MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Yes, Jazzercise still exists and it’s right here in Lake County.

The company’s management team has been constantly evolving the Jazzercise method over the last 45 years and continues to do so, adding new moves, new beats and new classes which Lake County instructor Beth Rudiger and her team bring to their studio in Middletown on a daily basis.

The community is invited to join the party at Lake County Jazzercise in Middletown on Jan. 6 as the business celebrates the 10th anniversary of the first Jazzercise class in Lake County.

The festivities will begin with a team-taught Jazzercise class from 4 to 5 p.m. featuring Jazzercise routines from 2006 to 2015.

“Happy Hour” begins at 5 p.m. with champagne, sparkling cider, appetizers, a running slideshow, a raffle and a ribbon cutting at 5:30 p.m. by the Lake County Chamber of Commerce.

“Happy Hour” is open to everyone – no reservation needed – and come as you are. Because space is limited, participants must have a reservation for the class. If needed, a second class will be offered from 6 to 7 p.m.

The 10th anniversary party also features a special $10 Jazzercise sign-up offer that is available only at the Lake County Jazzercise Fitness Center during the celebration on Jan. 6.

For more details or to make a reservation for the 10th anniversary class, please call or email Beth Rudiger, 707-260-2900, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

On Jan. 6, 2006, certified Jazzercise instructor Beth Rudiger taught the first Jazzercise class in Lake County at Tyrell Martial Arts in Hidden Valley Lake to six customers.

Over the following years, Lake County Jazzercise moved to the Community Center of Hidden Valley Lake, the social hall of the Middletown Methodist Church, the now-defunct P.A.C.K. Center, and, finally, in September of 2009, into its own studio space at 15642 Armstrong Street in Middletown. Class offerings grew from six classes per week to a high of 32 classes per week.

Now, classes are taught by seven Jazzercise instructors who work with Rudiger: Marla Drake, Keri Griffin, Brenda Breeden, Stephanie Diehl, Jamie McDowell, Ronda Backlin and Clattie Skiles.

Past Jazzercise instructors included MaryGrace McMahon, Reikor Deacon, Amanda Boman, April Fenk and Shaylah Hunt.

Jazzercise customers are motivated and keep coming back for more because they get results. You won’t see a single leotard or legwarmer in class today. What you will see is sweat, swagger and high intensity, endorphin-packed workouts that leave the 80’s behind.
