The next release has landed; BodyPump 74, the 2nd quarter offering has made it to our gym. So, as before, I’ll present my opinions as a preview for those elsewhere who won’t get it for a while.

Another quarter gone by and it won’t be long till the next release comes our way. The instructor master-classes are only a couple of weeks away, so we should see the launch in about a month’s time. Get ready for what may be our fiercest release yet. Right from Track 2, the hammer goes down [...]
