September News & Events

September is here, and there’s something about fall that always feels like the perfect time to reset your routine, try something new, and get back into a groove. 🍂


We have a lot of good things happening at GVO this month...from special events and class schedule updates to our fun new “Two-A-Day” Challenge that might just inspire you to double up on your favorite classes (or finally try one you’ve been eyeing!).


As schedules settle back in after summer, it’s a great time to recommit to yourself, but remember, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Show up when you can, move in a way that feels good, bring a friend, and have some fun along the way.



We’re excited for everything this fall has in store and, as always, so grateful you’re part of this community.



See you at GVO!

Kristen ❤️


Meet Emily: September Member Spotlight ✨


This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Emily—a familiar face at GVO and someone who truly embodies what our community is all about. When she’s not bringing the good vibes to class, Emily is busy inspiring young minds as a gifted elementary school teacher. And apparently, good vibes are contagious—she’s introduced several friends to GVO who have become members, too!



We can’t wait for you to get to know Emily a little better and find out what keeps her coming back for more.
