Hydration solution

3 June 2013

I started working at at Smart Studio a fitness studio near my house back in October. Ever since, I’ve been faced with challenges surrounding staying hydrated during the workout. There are water coolers and plastic cups, but I wanted to bring my own bottle to fill from the cooler, since the cups are small and I didn’t want to create that waste.

I was using my Life Factory 22-ounce glass water bottle, but I found opening it and drinking from its wide mouth while on the elliptical machine to be a real challenge that frequently ended up with me spilling water on myself. I bought a flip-top cap for it, but that didn’t really help. The flip top just kept annoying me by hitting me in the nose.

Then in my daily email from The Grommet a few weeks ago I saw Cuppow. It’s a plastic cover that turns a wide-mouth mason jar into a sippy cup. Now I love a sippy cup, so this makes me very happy. (The Cuppow folks call it a “to go lid” rather than using the term “sippy cup,” for what it’s worth.)

Here’s a picture of my Cuppow on a mason jar I happened to own.

This is a pint-sized jar, but I’m going to get my hands on a quart jar so I don’t have refill it as often during a workout. It will also be easier to grab in the machines’ cup holders.

For me, it’s a simple solution. It may not terribly chic, but I’m certainly not chic when I’m at the gym. Thank you Cuppow and The Grommet!

P.S. I now see that Cuppow is available on Amazon sized for both wide and regular mouthed jars.
