Building Community Through Movement with V Peterson, Founder of Bodied
Description
In this inspiring episode of The Second Degree Podcast, host Emily Merrell sits down with V Peterson, the energetic founder of Bodied, Denver’s rhythm-based fitness studio redefining what it means to move with purpose.
V shares how she blended step aerobics, strength training, and Pilates into a signature workout that’s as much about connection as it is about sweat.
Together, Emily and V explore the journey from vision to brick-and-mortar, the lessons learned from leading a team of women, and the power of staying open when you’re building something entirely new.

- Why celebration and community are central to Bodied’s culture
- The power of being bad at something new—and showing up anyway
