HER STORY ⟡ Shavone of RIDEVIBEBUILD

From Transformation to Inspiration: Meet Shavone & the Power of RIDEVIBEBUILD!

Hey everyone! I’m Shavone, and I live in Columbus, Ohio, with my amazing husband and business partner, Julius, and our three kids—Faith (15), Little Julius (9), and Ezra (5). Together, we created RIDEVIBEBUILD, a group fitness community we launched in November 2024.

Our journey started when my husband, daughter, and I each lost 80 lbs. That transformation changed our lives and inspired us to help others reach their fitness goals in a fun, empowering way. RIDEVIBEBUILD is all about high-energy workouts with a vibe—offering Hip-Hop Cycling, Kettlebell Hip-Hop, and Strength Training to keep fitness exciting and engaging.

Why I Started:

After my weight loss, people kept asking for fitness advice, but I wanted to do it differently—fun, energetic, and community-driven. Group fitness changed my life, so I wanted to give others that same experience in a fresh, exciting way.

What I Love About Being a Business Owner:

Owning my business gives me the freedom to create, inspire, and build a supportive community. Seeing people push past their limits, gain confidence, and truly enjoy fitness is the most rewarding part—especially since I get to do it all with my family.

The Impact I Hope to Have:

I want people to see fitness as something fun, not a chore. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels encouraged, supported, and motivated to become their best selves—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Who Inspires Me:

My journey, my family, and my community. Losing 80 lbs taught me the power of perseverance, and my girls remind me daily why balance, passion, and purpose matter. Seeing my community grow and thrive keeps me motivated to keep evolving.

Favorite Quote:

"There is power in transparency." Being open and real—whether in fitness, family, or business—builds trust, connection, and lasting impact.

What Beauty Means to Me:

Confidence, authenticity, and the energy you bring into the world. Beauty isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up, embracing your journey, and inspiring others to do the same.

Advice to My Past Self:

Trust yourself, stay consistent, and give yourself grace. Every challenge will teach you something valuable.
