CelebWell – The Diet That Fuels Jazzercise’s Shanna Missett Nelson for High-Energy Workouts—EXCLUSIVE

04/08/2025

Shanna Missett Nelson in a black one-shoulder crop top and leggings stands smiling with hand on hip in front of tall cacti in a garden setting.

Shanna Missett Nelson is a driving force behind legendary fitness program, Jazzercise—a blend of dance cardio, strength training, hip-hop, Pilates, kickboxing, and yoga. After engaging in several sweat sessions with Shanna, founder Judi Sheppard Missett, and the Jazzercise team, we can personally attest to the sense of community the classes provide. Jazzercise is more than just a workout; it’s honestly a lifestyle. (Plus, some of the workouts kicked our butts in the best way!)

Given her passion and dedication to fitness, it’s no surprise Shanna is in excellent shape. We chatted with the CEO and chief choreographer of Jazzercise to find out the diet that fuels her high-energy workouts, how she stays injury-free, and the types of training she swears by for a strong and sculpted core.
