ABOUT THE OWNER
Kat Renaker is a certified Jazzercise fitness instructor and the proud owner of Florence Fitness Studios. A resident of Boone County, KY, Kat previously owned Jazzercise Burlington and Jazzercise Edgewood/Erlanger and merged those two businesses into this one, amazing space conveniently located for customers all across Northern Kentucky.
Kat started attending Jazzercise classes in the late 1990s while she was a college undergrad and continued with various group fitness workouts into the 2000s. In 2013, her friend, Kristin, mentioned trying a Jazzercise class together, and they loved it so much, they both became Jazzercise instructors in 2014! Two years later, Kat became a Jazzercise class owner and opened her first center in Burlington, KY. In early 2021, Kat took over ownership of Jazzercise Edgewood and subsequently moved that business to Erlanger, and by the end of 2022, she combined Jazzercise Burlington and Jazzercise Edgewood/Erlanger and opened this fabulous facility and Jazzercise Florence Fitness Studios, located in the same plaza as Target and PetSmart just off Houston Rd.
In addition to teaching Jazzercise classes, Kat works as an adjunct communication instructor at Beckfield College in Florence, KY where she teaches courses in public speaking and professional communication. She is also a professional vocalist and sings for local events, weddings, and funerals and with various local music groups. When teaching her Jazzercise classes, Kat likes to draw from both her college teaching experience as well as her experience as a performer. With each Jazzercise class she teaches, she hopes to provide a fun, effective, and entertaining workout where everyone can feel accepted, supported, and successful!
Kat lives in Florence, KY with her husband, John, their daughter, Hannah, a high school senior, and their two, English cream golden retrievers, Tilly and Rey. Their daughter, Lainey, attends the University of Louisville, and their son, Jack, attends the University of Kentucky.
