JAZZERCISE ELK GROVE TRAINS, ADDS NEW INSTRUCTOR TO CENTER

Kristine — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 22:11:47 +0000

(ELK GROVE, CA) – Jazzercise Elk Grove Fitness Center announced today it is adding a newly-certified instructor to its fold. Wendy Mullahey, a newly certified Jazzercise instructor, will begin teaching classes at the Elk Grove center immediately.

Mullahey earned the right to teach Jazzercise by completing an intense three-day workshop and performing a letter-perfect audition. Becoming a Jazzercise instructor requires dedication and thorough training. After submitting adequate references and putting in long hours of practice, Mullahey recently participated in a rigorous workshop in Pleasanton, sponsored by the Franchise Programs and Services Department of Jazzercise, Inc. She was required to learn 10 Jazzercise routines for her audition; pass a written exam on basic anatomy, exercise physiology and nutrition; learn Jazzercise business practices; and become certified to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

“The training process is incredibly strenuous and challenging,” said Jazzercise Elk Grove center owner Kristine Roberson, who is the Central California Quality Coordinator for Jazzercise, Inc., and mentored Mullahey through the process. “It is one of the most difficult group fitness certifications to attain in the United States. We are all really proud of Wendy and all of the hard work she put into attaining her goal.”

Mullahey will join Roberson and the Elk Grove team of certified instructors to continue offering a plethora of effective, fun and challenging fitness classes. The Elk Grove center currently offers more than 20 weekly classes, including 9:20 am (7 days a week); 4:50 pm (Monday-Friday); and 6 pm (Monday-Thursday).

Jazzercise combines effective exercise with dance-based choreography and popular music. Each 60-minute high-energy class includes a warm up, aerobic segment, muscle toning and flexibility exercises, and a cool-down. Fresh choreography is continually introduced into the program as Jazzercise founder Judi Sheppard Missett creates new routines every ten weeks. The non-competitive atmosphere makes it easy for people of all fitness levels to participate. Instructors demonstrate both challenging movements and low-impact variations. Most importantly, Jazzercise classes are designed to be fun!

Instructors may also offer classes in several alternative formats, including Jazzercise Lite, Jazzercise Personal Touch and Junior Jazzercise.

Workout clothes getting too much of a workout?

Kristine — Thu, 20 May 2010 18:30:25 +0000

During one of my plethora of Quality Coordinator expeditions around Central California, I came across Barry of Dancing West! If you know Barry, you know he has the cutest workout clothes at very reasonable prices! Barry carries all the brands you see in the Jazzertogs catalogs, and some of the same styles, too.

Barry is offering to bring his wares to Galt! We will nail down the date and time, but what I need to know from everyone is if there is enough interest for him to be here. He brings with him tons of workout pants, capris, shorts, tanks, coverups, etc. The only things I’ve never seen him bring are socks and shoes! I saw a cute pair of capri pants on one of his racks for about $36, and several of his tanks are priced at $20, to give you an idea of his prices.

If you might be interested in taking a look at his inventory in Galt someday soon, just let me know, so I can give Barry a headcount of about how many Jazzercisers to expect. I know me, Dina and Delia will be first in line!
