Les Mills is one of the most recognised fitness brands to come out of Aotearoa. Les Mills+ brings its group-class library (BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, LES MILLS BARRE, and more) to a streaming platform available on iOS, Android, web and TV. It's globally established, NZ-founded, and genuinely well-designed as a streaming fitness product. Easy Peasy is something quite different: a smaller, NZ-made app built specifically for postnatal mums, with every movement track reviewed by NZ-registered women's-health and pelvic-floor physiotherapists.
If you're weighing these two up as a NZ mum after birth, this comparison covers what matters most: whether each app has a dedicated postpartum program, what clinical oversight exists, how long sessions run, and how each platform thinks about your relationship with your body after having a baby. We've also included a section on where Les Mills+ genuinely wins, because a fair comparison serves you better than a sales pitch.
Pricing and features are accurate as of June 2026. Check each provider for current details.

Where Easy Peasy is different
Easy Peasy was designed from scratch for postnatal mums, not adapted from a general fitness platform. That distinction shapes everything about how the app is built, from the length of sessions to the language used inside the app.
Every track in Easy Peasy is reviewed by NZ-registered women's-health and pelvic-floor physiotherapists. Les Mills+ content has a sports-science foundation, but there is no confirmed postpartum physio endorsement. That matters when you're working with a body that has been through pregnancy and birth, where standard exercise guidance doesn't always apply: loading the pelvic floor at the wrong time, or returning to impact too early, can set recovery back rather than move it forward.
Sessions in Easy Peasy run to around 15 minutes or less. Les Mills+ classes typically run 30 to 55 minutes. For a new mum with broken sleep and an unpredictable schedule, the difference is real. A 15-minute session you can do while the baby naps is far more likely to become a lasting habit than a 45-minute BODYPUMP class that requires clearing a longer window of uninterrupted time.
Easy Peasy also has no weigh-ins, no before/after photos, no streak pressure, and no bounce-back language. The daily voice check-in is something you won't find in Les Mills+: a moment to connect with how you're actually feeling, not just how many reps you completed. Les Mills+ is built around the energy and culture of group fitness classes, which is a genuine strength for the right person, but a different headspace entirely to gentle postpartum recovery.
Both Easy Peasy and Les Mills International are products of Aotearoa. But Easy Peasy is built specifically for NZ mums, with the care team terminology (your LMC, your midwife), the cultural context, and the idiom that reflects how New Zealand women actually talk about birth and recovery.
When Les Mills+ is the better choice
Les Mills+ is a genuinely good product for the right person at the right time, and it's worth being honest about that.
If you love high-energy group fitness classes (BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, LES MILLS GRIT, LES MILLS BARRE, and more) and want to recreate that gym-class energy at home, Les Mills+ does that very well. The production quality is high, the class variety is broad, and you can stream directly to your TV.
If you are past early recovery and have been cleared to return to structured exercise by your LMC, GP, or women's-health physio, and you already had an existing relationship with Les Mills classes before or during pregnancy, this platform is a natural place to pick back up. The transition from gym Les Mills to at-home Les Mills+ is seamless.
If you want a catalogue you can grow into over many months and years, well beyond the postnatal period, Les Mills+ offers that breadth. Easy Peasy is built for the postnatal period specifically, which is both its strength and its scope.
Common questions
Does Les Mills+ have a postnatal program?
Les Mills+ does not have a dedicated structured postnatal program. It includes some post-pregnancy workout content and pregnancy modification guides within its library, but there is no purpose-built, progressive postpartum program equivalent to what you'd find in an app designed around postnatal recovery. If a structured postnatal program is what you're after, you'll want an app built specifically around postpartum movement.
What is the main difference between Easy Peasy and Les Mills+?
Easy Peasy is built specifically for postnatal mums, with every track reviewed by NZ-registered women's-health and pelvic-floor physiotherapists, sessions of around 15 minutes, no equipment, and an anti-scale philosophy. Les Mills+ is a broad-audience group fitness streaming platform with a large class catalogue and high production quality. Both have NZ roots, but their purpose and target audience are quite different.
Is Easy Peasy available now?
Easy Peasy is currently in early access and not yet publicly launched. You can join the waitlist to be among the first to access it when it opens. Pricing will be announced at launch.
Is Les Mills+ suitable after a C-section?
Les Mills+ does not include confirmed dedicated C-section recovery content. Before returning to any exercise program after a C-section, check with your midwife, GP, or LMC, as every birth and recovery is different and standard fitness guidance often doesn't account for abdominal surgery. Easy Peasy is designed with C-section recovery in mind across all its content.
