If you're still reading comments :-) I remembered a few other things Les Mills does that are great.

They have a lot of training videos, several for each class of exercise they do. They're in-depth, and really show you the form.

They add tips to the actual work-outs, so you're constantly reminded of good form.

They have alternatives to most of the exercises, so you can modify them if you have (e.g.) knee problems, or aren't up to full push-ups, etc.

They do good cool-down routines at the end of most videos, and have a number of cool-down-only videos you can watch for the others. Not everyone thinks highly of post work-out cool-down/stretching, but a lot of the people who seriously study exercise recommend it.

Ah a Les Mills fan! I have several friends who love the training too, although I haven't heard much about the on-demand stuff until now. Thanks for sharing it!

How has the community element of LM translated to their app? Do you still have ways of engaging or competing?

[chris_st]

As far as I know, there's no competing in the app; can't say I've explored every crevice but I haven't seen it.

There is a Facebook group (which I haven't joined) which is, I gather, more supportive than competitive. They do videos every once in a while where they get their trainers/directors to either discuss techniques or answer Q&A. It's support-oriented.
