PHYSIQUE FORWARD

We are using our voice to share resources to listen, learn, support, and promote BIPOC, LGBTQIA, Women’s rights, children, and communities in need.

We believe that everyone should have the gift of health and movement and are taking deliberate steps to make our community of possibilities more accessible to all. Movement is medicine- it improves immunity, relieves stress, releases endorphins, develops resilience, builds confidence, and so much more. We strive to offer workouts for all to find strength within, to not only feel good themselves, but to also be better for others.

We offer discounts to healthcare workers, educators, performing artists, students, and charity organizations and have hosted discounted community class events and complimentary online and in-person workouts to make our powerful method more available to all.

Physique 57 Family,

Our mission since we started Physique 57 has been to bring our method to as many people as possible and to unleash the unlimited power in those we touch. We recognize that we need to be specific and take more deliberate steps to stand up to injustice with the Black Community in the fight against racism.

Like all of you, we have been horrified and heart-broken by the violent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, and far too many others. We stand with the Black Lives Matter movement and are committed to change. We will use our voices. We will not settle for less.

As individuals, we are having intentional conversations and taking purposeful action. As a company we are focused on what we can do to lead change. To demonstrate our commitment and keep on course for the long term, we started a new program, Physique Forward to combat racial injustice.

• Donations- our first action started with donating proceeds from all Live Online classes on Tuesday, June 2nd to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to protect voting rights and equality for all and to The Loveland Foundation committed to showing up for Black women and girls.
  
  
• Knowledge leads to action- team members at all levels will take trainings and institute action plans to combat inequality within our organization to improve recruiting, hiring, staff development, and community impact.
  
  
• Diversity committee- we will create a committee comprised of a mix of team members, clients, and advisors to share experiences, leverage knowledge, and take our efforts to the next level.
  
  
• Webpage- we will designate a page on our website to relay resources and stay accountable with our progress.
  
  
• Your input– as we continue to grow and learn, we are eager to hear from you and created a new email address [email protected] to receive insight, suggestions, and feedback as we navigate this journey together.

These are our first steps, and the marathon ahead is long. We recognize that we can do better, and we will. We set our goals high, embrace our vulnerability, and commit to staying to course as individuals and as a company.

Our brand manifesto states:

We thrive on equal parts unshakable strength and unbreakable faith…and in feeling strong, seen, and worthwhile every day.
WE means ALL, as an equal and celebrated force of individuals, united by our passion to Physique Forward and create change. Together we rise.
With respect and commitment,

Jennifer Maanavi and Tanya Becker Co-Founders
