An underground rave with fat 'choonz' that counts as training? Er, yes please!
Fitness Freak, the fantastic know them all class finder, partnered up with
Time Out to bring a party to the masses. A one-hour ravercise class in the The Old Vic Tunnels, Waterloo.

Glow sticks at the ready! |
Glow sticks a-plenty and neon everywhere, the masses did indeed come. Piled into a tunnel, things were about to get very sweaty – which made the setting even more authentic! As soon as the live DJ's 90s-tastic set started, the crowd began to bounce, more or less in the same direction, as our instructors on stage took us through our moves.
At this point I realise I'm far better at the freestyle sections, with pretty much no coordination or memory to follow the or remember the moves. But with some repetition I slowly began to pick up the routine. This of course all fell apart as soon as a classic track came on – I'm not talented enough to screech lyrics at the top of my voice whilst recalling dance moves in the right order.

Freestyle!!! |
A few flashback tracks took me to memories of bouncing around my childhood bedroom like a loon - that's pretty much the style I adopted at the Fitness Freak Rave! Only this party included squats, lots of them! Feeling the burn it was a relief to go back to our routine - now built up to 6, 7(?) different moves, including of course the classics 'Big fish, little fish, cardboard box' and 'The Carlton' – before we cooled down to a Spice Girls track!

Post-rave sweat! |
Whilst this was a one-off event, you can get your glow on at regular classes at Gymbox, where the classes happen on trampolines!
