Fort Polk friends! 💕

It’s FREE WEEK at iStroll! 🎉 Come out, give it a try, and don’t miss your chance to win one of my beautiful handmade bouquets! 💐✨

A free workout + a chance to take home some pretty flowers? Yes please! 🫶

✨WEDNESDAY ✨

We will meet at 9:15am at First Methodist Church in Leesville. It’s a 15 minute drive from post so make sure you leave a little extra time to get there. Location pin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/imXvgEg6oDgJGjTu9?g_st=ipc

Class will consist of 4 sets with a transition set between each one. It will last for about an hour which includes a warm up and a cool down.

Bring with you: a water bottle, a mat and some weights. If you don’t have a mat or weights please still come! We will have some spares for you to use. Children are all welcome, just make sure you keep an eye on them and bring some extra water and snacks to keep them cool and full!

Wednesday is sponsored by The Peony Stitch, who will be giving away one of her amazing crochet bouquets. Cassie is incredibly talented and all her creations are beautiful, but her bouquets especially so! All you need to do is show up for the chance to win! Please check out her page to see what else she makes.

Come out and join iStroll for FREE WEEK! 💪🫶

It’s a fun workout group where you can get moving, meet some awesome people, and see what iStroll is all about, completely FREE this week!

Plus, you’ll have the chance to win a special little something from The Peony Stitch! 🌸✨

Come work out, have some fun, and maybe go home with a little treat! 💕

✨ COUNTDOWN TO FREE WEEK: 5 DAYS ✨

We can’t wait to meet you next week. Here’s all the details you need to know. 🌸

We have classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday which will be an hour long workout with a giveaway at the end. We will also have Walk Run Coffee on Saturday which is a 40 minute walk followed by coffee at a local park (also with a giveaway!). 🪁

Free Week… is FREE! All you need to do to attend is sign up and show up. The QR code will take you to the sign up, or follow the link at the bottom of this post.

Each class is sponsored by a small business here at Fort Polk. We will be celebrating them each day and they will kindly be giving away some treats to one lucky attendee that day! We chose to partner with other local businesses because we believe in the power of working together, supporting other military spouse owned businesses and that in doing so we create a stronger community both within istroll and within Fort Polk. Please check out Tootie’s Treats, The Peony Stitch, It's Time for Sweets and Sticky Icky Customs, our wonderful sponsors! 💪🏼

Please send us a message if you have any questions, we can’t wait to meet you all!
