Les Mills Instructor Apparel: Custom Class Kit by Program
Quick Answer- Les Mills programs span strength, combat, dance, cycle, and core formats — each with its own visual
- Studio-branded instructor apparel reads as part of the studio team, not just a Les Mills license
- Match the apparel to the format: tank for cardio dance, fitted tee for strength, performance tee for cycle
- No minimum, so a single instructor pays the same per-piece rate as a full multi-format team
Les Mills programs span strength, combat, dance, cycle, and core. The licensing covers the choreography and the music, but the instructor apparel is on the studio. A studio-branded instructor kit reads as part of the team and gives the studio identity beyond the program license. Below is the per-format apparel guide.
Apparel by Program Format
- Strength format: Fitted moisture-wicking tee or tank. Reads athletic, shows movement during demos.
- Combat format: Fitted tank or fitted tee in bold colors. Reads fighter-aesthetic, breathes through the high-cardio sections.
- Cardio dance format: Fitted tank in bright color. Same logic as dance fitness apparel.
- Indoor cycle format: Fitted moisture-wicking tee or tank. Same logic as a spin instructor kit.
- Core format: Fitted tee or long-sleeve in studio color. Less cardio, can lean cotton-blend.
Studio Branding First, License Reference Second
The studio logo goes on the chest. The Les Mills program reference (if used) goes on the back or sleeve in smaller text. Reverse that order and the instructor reads as a Les Mills employee instead of a studio team member.
Keep the front clean and studio-forward. Members remember the studio brand, not the program brand, when they recommend the studio to a friend.

Universal Tee vs Per-Format Tees
Two approaches work for a multi-format studio.
- Universal studio tee: One tee design across every Les Mills format. Simple, cheap, instantly recognizable.
- Per-format tee: Different tee per format (or per program category). Helps members spot the right instructor at schedule check-in. More inventory complexity.
Fabric and Cut
Moisture-wicking performance fabric is essential for every Les Mills program except core. Fitted cuts are essential for the cardio and dance formats. Browse performance tees and tanks.
Order Math for a Multi-Format Team
| Team size | Performance tee base | Total base cost |
|---|
| 4-instructor team | $23.86 | $95 |
| 10-instructor team | $23.86 | $239 |
| 25-instructor club | $23.86 | $597 |
Studios that also sell the same tee to members earn margin on top. A 300-member studio with 80 annual member purchases at $12 margin clears $960 a year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the studio reference Les Mills program names on the apparel?
Reference the program names if the licensing terms allow. Keep the studio logo dominant and the program reference secondary.
What is the minimum order?
No minimum. A single-instructor 4-piece kit pays the same per-piece rate as a 25-instructor club.
How fast does the order ship?
About a week from order to delivery with free US shipping included.
Can the same shop run instructor tees and member tees?
Yes. Add a "Member" tier on the same shop link. Studio earns margin on member purchases.
