Founded in 1980 in a brownstone studio off Manhattan's Fifth Avenue with 75 students per week. From 1984 to 1989, following the highest rating for exercise classes from the ever-popular New York magazine, clientele grew to 250 students per week with 10 instructors. In 1989, Ms. Jaffe reduced the number to 125 students per week with five instructors to devote more of her own time to an increasing number of private consultations. In New York Magazine's issue "The Best of New York", there was only one exercise studio listed ---Back In Shape. Let's fast-forward to 2006 and once again, Marjorie's honing in on her specialty -- keeping 50+ women and men fit and attractive.
