NEW KIT NEW YOU 2020 marks the start of a new year, a new decade, and a new you! For our ‘New Kit New You’ series, we have tried and tested new training kit just for you. Built for Athletes kindly sent us the 45L Hero Backpack in yellow, a wash bag, and a gym towel. Built for athletes Following the success of the Hero Backpack, Built for Athletes has increased their product range with the addition of new backpack colours in the 45L model, a new 25L capacity Hero Backpack and a number of accessories to cater for all your gym needs. We took the new kit to our December 2019 ‘What We Did Next’ boxing class at Grange Fitness. Where do we start? The backpack is like something Mary Poppins would own - the space is never ending. For the class, we needed to take a DSLR camera with flash, a laptop, a hard drive, a notepad, our gym things, as well as other essentials. All of this equipment fit into the bag with room
to spare! i.e. if you needed a large pot of protein powder for your session, that would fit no problem too. It’s just the problem of trying to think of all the possible things to take! With the added towel and wash bag, it made our trip to the gym like a dream. The towel is so soft and very quick drying; with the was bag being roomy for plenty of toiletries too. Built for Athlete’s believe an athlete’s mindset is to surpass boundaries, continually striving for high performance, to never settle once a goal is achieved but raise the bar higher and go again. Built for Athletes is satisfied that it’s created the best in class fitness backpack. Today it’s trusted by fitness industry experts and elite athletes. #athletesneverstop YELLOW HERO BACKPACK - £69.99 BFA GYM TOWEL - £19.99 BFA WASH BAG - £19.99
