DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Here at Les Mills, we believe our people are the only way to achieve our goal of creating a fitter planet. A diverse, equitable and inclusive culture is not a trend – it’s just the right thing to do.

We aspire to create a company where our teammates can be their authentic selves, speak their mind, and not be afraid to fail.

OUR COMMITMENTS

HIRING

We will hire Black People, People of Color, and Women until they represent over 50 percent of our board and senior team.
