Meet Allyson Ally” Ponte | CEO and Co-Owner at Vibe Fitness”

We had the good fortune of connecting with Allyson “Ally” Ponte and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Allyson “Ally”, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
Community is at the heart of everything we do at Vibe Fitness Studio. We are blessed to get to do what we love for the people we love every single day. What happens when members and guests walk through the doors is so much more than “fitness.” It’s unwavering support, camaraderie, friendship, acceptance, appreciation, and love. We lift each other up daily as we work toward our fitness and wellness goals together in a positive and uplifting environment. It is truly a special place.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
One of the things that makes Vibe Fitness special is our signature cardio dance classes. Club Vibe® is a combination of studio style dance and effective cardio fitness. Every routine is unique and the musicality allows the participants to feel like they are truly performing. The best part is, it is for everybody and every body. The Vibe method of instruction helps participants work at their own pace so everyone feels successful. Classes are completely adaptive for all levels of ability. No dance experience is needed and every participant accepted, encouraged and celebrated as they discover how much fun fitness can be.

In addition to Club Vibe, we also offer Vibe Infusion, a combination of cardio dance and strength, Barre, Strength and semi-private Circuit training. Vibe Fitness is a hybrid studio so all classes are available in person as well as livestream. All memberships include unlimited access to our on demand library which hosts over 350 workouts in a variety of genres including cardio dance, strength, barre, kickboxing, core, step, recovery, foam rolling and more.

Developing our own style came naturally but there have certainly been many challenges along the way. We believe it is important to understand your why and stay the course. We remain committed to our passion and purpose and choose to focus on the positive. When we see the impact our studio has on our members and guests it is clear we are exactly where we are supposed to be and doing what we are meant to do.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We love the local community shopping and dining at The Collection, Cumming City Center and Halcyon. There are so many amazing restaurants and shops, and of course we love to support fellow small businesses! We enjoy all of the pop up events they have to offer, so we would certainly plan around that.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am blessed to co-own Vibe Fitness with my soul sister, Kelly Schur. Running a business is not for the faint of heart, and I am so grateful we get to do it together. It is true what they say about blood, sweat, and tears, but it is also exciting, fulfilling, and incredibly fun when you get to do it with your best friend. Kelly is a rock star instructor, master trainer, and COO who pours into our business and Tribe in the most beautiful ways every single day! Our CTO, David Henderson, is amazing and makes everything work…literally! He is loyal, dedicated, talented, and a true friend. There are no words to describe what he means to us and our growing Tribe. Our Client Success Manager, Izzy Eslick, takes the best care of our members and guests and makes sure everyone receives a warm welcome and VIP treatment when they walk through the door. The expression “it takes a village” is spot on when it comes to starting and running a small business. Thankfully, Kelly and I have supportive husbands and families who believe in us and our mission to make a difference in our community. We would be nothing if it weren’t for our Tribe, they are the reason behind everything we do. They offer unwavering support and encouragement and have become our Vibe family. They help us in so many ways and provide unlimited motivation and inspiration to keep us moving forward. Above all, I am thankful that God has made a way for us to do what we love with and for the people we love. We are truly blessed and have so many reasons to be thankful.
