Want to learn how to lift weights and get strong? Les Mills Strength Development teaches you how—and delivers serious results.
Learn to Lift Weights. Get Strong. Build Confidence.
If you’ve ever wanted to build real strength—but didn’t know where to start—Les Mills Strength Development is for you.
Les Mills Strength Development is a results-focused strength training class built for every member, whether you’re new to lifting weights or already comfortable with a barbell. This isn’t about speed or choreography. It’s about getting strong, safely and progressively, in a structured and supportive environment.
What is Les Mills Strength Development?
Les Mills Strength Development is a progressive, 12-week lifting programme designed to help you master the basics of effective strength training—while also achieving maximum strength and muscle toning results.
Unlike choreographed Les Mills classes, Strength Development isn’t tied to the music, so the tempo slows down to let you focus on proper exercise form, control, and weight lifting technique..
It’s delivered in 45-minute sessions that guide you through smart lifting technique—from muscle hypertrophy and endurance work to heavier strength-focused training.
You’ll move through key ‘compound’ exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and bench press using barbells, plates, and bodyweight. The focus is on quality reps, not just quantity—so you’re always working with muscle-toning intention, not just going through the motions.
Why do I need the Les Mills Strength Development workout?
Strength isn’t just for athletes or bodybuilders. It’s one of the most effective ways to lose fat, reshape your body, and improve overall health. And Les Mills Strength Development classes make strength training accessible to everyone.
Here’s why it matters:
Strength training builds lean muscle mass, which boosts your metabolism and helps you burn more calories and lose fat—even at rest.
It improves your bone density, joint health, and injury prevention.
You develop better body mechanics, balance, and posture.
And maybe most important—you gain confidence. Confidence in your movement. Confidence in your body. Confidence to walk onto the gym floor knowing what to do — and how to do it.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about strength training, this is your chance to learn proper weight training technique—surrounded by supportive coaches and like-minded members.
How fit or strong do I need to be?
Les Mills Strength Development is designed to be inclusive and welcoming. It’s ideal for beginners who want to learn how to weigh train properly, as well as more experienced members looking to fine-tune their weight training technique or break through a strength plateau.
Each workout is scalable. You choose the weight, the intensity, and the progression. There’s plenty of coaching time built into the class so you can focus on getting the movement right—before loading up heavier.
Whether you’ve never touched a barbell or already train regularly in the gym, this class meets you at your level and helps you move forward.
How often should I do a Les Mills Strength Development class?
We recommend 2 classes per week to build strength, improve lifting skills, and see steady body-sculpting progress. This frequency fits perfectly alongside your other workouts—like cardio, yoga, or Les Mills classes—without overloading your muscles.
The beauty of Les Mills Strength Development is that it’s designed as a ‘learning to train’ journey, with a natural progression from week to week. That means the more consistently you show up, the better your results.

What are the main results I will see?
After just a few weeks of Les Mills Strength Development, here’s what members say they notice:
Stronger, more defined muscles – Lifting weights consistently leads to visible changes in strength and shape, especially in your legs, back, and arms.
Fat loss and better metabolism – You’ll burn between 500–700 calories per class, and keep burning after the session ends.
Improved technique – Learn how to lift weights safely with proper form—skills you’ll carry over to the gym floor or other fitness classes.
Increased power and endurance – The program is built to enhance both muscular strength and stamina over time.
Confidence with weights – This might be the biggest result of all. You’ll walk away from each class feeling more in control, more capable, and more ready to workout with weights—WITH CONFIDENCE.
