Hi! I am Laura Wackett, Jazzercise Instructor and Owner of the Haymarket/Gainesville/Bristow (HGB) Jazzercise Center. I have been Jazzercising since 1995, became addicted, and Jazzercised while traveling on business in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and California. In October of 2001, I became a Certified Jazzercise Instructor. To become an instructor one must pass examinations in basic anatomy and exercise physiology, nutrition, body composition, and dance technique and injury prevention consistent with the AFAA (Aerobics Fitness Association of America) Basic Standards and Guidelines. In addition, all Jazzercise Instructors are CPR certified. In January 2002, I took over the Gainesville/Haymarket Jazzercise classes and over the past 5 years I with the help of my associates and class managers, have grown the classes from 3 classes a week to 13 classes a week and opened the Haymarket/Gainesville/Bristow Jazzercise Fitness Center. This has been the most exciting experience! The classes have grown and the friendships that have formed are beautiful. Come join us! Jazzercise fits every age, size, and fitness level. We have a lot of FUN together as you will see in this website!

In addition to being a Jazzercise instructor, I am a new mom! My husband, Greg, and I welcomed Taylor Marie into our lives on August 10. Greg is a wonderful Jazzercise husband! He builds stages, improves sound systems, and supports the efforts HGB Jazzercise Center 100%! We also share a passion for Saleen Mustangs.
