Just wondering everyones experience with Body Combat and other gym classes. Any advice on the best most efficent most calorie burning ones. Any advice for said beginner ?

I have a membership to Gold's fyi. I'd like to know if others enjoy the classes as much as I do and if they've lost any weight and which ones are their favorite, etc. Basically anything you can tell me about the classes would be awesome any tips or anything.

    If it's anything like my Body Combat (Les Mills class) then it's non contact combat routines, with a focus on cardio with some strength mixed in. It's basically a different (easy) routine to different music tracks with punch and kick combinations - some more physically demanding than others, but easy to follow moves. It's great fun. It's a good one to do before Les Mills Body Attack which is a more aerobic intense cardio class - also great fun. Pump is great for strength and Step is good if you're coordinated (not me!!)

    Body Combat , body attack attack and RPM/Spin would be great calorie burners (for me they are), Body step is quite fun too.

    I love pump simply to tone up (it doesnt burn as much as cardio based over a short period but if you develop your muscle you burn more overal), but combat is fantastic for taking out frustrations (kicking and punching while stressed!!)

    I would say, have a go at all the classes then stick with the ones you like. I wouldnt stick to any of my classes if i didnt like them!
