Estimate Body Pump calories burned from your weight and class length, with a standard, lighter or high-energy pace, or find minutes for a calorie goal.
Body Pump Calories Burned Formula
For a quick Body Pump estimate, use the formula below.
Variables:
- C = calories burned
- BW = body weight in pounds
- D = workout duration in minutes
- F = Body Pump class factor
The calculator uses a standard class factor of 0.053 by default. Under Class pace, you can use 0.044 for a lighter pace, 0.053 for a standard class, or 0.063 for a high-energy class.

What Is Body Pump?
Body Pump is a barbell-based group strength class built around high repetitions, light-to-moderate loads, and fast transitions between exercises. A typical session includes squats, presses, rows, lunges, curls, triceps work, and core training, usually over 30 to 60 minutes.
How to Calculate Body Pump Calories Burned
- Enter your body weight.
- Enter the length of your Body Pump workout in minutes.
- Keep the standard class pace, or choose a lighter or higher-energy pace.
- Multiply body weight by minutes and the class factor to get calories burned.
Example Calculation
For a 160 lb person doing 45 minutes of Body Pump at a standard class pace:
That workout would burn about 382 calories.
