I’ve been a fan of boxed collections since back in 2013 when StrideBox<\/a> launched as the go to boxed collection for runners. I wrote about my experiences with StrideBox here<\/a> and on their 1st<\/a> and 2nd<\/a> Birthdays. During the time I got them it was a great value and I got some cool gizmos. It was really nutrition (gels, energy drink tablets, etc) focused so when I got injured I stopped getting it.<\/p>\n

Then I found Cairn<\/a>, which is more broadly focused on “outdoor adventures.” They had lot of cool gizmos and gadgets for an outdoor lifestyle – camping, backpacking, etc. Some of the items were things I would never have bought because I don’t see the value in them – but sometimes it was amazing and worth every penny!! I had to end this box set to help ease the family budget last year!<\/p>\n

My wife gets MightyNest<\/a> which is kitchen gadgets. And my dog gets a BarkBox<\/a>. You get the idea right… we like getting boxes of goodness each month!!<\/p>\n

I’m kind of all over the place with fitness lately – running, road biking, mountain biking, CrossFit, Cyclocross, skiing, bouldering, etc… I had looked at several different boxes related to CrossFit things but none of them really caught my eye or seemed like a good value. I’ve heard about Gainz Boxes<\/a> for awhile, but it wasn’t until CrossFit Athlete Cole Sager posted<\/a> about them with a discount code that I decided to pull the trigger and get one.<\/p>\n

It arrived this past week and I finally opened it up. It happened to be the Emily Bridgers box<\/a> with lots of cool stuff. From FitAid<\/a> was a hat, shirt, can of LifeAid, and socks! It also included some Roasted Broad Bean Crisps<\/a> from Enlightened and some wristbands from Victory Grips.<\/a> Plus some kind of discount code or coupon for all the companies mentioned.<\/p>\n

Not a bad deal overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
