Les Mills On Demand - Anyone?

I love Les Mills on Demand - pre Covid I loved the body pump classes at the gym so I bought a barbell and some weights. I now have the set lol I have also discovered step, dance and core stuff. Its brilliant. you can choose 30, 45 or 55 min sessions too which is great. I love the atmosphere they have and the encouragement - you feel like you are there. I would love to go do one of there big group sessions.

Hmmm how did you accidentally order the weights? I was desperately looking for them for months last year. I finally made do with some body bars which do work quite nicely but we’re more expensive 😡. Anyways, I love Pump and Flow. Thinking about trying Barre.

LMOD fangirl right here. I started out doing Combat, Pump and Attack, I did some combination of those 3 workouts about 5 days a week for 10 months or so. I'm coming up on the end of my one year subscription and will DEFINITELY renew. I purchased an entry level spin bike in January because I really wanted to try out The Trip - if you haven't tried it and have a bike, its great. And if you have space and resources for a spin bike (mine was like, $350 on amazon - it doesn't need to be anything fancy) its TOTALLY worth it. I've stopped doing Pump only because i'm doing a weight routine with heavier weights, but I did really like it. I do Combat 3 days a week and either The Trip or Sprint (bike stuff) 3 days and usually one short CXWORX/Core workout somewhere in there. I've been so happy with LM - and the instructors are somehow very endearing. I love the hybrid workouts and I wish they would add more of them...but without Flow. I hate flow so much.

I love LMOD!! Combat is my favourite!

I am a LMODer too - I joined late January, and do something nearly every day. If it's a rest day, I still do a short stretch or BodyBalance.

I have never been this consistent in my past experiences with joining a physical gym, and I think I push myself harder without an audience (not that everyone was really ever watching me, but I think I still felt a bit self-conscious). I have never loved exercise or sports - hiking or general walking was my limit, so I am surprised how much I am loving it.

I have bought weights & a step, which I mostly funded by selling other unloved fitness gear. And the difference plus subscription fee, I look at as an investment in me.

I have just found this, a year later!! Would love to be a part of an accountability group. Recently came back to MFP after too much pandemic stress eating, and signed up for LMOD last year. Seeking more consistency and support and would love to do the same for others. —Stacey in Alberta

I am still LMOD-ing here (or LM+ these days), and loving it.

Most weekdays I do something. In July last year, I bought myself a spin bike too, so now I head out to my garage a few days a week for that - the rest of the workouts are just in my living room.

It makes me laugh - back when I went to a physical gym, I just could not see the appeal of sitting on a stationary bike for a class. Yep, the people coming out at the end looked happy and sweaty, so clearly had a decent workout, but it was a big NOPE for me. Now it's my favourite

I had a look into local gyms recently - one Les Mills, and another with similar classes but with different names - but still could hardly find any time slots that would actually work for me. I don't think I can give up the flexibility that the on-demand subscription gives me.

@tbarnard02 have you tried the Tone classes? A bit like a milder version of the HIIT Grit classes, mixed in with Core (CXWorks).
There's also a good rotation of Trainer Series (only up for a limited time, feels like a one on one with your fave trainers), plus a Low Impact series etc.
So many options, though I tend to stick with my routine - a couple of pump classes, some spin biking, and fill in the gaps with Combat/Step/Core...and occasionally something else.
