MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Jazzercise Inc. international fitness franchise business will be spotlighted on the new original real life series “Be the Boss,” on A&E Network Dec. 30 at 11 p.m.
From the Emmy-Award winning creators of “Undercover Boss,” this competition-based series will feature two Jazzercise franchisees vying for the opportunity to own a Jazzercise Fitness Center – similar to the Lake County Jazzercise Fitness Center owned by Beth Rudiger in Middletown – or, in essence, become their own boss.
In the Jazzercise episode, two Jazzercise instructors are summoned to corporate headquarters by Jazzercise founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett, where they discover they are eligible for a rare career opportunity.
Through the course of the week, both Jazzercise instructors are put through rigorous job-related challenges to determine who should earn the coveted position. What these instructors don’t realize is that an even greater prize is at stake – the keys to their very own center!
In honor of the company’s appearance on “Be the Boss,” Jazzercise locations nationwide, including the Lake County Jazzercise Fitness Center in Middletown, will be participating in contests on Jazzercise Inc.’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Those who follow the Jazzercise episode on Twitter or “Like” Jazzercise on Facebook and answer trivia questions based on the show correctly are eligible for three free months of Jazzercise at any participating location or a $300 Jazzercise Apparel gift card.
The Lake County Jazzercise Fitness Center in Middletown is proud to be part of the world’s leading dance fitness program, which ranked as No. 3 home based franchise, No. 3 low cost franchise and No. 13 overall on the 2012 Entrepreneur Magazine Franchise 500.
