MIDDLETOWN >> Lake County Jazzercise opened the doors of its center in September of 2009. At that time the center, also known as Armstrong Hall, offered 17 classes per week taught by five instructors. Five years later, Lake County Jazzercise offers 31 classes per week taught by seven instructors.
To celebrate its five year anniversary, Lake County Jazzercise will hold an open house from Thursday at 4 p.m. to noon on Saturday with classes offered free-of-charge and participants will receive raffle tickets for prizes.
In addition, Impact Options, a workout apparel retailer from Sacramento, will sell women”s fashion activewear during the celebration.
In a Jazzercise group dance fitness class, customers burn up to 600 calories in one 60 minute total body workout. Every class combines dance-based cardio with strength training and stretching to sculpt, tone and lengthen muscles for maximum fat burn.
More than a dozen classes have childcare available and six “lite” classes suitable for people with mobility limitations or who want to start off slowly.
Lake County Jazzercise owner, Beth Rudiger, said “The Jazzercise philosophy has always been that exercise is for everyone, and by using effective movements, jazz dance and popular music, we continually strive to make it fun for participants, too. We welcome anyone to our classes who wants to have a little fun and work up a sweat at the same time.”
Choreographed to today”s music, Jazzercise is a fusion of jazz dance, aerobic exercise, resistance training, Pilates, yoga and kickboxing.
