LESLEY GOLDKAMP /
BARRE INSTRUCTOR - STUDIO MANAGER
Lesley Jainchill began her barre journey four and a half years ago. She started taking barre classes and discovered her true passion. Barre combines her love for dance and strength training which creates a balanced and challenging workout. About two and half years ago, Lesley decided to teach barre full time and leave the special education field where she worked for 10 years. Barre has been a light in Lesley’s life, and she enjoys sharing that energy with others as an instructor. Lesley has a dance background of 13 years and she is a certified Total Barre instructor and trained in the STOTT Pilates method through Merrithew. Lesley is now the barre44 studio manager and a friendly face at the front desk. Lesley has her own floral design business, Sweet Pea, which keeps her busy when she is not at the barre.
