Save 15% on Les Mills home workout bundles that buyers are giving 'two thumbs up'

Daily Mirror07-05-2025

Fitness fans can enjoy a world of workouts that can be done anywhere, while saving money on gym equipment that is 'worth every penny.'
In a world where time is tight and fitness options are endless, finding the right workout can be tricky. From lifting weights to choreographed group fitness classes finding the best schedule to suit your lifestyle can be exhausting before you even begin.
Another option is to work out at home, allowing fitness fans to take control of their health journey in their own time. Whether it's boosting cardiovascular health, building lean muscle, torching calories or improving mental wellbeing, working out at home can be just as effective as sweating it out in the gym.
To make sure exercising away from the gym is just as effective, the fitness experts at Les Mills have designed a digital platform that brings the same expert instruction and routines from the gym straight to living rooms. To get the most out of the Les Mills+ home workouts, the brand is currently offering 15% off selected work out bundles using code UKAFF15.
As a big fan of Les Mills fitness classes myself, the thought of doing them at home is very tempting. My only concern is would I be disciplined enough to whip out my weights or get body pumping at home without being pushed - with money off, I think I might actually love it.
I didn't realise that the Les Mills+ app offers a library of more than 2,000 online workouts, covering a wide range of disciplines including strength training, cardio, yoga, HIIT, Pilates, dance and even martial arts. The platform also offers structured workout plans, fitness challenges, guided mindfulness and meditation sessions, as well as expert nutritional guidance.
With a strong focus on accessibility and support, it aims to keep users motivated and engaged on their fitness journey from the comfort of home.
Of course, it's not only the experts at Les Mills who can help amplify home workouts. Peloton famously offers indoor cycling subscriptions that can be enjoyed on the gold-standard Peloton spin bikes from the comfort of home.
A firm favourite with many Brits looking to keep fit, Peloton bikes cost in excess of £1300, with subscription fees starting from £12.99 per month.
If you would rather create your own home gym that you can customise, Amazon has lots of individual elements to choose from including weight benches, barbells, yoga mats and more.
For anyone looking to start practising yoga or Pilates at home, Argos has the Pro Fitness PVC Yoga Set for £18.99. This set is cheap but cheerful, and buyers have called it "perfect for beginners."
Fitness fans can currently s ave 15% on selected bundles from Les Mills, both of which include a free limited-time subscription to the LES MILLS+ app.
Yoga Pack
Practicing yoga and Pilates at home helps create a peaceful, distraction-free environment to focus on mind and body connections, reduce stress and improve strength, flexibility and balance.
Reduced from £114.56 to £89.99, the Les Mills Yoga bundle features an award-winning MBX™ Mat — a dual-surface, eco-friendly exercise mat recognised by Men's Health Lab UK in 2021 for its performance in yoga, Pilates and high-impact training.
Also included is a versatile yoga strap, which doubles as a mat carrier and a tool to support stretching and flexibility and a complimentary three-month LES MILLS+ Premium Membership.
Shoppers who have already invested in the MBX™ Mat, one part of the bundle, seem to be impressed with it. One buyer said: "I knew it would be special and as expected it just goes the extra mile. Way better quality than any other mat I've ever used."
Another described it as being: " Worth every penny," adding: "This is really high quality equipment and I find myself working out more because the equipment is easier to use than the cheaper work around stuff I struggled with for a few months. I couldn't recommend these products more."
Some buyers however, raised concerns about the quality of the mat. One said: "It's slippery and sometimes I would prefer to not use the mat."
The Works Premium bundle
For anyone looking to create their own dedicated gym space at home, The Works Premium bundle claims to be the 'ultimate home gym experience.'
The bundle is made up of high-performance, gym-grade equipment designed to help build strength and boost endurance. Ideal for LES MILLS BODYPUMP™, LES MILLS CORE™, and total-body strength training, it is versatile enough to elevate every workout.
While a little on the pricey side at £949.99 after discount, it could still work out cheaper than a monthly membership for some upmarket sports clubs and health centres.
The Premium Bundle includes:
SMARTBAR™ Barbell (1x) for quick and easy weight transitions
Weight Plates:
1kg / 2.2lb (2x)
2.5kg / 5.5lb (2x)
5kg / 11lb (2x)
SMARTSTEP™ System that includes 1 platform and 4 red risers for step, strength, and plyo workouts
SMARTBAND™ (1x) to add targeted resistance for core and mobility training
MBX™ Mat (1x) which is a high-density mat for comfort and support during floor work
Vertical Storage Rack (1x) to keep space tidy and equipment organised
Also included in the package is a free 12-month LES MILLS+ Premium membership.
Fitness fans who have switched from regular barbells to the SMARTBAR™ Barbell, which is the main component of the bundle, have been impressed. With a 4-8 out of five-star rating on the website, the convenience of the high-performance weight set and bar seems to be a big hit with weight lovers.
One buyer said: "So easy to slide on and off. Wish every gym had these sets." Another added: "I use these weights almost daily, mostly for biceps curls. Easy and sage to use, and easy to store."
A third user was particularly happy with the design, saying: "Self clip on makes it very easy to switch between weights. Also, I love the gator head spinning mechanism which takes away less impact on my wrists when doing clean and press. Two thumbs up!"
Some were concerned about the price of the Barbell. One buyer explained: "Good quality weights but cost way too much! I payed over $500 just for the smartbar and weights! Nothing else was included…Extremely pricey although I do love 'em!"
The SMARTSTEP system is also popular for high intensity training, receiving a rating of 4.8 out of five-star rating.
While it remains to be seen whether I have the will power to work out at home, I'm going to think about jumping in with the Les Mills+ app while sweating it out at my next RPM class.

