Skip It?

Les Mills+ is for you if:

  • You already attend Les Mills classes at a gym and want home access to the same programmes
  • You want martial arts-inspired cardio workouts – BodyCombat is genuinely unique at this price point
  • Dance fitness appeals to you and you want something energetic but more forgiving than high-intensity cardio
  • You travel frequently and want access to familiar workouts wherever you are
  • You want variety across formats and are comfortable self-directing rather than following a structured daily plan

Les Mills+ is probably not for you if:

  • You want one coach, one programme, and a clear daily plan – Burn360 or Caroline Girvan will suit you far better
  • You are perimenopausal and looking for workouts specifically designed around your hormonal needs – the content is too thin here
  • You are a complete beginner – the choreography-based format has a learning curve that can be discouraging early on
  • You have significant joint issues and need consistently low-impact options – BodyCombat involves a lot of jumping and is genuinely demanding on joints
  • You want progressive overload tracking – there is no way to log weights or track progression within the app

BodyCombat Review: The Most Fun I’ve Had Being Worried About My Knees

I will be honest: I tried BodyCombat partly because I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it. Martial arts-inspired fitness is not my usual territory, and I went in with mild curiosity and mild apprehension about my joint pain.

What I found was one of the most genuinely energetic workout experiences I’ve tried. BodyCombat combines punching, kicking, and boxing sequences set to high-energy music, with instructors who bring real presence and enthusiasm. The energy in the videos is unlike anything else reviewed on this site. You feel it almost immediately – the music drives the pace, the instructor’s coaching is clear and motivating, and the combination of upper and lower body moves keeps you working hard without it ever feeling like a slog.

It raised my heart rate significantly. After one session I was sweating more than I expected and had that specific kind of tiredness that tells you something real happened.

Joint Pain and High Impact: Read This First

BodyCombat involves a lot of jumping, fast direction changes, and high-impact movements. I have joint pain and found it manageable – but I was cautious, modified some of the jump sequences, and paid attention to how my knees were responding throughout. If you have significant knee, hip, or ankle issues, approach this programme carefully. The instructors do show modifications, but the default format is high impact. This would not be my first recommendation for someone managing joint problems.

The choreography complexity is real and worth flagging. Unlike a dumbbell programme where you learn a handful of compound movements and repeat them with increasing weight, BodyCombat sequences change and layer over the course of a session. In a gym, you build familiarity over weeks of attending. At home, arriving at a session cold means spending the first few minutes catching up with what’s happening rather than just working. This is not a criticism of the programme itself – it is excellent in a gym context – but it is something home users should know going in.

Would I go back? Yes – occasionally. Not as my primary workout, but as a high-energy option for days when I want something different. The fun factor is real and that matters.

Les Mills Dance: The Low-Impact Surprise

If BodyCombat is the platform’s headline act, Les Mills Dance is the underrated supporting programme that deserves more attention – particularly for women over 40 who want something energetic without the joint demand.

Les Mills Dance is genuinely enjoyable. The energy is high, the music is good, the instructors make the choreography feel approachable, and the sessions move quickly in a way that makes the time pass faster than it should. I found it comparable in effort to a brisk jog or fast walk – a solid moderate-intensity workout that doesn’t feel like exercise in the way that a dumbbell session does.

A Genuine Alternative to Outdoor Cardio

For women who use walking or jogging as their moderate-intensity cardio, Les Mills Dance is a legitimate indoor replacement on days when getting outside isn’t possible. The effort level is comparable, the enjoyment factor is higher, and the choreography is accessible enough that you don’t spend the session feeling lost. I enjoyed these sessions thoroughly and would go back to them.

The choreography is simpler than BodyCombat, which makes a real difference for the home experience. You can follow along without the same catch-up period, which means you spend more time actually working and less time watching and processing. This is a programme that works at home in a way that BodyCombat only partially does.

Women Over 40 and Perimenopause Content: Disappointing

This is where Les Mills+ falls furthest short for the audience of this site, and I want to be direct about it.

There is a perimenopause and menopause programme on the platform. When I tested it, it contained 4 workouts. Four. For a platform with 2,000+ workouts and the resources of a global fitness brand, a dedicated section for women navigating one of the most significant physical transitions of their lives that contains 4 workouts is not a serious offering. It signals awareness of the need without the commitment to actually meeting it.

The Perimenopause Gap

If you are actively perimenopausal and looking for a platform that understands your hormonal needs, Les Mills+ is not it – at least not yet. Burn360 has built its entire methodology around female hormonal physiology at 40+. Even Daily Burn, which is a general platform, has stronger dedicated programming for women in their late 30s and beyond. Les Mills+ acknowledges the audience but doesn’t yet serve it properly.

