LES MILLS BODYPUMP
Established by New Zealander Leslie Roy Mills, a four-time Olympian, Les Mills BODYPUMP is a choreographed barbell-based resistance training workout that challenges all major muscles groups as you squat, row, lung, lift and curl. The program is based on “The Rep Effect”, a proven method that exhausts muscles through the use of light to moderate weights while performing high repetitions - effectively building lean muscle mass, toning and sculpting your body. A 1-hour workout can burn up to 540 calories!
The choreographed routine changes every three months and is set to the latest chart-topping hits, keeping it relevant and fun with new challenges and innovations in each new release. Les Mills is a global fitness enterprise so when you’re away from home all you need to do is search for classes in your holiday location and you’ll be ready to go. Incorporate two to three BODYPUMP classes in your weekly fitness routine to shed fat, build muscle and improve bone density.

LES MILLS GRIT STRENGTH + CORE
GRIT Strength + Core is a 30-minute high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout aimed at building lean muscle and improving strength. This class uses a barbell, weight plates and body weight to tax all the major muscle groups and keep you burning fat well beyond the class. Like BODYPUMP, a new GRIT Strength + Core program is released every three months to challenge and motivate you. Adding these short, sharp sessions to your overall fitness routine doesn’t allow your body to get complacent and produces dramatic results. Each class also includes a 20-minute core workout.
Here’s some more information about HIIT training and why it’s so effective:
High-Intensity Interval Training triggers the Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) effect, more widely known as “the after-burn”. Repeating short bursts of intense exercises with minimal recovery time leads your muscles to fatigue and causes your body to release more lactic acid through the process of Anaerobic Glycolyses - the transformation of glucose to lactic acid when limited amounts of oxygen (O2) are available. It is eventually converted back into glucose, then glycogen, by the liver. In the process to re-establish bodily equilibrium fat stores are broken down and free fatty acids (FFA) are released in the bloodstream. By increasing your metabolic rate and trying to regain somatic balance, your body ends up working harder in states of rest.
Skill level: Intermediate and above

SPIN
Spin is a freestyle indoor cardio-based cycling program. You can burn over 700 calories in just one session! Follow your instructor as they take you through a program mimicking nature’s terrain - climbing up and down hills, sprinting, hovering and more to your favourite music. Your experienced instructor will give you a primer on your stationary bike: how to adjust the bike to best suit you; how to maintain proper posture and technique; and how to regulate the resistance during class. Spin is a great low-impact and relatively stationary exercise that is highly effective. You are in control. You decide the resistance level of your workout.

Following these series of movements corrects alignment and improves body posture and form to prevent injury in other more rigorous classes.
