Warm up and get fit

GENKIFIT’S clubbercise and barre classes are set to return for seven weeks at Smythesdale.

Clubbercise combines cardio, club music and glow sticks, while barre includes low impact moves to stretch, sculpt and strengthen.

Instructor Jaymee Ellis said clubbercise a great way to enjoy the fun of clubbing and dancing without the hangover.

“It becomes that night out without actually having to have a night out,” she said.

“You don’t have to go clubbing but you’re still feeling that really energetic club vibe, which for a lot of people was a fun part of their early twenties.

“Being able to experience that again without the hangover or the late night is a really fun way for them to throw back to when they were younger.”

The classes will run on Friday evenings from Friday, July 18 and will form part of GenkiFit’s winter challenge which began earlier this month.

The challenge can be done from home or at in-person classes and also includes access to resources about nutrition.

Those not taking part in the challenge can take part in seven weeks of clubbercise for $30 or individual classes cost $5.

Ms Ellis said inclusivity had always been central to her role as a fitness instructor.

“It’s so important to me that anyone who wants to be able to access fitness classes or information about how to be healthier is able to do it.

“I think in rural and regional areas it is a lot harder and I’m really glad to be part of that change.”
