AIM High Studio provides fitness and meals to its local community during COVID-19
AIM High Studio pivots from fitness studio to community service
Fitness has always been more than just a workout at Aim High Studio and community service has always been part of their mission.
Now more than ever they are an example of how a small business can make a difference in their community. With the gym closed, their free virtual classes are an example of how they are giving back.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, their help is needed even more. And the staff is stepping up by serving at soup kitchens, creating free bags filled with meals and hygiene items for families in need and also collecting clothing and blanket donations. #belocalish

Through virtual nutrition and fitness, this mom wants to help you 'Be Well'
Through virtual nutrition and fitness, this mom wants to help you 'Be Well'
Staying at home presents a litany of challenges to our health and fitness.
A South Philadelphia mom is tackling the needs of new moms, people with health conditions and others who just want to be their best selves with a virtual program designed for real people living real lives.
Beth Auguste, owner of Be Well With Beth, left her job after having her daughter, Camille, two years ago. She started Be Well With Beth after identifying a lack of useful nutritional resources for new moms and those with busy schedules. That endeavor expanded to Mommy and Me fitness classes and other workouts. When COVID-19 hit, she was forced to pivot to a fully virtual program.
Beth offers free recipes, workouts and other services via her Instagram page. Beth has created a completely virtual program to help busy parents with food and fitness. Enrollment is open now, click here to join: The 4 Month Refresh

Apricot Stone recreates its dining experience online
Dining out is one of the biggest casualties of the virtual world we now all live in. The team behind a Northern Liberties restaurant is re-creating the entire experience online.
Apricot Stone is known for its authentic Mediterranean food. The intimate family restaurant pivoted to a take-out spot due to COVID-19.
And they're making another change.
Apricot Stone recently launched a virtual dining experience taking take out to the next level. Customers can make a reservation and the owner will act as your waiter for the night, take your order and then deliver the food along with some of the restaurant's ambience.
The proceeds from this service are helping the furloughed staff at Apricot Stone.

How 6 Philly businesses partnered to create and deliver 'The Joy Box' during COVID-19
Six Philly companies combined to deliver their goods during COVID-19
When the coronavirus hit the crisis stage, six small food and beverage businesses in Philadelphia immediately decided that they should pair up to serve the local community.
They built a website overnight and went live within two days of the shutdown notice, offering what they call "The Joy Box", an essential box of non-essentials.
The box is customizable with a $40 minimum and shoppers can choose delivery or pickup from Triple Bottom Brewery, which is partnering on the initiative with Weckerly's Ice Cream, Lil' Pop Shop, Caphe Roasters, Mycopolitan Mushroom Company & Third Wheel Cheese.

Delivery or Pickup at Triple Bottom Brewery
You can have Yards beer and brewpub dinners delivered to your doorsteps
You can now get Yards beer and food To-go
The Taproom at Yards 5th and Spring Garden brew-quarters are normally bustling.
Now, it's quiet but there's a small team inside, brewing beer and making family style meals for pickup and delivery.
The brewery just released two new beers, a summer ale called Summer Crush and a new hazy IPA dubbed Philthy, an ode to the unfiltered nature of Philly sports fans.
And speaking of sports, those 19.2 ounce cans of Yards beer you can normally only get at the ballpark? You can now drink them at home.
Maybe crack one open while you relive the 1980 World Series win or the devastating 1993 loss.
