Jouhs has come to from Les Mills in New Zealand. Very good instructor. Would highly recommend to anyone needing new instructors for their team. Very engaging and entertaining, yet clear and precise at the same time.

Jouhs was a very good and popular instructor during his time in London. He taught Les Mills: Grit, Core and Sprint to a high standard, was always punctual and reliable. He also supported other classes by attending them when possible..and this also helped his own class numbers as members built a close relationship with him. I have no doubt Jouhs will do a great job in any role you employ him in.

To whom it may concern I had the pleasure of recruiting Jouhs Van Leeuwen approximately 10 years ago when I was the Group Fitness Manager of Les Mills Wellington Taranaki Street New Zealand and Group Fitness Manager at the Terrace Wellington. During this time Jouhs was teaching CXWORX now known as Les Mills Core. He was also interested in GRIT. He was professional, athletic, confident, reliable and friendly to members and staff. Respectful of the Clubs Values, a Team player and showed promise as a Rising Star in the Les Mills World of Instructors. I would certainty recommend recruiting him to be part of your team.
