We have some extremely big but extremely great news to share about Thrive Barre & Fitness. We wanted to share the good news with you that Jessica DeDomenico and Leigh Beal will step into new roles as co-owners of Thrive as of today. They will work in close partnership with current owner and co-founder Danielle Aviezer to help keep this wonderful local Pelham studio that Carol, Danielle and Kristy created and fastidiously cared for, in business and Thriving. Carol Hinchliffe will continue to be a much-valued part of the team as a functional nutritionist, working with clients on a one-to-one basis while offering group programs and classes in tandem. As a Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner, Carol can help people with minor digestive issues to deeper, more chronic health programs, working from a root cause perspective to optimize health.
As many of you know, Thrive first opened at 1415 Pelhamdale Avenue in 2008 and expanded into its beautiful new location on Wolf’s Lane in downtown Pelham in February 2020. Through the years, Thrive has focused on its core mission of bringing the community together and helping clients feel their best both inside and outside. With the introduction of 305 Fitness and yoga to its existing program of barre and nutrition, it's exciting at this juncture of the studio’s growth to partner with Jess and Leigh.
As long-term barre and fitness enthusiasts, Jess and Leigh both already consider Thrive as a second home, therefore this is the best ‘fit’ imaginable for the studio and our clients. In fact, Jess is proud to have attended Danielle’s very first barre class she ever taught at Thrive’s original location. Thrive classes have carried her through several pregnancies and have kept her grounded while raising four boys so she’s well aware of the importance of working out. Similarly, Leigh has been a Thrive instructor for several years and previously taught at barre studios across the country. Like Jess, she also credits barre classes for keeping her strong, healthy and stable through the ups and downs of life and motherhood! As busy and active members of the community, Jess and Leigh are thrilled to join Danielle, share their passion for Thrive and to continue to grow this wonderful, female-owned business in the Pelham Community and beyond.
