A longtime community volunteer in Greater Austin, Texas, Nancy Naeve has retired from leadership positions with the Lost Creek Neighborhood Association and the Lost Creek Municipal Utility District. Nancy Naeve stays physically fit by regularly participating in Jazzercise classes.
Founded by Judi Sheppard Missett more than 50 years ago, Jazzercise was a cultural phenomenon in the 1980s. Industry experts credit the dance-based exercise program with giving birth to the diverse boutique fitness revolution of today.
Although is now commands a far smaller part of the market share, Jazzercise remains alive and well today. In 2019, Glamour Magazine reported that the Jazzercise franchise brought in more than $2 billion in sales through a network of 8,500 locations that spanned 25 countries, holding roughly 32,000 classes per week.
In addition to its widespread brick-and-mortar exercise studios, Jazzercise offers virtual classes online that are accessible at any time and from any location with wi-fi. These classes require no equipment whatsoever.
