Celebrity dance fitness trainer Jason Layden was born with a natural talent for dance and he fostered his passion for the art when he studied it at Penn State. In 2012 he decided to blend his love for dance with his interest in fitness and began teaching cardio dance classes.
Always having a passion for dancing and music, Stacey Beaman first joined PlyoJam on the dance floor as a student. She was looking for a form of exercise that wasn’t torturous, but still delivered results. PlyoJam was just that. PlyoJam became an integral part of her fitness journey and sparked a passion in her.
Well and Good did a great write up on Plyojam, when word got out that Reese Witherspoon (Wild) started taking classes with Jason Layden to burn “more than 600 calories in 60 minutes”.
Writer, Rachel Marlowe, just had to experience this for herself. “I immediately packed my gym bag.” I immediately packed my gym bag
“The class—a heart-pumping hour of booty shaking combined with what seemed like a million 180 jumps, lateral hops, and ski jumps—was a serious cardio session that left my calves on fire. There was no time dedicated specifically to arms or ab work on the floor, but both were constantly engaged. Plus, the routines were easy to pick up, and there were modifications for every move—a good thing, given there were no breaks or changes in tempo.”
Thanks for coming and joining us! We’ll try to get you some face time with Reese 😉

One of our favorite PlyoJammer’s gave us a shout out when The Huffington Post wanted to talk to her about Healthy Living and how she was able to lose 75 pounds in a life changing story that was published today on Huffington’s Heathy Living section.
I also found a workout that I fell in love with called PlyoJam.[/su_pullquote]In the article Stacey discusses her weight gain, and what triggered her to take control of her health and how she empowered herself to lose nearly a hundred pounds, with more to go.
I also found a workout that I fell in love with called PlyoJam. I had tried so many different fitness programs over the years — bootcamps, treadmills, kickboxing, hot yoga — and nothing stuck. It was so hard at first. I was embarrassed by my lack of conditioning, I was embarrassed to wear workout clothes, I was embarrassed that I couldn’t quite keep up at first. But I kept at it, and I fell in love with it. Last summer I challenged myself to take 40 classes in eight weeks, and I accomplished that goal. Dance fitness has become an integral part of my journey. I think anyone on a weight-loss journey must find a method of fitness that fills their heart with joy.
