BODYPUMP – Challenge yourself with the original barbell class that strengthens and tones your entire body!

What is BODYPUMP?

A rapid fat-burning class that uses barbells to give you the fastest way to tone and condition muscles! After an exhaustive study, BODYPUMP was verified by the University of Auckland as providing the fastest body fat loss of any fitness class.

What do I need to bring?

• Comfortable workout clothes & gym shoes
• Drink bottle & towel
• Attitude!
• We supply everything else.

When will I see results?

Once you've started BODYPUMP your nerves will soon get better at telling your muscles what to do. Your muscles, with their tendons and insertions, adapt more slowly. But you'll notice strength gains as your body gets used to lifting weight. After about six weeks you should feel great! As your strength improves you'll start to see fat loss and improved muscle tone.

Don't overdo it – if you start to increase the weights too quickly you could suffer injury. Physical activity isn't a quick fix – it should become a part of your lifestyle.

How often should I take a class?

Once you have done your first few classes of BODYPUMP, we recommend a maximum of 2-3 classes a week. Your body needs recovery time between workouts. Rest at least one day
between classes.

Class Structure:

You'll use a step platform, a bar and a set of weights. If you're new to weight resistance exercise or you're out of shape, you should start with light weights. After a few classes you'll know how much weight is right for you. If you're unsure, ask your instructor.

1. Warm Up - This is to get your entire body moving so you only use light weights.
   
2. Legs, Chest and Back - These are large muscles so require slightly bigger weights.
   
3. Triceps, Biceps and Shoulders - Initially only light weights, moving up to medium as you get stronger.
   
4. Abdominals - To help support and strengthen your core posture.
   
5. Cool Down - This is vital after a hard workout to stretch your muscles. You'll increase your flexibility and reduce any risk of muscle soreness or injury.
