A CARLISLE fitness instructor is inviting people to take part in a brand new ‘silent disco walk’ next month, believed to be the first of its kind in the city.
Aleasha Wallace, who runs Clubbercise classes across the city, is launching the Silent Disco Wander Club as a trial event.
The event, believed to be the first of its kind in Carlisle, will see participants walk with headphones while listening to music, creating a silent disco-style experience.
They will follow a guided route while listening to music, allowing them to walk, dance and sing along as they go.

Aleasha said: “I joked a while ago about doing a silent disco Clubbercise class as part of our 10th anniversary socials, but then I saw a video online of social walks and I thought, why not combine it!
“People want easier workouts and things they feel confident they can do without complicated steps or feeling like they don’t know what they’re doing.
“This gives people a chance to walk, talk, dance, jog, and just have fun whilst getting their steps in. Make some new friends along the way.”

The walks will take place on Thursday, May 7, starting from Currock Community Centre, with routes heading through Denton Holme and into the city, as well as shorter routes around the Currock area.
Sessions are planned for 10 am, 5 pm and 7 pm.
Aleasha added: “We’re starting off with some trial classes, and if all goes well, we hope to make it a regular thing!”

The launch comes as Aleasha prepares to celebrate 10 years of Clubbercise in Carlisle this November.
What started as a single class with around 25 people now welcomes around 150 people a week, running six classes across four venues.
Classes take place at Morton Manor, Currock Community Centre, the Belah Centre on Stanwix Bank, and Harraby Theatre, with sessions running on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
