Karen Maclennan

I started Jazzercise at the age of 26, qualifying as an instructor in 2004. Since then, it has been a constant in my life.

I was originally the owner and instructor of Jazzercise Aberdeen City and Jazzercise Aberdeenshire, running more than 36 classes each week. I also delivered the Jazzercise Kids Get Fit programme in schools, alongside weekly Junior Jazzercise classes for primary school-aged children.

After moving to Linlithgow in November 2020, I launched Jazzercise Linlithgow in August 2021.

Jazzercise has given me the opportunity to run my own business while staying fit and healthy, both mentally and physically. It has also offered the flexibility I needed while juggling life as a business owner and a busy mum of four. I’ve always loved what I do and hope to continue sharing that passion with my customers for many years to come.

In 2024, my daughter qualified as a Jazzercise instructor and is now part of our Linlithgow teaching team—a very proud mum moment.

Our local community has grown from just a handful of customers in 2021 to classes packed six days a week. As our team continues to grow, we look forward to offering even more classes and greater flexibility, giving you more opportunities to dance each week.

And remember… your moves don’t have to be perfect to burn calories—just show up and enjoy.
