My weight has been a battle that I have dealt with since I was a child. I was constantly watching the scale go up and down. Eventually, it went up but never came back down. It seemed that the older I was getting, the higher my weight was getting.
In October of 2009, I went to the doctor for a routine check up. When I stepped on the scale, I was in shock and disgust with the number I saw. I thought to myself, how could I let myself go like this??? I knew at that moment that I had to do something or else my health would just get worse.
The next day, I checked the mail and there was a postcard from Jazzercise advertising a “Forever Fit” program. I knew it was a sign. There was a reason I got the postcard in the mail that day. I thought to myself and said “This is it. This is my chance to change myself for the better!” So, I immediately called and that is when I spoke with Michele, the owner of the Carmel/Zionsville division of Jazzercise. She went over the details of the program with me and I said “Sign me up! I am ready for this!”
On Saturday, October 10, 2009 I went to get my weight and measurements taken for the program. I was a nervous wreck! I did not know what to expect! When I got there I was greeted with a smile and the class managers that helped me, were so nice! That just made my day! They took all of info, gave me a class schedule, schedules for the seminars, all the tools I needed to get started on my new healthy lifestyle! I was all set!
On Monday, October 12, 2009, I walked into my first Jazzercise class. I was so nervous and anxious. I did not know what to expect. I did not think that I would fit in at all. I was very surprised to find that I did fit in. Everyone was so nice and welcomed me with open arms. I said to myself “I am going to love this.”
As the weeks went by, I was beginning to notice my body changing for the better. I had more energy, my clothes were starting to get loose, I was loving it!!! Best of all, Jazzercise was starting to get easier for me.. I was making it through the classes with no problem at all!
Well, just four short months later, I am very happy to report that I have lost an amazing 33 pounds and 10 ½ inches!!!! I am so happy with myself and I owe it all to Jazzercise! If it was not for Michele and the rest of the Jazzercise team, I know that I would not be where I am today. Everyone with Jazzercise has motivated me to keep going everyday and that is something that I am so thankful for.Thank you Jazzercise for giving me a new outlook on life! I now know that I can be the woman that I have always wanted to be!!! I will definitely be Jazzercising for years to come!!!!

 It’s not just a chick thing-
A jazzercise workout is great for the gray matter – engaging mind, body, and spirit with well-balanced exercise, current music and FUN.
As a bonus, a jazzercise workout is sometimes great eye candy as well! Last Saturday the Zionsville class hosted its annual ‘Hunk-a-Rama’ and several women brought along a friend, hubby or son to join in with the class.
Almost 20 guys (ages 12-82) attended – and did their best to keep up with the gals. Instructor/Owner Michele Teague handed out trophies at the end of the class:
- Most Manly Man 2009
- Best Mover & Shaker
- Biggest Hunk
- Best Hair
- Best Legs
- Mr. Natural
- Best Dude
The guys may’ve been still huffing and puffing a bit when they went up to accept their awards, but not one of them was too tired to hold their trophy aloft and smile for the group picture. Can you say, [hunk ‘a] “cheese!”
