American Athlete Commits to Partner with Local Companies
American Athlete and Nuun launch reusable co-branded water bottles through Vessel Drinkware in an effort to provide people with a healthy way to stay hydrated and reduce the gym’s carbon footprint.
Tony Held, Owner and Co-founder of American Athlete says “Nuun and Vessel Drinkware are amazing companies and we are thrilled to work with them. Together we can help our members get one step closer to achieving their personal fitness goals by providing them with a healthy and environmentally friendly way to stay hydrated through their workouts and lower the club’s waste output.”
Nuun is the ideal choice for eco-conscious, active people looking for an optimal and earth-friendly hydration solution. Nuun is an easy-to-use, portable electrolyte replacement drink without sugar, with fewer than 5 calories, and minus the disposable plastic bottles that other electrolyte drinks come in. Nuun contains four essential electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium with a nice, refreshing flavor. Since Nuun doesn’t have sugar it doesn’t upset the stomach or overwhelm taste buds plus the lack of caffeine means you can drink as much as you want. And, Nuun’s flavors are just enough to remind you to keep drinking. In fact, adding a flavor to water encourages you to drink 40% more than normal, while adding flavor and electrolytes can increase your intake by 90% vs. plain water.
Vessel Drinkware is committed to ending the use of plastic bottles by providing high-quality, stylish drink-ware. Their water bottles are food-grade stainless steel throughout, providing a great alternative for customers who are trying to avoid aluminum. Because there are no clear plastics, there are no worries regarding BPA. The logos on the outside of the bottle use only food-safe paint and lead-free ink.
Through this partnership American Athlete aims to eliminate the need for single-use and mutli-use plastic water bottles in its facility. Not only do plastic water bottles produce waste, but research is revealing the harmful effects associated with the chemical BPA, found in plastics including water bottles.
Held has been rewarding the positive accomplishments of American Athletes by giving them reusable steel bottles, but they are also available for purchase at the front desk. If you have any questions about this partnership or reusable water bottles see the front desk.
