01 / The experience

A proper workout.
A soundtrack you want to stay for.

Body Party brings fitness, music and community together in one music-led experience. Created by Christina Okenla, founder of Bodied By XO, and London DJ and event curator Mark Ashley Dupé, each session blends purposeful movement with curated live sound.

From a slow sculpt burn to beat-driven intervals and powerful gym circuits, the soundtrack moves with you. Music carries the intensity. Movement creates the feeling.

The community

Come for the music.

For people who love a dancefloor.
Who it’s for

Music lovers who want a workout with atmosphere, connection and the energy of a night out.

Inclusive, welcoming to all, and free from pressure to look a certain way.
02 / Find your rhythm

Three rooms.
Three training styles.
One live sound.

01 / RED ROOM

SCULPT

Strength. Control. Sculpt.

Pilates-inspired movement meets low-impact strength. Slow, controlled sequences and high repetitions challenge your glutes, legs, arms and core. Move with intention, embrace the burn and leave feeling energised.

Low impact · Moderate burn
Sound: sultry vibes + R&B
02 / WHITE ROOM

BANDS
+ HIIT

Resistance. Rhythm. Sweat.

Resistance-band strength meets short, sharp cardio intervals. Expect powerful lower-body sequences and full-body conditioning driven by the beat. Strong, sweaty and unapologetically sexy.

High energy · High burn
Sound: high-energy club soundtrack
03 / GYM

FULL BODY
BOOTCAMP

Strength. Power. Conditioning.

Functional strength and athletic conditioning across challenging stations. Work with weights, bodyweight and gym equipment to test your strength and stamina. Lift, push, pull and sweat to a powerful live soundtrack.

High intensity · Athletic
Sound: powerful + pace-driven
03 / The people behind the party

Movement meets music.
