Jazzercise, a fitness franchise that combines dance, strength and resistance training with popular music for a full-body workout class, will be opening a new location in Muddy Branch Square next to Giant. The workout classes that have been around for over 50 years have additional Montgomery County locations in Aspen Hill, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, and Silver Spring.
Judi Sheppard Missett began teaching an easy-to-follow dance class back in 1969. Blending jazz dance, Pilates, cardio kickboxing, resistance training and yoga, Jazzercise program benefits include improved cardiovascular endurance, increased strength and flexibility plus an overall “feel good” factor, according to the company. The international business franchise now boasts over 8,500 franchisees teaching more than 32,000 classes a week in 25 countries, and Missett serves as the company’s CEO.
Jazzercise joins Lum Thai as upcoming tenants for the Muddy Branch Square shopping center in Gaithersburg. An opening date for the new location has not yet been provided.
