We had plenty to celebrate in September!

Firstly, we were invited to host Clubbercise and our new Combat+Tone workout at the International Fitness Summit, held in Ibiza from 13th-15th September. 

It’s the first time the brand has featured at the event, which also included world-class speakers like James Smith, Paul Olima, Sean Casey, Chloe Madeley, and Jay Alderton.

Then, we received another award to add to our growing collection, after being crowned Best Dance Based Workout at the British Fitness Awards, which were held on 14th September in Liverpool.

Claire Burlison, Clubbercise Founder says “This year just keeps getting better and better! We’re expanding into new markets with Combat+Tone and to receive another award for our original dance-based workout is a real bonus”

Beth's story: I look forward to exercising for the first time in my life!

Beth Barksby loses 10 stone with the help of Clubbercise

I started Clubbercise whilst I was on maternity leave after having my second child. I had gained weight during my pregnancy and felt lethargic and self-conscious about my body.

My first session, I was so nervous. I walked in and stood right at the back in a corner. When I walked out I had a huge smile on my face and a feeling that I had accomplished something.

My long term goal has been to lose weight and get physically fitter. Clubbercise has helped me to hit this, having now lost a total of 10 stones!

Not only have I lost weight and increased my fitness in leaps and bounds, but my mental wellbeing had also hugely improved.

I look forward to exercise sessions for the first time in my life! It's no longer something I have to force myself to do and I cannot wait until my next session.

I now stand right at the front, with a smile on my face, whooping along and feeling like I am flying.

I cannot thank Clubbercise and the instructors leading the sessions enough.

It has changed my life completely. I now have the energy to run around with my children, and have a space where I can let my hair down and enjoy my me time.

Meet Michelle: "At 51 I’ve found my fit fam and I’m never going back"

 
Michelle enjoying Clubbercise with Sallyann
 

Eight years ago I walked into the back room of a local social club not knowing what to expect, I mean dancing in the dark sounded fun so why not? That’s where my Clubbercise journey began and I’ve never looked back.

Then two years ago, my daughter (who was 11 at the time) was admitted to hospital with an eating disorder. Since then she's suffered with severe anxiety and depression as well as her being autistic.

Life has been tough in the last couple of years and my mental health has suffered but I truly believe it is going to class that has kept me sane.

My instructor Sallyann is amazing! She is supportive, fun and always full of so much energy it’s infectious. I’ve met some lovely friends through going to class and we are truly a ‘fit fam’.

I still have really rough weeks at home but when I get to class and the music starts all the stress disappears.

I can sing and dance to my hearts' content and like Sallyann says "You're 18, you're single and you're in Ibiza" and that’s exactly how it feels!

I now go twice a week to Clubbercise and do Sallyanns classes on the other nights.The feeling's addictive.

At 51 I feel I’ve found my fit fam and I’m never going back.

Jo's journey: "I came off medication and my mental health improved too"

Jo and the rest of her Clubbers

In July 2018 I was lucky enough to be able to take early retirement at 55. At that point, I was very overweight and very unfit.

My health was considered high risk with high blood pressure (family trait) and type 2 diabetes.

If I was to enjoy my life in retirement, I had to seriously do something about it!

The thought of going to a gym filled me with terror and the thought of donning a swimsuit and going to a public pool equally terrified me!

I have 2 dogs so I started walking... Until the vet told me I had to cut back their walks! What was I to do?

Then one day I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a post for a Clubbercise class near me. I’d never heard of it before - a cardio class, to dance music and glow sticks, in the dark! It sounded perfect. So I decided to give it a go.

I went to my first class on my own, nervous about what to expect and terrified I’d need a defibrillator at the end of the class!

But I needn’t have worried. I was greeted with such welcoming friendliness. The instructor, Emma, took me through the health and safety side of things and made sure I understood that I could take things at my own pace and not to worry if I was going wrong, as long as I was moving and having fun.

Paula, one of the other participants, kept checking on me.

I survived my first class and absolutely loved it. I was on such a high and felt so energised. Something I hadn’t felt in such a long time.

I had started Slimming World around the same time as my new found love for Clubbercise and I managed to lose 3.5 stone and 5 clothes sizes.

Wow, I never imagined any of that.

More importantly, the health benefits were amazing. I came off one set of diabetic medication and reduced another and my BP became more regulated. Not only my physical health but my mental health improved too.

This year it will be 6 years since I started my Clubbercise journey and I still do a double class every week (wish I could do more!).

I have made some lifelong friends through the classes and will continue with my journey as long as I can.
