I started choosing the music for BODYBALANCE™/BODYFLOW™ then too, and working more and more on the choreography of that program with my mother Jackie. I kept working at the gym and shadowing him throughout university and started full time at LMI a week after I graduated, as an Education Assistant, then took over from Dad a couple of years later when he stopped in the creative department. At the same time, Phillip, my father, was letting me shadow him at Les Mills International when he was Creative Director – sitting in on music and choreography sessions, trialling classes etc. The clothes store, cleaning sunbeds (early on when it was still cool to sunbed), processing membership forms in finance, assisting the Group Fitness Manager, and behind reception. I worked at the gym from the age of 12 – in almost every department for a time. I work for my family’s company, so I was literally born into the industry. When and how did you get started in fitness?

I think many of us can agree that music is a huge source of workout motivation. ![]() Read on for my interview with Diana Mils, Creative Director and the designer of the iTunes Les Mills album: RUN and LOADED. This post is part of my partnership with Les Mills, the creator of some of my very favorite workout formats. ![]()
