Les Mills, renowned for its group exercise programs, is putting a whole new twist on carb-loading with its launch of ‘Spaghetti Legs’ pasta, proving that you can work out hard and still pasta time indulging in your favorite comfort food. The New Zealand-based fitness brand is stirring the pot by encouraging gym buffs to “get sweaty, then eat spaghetti,” ensuring that leg day never goes unrewarded.
The company has introduced these tasty whole wheat noodles to kick off the celebration of its new Functional Strength workout, which is designed to beef up your lower body strength with impressive gains—boosting squat strength by 20% and jump height by 19% over eight weeks. The regime mixes heavy lifting with functional training to not just build muscle but to also enhance overall athleticism.

The launch was marked by a special Spaghetti Legs class led by the workout’s co-creator, Ben Main, streamed live on Les Mills’ Instagram. The session gave followers a sneak peek of the program and a chance to snag some of this limited-edition pasta. After all, research shows that eating pasta can make you happy.
Spaghetti Legs pasta is part of Les Mills’ Choose Happy campaign, crafted with the creative minds at nice&frank. This initiative is all about injecting workouts with fun and flexibility, responding to the desires of Gen Z for workout experiences that bring more smiles and choices.
Alice Atherton, Les Mills’ head of brand, shares that fitness should be an enjoyable part of life, not a chore. “Spaghetti Legs is the latest example of us subverting expectations of a fitness brand to provide playful entry points for people to start their workout journey and reap the rewards of an active lifestyle,” Atherton describes.
