The Hague hosted the Ultimate Global BODYCOMBAT United Event 2026, an international charity festival—one of the largest events in the world of group fitness. The annual forum brings together participants from around the world in support of the fight against cancer.
This year, 2,000 people attended the five-hour Les Mills BODYCOMBAT workout. Presenters included 150 licensed instructors from 50 countries.
Elena Grigoryants represented Turkmenistan at the festival, the country’s only internationally certified Les Mills instructor. This was her third consecutive participation: she has been performing under the Turkmen flag since 2024. At the opening ceremony, Elena once again appeared with the national flag, and during her performance before her signature Roundhouse Kick, she addressed the crowd, “Greetings from Ashgabat!”—receiving a wave of energy and applause.
Elena is licensed for five Les Mills programs: BODYCOMBAT and BODYBALANCE (since 2019), GRIT (since 2020), BODYPUMP (since 2021), and BODYPUMP HEAVY (since 2025), as well as Advanced status in BODYCOMBAT. Since 2022, she has worked as an international presenter and has conducted training sessions in the Netherlands, Germany, Kazakhstan, and the UAE.
Official Les Mills programs are available in Turkmenistan at the only licensed studio in Ashgabat, where Elena teaches regular classes.
