Meet our Instructors
Jessica Keefe
Jess is a lifetime fitness fanatic and avid outdoor enthusiast, as well as part owner of The Suite Studio. Her idea of “fun” typically includes lots of burpees and deadlifts and if you have taken her classes you know her love for fitness and exercise is bound to rub off on you. She’s a NASM certified personal trainer with specializations in Women’s and Youth fitness. She has an in-depth knowledge of human movement and exercise physiology and uses that to create safe, fun, and super effective classes and personal training sessions. Jess is also certified to teach a variety of other formats including Insanity and PiYo (of course trained by Master trainer Jackie). Jess recently added a Barre certification from the Barre Guild Academy this year, and no surprise to the Barre enthusiasts out there; it is quickly becoming one of her favorite practices.
When Jess isn’t having fun with fitness you can find her somewhere outside with her husband and three kids either in a kayak, on the slopes, or climbing a mountain.

Dabbler in essential oils.
She focuses on energy, breath, body integration, movement, and stillness to heal, strengthen, and invite a wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.
Robyn Paglucia
After dealing with an injury that forced her to perform lower intensity workouts, Robyn tried this trendy new class called Barre. After taking classes consistently for a year, she fell in love with the way it made her feel -- so much, that she wanted to share it with others. She loves the strength it provides without adding any crazy cardio/weights, and there is always a way to challenge yourself without hurting yourself. After a few years teaching, she wanted more, so took on Pilates training. The hybrid of both Pilates and Barre is such a fantastic workout, and she is lucky to have found a special community in Suite that allows her to share her passion. One of her favorite things to do for class is create fun playlists, so song recommendations are highly encouraged! Robyn is CPR certified, barre certification by Rasamaya, and Pilates by Balanced Body.
Jenna Ranauro
Finance by day, cardio dance by early evening, bed by 9pm.
Jenna has been involved in dance and performance art since she was a child. When she moved to the NH Seacoast with her husband in 2016, she was looking to start an effective workout routine that didn’t feel like work but a party. DANCE scratches that itch! Jenna noticed a lack of adult dance classes in the area and knew she had to change that. If she was searching for a dance fitness class, she most likely wasn’t alone in that pursuit. Jenna remembers making up dances with her cousins in her childhood basement and is determined to continue that joy far into adulthood.
Jenna believes that cardio dance, one of the best forms of self-expression and exercise, should be accessible to EVERYONE! She seeks to create a space that is welcoming to ALL that wish to move, dance and to sweat. Her mission is to help you REVEL in what your body can do and build self-confidence. Her classes are specifically designed to elicit self-love and plenty of sweat! Come discover what your body is capable of and shake it on the dance floor with Jenna!
