I don’t know about you, but after seeing FabFitFun (the popular fitness-inspired delivery service) take over the Instagram world via fitness influencers and B-list celebrities from The Bachelor, I had to find out for myself what the hype was about. So while this was originally a politically charged mission to discover FabFitFun’s secrets (I needed to know), I thought it would be worthwhile to try out other fitness delivery services alongside it.
You may be asking: What’s the point of signing up for an exercise box? As a longtime athlete, I have always been fascinated by the different aspects of fitness: from the quality (and quantity) of exercise we need to protein supplements and muscle recovery. But sometimes it’s hard to focus on the parts of fitness that we need most. Maybe you’re looking to boost your protein intake, or train for that marathon, or take on more advanced yoga moves. These boxes claim to help you accomplish those goals by providing clothing, supplies, and nutrients straight to your doorstep.
I chose five boxes that each cater to specific fitness niches, such as CrossFit or running. I then tested them for content quality and effectiveness (that is, whether the items in the box would truly help someone who participates in the suggested niche — that is the point, isn’t it?).
Here’s what I thought about each of them.
