Terre Haute business encourages healthy living through unique exercises.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – A Terre Haute business is encouraging healthy living through a unique workout.
Bungee fitness classes are just one of several types of classes taught at Deep Roots Fitness and Wellness.
Owners say the classes are not only good for physical health, but also for mental health.
Natalie Merlin runs Counseling Pathways, a mental health counseling business in Terre Haute. But in early 2024, Marlin was three months postpartum and looking for an outlet to work on both her mental and physical health.
She discovered Bungee Fitness and opened Deep Roots Fitness & Wellness.
Through her business, she has found a way to provide men and women with a slightly different physical and emotional outlet.
“We have something for everyone, and if something doesn’t work without it, we’ve found new things to add,” Merlin said.
It’s not a typical outlet, but she found something that works for her.
Classes like Bungee Fitness can seem a little scary at first, but Marlin and your instructor will guide you through each movement and make sure you’re comfortable and trusting the bungee.
For Merlin, this unique form of exercise is a great way to train both mentally and physically.
“Let’s get back together, let’s rebuild ourselves, find ourselves after having a baby, after a breakup, after a divorce, or after a bad day at work. It can be difficult, but… So this place allows people to do that,” Merlin said.
Deep Roots will be hosting a dance workout class called Swerk on October 25th.
