August News & Events

One year ago, we stepped into a new chapter with a simple goal: create a place where everyone feels welcome, supported, and inspired to move.


What an incredible year it's been!


As we celebrate our first anniversary as Good Vibes Only, we're overwhelmed with gratitude for every member who has walked through our doors. Whether you've been with us since the Heather's Gym days, joined us this past year, or are just discovering our community, thank you for being part of this journey.


This year has been filled with so much growth. What a year it's been! We've welcomed 34 new members, celebrated the return of 33 familiar faces, and proudly added 5 full-time student members to our growing community.


Every new and returning member has helped make Good Vibes Only even stronger. We've also expanded our class offerings and added talented new instructors to our team. Watching our community grow, not just in numbers, but in friendships, encouragement, and positivity, has been the most rewarding part of this adventure.


One of our favorite things to hear is when someone says, "I've heard so many great things about this place. I had to come check it out." Even better is seeing that same person become part of the community, finding workout buddies, trying new classes, and feeling like they belong from day one.


That's what Good Vibes Only is all about.


Thank you for making this first year unforgettable. Thank you to everyone who celebrated our anniversary with us on Saturday! We're so grateful for your support, energy, and enthusiasm, especially as we had to adjust and move everything inside due to the rain. 


With gratitude,


Kristen & Justin

Meet Our GVO Ambassador Team!


Our community is what makes Good Vibes Only so special, and we’re excited to introduce the members who will help continue creating a welcoming, supportive environment for everyone.



Please join us in celebrating Allie, our Lead Team Ambassador! Allie brings the positivity, encouragement, and GVO spirit that makes everyone feel at home.


We’re also thrilled to introduce our Brand-New Ambassador Team:

Ro • Katie • Dana • Colleen • Johanna • Danielle • Kelsey • Jensyn • Mackenzie • Carly


These incredible members have been selected to help lead our community by welcoming new faces, encouraging fellow members, and spreading the positive energy that makes GVO feel like home. If you see them around the studio, be sure to say hello—they're here to help you feel comfortable, answer questions, and cheer you on every step of the way.

"This has truly been a second home for me. I have met some incredible, inspiring, supportive people and they have become lasting friends. Hands down the encouragement, care and fun I find in the GVO community is beyond what I ever expected."


-Ro Tantra, GVO Ambassador


"GVO has a community that is so so special & like no other, you feel the support from everyone and it never feels like you’re alone on a fitness journey. The community has been a big part of my consistency because everyone is so welcoming and I genuinely get FOMO when I’m not in class!"


-Allie Durning, Lead GVO Ambassador


"GVO is a very positive studio. Instructors welcome members and the community chats with each other and extends support. People care about each other – you can hear the buzz when you walk into class and after – members saying see you tomorrow, are you going to X class? This is unique to GVO!"



-Johanna Skoog, GVO Ambassador

August Member Spotlight


If you've spent any time at GVO, chances are you've met Kellie Dobeus... or at least heard her. 😄 Whether she's talking a little trash on the pickleball court, solving the world's problems over Tuesday coffee after Circuit, or reminding everyone she's definitely not a Swiftie, Kellie keeps us laughing. Behind the sarcasm and quick wit is an incredibly supportive member who's been part of the GVO family for years. This month, we're celebrating the one and only Kellie!


Get to know Kellie!

One More Summer Adventure! ☀️


We moved our Good Vibes Tribe Girls Camp to August 11–13, and there's still time to join the fun! It's the perfect way to squeeze in one last summer adventure before school starts.

Designed for girls ages 8–12, camp is packed with movement, games, confidence-building activities, friendships, and, of course, lots of good vibes. It's the perfect final week of summer before backpacks, homework, and busy schedules return.


📅 August 11–13

⏰ 1:00–3:00 PM


✨ Limited spots still available—register today!


Coming This September: MELT for Runners 🏃‍♀️


Calling all runners (and anyone who wants to move and recover better)! This September, Mary Slight will be leading a 4-week MELT Method® series designed to help improve recovery, reduce the risk of injury, and keep your body feeling its best—perfect timing as runners prepare for the Chicago Marathon and fall race season.

The series begins Wednesday, September 9th at 6:30 PM, and is ideal for runners of all levels looking to recover smarter and move more efficiently.

Sneak Peek: Human Reformer Pilates ✨


Get ready to try something new! Vanessa is bringing her Human Reformer Pilates class to GVO with a special pop-up demo class on Sunday, August 16, from 8:00–8:45 AM.


Inspired by the movements of a Pilates reformer—without the equipment—this class focuses on core strength, balance, stability, flexibility, and total-body control. It's a fun, effective workout that will leave you feeling stronger and more connected to your body.



This pop-up is a preview of what we hope will become a regular Sunday morning class beginning in September, so come experience it first and let us know what you think!
