My mom has been doing Jazzercize for about the last 6 months I'd say and she seems to have a total body makeover! She looks awesome. I was wondering if anyone else does this and is it mostly for older people? For some reason I just get that impression? Is it fun for the younger crowd too?
I think Jazzercise has gone the same way as the 8-track tape or Betamax player. Its rare to find it being offered anywhere nowadays with the popularity of pilates, cardio kickboxing, yoga, etc. I used to work for a company where one day per week there would be Jazzercise. The only people who attended where those in their late 50s and 60s.
If it works, Great!! But now there are just so many other options available that sound more interesting to todays folks than "Jazzercise".
There are a number of Jazzercise centers in our metro area. Another one just opened this last fall and I don't think I have seen any close. I know several ladies (not old) that do it and I know one that babysits at her center in exchange for class (so with babies there another sign that its not old folks).
Jazzercise is not just for older folks. At the center I attend, there are multiple classes throughout the day. The ages are from teenagers to retired people. It is the only exercise I have ever done that I don't get bored with. The routines change all the time. Give it a try!

Jazzercise actually incorporates pilates, kickboxing and yoga as well as weight training. It has not gone the way of the 8 track tape!
I went to Jazzercise today and I loved it. I enjoyed the combination of cardio, strength training, and stretching because I don't like to put together the entire routine myself. The music was modern and fun.
Jazzercise Lite tends to attract older participants who want a more gentle workout and regular Jazzercise attracts a broader range of ages.

I see a lot of Jazzercise locations in the Houston, TX area and I am dying to try a class!! I too thought it was a product of the 70's - 80's but I guess not! Yea!
Well Ive got to tell you that I have not seen anyplace here in Los Angeles that offer Jazzercise. Pilates and Yoga are the preferred method of exercise for the older crowd. 24hr Fitness, Ballys, Golds, LA Fitness and Equinox do not offer Jazzercise. I stand by my earlier post that it is a relic of old timey work out methods.

You had me curious since they keep growing in our area and I see them as I travel. I know they are a franchise, so checked them out on Entrepeneur Magazine which does an annual rating of all franchises based on their concept, their growth rate, and their established store performance.

I couldn't believe this was true so I went to the Jazzercise Web site and put in a LA zip code. There are 34 locations in the Los Angeles metro area that offer Jazzercise.
Jazzercise is a business. They compete with the fitness clubs for clients so it makes sense that usually the two don't partner and offer Jazzercise classes at some other fitness company's location. The classes are usually held in community or recreation centers, churches, schools, etc.
