We have come a long way since 2008, the year that Jessica Zoo had a big idea in a small dance studio. We started off by launching Cheerobics: a fun fitness workout with pompoms, capturing the imagination of thousands of participants worldwide, including some big names like Dr. Oz and countless TV shows and fitness magazines.
Fast-forward 10 years and the name "Cheerobics" no longer represented who we fully are as a cheerleading fitness community - we have become so much more than that. In 2017 we relaunched as the CheerConditioning.Academy - an online community and education centre dedicated to providing high-quality cheer conditioning videos, articles, support, sideline choreography, and tons of free workouts brought to you by our panel of experts.
