“Yeah it is I I find it still hard to believe I'm very honored by it, and I respect it, and I feel responsible. But yeah, it's still often difficult for me to believe because, you know, at heart, and this might sound sappy, but at heart I still feel like I'm that little Iowa girl, you know, growing up in the Midwest, having that hard work ethic and get up in the morning and do what you can and make a difference. So if I can say that I've made a difference in somebody's life and more people than I would have thought, I will die happy. I will.”

“Yeah, I think it's 50 50. For me, that's really what I feel. I think, you know, timing has been right in so many instances, which we talked about. But then, you know, the timing can be right and it can be sitting right out there in front of you. But if you don't take advantage of it and you don't have the awareness that this is something you got to do and you're going to have to work your dairy air off to make it happen, then it ain't going to happen.”

“You know, it was fun. I mean, I think it did come naturally to me, even though my mother used to say when I was growing up, because she was such a great business person, but she always would say, oh, Judy, I'll never be a business person because she just don't have a head for figures. But let me tell you, the secret, I think, to anybody's success is having people around you who lift you up, people who are passionate about your passion, but who have their own passion that they bring to the party. And I have been extremely lucky in being able to have those kinds of people around me all the time. They're smart. And I want them to be smarter than I am. That's one of my gifts to find people like that and let them help me. Because goodness knows I don't know everything.”

“So there's a lot of options and the diversity is what we love. And we always say to our franchisees, when you look out at your customers, you should be seeing all kinds of different people. Kinds of bodies shapes, all kinds of colors and ages. And because somebody who is older sixty five can do the class right along somebody who's twenty five, and you know you make friends with a twenty five year old or a 25 year old goes to coffee with 55-year-olds and everybody enjoys it.”

“Well, each franchise is different depending on the area that they're in and so forth. But the average would be maybe around 79, $69 a month.”

“Yeah, it's been challenging, but we're really doing quite well. We were able to pivot almost overnight. The minute our classes shut down, we were able to bring our customers all over the world onto our jazzer size on demand app so that they wouldn't have to miss class because they could do them online. And with this app, they can do them at three in the morning or whatever works for you. So that really kept a lot of our customers with us. Now, granted, sure, we've lost some. But as time has evolved, we not only have those kinds of classes available, we also helped our instructors be able to Live stream their own classes to their own customers. So they've been able to keep them.”

“Um well sure it's a little frustrating, but I certainly accept it and understand why people might think that way. The thing about it is we're really thriving right now in a time when a lot of other businesses are not and a lot of other fitness businesses are not thriving. I think it's when people say, oh, is Jazzercise still around or are they still, you know, doing what my mom used to do? Well, I say to them, stop and think for a minute. Would we still be around if we were doing the same things? Of course not. The reason we're the only fitness company that started way back when that still thriving is because we've made good choices. We have changed through the decades. We've never stayed the same.”

“So we weren't able to hold on to some of those customers. But one of the things that we did is we put together a new structure to help us with that problem called a Jazzerize Associate, which is an instructor who doesn't run a business, who only teaches for instructors who own their own chazer size business. If an owner decided to retire, usually there was an associate who could take over and keep the customers and keep the classes. That worked really well.”

“That was a thing. It Yeah, well, it never really bothered me because I felt like the people who were celebrities, and of course we have Richard Simmons as well, you know, all getting into it, it just gave people more awareness. And then they could pick what they wanted to do. But I don't consider myself a celebrity. I am the founder of this program and this company, and we have many, many, many people who are representative of the program in our instructors. Whereas the people who are celebrities are pretty much just that. You know, they were just one person. We were thousands of people. And, you know, there were times when, you know, I've met Jane and all those other people and we've gotten awards all of us together. And, you know, it's always very friendly and it's always been just fine.”

“Oh, you know, I was always an advocate for women's rights ever since my Northwestern days, but I have always tried to keep jazzercise apolitical, apologious, you know, all of those things. But on my own, I was always vocal about women's rights. And I was always proud that I was helping women become business people and to build a business that they could use and hopefully thrive with. So in my own way, even though we were not standing on our soapbox preaching women's rights, we were doing it in a subtle way, and we still do today, of course.”

“And what about a t shirt? And I was like, oh my gosh. So I went to Connie and I said, Hey, do you want to go into business with me a little bit? We'll make some t-shirts and some leotards and sell them in class and see what happens. So that's what we did. And we sold out in two days.”

“I know, I know but anyway I you know okay so then the interesting thing was I went on this show but I thought before I went on I thought you know I need to wear something that says jazzer size on it And I had an instructor who was also an artist and a good friend. And I said, Connie, can you design like a logo? And we'll put it on the front of the Leotard. And she designed this cute chazerise and had a couple of little exercise dancer figures on it. And I wore it on the show. Well, when I taught class the next day everybody came up to me Where can we get those leotards? We want those, you know.”

“I had written a book in the late 70s with another woman who happened to be in my class. So he wrote this book with pictures of how to do different exercises and, you know, a little history of dance and all of that. And the publisher was Bannon Books, which was quite a large publisher. And my husband said, well, what are they going to do to market the book? And I said, well, I don't know what they're going to do to promote it. But the dinosaur show was hit.”

