Born Tough: Fitness Apparel Review

When I started in the fitness industry, nearly 15 years ago, there were nowhere near as many brands as we see today. From pre-workouts and protein bars to fitness apparel and online coaching, advancements in social media and the internet have created a massive boom. While we’ve been asked to review an incalculable number of products and services, you might be surprised to know that many never make it to the blog. While there are brands we love that we drive valuable traffic to every day, there are also brands that we would never recommend because they’re painfully obvious money-grabbing attempts to capitalize on the growth in our industry. Then, there are the brands in the middle of the pack.

Join Team Hungry & Fit

For some of you, it’s been over 1000 emails. While we might not send out weekly, monthly, quarterly or even annual newsletters, we send nearly 2000 of you emails at least five days a week. Those emails are our posts and if you’ve been following us for a long time, you’ve seen posts that talk about personal issues, animals, nerdy stuff, and obviously… eating and exercise. At the end of the day, or five years in this case, everything comes back to our mission.

At Hungry & Fit, we want you to know that you can turn your lifestyle into something sustainable. You can be hungry (eat the food that you want) and fit (feel good, look good, perform well) at the same time! No matter what stresses life throws at you, there is a way to cope with it so that you can maintain that healthy and happy lifestyle.

Cures For a Few Sleep Problems

If there’s one problem in America, it’s a serious sleep problem! How many people have you talked to just in one day that complain about a bad night’s sleep or complain that they’re tired? I feel like it’s rampant, especially in Los Angeles and other big cities. It can be little things to a busy mind that won’t quit or big things like insomnia. Any little or big thing can seriously detract from your sleep which then detracts from your life in its entirety! Lack of sleep can cause irritability which can cause stress in your relationships which can cause major unhappiness. Lack of sleep can be a root problem of many other seemingly larger problems. I’m sharing this graphic on behalf of Casper, an online company that sells a new latex foam mattress, to give you some simple cures to frustrating sleep problems.

Why Customer Service is ALWAYS Key

With the amount of competition in the world, especially our capitalist society, a single bad or good experience can make or break your opinion about something. When there are a hundred dog food brands, a thousand protein powders, and dozens of car brands, the tiniest things can impact your decisions. However, it’s easy to avoid developing negative feelings for many of those brands since their employees often aren’t selling you the products. You won’t be upset with Purina if the cashier at Petco has an attitude, although it could still give you a negative association with the brand.

A brand we haven’t had bad customer service with
