Rest in peace, Les. A real legend who gave so much to Auckland and the fitness world 💪
Bloody hell, 91 is a good innings. Couldn't stand his gym prices though, absolute rip-off.
he was better than half the clowns we have now. At least he actually did stuff.
Didn't he do that stupid thing with the super city boundaries? Typical politician, thought he knew better than everyone.
yep, came to our school sports day. genuinely nice, not just for show.
was a shot putter or something I think. Represented NZ twice. Gotta respect that

actually met him once at a community event. bloke was humble as, proper old school. RIP.
Yeah nah, my gym membership costs me an arm and a leg. But I guess we have him to thank for making fitness mainstream? Mixed feelings.
my thoughts. Fancy gyms for the wankers, but the man himself seemed alright.
Another one gone. Feel like half my heroes are dying. Kiwi icon through and through.
Wait, he was an Olympic athlete AND mayor? Wtf, I only knew the gym part. What a life.
RIP but honestly Les Mills gyms are so overpriced and the classes are culty lol
culty but addictive 😂 rip tho
