Meet the Founder

Leslie Dice

ACE Certified Personal Trainer. Barre Instructor. Pn1 Nutrition Coach. Slow Resistance Training Certified.

Growing up, I was a competitive cheerleader and when my cheer career ended, I found myself lost and afraid of the gym. I wasn’t sure what I should be doing but I knew I hated running and I thought that’s what it meant to work out. In 2015, I found Barre and fell in love with moving my body for fun and seeing how I could challenge myself. Since then, I have found and loved weight lifting, spin classes, Pilates, and the Xformer.

In 2019, I became a barre instructor, and in 2020 I became a Pn1 Nutrition Coach and ACE Certified Personal trainer. In 2022, I started coaching at Solidcore, and in 2023, opened The Basement Crozet teaching functional group fitness.

I am passionate about creating fitness spaces that are fun, challenging, and welcoming so everyone can find a space that makes movement fun!

I am beyond excited to continue growing the Crozet wellness community by bringing the Xformer and Slow Resistance Method to our town - I cannot wait to meet you soon!
