Celebrate Mom and Her Wellness: Mother’s Day Activities During National Women’s Health Month

0

May is National Women’s Health Month, and Mother’s Day kicks off National Women’s Health Week. This special timing gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate the moms in our lives while also encouraging them to prioritize their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

At Indianapolis Moms, we understand the balancing act of keeping our families healthy while also taking care of ourselves. This Mother’s Day, treat yourself or the special women in your life to one of these amazing health and fitness experiences around Indianapolis that celebrate moms and women’s wellness!

Pure Barre (Carmel & Zionsville)

Pure Barre studios in Carmel and Zionsville offer a wonderful opportunity for a mother/daughter workout this Mother’s Day. Their full-body, low-impact workout blends Pilates, yoga, and dance concepts with upbeat music to create a challenging yet accessible experience. Members at the lifestyle level can bring a friend for free, making it perfect for celebrating with mom or daughter, and all participants will receive a small gift to commemorate the day.

What makes Pure Barre special is the variety—with different class formats focusing on heavier weights, cardio, and stretching, there’s truly something for every mom, regardless of fitness level. And if you’re looking for the perfect gift, a new studio is opening soon in Westfield where you could snag a founding membership or class pack for mom. Learn more at Pure Barre Carmel.

Shred 415 (Carmel)

Shred 415 in Carmel offers an energizing interval workout that alternates between 15 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes with weights, repeated for a comprehensive session. Don’t let that intimidate you—you can go at your own pace and choose weights that work best for you, no need to be an experienced runner or weightlifter!

For Mother’s Day, Shred will provide free childcare and host a special drawing for a Mother’s Day swag basket. First-time visitors always get their first class free, so if you’re already a member, bring mom along for her first experience. Find out more at Shred 415 Carmel.
