Several months ago when I started planning meals and prepping foods for to take along to work, outings, etc I found that it was very difficult to fit everything one needs in a typical “lunch box”. I meal to get it all to fit, I might as well sent us off carrying a small travel suitcase which obviously would be insane. While doing my “homework” I stumbled across FitMark bags and they looked like the perfect solution for our family.
Fitmark Bags
I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of bags they had to offer. The traditional BOX LG was perfect for me during outings and bringing food, but my husband is an avid cyclist and often pedals to work. I was pleasantly surprised that they even had a Transporter Backpack that would work for him and make carry easy!
The Transporter bag contains 2 seal-tight meal containers that are BPA free of course and even has a Fit-Tech compartment with soft-support panels to securely hold your 17″ laptop. It does have separate kicks and a laundry bag should be heading to the gym after work. With fully adjustable, dual custom padded shoulder straps for a comfortable, relaxed fit you just can’t go wrong. Also, like the BOX LG, this also contains 2 ice packs.
Now for the one that I have been using. It’s the traditional BOX LG and is perfect for carrying my daily meals. In the below picture you can see the size of this bag as well as the containers that are included. The containers are very generously sized so I am never trying to cram stuff into them. I also love the fact that shaker cup has a place to protein powder as well as a place to hold my daily supplements. When eating breakfast on the go, it’s so easy to just drop the supplements in the cup and take them at the time you normally would.
The Box LG is seriously awesome. Although it’s for food carry for my day (and by the way you can food prep for the week and use your own containers as well just fine since obviously the four containers that come with this bag are for a typical day), but this is also great for outtings. I love packing our family snacks in this bag if we go on a big ride or hike. It seems the minute we get back to the car the boys are starving so this is perfect for them to get a delicious healthy snack as well as a cold drink. It’s big enough to accommodate our entire family for a simple outting or picnic. With that being said, it’s safe to say that this bag gets used a ton!
Now I am sure some of you are wondering about the price, right? I found the price to be very comparable to other products like this on the market. The Box LG has a SRP of $79.99 and the Transporter which I mentioned earlier is only $99.99 and both of these bags have FREE SHIPPING! See how I put that in all caps? I hate paying shipping so when I find FREE SHIPPING it makes it so much more appealing. So not only do you get a great product at a great price but same day FREE SHIPPING!!
Another part of FitMark Bags I want to mention is their giving back campaign. It really says a lot about companies that offer these types of programs and really makes me want to use them in place of another similar company.
So what is their giving back campaign?
Well since the start of of Fitmark in early 2012, they have had this program in place. From the very beginning they made a commitment to work hard to grow their company so not only could they achieve growth projections but to also be able to give back to the community.
They started out by providing bags to a few local non-profits, including the Boys and Girls Club, as well as donated monetarily to some great causes. Their ultimate goal, however, was to be able to provide bags to kids who not only worked hard in school but participated in after school sports
programs but particularly those kids who were less fortunate than others. As many of us parents know, sports can be very expensive and for them to be able to help these children are awesome!
With all their hard work and having such an amazing program, the day has finally come! Fitmark will be donating a bag for every $100 they net through the Fitmark website sales. All bags will be donated directly to a handful of Boys and Girls Clubs around the country who will then in turn provide them to a young boy or girl who is not only doing well in school but also involved in after school sports!!
So if you are looking for a bag depending on your sport of choice, be sure to check out
Fitmark Bags first. They seriously have a wide variety of bags to fit different needs and knowing that they are giving back makes it worth it.
