First, thanks to everyone who wished me well regarding my back/neck pain. Yesterday morning I went to a doctor who diagnosed me with a pinched nerve and I spent the rest of the day on a heating pad on my couch. Everything is feeling a little bit better today so my fingers are crossed that everything will keep improving!
Next, I have an awesome company to tell you about today. A couple of weeks ago, pv.Body (of Puravit) contacted me to be part of their review team and after hearing about the company, I couldn’t say no. Especially after I heard that they were willing to offer you guys a 20% discount 
*.
So what is pv.Body? Well, for $39/month you take the quick pvBody style quiz to determine your workout clothes preferences, then experts put together an outfit based on your requests (top + bottom), and if you subscribe, you will receive one FitBox in the mail each month with a new outfit. pv.Body partners with high quality companies like Nike, Lululemon, Hardtail, Adidas etc so that you can get name brand gear for only $39 a month. Pretty cool right?
pv.Body (affiliate link) offered to send me a FitBox to review for the blog and last week they sent me a style quiz to fill out that included the following questions:
- Top-size: x-small, small, medium, large
- Bottom-size: x-small, small, medium, large
- Style: What’s your ideal workout? yoga, runner, casual/stylish, gym goer
- Color preference- top: muted colors, bold colors, patterns, black & white
- Color preference- bottom: muted colors, bold colors, patterns, black & white
- Bottom preference: shorts, capris/pants, both
I left my answers pretty open and basically specified my sizes, that I’m a runner, and that I prefer shorts in the summer and capris/pants in the winter. I don’t really have color preferences for workout clothes so I left that open– plus, I wanted to see what pv.Body would send me!
Ever since I sent back my quiz, I have been anxiously awaiting my FitBox’s arrival. You can only guess my excitement when I saw this big sparkly package waiting for me yesterday!
I opened it up and pulled out the top and bottom– I was impressed by how neatly wrapped everything was, it made me feel like I had just gone shopping in a nice clothing store.
So what did I get in my first FitBox?
I received a purple tank top and a pair of black crops both by a brand called Nux. Honestly, I’ve never heard of Nux but after feeling the fabric of the Serena Foldover Crop Pants and the Infinity Adjustable T-back Cami I knew that I would love both. I actually spent some time on the Nux website (dangerous because I liked a lot of their stuff) and found out that the outfit sent to me by pv.Body retails for $109! If I had paid the $39 for this box, I would have saved $70. What a deal!
Unfortunately, I have yet to try out either piece of clothing because this morning it was in the 20′s when I went out to run– yikes! I plan on wearing both later this week and while I’m not worried about the fit, I’ll be sure to fill you guys in on how they do 
.
Considering I probably buy (or want to buy ) a new workout outfit every month, pv.Body (affiliate link) is an awesome deal– cute clothes that fit well plus no hassle of going to stores in Chicago…. all for an awesome price! So, if you want to receive a monthly box of clothes USE THIS LINK to receive 20% off when you sign-up. If you’re worried about signing up, trying it, and then not liking it or wanting to quit your subscription, you can always log in to your pv.Body account and cancel it (although I’m not sure exactly why you would want to!).
Have you ever participated in a monthly subscription like pv.Body before (monthly wine, cupcakes, clothes, etc)? Did you like it?
*pv.Body contacted me and offered to send me a free FitBox. They also provided me with an affiliate link. All opinions expressed are my own.
i’ve never participated in a monthly “box” club but this one is one i’ve seen around blogs and i think i might bite the bullet. i absolutely love workout gear but i don’t often let myself splurge on it. $40 seems so reasonable for a whole workout outfit! i’m impressed with the retail value of the stuff – especially because brand names aren’t that important to me, i think pv.body might just be something i sign up for…
glad you got your back diagnosed. enjoy your heating pad!

I know, its such a steal! I’m thinking about signing up as well!
That is really interesting and a pretty neat concept about the monthly workout clothes being sent.
I’m glad you have a diagnosis for your back. I’ll always be on the firm belief that knowing is way better then not knowing!

I agree! I felt kind of silly for going to the doctor because he couldn’t do anything about it but I’m glad to know that nothing too serious is going on with my back!
Dang. This could give my Target workout clothes loyalty a run for its money. $40 for two pieces of workout clothes is incredible! Man, $40 for one piece of name brand workout clothing would be incredible! Definitely something I need to look into….
Hope your back continues to feel better! My mom has had a lot of back pain related to nerve issues, and it’s always looks like the opposite of a good time. Boo pain!

Target has some cute running stuff out right now. I actually almost bought a pullover but when I looked at the price I couldn’t justify spending like $50 on it. When did their stuff get so pricey?
Thanks, it wasn’t fun at all. Luckily the sharp, shooting pain is basically gone and now I just have an achy neck and back. Progress!
I saw these guys on Facebook and wondered what the deal was. Thanks for the insight!
No problem. It’s a pretty cool company and the price is amazing!
Whoa! That’s really awesome. So, it’s $39 total? What if the stuff in the box doesn’t fit or doesn’t work for you? Do you get the $39 back? I use Stitch Fix sometimes but that’s $20 for the box and then you have to pay for each piece that you want to keep separately. And if nothing works for you then you don’t get the $20 back.

And I don’t know why that weird blog post is showing up next to my name. I didn’t write that!!
Weird….
It’s $39 and if you use the link above you get 20% off of that
.
There are two ways to return things (1) if you don’t like the items in your box, you can contact pv.Body and they will send you a return label, you send the clothes back, and then you are refunded the $39 or (2) if one item (or both) don’t fit, you can contact pv.Body, explain what the issue with the clothes is, they send you a return label, you send out your stuff, and they send you something in a different size or something entirely different.
um this sounds amazing. I need to look into it! And I hope your back gets better soon!!!!!

Thanks Katie!
You should definitely look into it and if you use the link above you also receive 20% off the $39!
I have never participated in a monthly online box club but pvBody sounds like a great service. I normally get my workout clothes at target and I cannot believe that the whole outfit was $39. Hope your neck pain is getting better. I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder and I wiped out while I was skiing a few years back so I feel your pain.

Ouch! Yeah it sucks but Tylenol and my heating pad are definitely working their magic on me!
I tried this company and I loved it. On our website – http://www.activevixen.com we have had a lot of chatter about the product, as well. We received our first order and shared our findings with all the ladies out there, as it is fun to see what each other gets. I have a good feeling about this company for sure. Cheers to PV Body and conversations about the lovely products they supply.

I agree, I think pv.Body is doing an awesome thing providing discount workout clothes to women. I hope they succeed!
What a cool idea!

I know right?
This is so tempting. It sounds like a great deal. I’m supposed to be saving money for Christmas gifts and yet, I keep wanting to spend money on myself!
Alyssa @ Don’t Look Down recently posted..quinoa stuffed mushrooms
That always happens to me. I see all of the good deals and I start spending money on myself!
wow this sounds pretty awesome! I have heard of other monthly delivery boxes with food or makeup but I like the workout clothes idea. I might just have to sign up for this!
Hope your neck/back is feeling better too

Thanks Cate! It’s a cool company and I love that they are so willing to work with clients to make sure the stuff they send you is what you want/need!
