Les Mills and adidas joined forces to showcase their shared vision for the future of fitness at Les Mills Live Berlin held October 19-20th – inspiring training communities through high-octane workouts and infusing the world-renowned festival with Berlin’s iconic nightclub energy for a one-of-a-kind ‘fitness rave’.
With over 3,000 attendees, the experience connected the fitness community through innovative and joyful training experiences that brought together high-tech, culture, music, trainers, and high-performance adidas products to support fitness fans at every stage of their training journey.
The event showcased various elements of this vision for the future of training, ranging from an immersive VR workout leveraging state-of-the-art technology, to the Playground and Recovery Rave, which offered athletes a different take on recovery by shaking off the burn to Les Mills’ expansive roster of music artists. Guests were also treated to a special live show by Kaleena Zanders, and a Sunday Service-style performance with Noah Slee and Berlin-based choir A Song For You.
Les Mills Pilates was also unveiled in Berlin, marking the first time the new program has been experienced by the global Les Mills and adidas fitness community. Mixing unique choreography, music and the latest exercise science, the 45-minute program is designed to improve core strength and endurance, mobility, and overall wellness. Under the expert guidance of their trainer, participants build technique and control around slow, simple movements. Research led by a team of experts at Canada’s University of the Fraser Valley found that Les Mill Pilates participants experienced a 61% increase in abdominal endurance after just eight weeks.
Complementing the wealth of Les Mills workouts delivered at Les Mills Live Berlin – and as part of adidas’ commitment to help every member of the training community realize their strength – the collaboration highlighted several high-performance adidas training products. Worn by Les Mills trainers, the Dropset 3 combines a number of technology features, such as the TPU sidewall and geoFit construction for additional stability during high-intensity, strength-based workouts such as Les Mills Ceremony. Whilst the Optime apparel collection brought comfort to the fore with its four-way stretch fabric powered by Lycra Sport technology, offering a second skin fit while participating in workouts like Les Mill Pilates and Les Mills Shapes.
The Les Mills Live 2024 world tour continues after Berlin and is set to travel across other areas of Europe, including Madrid, Athens and Cyprus, followed by Riyadh.
