Les Mills and Trees for the Future Partner to Plant One Million Trees and Combat Climate Change sub-Saharan Africa

LES MILLS, a renowned global fitness leader, has partnered with Trees for the Future, a non-profit organisation, to launch an ambitious project to plant over a million trees during 2022 and 2023. The primary objective of this project is to combat climate change and enhance community livelihoods through reforestation efforts. By actively involving LES MILL’s members, instructors, and club partners in tree-planting initiatives, the company is significantly contributing to its charity partner’s ultimate goal of planting one billion trees by 2030. This initiative demonstrates the company’s commitment to creating a healthier planet and population, making the world a better place for everyone.

UK Pool Heats Water, Cuts Costs & Emissions with Tiny Data Centre Exmouth, England

Exmouth Leisure Centre in Devon (south west England) has become the first public swimming pool in the UK to benefit from the heat generated by a tiny data centre to reduce its energy costs. Deep Green, a start-up offering computing power for artificial intelligence and machine learning, installed a washing-machine-sized data centre into the community centre, which surrounded the computers with oil to capture the heat. The hot oil is then pumped into a heat exchanger to warm the water in the pool to around 30C (86F) for 60% of the pool’s operating time. This reduces the leisure centre’s gas requirements by 62%, saving an estimated £20,000 a year, and reducing annual carbon emissions by approximately 26 tonnes.

Workout for Water – Les Mills and UNICEF water infrastructure project

Workout for Water – Les Mills Africa

We are enlisting the help of the entire global Les Mills community, urging clubs and instructors to help create the single biggest fundraising effort the fitness industry has ever seen.

We are working to raise millions of dollars to support the invaluable work UNICEF is doing in Africa – the life-saving assistance the organisation is providing to people, and in particular refugee and displaced children, across the trouble hotspots in this region. Our key focus is to provide clean, safe water to all those in desperate need.
