Sometimes you have to make things happen. I mentioned in an earlier post how much I really missed taking classes. I took them faithfully for almost three years until I started marathon training and switched gyms. BODYPUMP is an organized class, perfect for those looking to get lean, toned, and fit. Being a distance runner, I know strength training is very important. Years ago if you would have asked a runner what their daily workout routine looked like, they probably would have said “running”. I think strength training, especially for runners, has gained momentum over the past few years and rightfully so. BODYPUMP uses light to moderate weights and repetition to give you a full-body, kick-bum workout.
My current gym does not offer it and my favorite instructor is no longer teaching at my old gym. I needed to figure something out without me having to drive too far out of the way. It was the one thing that helped me when I first started running. I felt stronger. It was something about “Sweet Child O’ Mine” playing while doing chest exercises that just made me feel like a complete ROCK STAR!
This past weekend I told my HB that I wanted to price equipment, so we did. We went by one store and their equipment looked a little sketchy, so I decided to go by Academy Sports & Outdoors. I found exactly what I needed: bar and weight plates. I also decided to purchase The Step Studio Platform
BODYPUMP RELOADED

I love that the classes can be taken in the comfort of my own home. For BODYPUMP all you will need is a barbell, weight plates, and a workout bench (I’m using a step bench)

If you would like to find a class near you, visit here. I am so excited to finally be back to strength training. I’ll share my review of the On Demand service as the weeks progress. Strength training is high on my priority list for 2016, and now it’s time to put in WORK!
Have you ever taken a BODYPUMP class? What other Les Mills classes have you taken?

When I workout at a gym they offered body pump and loved it. I think that is where my love of the iron came from actually.
I workout at home now and have added weight plates little by little. I am in search for 2 50lb plates now just not ready to pay the $$ yet!
Good job getting what you need to get it done. Yup I use my step bench for a bench also.
I have attended Body Pump classes at a local gym and had one instructor that was awesome… and 2 others that were not. For me, it’s totally about the energy coming from the instructor. I will give the online a try… didn’t know that it was offered! YAY!
Very cool. I went through the Les Mill pump at home but never took a class. I really enjoyed it.
Yes, it’s definitely one of my favorites!
I did not know they had on line classes lots of my moms in the group have trouble making it to class but would prob do classes on line. thanks for sharing
I’ve never tried Body Pump, but it sounds awesome! I’m glad you found a way to do it!
I have a friend who recently went through training to become a Body Pump instructor. I really want to take one of her classes!
I seriously LOVE bodypump!! I’ve been going to a Wednesday lunch class at the gym near my house off and on now for 7 years. Being able to do it at home would be awesome, I should really look into pricing out a bar and plates.
I went to Academy and the bar and weights weren’t expensive at all. I’m planning to go back to get a few more weight plates, so I won’t have to debar every time. I love the class On Demand. You really feel like you’re at an official Les Mills class! Let me know how you like it if you try it out.
I just started going to the gym and all of the weight equipment is so intimidating! I will check out the online body pump. I have been using daily burn.
Jane, it can be very intimating! That’s one reason why I loved taking Body Pump because it was a group of with people in there just like me. I think you will like Body Pump online. You feel like you are in a live Les Mills Body Pump class. I’ve heard of Daily Burn, too!
I have such a love/HATE relationship with strength training! I know it makes me a stronger runner but it’s not as tangible as running…so I often forget. This post definitely makes me want to start Body Pump back up…smh…and stick with it once and for all. smh
I totally understand. I believe once you get into a routine, you will start to like it. At least that’s what I’m hoping for now that I’m starting over!
I never heard of it. I want to start taking more classes at my gym next year. It will be good to do different workouts instead of the same routine. Also, it will be a good opportunity to meet potential clients for my business.

I love Body Pump! If you already have weights or don’t mind investing in some, you can do it at home OnDemand. I love the live class though—especially if you have a great teacher.
