ADOPT A HEALTHY HABIT

The Shoe Bus + The BoVega

Too busy to join a gym or spend time shopping for healthy foods at the grocery store?

Let The Shoe Bus come to you. The mobile fitness boutique provides group or individual workouts wherever you are, complete with all the necessary equipment and an instructor. “We can come to your house, we can come to your office, we can meet you somewhere,” said Emily Morris, who co-owns the business with her husband, Jake.

One of The Shoe Bus’ corporate clients is the High Point Public Library, where it hosts a senior workout every Friday.

The Morrises also own The BoVega, a meal service that provides pre-made, vegan dishes.

The menu changes weekly and features breakfast, lunch and dinner options that go beyond what most people think of when they hear “vegan.”

“I’ll never deliver a salad unless you ask me to deliver a salad,” Morris said. “My favorite thing to do is to take things that are non-vegan and make them taste better than they would as an animal-based meal.”

Recent meals have included stuffed shells with homemade marinara sauce, Thai pizza and a stuffed breakfast burrito.

Morris said both The Shoe Bus and the Bo- Vega are a great option for corporate retreats or a lunch-and-learn.

Not only are the group workouts good for team-building, but inspiring healthier habits in employees can lower health care costs for companies in the long run.
