The workout targets all major muscle groups using light to moderate weights, helping improve strength, endurance and muscle tone while delivering an energising group fitness experience.

What are the benefits of Les Mills BodyPump?

Les Mills BodyPump training improves muscular strength, endurance and overall conditioning. The high-repetition barbell format helps develop lean muscle while burning calories and increasing overall work capacity. Regular classes can also support stronger bones and improved joint stability.

How many calories can you burn in a BodyPump class?

A typical class can burn between 400 and 600 calories depending on workout intensity and individual fitness levels. The combination of strength training and continuous movement creates an effective calorie-burning workout.
