BODYPUMP HEAVY
Heavier, slower, stronger: BODYPUMP geared for hypertrophy.
What is BODYPUMP HEAVY?
BODYPUMP HEAVY is the hypertrophy-focused version of BODYPUMP: heavier, slower, stronger. Where classic BODYPUMP favours muscular endurance and toning (moderate loads, high repetitions, little rest), BODYPUMP HEAVY relies on heavier loads, fewer repetitions and longer recovery periods. This approach creates the metabolic stress that triggers adaptations in the targeted muscle groups, taking participants further into strength — in a group, with a coach.

Frequently asked questions
How is BODYPUMP HEAVY different from BODYPUMP?
BODYPUMP is geared towards muscular endurance and toning (moderate loads, high repetitions, little rest). BODYPUMP HEAVY is geared towards hypertrophy: fewer repetitions, but heavier loads and longer recovery, to go further into strength.
Do I already need to be very strong to take part?
No. The programme is progressive and coached, and everyone chooses their own loads: the goal is to progress at your own level, without judgement, in an accessible group setting.
Will I build muscle?
Yes: the class structure (heavy loads, low repetitions, long recovery) is ideal for stimulating hypertrophy, building strength and improving body composition.
