One of the biggest fads of the ’80s was without a doubt Jazzercise. With Olivia Newton John’s song Let’s Get Physical topping the charts, the exercise craze took over the country, with neon leotards, spandex shorts, and leg warmers becoming fashion necessities.

The aerobic-dance workout became all the rage thanks to fitness gurus like Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons, whose VHS workout tapes became best-sellers. Pictured here is a Jazzercise class from The Jazzercise Center in Pennington New Jersey circa 1989.
