BODYPUMP HEAVY is LES MILLS’ next evolution of their global strength flagship. It delivers the proven BODYPUMP formula with a more athletic, results-driven focus — heavier loads, slower time under tension, and enhanced strength outcomes.
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.
Coming to the following clubs in 2026:
Newcastle, Reading, Maidstone, Portsmouth, Bury, Ashton, Swindon, Watford, Bristol, Farnbourgh, Aberdeen
