Going to and from the gym, to work and back home again could be a complete disaster if you aren’t prepared and organized! Here are my Favorite FITMAS Gift bags, food prep and coolers that will keep your items organized,  your food cold and your meal prep a little easier!

Apera Bags

CYMERA_20151104_152601Just last week I did a review on the all new line of Apera bags and I have to say that they are THE bag if you are looking to be prepared and organized! Pockets, ventilation, insets and water resistant base, oh my! Any of these bags will get you to where you are going with everything you will need. Duffel, tote, backpack – Apera has one to fit your needs. BONUS – All bags are 20% off! No code needed!

 

6 Pack Bags

p_4895I have had the same Innovator 300 6 Pack Bag for 3 years and it is still in perfect condition with no sign of breaking down any time soon! This is the MUST have gift for anyone who is trying to stay on track with healthy eating. With 3 – 24oz. BPA-free containers, 2 gel ice packs that keep food cold, insulated pockets that keep food warm and extra storage for drinks, vitamins or utensils, these bags have it all. And if you are looking for a more “purse like” meal management bag, 6 Pack now has a women’s line that storage for your meals and everything you would carry in your purse all in one bag!

 

The Nutri Ninja

Digital Food Scale

Eating a few extra ounces here and there might be what’s standing between you and your health and fitness goals. This digital food scale teaches you to focus on consuming healthy portions versus counting calories that can often become obsessive. You don’t know what you don’t know. So if you don’t know exactly how much you are eating, you won’t be able to see the changes.

APERA BAGMy Favorite FITmas Gift of 2014 pick for day 3 is ANY of the APERA BAGS. I got my Apera bag back in January (see my review here) and I use this bag every day.

Apera Bags are the ultimate gift for anyone who carries everything and anything. These bags are roomy and they can keep all of your stuff organized. With compartments and pockets galore, you will never be searching your bag to find what you need. And what really sets these bags apart from the ordinary “gym bag” is the “non-funk-factor”. You know that sweaty smell that radiates every time you open your gym bag, you know what I’m talking about . THE FUNK of a gym bag – ish. Well, you don’t have to worry about being the stinky kid in the gym when you carry Apera Bags. Each bag is  designed to be healthier – with built-in antimicrobial product protection to inhibit the growth of bacterial odors, vented compartments, separation of your wet, sweaty gear from your dry stuff, and venting air to keep your bag dry and suppress odor. TA-DA!

Any of the Apera Bags would be a great gift for anyone: gym rat, student, traveler, new mom (yep a client of mine uses it as a diaper bag) or just for someone who like to carry everything plus the kitchen sink, cause that will fit in the bag too!

Unfortunately the Performance Duffel is on back order, BUT all of the other fabulous bags are 20% off right now and Apera is also offering FREE SHIPPING!!!

 

 

Apera Bag Review

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Apera Bags to review one of their bags. I was given a choice of what bag I wanted to test out. Well, if you know me, I carry BIG bags and I don’t leave home without EVERYTHING that I think I could possibly need during the day even though I know I will never use 50% of it. But I always have that little voice in the back of my head saying “It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it”. (PS the “voice”, which sounds a lot like my mom, also makes sure that I’m wearing clean underwear when I leave the house in case I have an accident).  So I checked out Apera’s super sleek looking website and I decided on the big daddy of them all – the Performance Duffel in Fuchsia (of course).

When I got the bag, I was pleasantly surprised how big and roomy the bag was.  By looking at the website I knew it would have lots of compartments, but in real life – WOW!!! There are compartments FOR compartments!!!! It even has 2 vented side compartments to store my sweaty workout shoes and clothes so the gear in the interior compartment stay dry and odor free. AND THE BEST PART, the Performance Duffel keeps me organized. With so many pockets, I can keep all of my stuff nice and neat. No more searching and rummaging through my bag only to find the thing I was looking for at the VERY bottom corner. This bag has a spot for everything – even the kitchen sink.  Seriously! I wanted to share with you how I pack my Performance Duffel just so you can see how much room it has.

What can I get in my bag? Well, an ipod, ipod speakers, jump rope, resistance band, workout clothes including a big sweatshirt,  a towel, 2 pairs of shoes (a girl can never have too many shoes to choose from), water bottle, protein powder shaker, bootcamp binder, a hand dandy notebook, my wallet, tablet,  gymboss and my shower/makeup caddy.

Not only is this bag functional, but it’s stylish. Since having this bag I have had numerous people ask me about it. Even a mom who said it would make the perfect diaper bag!
