Bodystep
Class Description
Bodystep is a full-body cardio class built around an adjustable step and a playlist that gets faster as the session goes on. You'll move through simple, athletic patterns — step-ups, knee lifts, lunges and side-to-side travelling moves — that work your legs, glutes and heart without the complicated choreography of a traditional aerobics class.
Between the cardio tracks come two "power" tracks using light hand weights and bodyweight squats, lunges and push-ups to build muscular endurance. The mix of steady cardio and short strength bursts means you burn a lot of calories while getting noticeably stronger through your lower body.
Every move has a lower and higher option. Beginners usually start with the step on its lowest setting and no hand weights; regulars add risers, jumps and heavier plates as their fitness improves. Most members tell us that by week three the routines feel natural and the hour flies by.

Class Schedule
Our coaches refresh the Bodystep routines every eight weeks to keep the class fun and challenging. Spaces are limited to 24 steps per class, so book your spot through the app up to seven days in advance.
Common Questions
Never tried a step class before? Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often from new members.
Arrive 10 minutes early so your coach can set your step at the right height. The class starts with a slow warm-up that teaches the basic patterns, then builds through cardio and strength tracks before finishing with a five-minute stretch.
No uniform is needed. Wear breathable workout clothes and supportive training shoes with good cushioning — avoid running shoes with thick, flared heels, as they can catch on the step. Bring a towel and a water bottle.
Please wipe down your step and weights after class, return risers to the rack and keep outdoor shoes in the lockers so the studio floor stays clean and safe.
Not at all. Classes are mixed-ability and every move has an easier and harder option, so you can train at your own pace whatever your size or fitness level.
Two to three classes a week gives the best results. Pair Bodystep with one strength session and one mobility class to recover well and keep improving.