Kids may get wrong ADHD diagnosis based on 'arbitrary thresholds', experts warn

Many people are still living with ADHD without a diagnosis or support but an NHS-funded review suggests the real numbers with the condition is not on the rise Diagnosing children with ADHD is based on 'arbitrary thresholds' which could cause the NHS to wrongly prescribe children drugs for the condition, experts warn. Around three million Brits are thought to have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and despite heightened awareness of the condition many remain undiagnosed. But an NHS-funded review has found 'evolving diagnosis criteria' may be in part why more people are being diagnosed but could find no evidence of a real increase in people with the condition since 2020. Leading experts insist the NHS is still playing 'catch up' after generations when there was no recognition of ADHD and many girls in particular remain undiagnosed. ‌ ‌ Study author Dr Alex Martin, of King's College London, said: 'While assessments and help-seeking may be increasing, our study has shown significant gaps in the tracking of ADHD prevalence, resulting in a frustratingly unclear picture. The best data we have suggests that there has been no meaningful increase in ADHD prevalence.' ADHD is characterised by difficulty focusing on things, hyperactivity and impulsivity. A previous study on seven million Brits showed there had been a 20-fold increase in people receiving a diagnosis for ADHD between 2000 and 2018. Among men aged 18 to 29 there was a 50-fold increase. But experts warn clinicians may feel pressured to make 'artificial decisions' as changing cultural norms drive increased demand for children struggling at school to be diagnosed and get support. They warn about the risk of children wrongly being given ADHD drugs and say clinicians should be able to 'undiagnose' them if they improve. Prof Phillip Shaw, director at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London, said: 'Giving medications for ADHD to people who don't have it - that's never a good idea. They are generally very safe medications… but they do have side effects and they have to be monitored.' Jamie Oliver bravely reveals kids' health diagnosis as he opens up about 'bonkers' family The NHS is pulling together better national data on ADHD which can significantly interfere with daily life and development. The neurodevelopmental condition can affect things like schoolwork, daily tasks and social interactions. The new paper by King's College London is the first systematic review of ADHD prevalence to be published since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and looked at 40 studies. ‌ Prof Edmund Sonuga-Barke, of King's College London, said: 'The history of ADHD in the UK is one of chronic under recognition so the increase in diagnoses we've seen over the last ten or so years is really a resetting or a catch up. And there's actually plenty more to do in this regard.' However Prof Sonuga-Barke said diagnosis uses 'essentially arbitrary ADHD thresholds' that are 'not based on any natural, biological or clinical boundary'. He added: 'This forces us to consider how those thresholds are socially determined and culturally dependent. The fluidity around boundaries between ADHD and not ADHD inevitably leave clinicians having to make rather artificial decisions about very fine margins.' ‌ Prof Phillip Shaw, who is one of the country's leading experts but was not involved in the research, said: 'For kids who are in the grey area there are three options here; to make a diagnosis or not, or often we just wait and watch. And for those kids in particular we always start educating the family and the child about what ADHD is and seeing if there are strategies they can use at home to help them. We also place an enormous emphasis on accommodations at school for the hyperactive kid [such as]... let them do their work standing up, maybe have preferential seating for inattentive kids, do things to break it [the work] up. You'll find all really good teachers already do this.' People with the neuro-developmental disorder may have trouble concentrating or sitting still, while other symptoms include being easily distracted, forgetfulness, finding it hard to follow instructions or organise time, and making impulsive decisions. Best estimates from a 2018 study suggests true prevalence of ADHD among children could be 5%. Back then 2.5% of boys and 0.7% of girls in the UK had been diagnosed but this is likely to have increased since then. An estimated 2-3% of adults had ADHD but only around 1% had a diagnosis. Prof Phillip Shaw warned children with other mental health problems such as anxiety could be mistakenly labelled as having ADHD. He added: 'My hunch is that there's such a huge awareness of ADHD that it's often used as a language of distress. It's sometimes used to express that children and young people are struggling, particularly at school, and need help. And of course, when a child is having problems that are impacting their life in a sustained way, they deserve a full mental health assessment, even if the final diagnosis doesn't end up being ADHD.' ‌ Researchers admitted all but four of the studies included in the review were 'poor quality' and more research is needed. However surveys included did suggest there has been 'no significant rise' in the number of people who actually have the condition since 2020. Social media platforms like TikTok have played a role in raising awareness. Earlier this month NHS England estimated for the first time that 2,498,000 people in England may have ADHD, which includes those without a diagnosis. An estimated 741,000 are children and young people aged five to 24. More than half a million people (549,000) were waiting for an ADHD assessment at the end of March 2025, up from 416,000 a year earlier. Catherine Hinwood, NHS England's ADHD Programme Director said: 'This research backs the long-term vision set out in our recently published ADHD data improvement plan to have accurate national data on all aspects of ADHD – and we published our first ever national ADHD data set including estimated prevalence figures last week. Patients are waiting too long for an ADHD assessment and diagnosis and that's why the NHS has also launched an independent taskforce to investigate the challenges facing services and help them manage the rising numbers of referrals, with support from across society.' This study was funded by NHS England and was conducted by the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Emergency Preparedness and Response. It is published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.

