BP is a great full body workout in an hour. Hell, I did a ton of Bodypump. I did BP when they used New Zealand cover music. We did our squat track to the Haka.

BP is a great full body workout in an hour. Hell, I did a ton of Bodypump. I did BP when they used New Zealand cover music. We did our squat track to the Haka.
But I can't stand the pop music now and I had definitely plateaued. At a certain point, I ventured out into the weight room. While BP got and kept me in shape, I'm now a big believer in the Stronglifts 5x5 workout. Yep, I walk around the weight room with my iPhone. 90 seconds between sets. Check off my set.

- michaelsbradley 10y agoI prefer now to do a 30-min Pump followed by a 30-min HIIT class (e.g. GRIT or cycling), or vice versa. I still do 60-min "full" Pump classes, but definitely not my first preference for how to spend an hour at the gym, as I like more overall variety. I should note that I got so into Les Mills that I went on to become a certified instructor, so I'm a little biased. The pop music in Pump can get a little tiresome, I actually agree with you there. FWIW, the music in their GRIT and SPRINT formats is much edgier and some of the quarterly releases even feature original music produced exclusively for those formats. Les Mills classes are definitely not a long-term fit for everyone. I do, though, encourage folks to give them a try, especially if they don't have any kind of fitness regimen and/or they're struggling to stay regular with their solo workouts.
