Jazzercise

Specialties

Jazzercise is a pulse-​pounding, beat-​pumping fitness program that gets you results… fast. It’s a calorie-​torching, hip swiveling, Shakira’d-be-proud dance party with a hot playlist to distract you from the burn.

History

Established in 1969.

Jazzercise was the original dance party workout and today we’ve grown into one of the world’s leading dance fitness companies. Our 8,300+ franchisees teach more than 32,000 classes each week around the world. Why are we still here? Because our program can change your body and your life. You’ll feel results after 3 classes and you’ll stay with it. With constantly changing moves, new beats, a variety of classes and calorie-​crushing intensity, our workouts get customers to their «after» picture.

Judi Sheppard Missett started the fitness revolution that became Jazzercise in 1969. A seriously inspiring, award-​winning, find-​your-​passion-​and-​live-​it CEO, she runs our company and teaches classes every week.

As Judi’s daughter, Shanna Missett Nelson literally grew up with Jazzercise. Today she is our company President and a rock star instructor, she develops new moves along with Judi and manages our Jazzercise Fitness Centers in Oceanside and La Costa.

Meet the Business Owner

Donna M.

Business Owner

I started Jazzercise in 1988 as a student. The minute I took my first class I knew, «…this is for me» There were all shapes, sizes and fitness levels in class and everyone was very friendly, warm and welcoming. Most of all, it was actually fun. I started taking 2 to 3 classes per week and worked my way up to 5 or 6. At that point I thought, «…I think I want to teach this». So in 1997 I realized my dream and became certified to teach Jazzercise. I opened the business in 1998 with 3 classes a week and have grown the business to 14 classes a week with the help of 4 fantastic associates and an amazing group of class managers.

Jazzercise is so much more than a workout… .it’s your happy place, your way to get rid of stress, dance, sculpt your muscles (yes, you do have them!) and make some new friends. I’ve had hundreds of students through the years and they all tell me how they’ve tried other programs and other gyms, but there’s nothing like Jazzercise.
