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.
