At night I teach Clubbercise for adults and during the day I teach PE at a Secondary School.
I completed the Clubbercise Kids Combo course in 2017, which means I can teach Clubbercise Family, U13 and U18.
As soon as the lights go off, you can hear the screams and feel the excitement!
It’s an amazing, proud moment, seeing everyone ‘let go’; forget about others in the room, live the moment for themselves and feel accepted.
Unfortunately, some young people, particularly girls never feel this in other PE lessons. I don’t want my students to grow up not knowing what exercise can do for them.
My biggest compliment was from a year 9 pupil. She’s not a natural sports person but tries her best.
PE is not her favourite subject but when she said after a Clubbercise U18 session “even I enjoyed that Miss, thank you” my job was done.
That moment you make one difference, that’s the glow!
Clubbercise Family is also a concept I’m passionate about. My Mum introduced me to dance but I never danced with her, so sharing the love, laughter and fitness amongst families is a real honour.
I asked my Clubber Heather what it means to her and she said “My daughter’s 13 and only off her phone to eat and shower. My son is 7, he can be shy and worries what other people think of him. Initially, it was just me and my boy; he loved it, he couldn’t wait to tell his sister, who came to the following session. For the first time in ages they didn’t argue and had a laugh together… Mainly at my lack of coordination! However, that hour brought us all together and we’ve been coming ever since.”
Personally, I can’t get enough of Clubbercise – I teach Brownies and Guide troupes, school sessions and reward events, charity nights and birthday parties, as well as my weekly sessions for adults!
