50 reps or 40 winks? A new fitness class consisting of nothing but sleep is to be trialled in the UK this weekend.

David Lloyd Clubs have become the first UK fitness brand to offer napping classes, designed to reinvigorate the mind and improve moods.

Napercise will see spin-bikes swapped for single beds and upbeat workout tunes ditched in favour of atmospheric sounds.

Temperatures in the studio will also be dropped to a level that promotes calorie burning.

The idea follows research revealing a tiredness epidemic in the UK, with 86pc of parents admitting they suffer from fatigue.

A spokesperson for David Lloyd Clubs said: 'Here at David Lloyd Clubs, we're always looking for new ways to tackle the issues that everyday families face, which is what Napercise sets out to do.'

Napercise will be trialled over April 29-30.

Depending on the success of the class, the company will be looking to roll out sessions to more of its clubs in the future.

The nearest David Lloyd Club can be found at Ransomes Europark in Ipswich.
