Meet Stephanie Brawley and Lisa Jarkowski of Jazzercise in Deerfield Beach

Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Brawley and Lisa Jarkowski.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Jazzercise is a pulse-pounding, beat-pumping fitness program that gets you results… fast. It’s a calorie-torching, hip-swiveling dance party workout to put your abs to the test, with a hot playlist to distract you from the burn. Incinerate up to 800 calories per hour in one 60 minute class. Our classes — dance mixx, interval, strike, fusion, strength and core — will leave you breathless, toned and coming back for more. Expect to feel results after 3 classes and expect to stick with it. Why? Because it works.

Our Story:
• Jazzercise was the original dance party workout and today, 45 years in, we’ve grown into one of the world’s leading dance fitness companies.
• As instructors we’re 8,300 strong, teaching more than 32,000 classes each week and transforming approximately 250,000 customers each year all over the world.
• Why are we still here? Because our program works! We know how to get results and how to keep workouts fresh and challenging.
• We’ve been constantly evolving the Jazzercise method over the last 45 years and continue to do so, adding new moves, new beats and new classes.
• We keep customers motivated and coming back for more.
• Come to class. What you will see is sweat, swagger and high intensity endorphin-packed workouts

Locally at our Boca Raton/North Broward Jazzercise Fitness Center, we offer 25 classes weekly and serve the Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach areas. We have been serving this community for over 20 years.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The fitness industry is always a challenge. There is so much competition, especially in South Florida. However, we have a passion for what we do and our customers have the same passion. They stick with us. I have been with this program for 36 years and our customers stay with it for the long haul too. There is no other program that compares.

Jazzercise – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
We are a dance fitness program and our choreography sets us apart. We are most proud of being a fitness company that has lasted almost 50 years. This is unheard of.

GIRLFORCE IS HERE TO STAY
GirlForce began in 2017 as a way to offer a safe space for young women ages 16-21 to have fun getting fit. Jazzercise classes mix modern dance with kickboxing and Pilates moves all choreographed to the latest Top-40 hits.

With the high price of boutique fitness memberships, we want to continue to offer young women the opportunity to get an efficient, full-body workout without crushing their budgets.

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success for us is being the best program and fitness professionals we can be and changing the lives of our customers by providing a fitness program that they love, that is fun and keeps them coming back for more year after year.
