A new rave-inspired dance fitness brand which sees participants workout with glow sticks, has launched throughout the UK.

Clubbercise – the brainchild of former nightclub podium dancer Claire Green – is led by qualified instructors who put classes through their paces in a darkened room with disco lighting and a soundtrack of tracks ranging from 90s to recent club anthems.

Instructor training courses have so far taken place in London and Leeds, while classes are taking place in Birmingham, Doncaster, London, Oxford and Plymouth and are starting soon in Cardiff, Essex, Leeds, Torquay and York.

The Clubbercise concept – which is due to launch in Xercise4Less and Winners 2000 clubs in May – is recognised by REPs and also has a charity element: the founders donate to Oxfam every time a new instructor signs up.



“We wanted to create a dance fitness class that people would enjoy just as much as going to a club at the weekend, dancing to the music that they love with the associated endorphins and euphoria,” said Claire Green, co-creator and managing director of Clubbercise.

“Many people don’t get to go clubbing as much as they might like to due to work and family commitments so we’re bringing the nightclub atmosphere to their workout instead.”

Class fees vary dependent on location, but usually range between £4-£6. Clubbercise playlists are available for download via FitMixPro, and require a PPL license for use.
