Roeme, an app that combines the ability to book yoga and fitness classes in Atlanta with a design that encourages community building, has been released as a beta version in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. 

According to company founders, Atlanta natives Allie Stolte and Jackson Ford, “Roeme is purposefully designed to emulate the camaraderie found in the boutique fitness space.” The pair, both avid runners, use the Strava app, which has built-in social elements. “We felt that class-booking apps were missing the opportunity to create community as well,” says Stolte. 

A Roeme user can book classes with Atlanta yoga and fitness studios, follow friends to see when and where they worked out, and “compete” in a leaderboard. “Through Roeme, users can connect with friends, classmates, instructors and favorite businesses, simplifying the booking process while cultivating community,” says Stolte. “The app’s home button lists completed workouts by the people you follow.” 

As of the date of this writing, 18 participating fitness and yoga companies on the app, including Bring It OM Yoga, Nectar Yoga, Dancing Dogs Yoga, Stellar Power Yoga, Highland Yoga, M3 Yoga & Hot Pilates, Red Hot Yoga, onlYoga and The Yoga Loft.

Roeme generates revenue via bookings and integrates with the studio’s current booking solution. 

“We love to host in-person meetups and events in Atlanta and are very excited about upcoming pop-ups at our partner studios and events,” adds Stolte.
