Founding Story

Founder Samantha Minich built She Shop Fitness Studio after years of moving across the country and struggling to find a real fitness community. She envisioned a space in Indianapolis where women could work out, connect, and stay for the coffee—literally. She Shop opened as a one-stop women's fitness community.

Our Vision

To create a vibrant, inclusive fitness community in Indianapolis where women feel strong, confident, and supported—both in and out of the studio. More than a gym, She Shop is a hub for connection, friendship, and lasting empowerment.

Our Mission

To empower every woman who walks through our doors with a supportive space where strength, confidence, and community thrive. We blend movement, wellness, and social connection to deliver a fitness experience that goes beyond the workout.

Meet Our Founder

Samantha Minich

Owner

Born in Decatur, IN, Samantha's journey took her from San Francisco to South Carolina before she returned to Indiana with a mission: create the women's fitness community she had never been able to find. She is trained in Balanced Body Mat Pilates Levels 1–3 and is a Certified Group Fitness Instructor through ACE. Samantha teaches Mat Pilates, Bootcamp, and HIIT at She Shop. She knew from the start that a community coffee bar had to be part of the experience—so women could build strength, confidence, and real friendships both in and outside of class.
