Hello Pod Stars! We’re sitting down with Vinny Purtle, founder and owner of Heartfelt Movement in Columbus, Ohio. Heartfelt is not just a fitness studio; it’s a community made up of three distinct studios—cycle, yoga, and pole—each unified under one mission: to create welcoming spaces where all people feel seen, heard, and supported. We dive deep into Vinny’s journey of building this inclusive environment, discussing how Heartfelt is transforming the traditional fitness landscape and providing a place for everyone to connect with their bodies, regardless of background or experience level. Along the way, we explore powerful topics like body positivity, the impact of movement on mental well-being, and, of course, the yogic philosophy of Barbie!
