Meet Your Instructor

Karen began her fitness journey in 1991 by auditioning as a Jazzercise instructor and becoming a licensed franchisee. She taught her first class at the Municipal Auditorium to a crowd of 60 to 75 people, which was an incredible start.

In 1992, she opened the Lifetime Fitness and Jazzercise Center on Montgomery Street (in the building where Aunt Sherrie's preschool is currently located). Thanks to strong community support, it became a very special place for people of all ages.
