LES MILLS GRIT is now available to stream anywhere with LES MILLS On Demand! This advanced, extreme workout is 30 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
What is LES MILLS On Demand GRIT?
LES MILLS offers 2 classes – GRIT Strength and GRIT Cardio.
Both are extreme and for advanced exercisers, and both have incredible music to push you further!
These classes are 30 minute HIIT workouts designed to help you get max results in less time! You’ll have to give it your absolute all for 30 minutes, but the workouts are designed to take your strength, speed, and cardiovascular fitness to the next level.
What’s HIIT?
HIIT, or high intensity interval training, is where you push yourself to a 9 or 10 on an excursion scale of 1-10 for a short period of time. Then, you’re allowed to recover. Then you do it again – hence the interval part of it.
This type of training has been shown to be really effective in seeing physical changes faster. You can read more about HIIT workouts and why they work here.
What to Expect in a GRIT Workout
Both GRIT Cardio and GRIT Strength are intense! You should expect plyometric moves, agility exercises, and weighted exercises like squats, lunges, clean and presses, and deadrows.
As for the cardio moves – there are a lot of burpees, mountain climbers, and plyo-type jumps.

Is there a modifier?
While the workout is designed to fit your level of fitness, there isn’t a designated modifier. So if you’re new to working out or not familiar with the moves mentioned above, I’d suggest trying something a little easier first and build up to a one of these classes.

LES MILLS suggests doing a GRIT class 2x a week because of how intense it is.
