Jazzercise and ABC Fitness Partner to Offer Best-In-Class Member Management Solutions and Integrated Experiences
Innovation and excellence prove a winning combination in the selection of Jazzercise's first outside member management partner in fifty years
Dallas, Texas – February 15, 2024 - ABC Fitness the number one tech provider for fitness businesses everywhere, and Jazzercise, the global dance fitness company, are proud to announce a partnership that will keep the fun in fitness for millions of members worldwide. Venturing into year 55, Jazzercise’s decision to team up with ABC Glofox – the leading member management software for boutique fitness, gyms, and studios from ABC Fitness – is part of the brand’s commitment to providing best-in-class experiences to members and franchisees. The collaboration is a first for Jazzercise, as the company has never, in its five-decade history, brought in an outside member management solution provider. In doing so, Jazzercise will utilize ABC Glofox’s full suite of tools including the administration of various business functions such as sales and marketing, member engagement and retention as well as payment processing, reporting and digital content.
For over half a century, Jazzercise, a female-founded, owned, and run business, has been on a mission to create fun, inclusive environments for fitness enthusiasts. Through a variety of workouts touting effective results, the company offers a full-body dance fitness routine that combines calorie-torching dance cardio and powerful strength training. With a track record in retention, Jazzercise’s customers have an average of remaining within the programs for at least seven years, due to the company’s promise of bringing fresh workouts, new music, and the latest exercise science to keep the program up to date. With 1,668 global franchise locations, 6,419 franchisees and a presence in 20 countries worldwide, Jazzercise meets all members wherever they are, regardless of age or fitness level. The brand features classes in-studio, on demand, and via livestream, resulting in more than 32,000 Jazzercise classes being taught per week.
Prior to the pandemic, Jazzercise was already investing in digital content and hybrid fitness solutions as it continued to evolve its appeal. In a post-covid world where fitness habits have permanently shifted, Jazzercise recognized innovative technology is fundamental to the delivery and experience it provides the next generation of women enjoying the iconic Jazzercise regiments. Having previously developed proprietary IT management systems in-house, Jazzercise made the decision to search for a like-minded partner that could match its passion for fitness on a global scale and take it to the next level. Following a rigorous five-company bidding process, Jazzercise selected ABC Glofox.
“Experience and exemplary service are the core of what differentiates Jazzercise and allows us to retain customers year-over-year,” said Bobbi Quick, president of Jazzercise. “We are thrilled with our selection of ABC Glofox, this partnership is a representation of the growth shaping the future of Jazzercise.