The “Learn” section of the platform – a library of articles covering fitness science, nutrition, and health topics – is genuinely useful and well-written. Les Mills works with credible researchers and the editorial content reflects that. But articles are not workouts, and for women who came to the platform hoping to find structured training designed around where their body actually is at 45, the content library doesn’t fill the gap.

There is also cycle-syncing content on the platform – workouts designed to align with different phases of the menstrual cycle – which is a more thoughtful offering. But again, the depth isn’t there yet compared with platforms that have made this their specialism.

The Les Mills+ Library: 2,000+ Workouts Across 20+ Programmes

Away from the over-40 gap, the breadth of what Les Mills+ offers is genuinely impressive – particularly at the Premium price point.

What’s in the Library

Cardio and martial arts: BodyCombat, BodyAttack, BodyStep, LES MILLS GRIT Cardio – high intensity, varied formats

Strength: BodyPump (barbell-based), LES MILLS CORE, LES MILLS TONE, LES MILLS GRIT Strength – note that BodyPump requires a barbell and weight plates

Dance: Les Mills Dance, SH’BAM, BodyJam – energetic, music-driven, no equipment

Mind/body: BodyBalance (yoga/Pilates/tai chi fusion), Les Mills Pilates, Les Mills Barre, stretching and mobility

Cycling: RPM, LES MILLS SPRINT, THE TRIP – requires an exercise bike

Wellness: Breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, recovery sessions

Session length: 10 to 55+ minutes – but filtering by time is only available once you’ve selected a programme category, not at the top level

The 3 to 12-week structured plans and challenges are a genuine attempt to give structure to home training – something the platform needs given how self-directed the experience otherwise is. If you subscribe, these plans are worth using rather than just browsing the library at random, which is how I started and found disorienting.

No progressive overload tracking is a real gap for the strength programmes. There is no way within the app to log what weights you used in your last BodyPump session or track whether you’re progressing. For a home fitness app in 2026, this is behind where it should be.

The visual design of LES MILLS+ is genuinely distinctive – bold, high-energy, confident. It looks like a premium product and loads quickly. On that first impression it compares well with anything else reviewed on this site.

The navigation experience is more mixed. Workouts are organised by type – cardio, strength, dance, mind/body – which is a logical starting point. But the top-level filtering stops there. You cannot filter by session length, difficulty level, or instructor from the main browse screen. Those filters become available once you have chosen a programme category and drilled down, but as a first-time user trying to find a 20-minute beginner-friendly session without knowing which programme to look in, the experience requires more clicks and guesswork than it should.

Filtering: What You Can and Can’t Do

Top-level browse: Filter by workout type only (cardio, strength, dance etc.)

Within a programme category: Filter by time, instructor, difficulty

Not available anywhere: A single search across the full library by time and difficulty combined – you have to know which programme you want first

Compared to Daily Burn or BODi, where you can filter the entire library by time, intensity, equipment and instructor from one screen, this is a meaningful limitation – especially for new users who don’t know the programme names yet.

App stability is worth flagging. Recent Google Play and Trustpilot reviews from late 2025 and early 2026 mention workout tracking breaking after updates, the schedule failing to load, and downloads not working consistently. I didn’t experience major technical issues during my free trial, but the pattern across reviews suggests this is an ongoing issue worth knowing about before you commit to a paid subscription.

Les Mills+ Nutrition: Articles, Not Integration

Nutrition support on Les Mills+ lives in the “Learn” section – a library of well-written articles covering eating principles, science-backed guidance, and the Les Mills Fuel Reset, a structured programme with weekly videos, recipes, and guidance.

The quality of the content is good – Les Mills works with credible researchers and the articles are substantive rather than superficial. The Fuel Reset is a genuinely useful resource if you engage with it.

What it isn’t is integrated nutrition support. There are no meal plans built into the app, no calorie calculators linked to your training activity, no recipe library you can access alongside your workout schedule. If you want nutrition that works alongside your training in a structured way, Daily Burn’s 72-week meal plans or Burn360’s Eat 360 plan offer a more connected experience.

For women over 40 specifically, there is no nutrition content that addresses the hormonal dimensions of eating at this life stage – the kind of strategic guidance around carbohydrates, protein timing, and perimenopause that Burn360 builds into its approach. The articles are informative; they are not tailored.

Les Mills+ Price 2026: Base vs Premium and What Each Gets You

  Monthly Annual Key limitations
Base $7.49/month $59.99/year Limited workout selection per programme; no BodyPump; no TV streaming; no downloads; no favourites
Premium $14.99/month $119.99/year Full library 2,000+ workouts; all programmes; TV streaming; downloadable workouts; full app features

Value Assessment

Premium at $14.99/month is genuinely competitive for what it offers – 2,000+ workouts across 20+ programmes is real breadth at that price. The Base plan is too limited to be useful for most people – three workouts per programme is not enough to build consistency. If you subscribe, go Premium or don’t bother.

