TEN YEARS OF CLUBBERCISE BIRMINGHAM WITH CLAIRE and the final 🌟Top 10🌟 before party week starts…10 reasons I love instructing

1. SEEING FRIENDSHIPS DEVELOP. One of the most special things is giving people an opportunity to meet others. We have seen countless friendships blossom over the last 10 years when it just started with a “hi” at the beginning of a class
2. THE FAB TUNES. Being able to exercise to some belting tunes (old and new) gives you such a boost…albeit that does mean I sometimes sing too…
3. MAKING EXERCISE FUN. The secret to anything you want to stick with - if you find something you enjoy you’ll continue to do it and Clubbercise is definitely that
4. CELEBRATING CLIENTS. We have had so many weddings, engagements, house moves, new jobs and babies we have celebrated over the last decade
5. WHEN A MOVE JUST LANDS. It may take a few attempts to nail a routine or perfect a move but when it happens it’s awesome!
6. TURNING UP EVEN ON A BAD DAY. I get it…work, family and life can sometimes give us a headache and throw hurdles our way but so many people have said “I’m so glad I came to class, I wasn’t going to” or “I really needed that”
7. WATCHING CONFIDENCE GROW. Newbies arrive and nervously rush to the back of the room but over time, they become familiar with the people, the songs and the routines
8. THAT HOUR OF “YOU” TIME. Leaving your worries at the door gives you just 60 minutes to forget the stresses of everyday life
9. A ROOM IN UNISON. There is something quite beautiful in watching a whole room enjoying the routines, the music and a whole load of glowsticks all moving the same way
10. ALL MY AMAZING CLIENTS. Without you, these classes would be nothing so thank you!

🥂1️⃣0️⃣ Ten years ago today, I stood on a stage at Bishop Walsh and instructed my FIRST EVER clubbercise class! I didn’t have a clue what I was doing or where it would lead but here we are a decade later! (Plus I am still 27 and still don’t know what I’m doing 😆)

Who knew we would be glowing in 2026 after starting out in 2016. I can’t thank my amazing clubbers and everyone who has supported my classes enough 💃💪🏽 🎉 you are AMAZING and the classes would literally be nothing with you

TEN YEARS OF CLUBBERCISE BIRMINGHAM WITH CLAIRE and here’s another 🌟Top 10🌟 to mark it…10 facts about me!

1. I AM THE YOUNGEST OF 6! There’s 5 girls and 1 boy, I became an Auntie at 3 and there’s 20 years between me and the oldest (Diane is the next one up).
2. I USED TO PLAN EVENTS LIKE “PRIDE OF BRITAIN”. Yes in a former life I was really involved in hundreds of events (I have a fair few celeb stories from those days…and far too many black tie and cocktail dresses!)
3. I ONCE APPEARED ON FIRST DATES…but as a background dater! All people in the rest of the restaurant apart from those being featured are all extras (and you get money to pay for your meal!)
4. I MET PRINCE PHILIP DRESSED AS AN OOMPA LUMPA…he visited our senior school and our production at the time was ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. I also spoke to him about tomatoes as part of a science project 🍅 sure he was really impressed!
5. I’VE ALREADY STARTED MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Yup I’m one of ‘those’ people (I start practically on Boxing Day). I have detailed excel spreadsheets and love being organised!
6. I OCCASIONALLY BAKE CAKES. I’m no Mary Berry but I do like to make cakes and love spending time decorating them (when I have the time!)
7. I CAN RECITE ALL THE COLOURS OF JOSEPH’s COAT. Hoping this skill will win me a pub quiz one day…I was mildly (massively) obsessed with this musical when I was about 10. My primary school also selected it for that year’s play (I was Mrs Potipher!) I listened to the cassette of the songs over and over and over and wore out VHS of it too!
8. IF I WENT TO HOGWARTS I WOULD BE A HUFFLEPUFF. I love love love Harry Potter and anything to do with it. Can’t wait for the remakes this year 🪄
9. GROWING UP I WANTED TO BE A FARMER…not the standard answer you would expect from a 4YO…who knows why
10. I HAVE A “PROPER” JOB. I’d love to say jumping around in neon is all I do but I do have a full-time desk job! I am currently an Executive Assistant and country Fleet Coordination for an international water chemical treatment company

TEN YEARS OF CLUBBERCISE BIRMINGHAM WITH CLAIRE and here’s another 🌟Top 10🌟 to mark it…with some of the fitness qualifications and certificates I have achieved since starting out in 2016.

I love learning (I’d have to to be mad enough to do these around a full time job, funding them and teaching already😆) and even if I don’t currently practice these fully, everything I learn is a bonus and just ‘makes sense’. I think it is so important for fitness instructors to continue to learn

1. CLUBBERCISE INSTRUCTOR (where it all began!)
2. PERSONAL TRAINER level 3
3. EXERCISE TO MUSIC level 2
4. GYM INSTRUCTING level 2
5. NUTRITION, PERFORMANCE & HEALTHY EATING level 2
6. NUTRITION FOR EXERCISE AND HEALTH level 3 (Nutritional Advisor status)
7. DESIGNING EXERCISE PROGRAMMES FOR OLDER ADULTS level 3
8. KETTLEBELLS level 1
9. COUNTLESS CPD’s (such as step, seated fitness, spiky ball work, activation bands, female core, gut health, low carb diets, inflammatory foods)
10. WOMEN’s HEALTH & MENOPAUSE level 3 (currently studying)

TEN YEARS OF CLUBBERCISE BIRMINGHAM WITH CLAIRE and here’s my first 🌟Top 10🌟 to mark it…with some of the moves I have “named” (but completely made up!) likening the pattern to functional things 😆

❓Do you recognise any of them?
❓What routines are they from?
❓What others can you think of?

1. PULL THE SHUTTERS
2. PICK UP THE SHOPPING
3. STACK THE SHELVES
4. OPEN THE CURTAINS
5. BRUSH YOUR HAIR
6. POLISH THE WORKTOPS
7. WALK THE TIGHTROPE
8. STEP OVER THE GATE
9. WALK UNDER THE FENCE
10. HIPPY HIPPY
