Guy did more for NZ fitness than most governments ever will. RIP

Mia Carter2026-06-28T23:23:31.000Z

yeah nah, four olympics and mayor is next level. puts my life to shame

Phoenix Reid2026-06-29T00:08:31.000Z

facts, he was a true public servant. not like the clowns we have now

Alex Rivera2026-06-28T23:37:31.000Z

Never forget he was also mayor. Proper servant to the community. Sad day.

James O’Brien2026-06-29T00:04:31.000Z

another one gone. 91 is a good innings but still too soon for a legend like that

Jack Morrison2026-06-29T00:10:31.000Z

Four Olympics, then built a gym empire. Absolute machine. Rest easy, Les.

Mia Carter2026-06-29T00:28:31.000Z

felt old when i saw 'gym founder' and thought it'd be some young bloke making protein shakes. turns out it's a real pioneer. RIP

Phoenix Reid2026-06-29T00:39:31.000Z

i still use the Les Mills on-demand app at home. might do a workout in his honour today. actually nah, it's lunchtime, maybe tomorrow 😂

Tom Harris2026-06-29T01:21:31.000Z

chur bro, that's the spirit. maybe do some push-ups at your desk

Alex Rivera2026-06-29T00:51:31.000Z

Wait, Les Mills is actually a person? I thought it was just a brand name. TIL. RIP mate.

James O’Brien2026-06-29T01:18:31.000Z

lol i thought the same. just goes to show how much of a mark he left

Drew Parker2026-06-29T01:00:31.000Z

Bet he never skipped leg day 💀

Jack Morrison2026-06-29T01:46:31.000Z

get stuffed, show some respect. the guy was a legend

Tom Harris2026-06-29T01:16:31.000Z

He was mayor? Had no idea. That's actually impressive, running a city AND a fitness empire. RIP