The 30-day free trial is the right way to test this. Use it for BodyCombat and Les Mills Dance specifically. That will tell you whether the platform suits you.

Free Trial Auto-Renews

The 30-day free trial requires a card upfront and auto-renews to a paid subscription if you don’t cancel before the trial ends. Cancel in My Account – Settings – My Subscriptions. If you signed up via Apple, Google Play, Roku, or Amazon, cancellation must go through that platform directly, not through Les Mills.

Les Mills+ Pros and Cons

Pros

  • BodyCombat is genuinely unique – martial arts fitness at this price point exists nowhere else reviewed here
  • Les Mills Dance is an excellent low-to-moderate intensity option – a real indoor alternative to a brisk walk or jog
  • Instructor quality is consistently high – energetic, clear coaching, genuinely motivating
  • Music is excellent throughout – properly licensed, matched to the workout pace
  • Bold, clean design – visually the most polished platform reviewed on this site
  • 2,000+ workouts at Premium – genuine breadth across every format
  • Good device compatibility – iOS, Android, TV, browser
  • Learn section has genuinely useful editorial content
  • 30-day free trial – low financial risk to test

Cons

  • Choreography-based format has a steep home learning curve – harder without gym familiarity
  • Perimenopause programme had only 4 workouts at time of testing – insufficient for women actively managing this transition
  • Top-level filtering limited to workout type only – time and difficulty filters buried inside categories
  • No progressive overload tracking – no way to log weights or measure progression
  • BodyCombat is high impact – not suitable for women with significant joint issues without modification
  • No structured daily plan – requires self-direction that doesn’t suit everyone
  • App stability issues reported consistently in 2025-2026 reviews – tracking and scheduling bugs
  • Nutrition is editorial only – not integrated into training the way Daily Burn or Burn360 offer
  • Feels like a gym product brought online rather than a home fitness product built from scratch

Will You Actually Stick With It?

LOW
Boredom Risk
1,500+ classes across BodyPump, BodyCombat, BodyBalance, Barre, Sprint, Core and more, with new releases every four weeks matching the gym programme cadence. Multiple instructors per format. The music is consistently excellent and is the platform’s single strongest retention hook — it is hard to feel bored in a well-programmed Les Mills class when the track is right.
LOW
Motivation Gap
The instructor energy and production quality are genuinely strong. Les Mills has built a global following because its teaching style is motivating in a way most competitors are not. Sessions feel higher-stakes than a typical home workout. For women who respond to that kind of structured, class-room energy, the motivation to return is built into the format itself.
HIGH
Programme Structure Risk
The most significant adherence risk on this platform. Les Mills+ has no structured daily programme. You are expected to self-direct every session. For women who thrive with a calendar they can follow and a plan with a clear endpoint, the absence of a guided path means drift is likely within weeks. This is a platform built for people who already know what they want and are self-motivated enough to find it.
MODERATE
Technical Friction
App stability issues — scheduling bugs, tracking failures, mid-workout crashes — are documented consistently in 2025–2026 reviews. A lost workout log or a session that crashes at the 25-minute mark erodes trust in the platform over time. This has not been resolved reliably as of the time of writing and is a real factor for anyone who relies on tracking to stay consistent.

Les Mills+ Weighted Scoring: How the 6.1/10 Was Calculated

The 6.8 reflects a platform that excels in energy and production quality but scores below the field on the criteria that matter most for women over 40 training at home. It sits in a gap: not focused enough to compete with single-coach programmes like Burn360 or Caroline Girvan, and not broad or home-optimised enough to compete with Daily Burn or BODi. The choreography learning curve and thin perimenopause content are the two factors that pull the score down most significantly for this audience.

The honest position: Les Mills+ occupies an awkward space in the market. It is not focused enough to replace a single-coach programme for women who want to be told exactly what to do each day. It is not varied enough in a home-optimised way to replace Daily Burn for variety seekers. Where it genuinely wins – BodyCombat, the instructor energy, the music – there is nothing else like it at the price. The question is whether those unique elements are enough to justify a primary subscription for women over 40. For most, probably not. As a secondary subscription alongside a more focused programme – possibly yes.

Les Mills+ FAQ: Common Questions Answered

What is Les Mills+?

LES MILLS+ is the at-home streaming platform of Les Mills, the New Zealand-founded fitness brand whose group exercise programmes (BodyPump, BodyCombat, BodyBalance) run in over 21,000 gyms worldwide. The app gives you on-demand access to 2,000+ workouts across 20+ programmes. It has two subscription tiers: Base ($7.49/month, limited library) and Premium ($14.99/month, full access). A 30-day free trial is available for new subscribers.

