We are honoured to be tasked with helping expand its offerings into new markets and audiences, as Les Mills looks to sustain its incredible growth trajectory.”
Phillip Mills, CEO of Les Mills, said: “Our mission is simple; we want to create a fitter planet and to do this we need more clubs and facilities delivering Les Mills programmes.
“We know we can’t achieve this alone and that’s why we have engaged gyro to help us create a truly global and world-class business-to-business strategy which will propel us and our club partners to realising 20 million live workouts every week by the year 2020.
“Growing our brand presence and penetration in new and existing markets is critical to building a fitter business.”
