Indy Maven is nothing without our amazing community and to that end we want to be a resource for you as we all navigate our new world amid the coronavirus pandemic. Whether you’re navigating school and business closures, managing life while working from home, or social distancing, we’re here with info on how you can help Indianapolis businesses and what new services companies are offering in this ever-changing landscape. Click here for our main resource page with links to guides in different categories. 

Just like so many of you, I’m really missing my group fitness workouts—both for the physical benefits, and also the mental and emotional ones. My daily exercise routine is one of the ways I help manage my stress and anxiety, two things that are out in full force right now.

Luckily, many of our local studios and gyms are coming up with creative ways for you to still get your workouts in with virtual classes and offerings. Not only is this a great way to take care of yourself and still feel a part of your community, but also to help these small business owners who’ve had to unexpectedly close their doors.

INVOKE STUDIO

Invoke Studio is offering classes via Zoom. Right now they have vinyasa, mat Pilates, Core HIIT, and Bar Effect—with plans to add more as their two physical locations remain closed. They recommend signing up at least 15 minutes prior to class and you can register via Mindbody using your Invoke membership, a regular class package, or by purchasing a Zoom drop-in for $10.

“Some of you have asked how you can help us during this time,” owner Amy Peddycord wrote in an email to clients. “We are offering gift card sales ($100 value for $80 and $50 value for $40) if you would like to purchase for yourself or as a gift. Also, if you like you could use this downtime to write us a review on Yelp, or Google or send an encouraging word to your favorite teacher.”

Hey Invoke family! We’re so grateful for your love and support during this time. Though we aren’t able to practice together in the studio space, we will be bringing you online classes through Zoom starting today. . . Right now we have plans to host Vinyasa, Mat Pilates, Core HIIT, and Bar Effect. The rest of the schedule will go live this afternoon. Make sure to sign up at least 15 minutes prior to the class if possible. You can register for the class through mindbody using your Invoke membership, a regular class package, or by purchasing a Zoom drop in for $10. . . Please download zoom at zoom.us prior to your first class. If you are joining the “meeting” early you can mingle with our teachers and our community, but we will ask that everyone turns off their audio and video prior to the start of class to avoid distractions. Stay tuned for more classes coming your way LIVE on the inter webs 🙂