Is Les Mills+ good for women over 40?

Partially. The platform has a perimenopause and menopause programme, cycle-syncing content, and a general library broad enough to find lower-intensity options. But the perimenopause programme had only 4 workouts at time of testing, and there is no training methodology built specifically around female hormonal physiology at 40+ the way Burn360 does. For women actively managing perimenopause who want their training designed around that, Les Mills+ is not the right primary platform.

Is BodyCombat suitable for beginners?

Beginners should approach BodyCombat carefully. The programme is high intensity with a lot of jumping and complex martial arts sequences that change and layer throughout the session. Without prior Les Mills experience, there is a real learning curve. It is also high impact, which is a consideration for anyone managing joint issues. If you are new to exercise or have joint concerns, start with Les Mills Dance or BodyBalance first.

What is the difference between Base and Premium?

Base ($7.49/month) gives you a limited selection of workouts from each programme – around three per programme – with no BodyPump, no TV streaming, and no downloadable workouts. Premium ($14.99/month) gives full access to the complete library of 2,000+ workouts, all programmes including BodyPump, TV streaming, and downloadable workouts for offline use. For most people, Base is too limited to build a consistent training habit. Premium is the plan worth having.

Does Les Mills+ have nutrition support?

Yes, but it is editorial rather than integrated. The Learn section contains well-written articles on nutrition science, and the Les Mills Fuel Reset is a structured programme with weekly guidance and recipes. There are no meal plans built into the app itself, no calorie calculators linked to your training, and no nutrition content specifically addressing perimenopause or female hormonal health. If integrated nutrition support is important to you, Daily Burn (72-week meal plans) or Burn360 (Eat 360 plan) offer more.

How does Les Mills+ compare to Daily Burn?

Both are variety-based platforms at similar price points. Daily Burn is better optimised for home fitness users – stronger filtering, more dedicated women’s programming, better integrated nutrition. Les Mills+ has better instructor energy, superior music, and the unique BodyCombat and dance programmes that Daily Burn doesn’t offer. If you want a primary home fitness subscription, Daily Burn is more complete. If you specifically want martial arts workouts or already know Les Mills from the gym, Les Mills+ has what Daily Burn doesn’t.

Can I cancel Les Mills+ easily?

Yes. Cancel anytime in My Account – Settings – My Subscriptions. You keep access until the end of the paid period. If you subscribed via Apple, Google Play, Roku, or Amazon, you must cancel through that platform, not through Les Mills directly.

Is Les Mills+ Good for Women Over 50?

Only for specific use cases. Les Mills+ suits women over 50 who already enjoy group fitness formats and want a home version of BodyBalance (yoga and Pilates hybrid), BodyBarre or Tone. The menopause and perimenopause content is disappointingly thin for a platform with 2,000+ workouts – there is no dedicated programme for hormonal health, and the flagship high-intensity formats (BodyCombat, HIIT45) are not well-suited to women over 50 managing joint sensitivity. At $49.99/month for the premium plan, the value proposition for this demographic is weaker than lower-cost alternatives with more targeted content. If group fitness formats are your preference, it is worth considering. If menopause support is a priority, it is not the right platform.

Final Verdict

6.1/10

I went into Les Mills+ expecting a polished gym brand that had translated well to home. What I found was a polished gym brand that is still working out how to translate to home – and the gap between those two things is where the 6.8 comes from.

The energy is real. BodyCombat is genuinely unlike anything else I’ve tried at this price point, and I will go back to it occasionally – it’s fun in a way that few workouts are. Les Mills Dance thoroughly surprised me and I enjoyed it more than expected. The instructors are exceptional. The music is the best of any platform reviewed on this site.

But as a perimenopausal woman looking for training designed around where my body actually is, I didn’t find what I was looking for here. Four perimenopause workouts is not a programme. The choreography learning curve is real and makes the home experience harder than the gym equivalent. The lack of a clear daily structure means you need to come with your own plan, which is fine if you have one and frustrating if you don’t.

I won’t be going back to Les Mills+ as a primary platform. For the specific things it does exceptionally – BodyCombat if you want martial arts fitness, Les Mills Dance if you want energetic low-impact cardio – it is worth the 30-day free trial. For women over 40 looking for a programme built around their needs, look at Burn360 first.

Best for: People who already know Les Mills from the gym; anyone specifically wanting martial arts or dance workouts; variety seekers happy to self-direct.

Not ideal for: Complete beginners; perimenopausal women wanting hormonally-informed training; anyone needing a clear daily structure; women with significant joint issues approaching high-impact work.
