Christy Owed

My name is Christy Owed,

I have been a certified Jazzercise instructor for 21 years. My husband and I have been married for 33 years and have two grown children and one granddaughter.

I started getting interested in fitness when I was about 14 years old, out of shape and over weight. In the process of my 35lb weight loss I found I loved to teach, I taught my first class when the club instructor didn't show up and I took over. That was a long time ago and "certification" was a losly based word.

At 18 my sister invited me to my first Jazzercise class and I was hooked. But it wasn't until 14 years later and many classes, getting married and raising 2 children, that I made the decission to start my franchise process with Jazzercise. I now own 8 classes a week and after 21 years I love it as much as I did the first year.

Travel is one of my favorite past times, and I'm always looking to take classes when I'm on vacation. Most of the time they aren't offered and I end up in a boring fitness room full of weights.

For me to be able to combine travel and teaching it would be my dream. So if there is a way to make that happen I'm all for it.
