LES MILLS BODYPUMP
The Original Barbell Workout for Rapid Fitness Results
What is BODYPUMP?
BODYPUMP is the original barbell full-body workout that builds lean muscle tone, increases strength, and burns calories fast. Using light to moderate weights with high repetitions, BODYPUMP gives you a total body workout that leaves you feeling challenged and motivated.

The Rep Effect™
BODYPUMP uses a revolutionary training approach called The Rep Effect™ – lifting lighter weights at higher repetitions. This scientifically-proven method builds lean muscle, increases strength, and accelerates metabolism without creating bulk. You’ll fatigue muscles using light barbells and weight plates, challenging all major muscle groups through compound and isolated movements.

What You’ll Need

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I get bulky from lifting weights?
A: No. BODYPUMP uses light weights and high repetitions, which creates lean, toned muscle without bulk. You’d need much heavier weights and different training to build significant size.
Q: How much weight should I use?
A: Start light! Use just the bar (6-9kg) or add 1.25-2.5kg per side. You should complete each track with good form. Gradually increase as you get stronger.
Q: I’ve never lifted weights before. Is BODYPUMP for me?
A: Absolutely! BODYPUMP is perfect for beginners. Instructors demonstrate modifications, and you control your weight selection. Everyone starts somewhere.
Q: How often should I do BODYPUMP?
A: 2-3 times per week is optimal for results. Allow 48 hours between sessions for muscle recovery.
Q: Can BODYPUMP help with weight loss?
A: Yes! BODYPUMP burns calories during class and increases metabolism for hours afterward. Combined with cardio and proper nutrition, it’s highly effective for fat loss.
Q: What if I can’t complete a track?
