BODYPUMP HEAVY™ is tempo-based weightlifting that switches on your metabolic engine to build lean muscle like nothing else. Drawing on traditional lifting techniques, each 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. Driven by iconic music and group energy, it turns traditional weightlifting into a fun, social, and addictive experience.
BODYPUMP HEAVY is backed by the science of BODYPUMP™ – the world’s most loved strength class for over 30 years. Every session floods your system with feelings of confidence and vitality – it's challenging, energizing, and keeps you coming back for more.
We’re previewing this new class at Les Mills Live in Amsterdam, Paris and Tokyo. More details around when BODYPUMP HEAVY will be available in clubs and on LES MILLS+ will be coming soon.
BODYPUMP HEAVY is for everyone! The simple, slow movements with long recoveries between sets mean there’s no need to race to match the beat or worry about falling behind. Beginners can start light, learn great form and technique, and build at their own speed, guided by expert Les Mills certified instructors. Experienced lifters can break through plateaus and get even stronger.
BODYPUMP builds strength endurance and lean muscle growth using the Rep Effect – where you do over 1,000 reps in a single class. BODYPUMP HEAVY takes the proven psychology of group training and combines it with slower weightlifting. You focus on the same foundational lifts, but the slower speeds and longer recoveries, which allows for increased focus on technique and the ability to lift heavier.
All you need is comfortable workout clothes, supportive shoes, a drink bottle and a sweat towel. You’ll use a weight bar and a variety of weight plates – the more weight plates you have on hand the better.
Yes! We’ll share more information on this mid October. Keep an eye on our Les Mills channels to get the latest updates.
