Earlier this week, ILT Stadium Southland hosted its first session of Clubbercise — a 45-minute group exercise which mixes dance, aerobic, combat and toning moves.
Instructor Jordan Skelt said the workout was a sensation in gyms in the United Kingdom and she was happy to be able to bring this innovative exercise to Southland.
The classes were taught in a darkened space with disco and UV lights, and LED reusable glow sticks.
For the first class, they had a make-up artist doing glowing face paintings on the attendees to bring them into the club atmosphere.
Instructor Georgina Sunshine was excited to be part of the first class of this type in the region.
"We are here for a good time — it will be so much fun. We also are working out without knowing we are working out — we are here for a good dance and a good sweat."
They loved the experience.
"I don’t go out to the pub much but we miss out on all those dances and just having a laugh. It is great to have something like this so that we can come together to have fun," Mrs Burdon said.
Ms Maka agreed.
"Who needs nightclubs if we have Clubbercise? It is really fun."
Ms Sunshine said classes would run twice a week from August at the stadium.
