Quick! What enters your mind when you hear the word “Jazzercise?” Leg warmers, leotards, and snapping fingers? Well, guess once again since we are speaking with Jazzercize President Shanna Missett Nelson, who as the child of Jazzercize’s creator Judi Sheppard Missett, rather actually matured seeing the aerobics brand name end up being a popular culture phenomenon– and she’s here to let all of us understand that it may not be at all what you’re imagining.
The hectic mother of 2 ladies still teaches 3 classes weekly, and she states that, while Jazzercise still includes a great deal of dancing and enjoyable tunes, it has actually grown with the times to consist of strength training and HIIT exercises. The now 50- year-old business (!) is simply as positive and pertinent now as it was when it introduced with countless franchises around the world, and Shanna has her eye on the marketing patterns of the future.
