Show up to one of New York City’s buzzier dance cardio spots and you’ll spot someone sweating her way through the workout with a wool topper. And with fitfluencers like Vixen Workout’s Janet Jones, SoulCycle’s Sandra Jacob, and Broadway Dance Center’s Joanna N

If she had a personal fan operator I would have confused her with Queen Bey herself. I was intrigued so I obviously began to lurk http://www.vixenworkout.com. I decided to sign up for a class at Body and Soul, a boutique gym located in Coral Gables. I received an email after I signed up encouraging me t

By LISA ELAINE HELD, MAY 3, 2015 In an average fitness class, running shoes and ponytails are standard. To work out in the Vixen Army, recruits wear wedge sneakers (they’re recommended in the What To Wear section on the website along with a favorite lipstick) and let their hair down. Members of the New York City regiment are packed into an old dance studio near Penn Station, practically on top of each other, to shake their booties with their Commander in Chief, Janet Jones, 3

by Romina Nabhen • November 3, 2014 “The partnership with Janet Jones was special as we wanted to connect with our Latina audience in Miami and also bring to life the “NOT being Basic” message. Janet’s workout is very sassy and fierce and totally aligned with the brand’s edgy appeal.

by Kat Buccio  |October 17, 2014 If you’re anything like me (and I’m going to bet you are), there’s a J-lo loving-Beyonce strutting-fly girl itching to burst free from her cage and break into a choreographed routine to rival that of any MTV VMA performance. I religiously watched In Living Color just for the dance segments and have shamelessly tried to copy every move from the Step It Up movies (oh I did). And then I heard that there was a class that could make all my fly girl

A new workout trend encourages women to unleash their inner Beyonce by giving cardio routines a touch of nightclub sexiness. Before the music begins, members of the women-only exercise class — dressed in shredded tank tops, full makeup and wedged sneakers — pose seductively before studio mirrors and chant, “Yes, I’m sexy. Yes, I’m fierce. Yes, I’ve got this.” Empowerment is a big part of the Vixen workout, a hip-hop dance class with a nightclub feel that fitness experts say o

When Miami Heat dancer, Janet Jones was laid off from her day job in finance, she had to find a way to support herself, and her young daughter. Thus, the Vixen workout was born. Jones’ sexy hour-long cardio hip-hop style dance fitness class evolved from 2 women to a verified “Vixen Army” of 15,000 women. Since 2012 she has established her army in Miami, New York City and everywhere in between. Janet Jones tells us how she has the energy to be a professional dancer, choreograp

BY ASHLEY BROZIC FEB 3, 2014 If you haven’t heard of the Vixen Workout, you have to be living under a rock. A big, big, smoldering rock. The workout will have you body rolling like Beyonce, grinding like a Lil Wayne video girl and booty-shaking to Uncle Luke (who, by the way, is the founding father of the twerk. Stop basking in his glory, Miley). It’s a killer cardio routine and COVERGIRL has decided to align itself with this not-so-easy-breezy beautiful workout. On Saturday,

Risque? Maybe. Freeing? Absolutely. The latest fitness craze to hit Tampa is called “The Vixen Workout.” It’s a fast-paced, high energy, dance fitness class made just for the ladies. At the front of the room, was Vixen creator Janet Jones. Jones is former Miami Heat dancer who created the class as a way to work out, have fun, and unleash that inner vixen she says every woman has inside. In her words, the workout gives girls ‘a safe environment’ to cut loose, drop it low, and

August 5, 2013 As the music played in a Miami nightclub, Janet Jones and a group professional women in their 30s were hesitant to relax and dance. “We went out to let loose and forget life,” said Jones, a former Miami Heat dancer who was working in finance. “But we felt that we couldn’t dance because we were someone’s boss, someone’s mom or someone’s superior.” That’s when Jones, who was laid off from her finance job, had the idea to create the Vixen Workout, an hour-long car
