BodyPump’s Rep Effect

I bet you’re wondering what makes BodyPump so effective? Well, here’s the answer, which comes directly from Les Mills.

“The key to BodyPump is THE REP EFFECT™, a breakthrough in resistance training which focuses on a high quantity of repetitions using low weight loads. You may believe that in order to break down fat and build muscle you need to lift heavy weights to a point of failure to generate the changes you’re after. While it’s true that muscle fatigue is necessary for changing your body from flabby to fit, THE REP EFFECT™ changes that thinking.

With THE REP EFFECT™, you exhaust your muscles by using light to moderate weights and do more repetitions instead. In a standard 60 minute BodyPump class you perform 70 - 100 repetitions for each body part, which equals about 800 repetitions in a single workout. If you compare this to a standard gym workout, it’s more than four times the work of what an average person can achieve on their own.

With THE REP EFFECT™ you can burn more calories and achieve more meaningful fat loss and muscle fatigue to build strength without building bulk. That means a leaner, stronger physique—fast!”
