May a Jazzercise center rented or owned by a Business-Only franchisee have a weight room with weight and aerobic machines on the premises?

A weight room is considered to be in the same category as a shower room or sauna. It is an amenity that a center can provide to customers.

Could a Jazzercise Business-Only franchisee hire a non-Jazzercise instructor to run the weight room?

Yes, a non-Jazzercise franchisee certified by a reputable organization such as ACE or AFAA could be hired to give orientations and help clients in the weight room. Jazzercise liability insurance does not cover the weight room; therefore a center must buy additional liability insurance if a weight room is installed.
