Disguised BLESSINGS

After closing the pastry shop in 2010, the couple moved around until deciding it was time to start a family. At that point they knew they wanted to be closer to their own families and in 2013 returned to the Midwest, settling in Sabin, Minnesota, where they now live with two lively boys. Identical twins, Curtis and Matthew, now two-years-old are the center of Sommer’s life.

Also central to her life was her neverending passion for Jazzercise. Realizing when they moved back there were no longer any Jazzercise classes in the area, Sommers decided to start her own Jazzercise business.

Today you’ll find Sommers expertly balancing life as a wife, mom and Jazzercise instructor. Her face lights up as she talks about her students, many of whom remember Jazzercise from the 80s and welcomed its return to the area. “As an instructor I love looking out and seeing people smile,” says Sommers. “I like seeing their successes.”

She describes how Jazzercise in many ways has remained the same and in others has evolved to include yoga, Pilates, resistance training and kickboxing moves. “We always have current, top 100 hits in class,” says Sommers, “and now offer eight different formats to add variety in your workout and keep your body guessing.”

Classes are held at the PRACS building in Fargo where there is plenty of space, where laughter rings out, old friendships are rekindled and new ones made.

It’s a comfortable place where all are welcome and beginners will never feel intimidated. Sommers adjusts the classes to accommodate all levels, layering moves as students become adept.

And what about the pastry chef? Referring to their family’s culinary specialties Sommers says, “He makes great meals and I make the dessert. We still do. My two professions pair very well together. I don’t feel as guilty eating everything that I make and I do love to eat them.”
