Fitness Caddy Review
By Cindy | May 16, 2008
When I recieved the Fitness Caddy from Vicki Forester to conduct this review, my immediate impression was “Moms know best.”
Vicki Forester is a mom who developed a product as a result of her challenges of carrying children and hitting the gym. The Fitness Caddy is designed to keep hands free while getting the toddler, baby or both out of the car without dropping the keys, glasses, and gym card in the process.
From the Fitness Caddy brochure:
~This unisex-styled bag is just big enough to hold up to a 1.5 liter bottle of water but also has multiple compartments to hold identification, gym card, keys, cell phone, glasses, protein bar and much more.
~The pleated deep front pocket has an additional hideaway interior pocket for money which gives the security of leaving a wallet at home
~The 54″easily adjustable strap allows it to be slipped over a shoulder for a quick workout or worn sling style for hands free walking.
~The 2 1/4″ metal ring design in the strap not only adds to the look of this stylish bag but actually can hold a towel.
~BVT designed the Fitness Caddy in luxurious Microfiber because not only is it lightweight but also very durable.
~An included water bottle coller sleeve keeps those drinks nice and cold.
I have fallen in love with the Fitness Caddy. Not only was it useful for our trips to the gym, it has been invaluable during the vacation. I like to travel light, so the Fitness Caddy has made traveling through the airports, to the beach and going on our adventures a snap. I keep a little cash, my driver’s license, and a card tucked in the smaller compartment with cell phone in the pleated side, camera in the velcroed compartment and the water bottle (staying hydrated while traveling is so important) everywhere we go!
The material is strong and smooth. The quality of the stitching is evident. The strap is strong and comfortable on the shoulders. The small extras such as the large ring for a towel and clip for keys are nice touches that make the Fitness Caddy an amazing multitasking Mom’s dream. Plus, I’ve added time to my day by keeping everything in one spot and being able to head out the door without searching the house for keys!
The Fitness Caddy makes a perfect gift for yourself or your friends. Along with the Fitness Caddy, Vicki has also designed a Golfing Caddy and Cruising Caddy.
My only gripe is that the Fitness Caddy comes in one color, black. If you like color, then the Cruising Caddy might be the better choice because it comes in khaki and red as well.
The price is right at $19.99 with reasonable shipping and handling for $4.95. There may also be a store near you that carries the Fitness Caddy which you can find by checking out the store locator.
Extra: Bonus Interview with Vicki Forester
Vicki shares a few of her experiences as a Mom and achieving her fitness goals. Thank you for sharing your personal journey!
I understand that you are an aerobics enthusiast. What is your favorite style of Aerobics class?
| Step. I find it to be the most exilerating and gives me the best workout.. |
A mom always seems to have her hands full, what motivated you to get out the door and to the gym with children in tow?
| I wanted to get back in shape after the birth of my son and I’ve never looked back. |
What is your toughest challenge with physical fitness or healthy eating?
| As I get older it hurts to do some of the activities at the same level I once did. .. |
Where does your active lifestyle take you and your family?
| We enjoy going out to Colorado for white water rafting, California we enjoy hiking and here in Florida we enjoy swimming and biking. |
With the fitness caddy, you freed moms hands, but I’m sure complicated your life with the responsibilities of a business. How are you juggling business and your fitness?’
| Running a business is much more demanding and difficult than keeping in shape. I still find time to get a quick workout first thing in the morning. Then it’s time for work. Thankfully, my husband helps me out quite a bit around the house. |
Moms, I know you’re busy, so how do you keep juggling all the little pieces in your life? Isn’t the Fitness Caddy amazing? I’m excited to add a couple to my Christmas list for Family and Friends.
