LES MILLS BODYPUMP™ is a non-impact weights-based exercise class that works every major muscle group in the body using weights, a bar and step. It strengthens, conditions and tones muscles, producing amazing results – fast.

“LES MILLS BODYPUMP™ classes have a rapid and dramatic effect on body shape,” says Steven Trotter. “High repetition with low weights means you tone your muscles – making them strong and lean, rather than bulky – while also burning calories and fat. After a few weeks of regular classes, participants notice a real difference.”

Fully qualified LES MILLS BODYPUMP™ instructors offer guidance on the correct lifting techniques throughout the class, with people of all levels of fitness exercising together, setting their own workout depending on the weight they add to the barbell. Hot sounds and compelling choreography keep you going through each 45 to 60-minute workout.

Adds Steven Trotter: “If you’ve always thought that exercise is boring, LES MILLS BODYPUMP™ will change your mind. The classes are incredibly motivating, with dynamic music and an instructor giving constant encouragement and feedback throughout the session. The classes are always easy to follow too, with no complicated choreographed moves, so there is no danger of feeling lost or self-conscious.”

BODYPUMP™ participants report that they love the combination of uplifting music and specially trained, motivating instructors in the classes - not to mention the fact that they get great results!

BODYPUMP™ classes at Virginia Tech Rec Sports will launch in Spring 2010. Classes will begin on Tuesday, January 19, 2010. The first week of Spring fitness classes (Tuesday, Jan 19 - Mon, Jan 25) is FREE for all students, faculty and staff at Virginia Tech. You can also buy a Group Exercise Pass specific to your needs, which covers an unlimited number of classes on the respective schedule throughout the spring semester.
