Les Mills Tattoos
Last Updated: Tuesday 1st November 2011
Here are the “official” Les Mills tattoo designs:
BODYPUMP™
Immense, balanced strength is depicted with this design, which features two ‘mangopares’ or hammerhead sharks – the traditional symbol for strength and power.
RPM™
RPM’s ‘power’ is captured here with symbolism depicting the ‘mangopare’ or hammerhead shark. Traditionally, mangopare was seen as a source of huge strength and determination – and was eaten before battle because it was considered to contain the shark’s adrenalin which would enhance their warrior-like abilities.
BODYSTEP™
A sense of uplifting is communicated with this design. It shows the koru growing larger and larger, stepping ever upwards in size and strength – and achieving a higher state of being.
BODYJAM™
BODYJAM’s uniquely infectious attitude is shown here with a densely symbolic design featuring different traditional elements feeding off each other. Rhythm is also symbolised here with extensive use of the teeth-like tara-tara shapes.
BODYCOMBAT™
The notion of ‘energy unleashed’ is depicted here with a dramatic, sweeping explosion of korus – which themselves also refer to ‘renewal’. The design also incorporates ‘tara-tara’ – or the teeth of the mythical taniwha which represent formidable strength.
BODYBALANCE™
The key symbolism depicted here is of balanced energy, with a converging yin-yang design spiraling around a central spring – or primal energy source. The inclusion of ‘tara-tara’ or teeth in groupings of three symbolise the past, present and future.
BODYATTACK™
Here, the outwardly spiralling koru motif depicts powerful energy being released from within. Shown this way, it also references a collision of growth and change.

Please note: These tattoos were created many years ago by then members of the LesMills team. As such, none are available for more recently added programs like Vive or programs created by other companies. The images provided in the .zip file are the highest resolution I have.

Something’s wrong with my eye, I can’t differentiate them except for full moon and crescent
I’m really lack of art cells in my body
[...] habe ich sie wieder gefunden! Gut, dass es noch andere LesMills-Freunde gibt, die möglichst alles wissen wollen. Thanks [...]
I love body attack and body pump , and I really want a tatto, is there any way no combine both?
I’ve just seen these tatoos and they are totally different to what I imagined….
I thought the Tatoos would have the writing ‘BODY COMBAT’ TM…. etc…
What, no Bodyvive?
Thank you so much for providing all that to us :-)
Kia kahaaaaaaa from Greece
Hi friends. I have the BodyPump tatto on my left calf. These came out sometime before release 62, when Susan and Emma had them in the master dvd. It kinda started a craze back then…we are on release 79 now. I believe they came out before BodyVive was here which would be the reason there is not one. Peace. Kia Kaha.
I love combat one, thinking about getting tattoo, but want on small scale, would have to slide shark teeth out some, would the meaning be same,??😂
