When you hear Jazzercise you think legwarmers and leotards, right? Or a workout for your Mom but not for you? We admit our workouts got so popular in the ’80s that we created a fitness revolution that people still associate with us today. It’s true that we were the original dance party workout. But today the leotards—and the ’80s—are long gone and our classes are way too hot for legwarmers. We’re still evolving and transforming people’s bodies and their lives.
Because our program works! Jazzercise is a pulse-pounding, beat-pumping, body-blasting fitness program that gets you results…fast. It’s a high intensity dance party that fuses cardio, strength, Pilates, hip hop, yoga and kickboxing. Burn up to 800 calories per hour in any of our 60 minute classes.
If you try our classes odds are you’ll stay with our program for 7 years. That’s our average and we’re proud of it. Why do people stay? Because we keep it fresh so you never plateau and never get bored. We have a variety of classes to challenge you—Strike, Fusion, Core, Strength and Dance Mixx. So how do you want to work it?
Judi Sheppard Missett started that revolution in 1969 when she created Jazzercise. Today she runs our company as CEO and Founder and teaches classes every week. Her daughter, Shanna Missett Nelson, is our President and an instructor. We’re psyched to be led by strong, active women. And if you want proof that our workouts crush it, just take a look at those two.
Something else we’re proud of is our longstanding tradition of giving back. Our Jazzercise instructors have raised more than $28 million for a wide range of causes, most of them directly affecting their local communities. We also offer Kids Get Fit, a community outreach program to fight childhood obesity. Our instructors throw free dance parties at schools all over the world to get kids moving.
So yep, we’re the original dance party workout. And today we continue to rock it.