BREAKING NEWS Amazon recalls thousands of products that can cause neurological problems in your kids

Thousands of faucets sold on Amazon have been recalled because they could cause lead to seep into the water, which can be extremely harmful for children. Consumer Affairs recently announced that 10,000 faucets sold on the popular online shopping site can expose users to the toxic metal that can cause neurological issues in kids and infants. Lead can specifically cause decreased cognitive performance, attention-related behavioral issues and lower IQ, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Jeremy Clarkson's daughter made Lisa Hogan 'burst into tears'

The 51-year-old former model and co-star on Amazon's Clarkson's Farm opened up about her life with the ex-Top Gear host, revealing that despite not being engaged, their blended family shares a close bond. Lisa explained that Emily, a social media influencer and author, has previously spoken about her own daughter in such a kind way in the past. I've said it before, but I think Clarkson's Farm is my favourite show of the past 5 years. It's funny and engaging, you learn a heap, and it's done such a great job on showing the world the plight of farmers and how essential they are. And, of course, Jezza is Jezza ❤️ She said: "Emily has this podcast called Shall I Delete That? and she spoke about my daughter in such a sweet way that I burst out crying. They've known each other for nine years, and I think they really care about each other." She also gave insights into Jeremy's personality away from the cameras, describing him as endlessly curious and brimming with energy, even over the smallest things. When discussing the prospect of marriage, Lisa expressed contentment with their relationship as it is, telling the Daily Mail: "Mrs Clarkson? No, thank you, I like Lisa Hogan. "We decided not to have children together." "We're at a stage where we are not going to have kids. I'm just happy pootling along. I think because of our age, it's much easier." Recommended reading: As the new series of Clarkson's Farm hits the screens, Jeremy's health sparked even more concern following his heart surgery last year to fit two stents. Reflecting on the latest episodes, Jeremy observed how he appeared increasingly unwell as the series went on. Speaking to The Sun, Jeremy said: "You can see me becoming more and more ill as the days go on, because I just lose my sense of humour, lose my ability to stay calm. "I get in a proper old panic. I didn't know at the time. I knew I wasn't being me. Because if you don't sleep, it very quickly has an effect."