“Well, we were doing fine. We never really had to do that. And there was one time that Margaret, my COO, said, well, you know, I think we should try to get a line of credit just in case something big comes up and we need money for it. And so we had been banking with this one bank in Carlsbad. And there corporate headquarters were in LA. So we go to LA. We have all of our papers, all of our ducks in a row to show them how well we're doing and everything. And so the gentleman looks through everything and I could tell he wasn't impressed. He looked at me and he said, well, it looks like you're doing really well in the Southern California area. Few other places But he said, you know, I just don't see this as being something that will grow. And it's an exercise thing, and I just don't know if that's really going to catch on.”

“Exactly, and even today our startup fee is only twelve fifty. $1,250. But so you had that expense and your wardrobe and, you know. It's a little bit more involved than that. We have better sound systems for people who have brick and mortar. It's going to be more expensive, but they have control of that as far as if they do have a brick and mortar, if they don't build it themselves and they rent it, it's, you know, their rent and their billout and all that.”

“Correct They would have a low franchise fee, which really paid for their training. And then they would have a continuing franchise fee, which would be monthly based on the amount of money that they took in. And, you know, that worked well. And in fact, in the 80s, there were two big franchises, us and Domino's pizza, which is kind of ironic because it's sort of like, well, dominoes kind of kept us in business. And then we would get people fed and they could go eat their pizza. So it was a trade.”

“So you don't fit into that niche, and you're going to get into trouble if you don't make some changes. And I said, okay, give me my options. And they said, well, you can make them employees, or you can make them a franchisee. And this is like 1980, around 80, 81. And I said, okay, well, I know what employees are and I don't want to do that because all these women feel like it's their business. You know, they know they're tied into me, but they have a lot of options. And it's their own business, and I don't want to take that away from them. So they said, Well, then franchising is the way to go. But, you know, at the time franchising wasn't what it is today. Back then, it was Burger King or McDonald's.”

“Yeah. Well, I had to. I mean, it was growing. I brought in another woman who kind of helped me with marketing. Then I had to get an accountant, of course, and an attorney. And I actually. A couple of people to be workshop trainers for me, so the new instructors would come to the workshop and I wouldn't have to train them, but these designated women that I trusted were then the trainers. That was a great thing to be able to do. Have them do that. But then all of these instructors, they're all independent contractors. So, you know, we're getting. There's like a thousand of them now, and they're all over hither and thither. And my accountant and my attorney, they said, you know, you're going to have to make a decision here because you're asking more from them than just being an independent contractor.”

“It is, but we have a lot more brick and mortar now. Yeah. Well, and of course eventually I stopped going out and had my own brick and mortar place as well. But now I realized I had to have some help with this organization. It was just growing like crazy. And so the woman who had helped me with the copyright, I asked her, would you be able to come and kind of be my manager for all of this? And she said, Oh my God, I'd love to. I don't want to work for my husband anymore. And I want to get my MBA. So she said, I can do that and work for you. And her name was Margaret Stanton. And she was with me for over 20 years and became my COO.”

“Charge people and made money from it. Well, when I train those first instructors, we worked out a commission process that they would pay me a certain percentage for the choreography and the instruction and the training. And then the rest of it, they could keep. And then when people started moving to other parts of the country, the instructors continued to pay a percentage back to Jazzercise.”

And then the instructors, whoever it is, we can send them the tape and then they'll be able to see the real live thing. And it was brilliant. We were able to expand on a more national basis because of that, because eventually we didn't have just two video recorders. Our living room in our little rented house in Vista was filled with recorders.”

People were coming from everywhere. Now I was bringing people we would come to my little rented house and visit California and train. And I had a lot of women who were Either in the military or they were spouses, significant other, you know, And they got deployed, or they got, they had to move, and they wanted to keep teaching. And they said, Well, you know, can we? I said, well, I guess so, let's try it, but it's really hard to interpret the written choreography into the real thing. But guess what came out on the market about that same time home recorders and video cameras.”

“Well, in the meantime, I went and searched for a microphone for myself, and let me tell you guys it was a search. I went through every kind of mic there was. I had lavalier mics that hooked around my neck, but it was so big that it would bounce on my chest. And when I got done teaching a big old bruise. Finally, I found one that was a lavalier mic that was smaller and had a kind of a big old battery pack, but I could get a belt, clip it onto the belt, and then stick the lavalier, you know, on my leotard. And that worked pretty darn well. And it amplified my voice and my nodules went down. And as I trained instructors, they all got microphones like that. I really believe I was certainly the pioneer of all that.”

“And so during those five days, I had time to think. And I thought, maybe I could train some people to help me if I picked women who had been with me in my classes for a while and who had dance backgrounds or physical education backgrounds. So I train five women. gave them the choreography notes got the music for them about a week later i got all these calls from other customers saying oh judy thank you so much for training these instructors because we knew you were going to cancel our class and we just didn't want that and now you've got help and and they were great and thank you and wow that was such Relief, you know.”

I can help you with them. First of all, you have to stay silent for five days. And let the swelling go down. He said, Then you gotta figure out, you got to do something differently, you know, with what you're doing. He said, maybe you need to quit teaching so many classes. And, you know, I was devastated because that's scary. He said, if I didn't do something differently, I would lose my voice permanently. So I stopped talking for five days.
