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.
