I am always looking for fun and exciting ways to workout so I was especially thrilled when I discovered Clubbercise, a Zumba inspired dance class with funky tunes, glow sticks and disco lights! It’s hard to find a class that has you smiling the whole way through, whilst giving you a full body workout. Not […]
#Hellofitty: An Interview With Clubbercise Co-Founder, Claire Burlison Green
Claire Burlison Green is the co-founder of Clubbercise; a Zumba inspired dance class with high energy and low lighting. After my first class, I left feeling energised and bouncy, despite the fact that the class works you like a late night clubbing session! You get to dance (and sing along to classic tunes if you […]

TRIED & TESTED: Orangetheory Fitness
When a friend invited me to a free taster session at Orangetheory Fitness at the Islington studio, I happily agreed and signed up. Admittedly a little nervous, as I’m not the best runner, I went along with a few friends and joined in a class. Having previously been to other HIIT classes that focus on running and […]
TRIED & TESTED: Exerceo EMS
On a raining Sunday afternoon, over a glass of wine and roast dinner, I was crazy enough to agree to try out a new workout whilst being electrocuted! I’d heard about Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) before, knowing many physiotherapists use it for rehab purposes. But it wasn’t until very recently that I discovered you could use […]

#Hellofitty: An Interview With HulaFit’s Anna Byrne
I met HulaFit’s Anna Byrne at one of her classes in London Fields, having been introduced by a friend of mine and fan of hers. After my first class I left with a feeling that this is a class I can go to regularly and advance at, but also a class that I want to! Anna has introduced me […]
TRIED & TESTED: HulaFit with Anna Byrne
When my friend Leonie invited me to HulaFit with Anna Byrne at the London Fields Fitness Studio, I jumped at the chance to try something new. I had never heard of HulaFit before, but I had seen hula performers at Camden’s Roundhouse which I thought was awesome! Excited, I went to the studio, a large space […]
TRIED & TESTED: Anti-Gravity Classes
I have been a yoga fan for several years now, but I had never tried aerial yoga before. Being a bit of a Groupon junkie, I saw a deal to attend any three anti-gravity classes at the London Dance Academy. Curious as to what anti-gravity yoga might be about, plus a willingness to try something […]
