Frequently Asked Questions

All you need to know about BODYPUMP HEAVY

What’s BODYPUMP HEAVY?

BODYPUMP HEAVY is tempo-based weightlifting that switches on your metabolic engine to build lean muscle like nothing else. Drawing on traditional lifting techniques, this powerful class challenges strength, builds lean muscle, and drives measurable performance gains. It’s simple to do and the slow tempo with lots of recovery periods allows for expert coaching, so you master form and technique.

Where can I try BODYPUMP HEAVY?

We’re previewing this new class at Les Mills Live in Amsterdam, Paris and Tokyo. We'll share more details around mid-October for the launch of the product into clubs and onto LESMILLS+

What’s the difference between BODYPUMP and BODYPUMP HEAVY?

BODYPUMP is about strength, strength endurance and functional conditioning. A full-body workout, using light to moderate weights, high reps and a variety of tempos. Continuous movement, minimal rest. The long blocks of work with minimal rest periods utilizes time under tension to spike changes in biochemistry*, resulting in changes in strength and muscle tone.

BODYPUMP HEAVY is tempo-based weightlifting using moderate to heavy weights, low complexity, and plenty of opportunity for recovery. This approach generates metabolic stress, sparking a cascade of adaptations within the target muscle groups. The focus on tempo amplifies team training elements building cohesion and motivation.

Will BODYPUMP HEAVY replace regular BODYPUMP?

No. BODYPUMP HEAVY™ is not designed to replace BODYPUMP™ but to run alongside it, providing a natural next step for those who want to lift heavier. BODYPUMP HEAVY™ and BODYPUMP™, meet different training needs and work best when scheduled together to provide both endurance and progression pathways.

Can I become a BODYPUMP HEAVY instructor?

Yes! We’ll share more information on this mid October. Keep an eye on our LESMILLS channels to get the latest updates.
