Tickets for the event will cost £8 and are available on Eventbrite or from The Cresset Box Office. If you don’t already own a pair of official reusable Clubbercise® glowsticks, they will be available to buy for £5.

Clubbercise® is a leading dance-fitness class taught in a darkened room with disco lighting, lasers and flashing glow sticks set to popular club tunes.

The classes play uplifting anthems from 90’s classics all the way to the latest chart-toppers.

“I have been teaching fitness classes in the Peterborough area for over six years and started teaching Clubbercise® nine months ago. My clients absolutely love it.

“The routines are easy-to-follow which means you can really let go and enjoy the music. Plus, the classes appeal to a wide range of people because they’re so much fun it doesn’t feel like a workout!”

Jonathan Martin, chief executive of YMCA Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, said: “Health and wellbeing is a core area of YMCA services in the Peterborough area.
