Pump It Up The Ultimate Dance Workout Torrent
Matilda Equiluz
The Mills family has long had athletic blood pumping through their veins. Phillip Mills is the second generation to drive the family business and he believes authenticity is the reason BODYPUMP became so popular so fast.
Long before the creation of BODYPUMP, when fitness for the masses involved a lot of aerobics and tae-bo, the Les Mills family and its gym, were weight training. It was this athletic style, in an environment full of elite athletes, that people seemed drawn to. Soon a simple, but popular, dumbbell class was offered within the gym.
The benefits of strength training on fitness and functionality meant the class quickly became so popular that the amount of dumbbells needed made the whole thing almost unfeasible. This issue created the first step that took a simple dumbbell class towards the global phenomenon that is BODYPUMP today. With his wife Jackie, also a former New Zealand athlete and gymnast, Phillip created a group barbell class as a more efficient system to deliver all the benefits of strength training.
BODYPUMP was developed to accommodate men and women, of all ages and fitness levels, by providing a workout that was effective for everyone. The relatively light weights, used for a high number of repetitions, meant this class did not discriminate.
With unique retractable teeth, the SMARTBAR now made weight changeovers fast and seamless, speeding up transitions to ensure participants get the most out of their workout. This new ease of changing weight also encouraged users to increase weights in small increments, pushing their strength and fitness to new levels.
After 25 years of continuous development, with a dedicated team of researchers and scientists now in its squad, it is undeniable that BODYPUMP will continue to evolve and provide revolutionary workouts for years to come.
