Jazzercise of Roxbury

I’ve been a member for a few years. The only reason why I keep going back is the proximity and the large number of classes available per week. Thus, you can go anytime in the morning, noon or late afternoon.
The only thing is that in the past year, the quality of teachers has deteriorated. I only have 2 – 3 favorite teachers and try to attend their classes inorder to ensure a good workout. Most of the other students do this, too. They «follow» the good teachers. So everyone looks at the «white board» where the schedules/​teachers are listed.
There are times the owner is sneaky and does not put the «teacher substitution» till the last minute, even if they already knew beforehand. Thus, I have come to a class expecting my favorite teacher for a good workout, only to get a newbie teacher and ended up with a crappy workout.
The fees are pricey. I pay $ 50 a month. Compared to other nearby gyms, this is expensive and if the class teacher is not good that day, I feel like I was short changed.
The staff is nice and friendly to you most times. The owner, Stacey only chooses who she’ll be friendly with. I’ve been there for more than 3 years and she does not know me by name. If she’s been making money out of my gym dues, she should at least make an effort to get to know her members by name.
