  • A Typical Class

    Your Les Mills BODYCOMBAT™ instructor will lead you through a series of moves from a range of martial arts to 10 different music tracks.

    Warmup - This is where you will learn all the moves that will be used throughout the class and warm up your body and mind for the battle ahead. 

    Combat 1 - Visualize your opponent and unleash into your first fight combination. 

    Power 1 - Enter an aerobic training zone with a focus on speed, power and endurance.

    Combat 2 - Fight for your life! Inject all your power and energy into every combination as you again challenge your imaginary opponent.

    Power 2 - You’re halfway through the fight. Use punches only to drill the upper body for a second time.

    Combat 3 - Time to recover as we lower the intensity to prepare for the final phase.

    Muay Thai - Explode into a Muay Thai encounter, push yourself to a higher fitness level and leave your opponent for dust!

    Power 3 - Go hard out and don’t look back until you complete this upper body power blast and seal the deal on your fitness objectives.

    Conditioning - Take to the floor and cap off the workout with some strength training.

    Cool Down - Payback time - stretch out and lengthen all those hard-worked muscles.
