The Dark Vs The Light is a fitness event led by Double Award Winning fitness instructor Jody Pooley. It will take place in LRV (University of Staffordshire, Leek Road, Stoke on Trent, ST4 2DF) on Saturday 1st February. It will consist of two different fitness classes: Rockbox and Glowbeatz.
Rockbox: Rockbox is a non-contact combat based workout. It alternates between toning tracks, which use drumsticks, and cardio tracks. It is an interval type class, so after each track, you will have a 20-30 second break to either pick up or put down your drumsticks and have a sip of water. All of the music is from the rock/metal genre, so if that’s your style, you’re going to love this class!
Glowbeatz: Glowbeatz is a variation of Beatz. Beatz is a dance based workout. The difference between Beatz and Glowbeatz is the use of glow sticks! In Glowbeatz, throughout the workout you hold glow sticks to illuminate the room and create more of a rave like setting. Glowbeatz is also interval based, giving you 20-30 seconds to have a sip of water and get ready for the next track. Glowbeatz doesn’t have a set genre, however the majority of the tracks are dance/race/popular music throughout the decades.
This event will start at 2pm, with the Rockbox session running from 14:00-14:50, and the Glowbeatz session running from 15:10-16:00. Please aim to arrive 10-15 minutes before the session begins to allow time to get yourself set up.
This event is also fully accessible as Jody will give alternate moves if you need them as well as seated options! Just talk to her before the session and she will be able to accommodate your needs.
The event will cost £4 for one session or £6 for both, with a 50% student discount. Just make sure to bring your student card along with you (proof on your beacon app will also be accepted).
If you fancy coming along and having a go, make sure to wear appropriate footwear (trainers) and bring a bottle of water!
