A CHIMP returned to his homeland after traveling to many lands.
To his surprise, he found his friends and family often falling sick and feeling lethargic due to sub-health issues. They aspire to get fit and healthy, but find it hard to exercise due to low motivation. The CHIMP decided to rally his friends to start a fitness movement that embodies fun and cohesiveness.
This fitness movement encourages the CHAMPion in everyone, inspiring you to become better versions of yourself compared to the first time you stepped into CHIMPCHAMP.
This is how CHIMPCHAMP evolved, inspired by you, and created to encourage you to achieve a fitter you via consistency and fun.
Our
Story
Why the event?
The intention of THE CHAMPs is not simply to run another competition.
It is about inspiring more Les Mills passion and showing what it means to go beyond our regular teaching schedules and workshop attendance.
This event is a celebration of:
-
Passion – Demonstrating our love for the programs and the drive to share that energy with others.
-
Commitment to Progress – Reinforcing that as ChampCoaches, we never stop learning and striving for better.
-
Continuous Improvement – Engaging in a process of reflection, practice, and refinement, and allowing those efforts to shine through in how we deliver our classes.
-
Authenticity – Bringing not just technique, but our personalities and unique presence to the stage.
At CHIMPCHAMP, we believe that growth happens when coaches are given the chance to push beyond the comfort zone. THE CHAMPs is our way of creating that platform — a space for continuous self-improvement, honest feedback, and the opportunity to inspire others by modelling what it truly means to live the Les Mills ethos.
Let’s enjoy and let our awesome vibes flow!
STAY AWESOME! STAY CHAMPION!
