Staff
Standard for Industry Training
A Jazzercise Instructor applicant is trained and must be certified before becoming a franchisee. (Every certified instructor holds a franchise.) The certification program, conducted worldwide through many regularly scheduled two- to three-day workshops, is comprehensive and requires substantial advance preparation.
Health and Fitness: Pre-workshop study of basic anatomy, exercise physiology, nutrition, body composition, dance technique, injury prevention, exercise leadership and Jazzercise teaching technique prepares trainees for a 100-question written exam.
Performance: Trainees must learn several Jazzercise routines, some of which must be presented during a practical exam.
CPR: Trainees must obtain a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certificate (before attending a workshop) and are required to maintain the certification once they become franchisees.
Instructor training curriculum and course materials are consistent with the AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America) Basic Standards and Guidelines.

When I finished school and settled into my job, I made Jazzercise a part of my weekly schedule. After a few years of loving the workout, I certified to be an instructor in 1999. Not only does Jazzercise make me physically stronger, it is the best "me time" I can give myself. I have met the nicest people along the way, and the friendships and fun I've had are irreplaceable. From working - to being a mom - and everything in between, I always have Jazzercise to keep my energy level up and my stress level down. Whether you come to Jazzercise first thing in the morning or at the end of your day - you will be glad you did!!! Hope to see you soon!!

After getting married I decided it was time to start a healthy lifestyle. I knew that to achieve my goal I needed to start with exercise. I found a coupon for Jazzercise - tried it - and haven't left! After being a student for four years, I decided to turn my love for dance and exercise into becoming part of the Wisconsin Rapids instructing team! I have been an instructor since September 2002. I need Jazzercise in my life because it is a stress reliever, fun, and for the friendships that you maintain by coming. Looking forward to seeing you in class!

Welcome to Central Wisconsin Jazzercise!! After being an enthusiastic Jazzercise student for over 20 years, I certified in September 2004 and am very excited to be part of the Central Wisconsin team of instructors. I love the fact that Jazzercise helps us dance our way to fitness.

Hi Everyone,
I had been doing Jazzercise for about 8 years, when my home life became less hectic. My son moved out of state, I completed all my education for my full-time job and my husband works shift work. I needed something to fill the time at home and "keep me busy!" I decided to challenge myself and become an instructor. I accomplished that in June of 2008 and I haven't had any regrets! Although it is a great challenge, the rewards I have received have made it all worth the effort.
I look forward to challenging all students to become physically fit, relieve stress, have a great time, meet new people and enjoy an hour or so out of your day all for yourself!
Come join me -- you won't regret it, I guarantee it!!
