A challenging mix of martial arts and endurance, unleashing strength you never knew you had.


BODYCOMBAT™ is a fun, empowering cardio workout where you will undergo a cracking workout, whilst relieving stress and raising your heart rate. This energetic class, available throughout our Fitness & Wellbeing estate, is strongly influenced by martial arts such as Karate, Boxing, Taekwondo, Tai Chi and Muay Thai.

The classes are supported by powerful music and energetic instructors. You will punch, kick and kata your way through calories to a leaner, healthier, fitter body. As with all LES MILLS™ programs, a new BODYCOMBAT™ class is produced every three months with new music and choreography to keep things fresh and exciting for all.

Do I need martial arts experience?

Each session lasts 55 minutes. In a typical class, you will start with warm up, followed by combat and power workouts (guards, jab, cross, hook, upper cut, front kick, roundhouse kick and side kick) and end with cool down. The classes can be explosive, so remember to pace yourself.

Don't worry you do not need to have prior martial arts experience to take part in a BODYCOMBAT™ session. This class is suitable for all those with a moderate fitness level and the movements are quite simple so you don't need to be greatly coordinated. Male or female, old or young - come and give BODYCOMBAT™ a go.
