400 Years of Fitness

Members of Fairfax Jazzercise were recently asked who had been working out with this fitness program for more than 20 years. That timeline was soon extended to include up to 40 years (and in some cases more) as members reported on how and when they started this program and how long they've been participating in it. The pictured group (shown at the Vienna Community Center) represents a few of those who've been lifelong participants in the program. Members cited good schedules, great instruction, accommodation of all fitness types, and the fresh and lively music they hear in each class as reasons they've stayed with the program. Noting how much fun they have, members also mentioned the lifelong friendships they've established, seeing each other through life's good and bad times. Collectively, this group reprents some 400 years of fitness! According to the website www.jazzercise.com, the goal of Jazzercise is "to introduce you to a workout program that makes you feel so good, you'll stick to it—for life." For this group? Goal accomplished!
