Jeremy from Carbon Energized Canada Apparel was nice enough to send me a sports bra and a pair of shorts. The products are designed and made in Italy.
The long pants and shirt are the most popular but perhaps that was because of the winter weather. They were made from Polypropylene Dry Yarn which has the best thermal capacity of ANY fiber even wool. Great abrasion resistance. They also don’t absorb water. They are antibacterial, anti mold, and are Hypoallergenic.
The apparel was tested in a hospital sports lab, and decrease lactic acid build up 12% more than Polyester. Decrease heart rate and respirations also compared to Polyester. 3X less body temp variation during your workout compared to Polyester.
I found them to be quite comfy. A lot of the other apparel that they have on their website looks great too! http://www.carbonenergized.ca
If you get a chance to purchase the shirts and tights from them let me know if you liked the apparel as much as I do.
Thanks again Jeremy and Carbon Energized Canada! Good luck with your awesome apparel line!

Absolutely in love with these Monster Headphones. Introducing the Monster Candy NTune headphones. You can even buy them at Walmart Canada.
This past weekend I was asked by Reebok to attend the Canadian Launch of Reebok One. The Launch was on the Friday Morning of the three day Canfit Pro Conference. Which was held on the 16,17 and 18th of August at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre. This show is the largest fitness trade and convention show in Canada. This year Jillian Michaels was an attendee and spoke to the crowd during the opening of the show. Many other famous Fitness Personalities were also in attendance. My friend Tommy Europe the face of Canadian fitness was also there and was introduced as the leading Canadian Ambassador for Reebok One.
In anticipation to the launch a few days before I created my own Reebok One Page. It can be found at http://www.reebok.com/trainitright not know exactly what I was creating. The whole set up process was really easy. Except for some reason the province of Ontario does not exist in my menu. So I chose Ohio. Everything else was really smooth and I would compare it to setting up a facebook or a Linkedin account. Quick and easy.
So what is Reebok One? It is a FREE platform that allows you to connect with other fitness professionals from around the globe. It also is a place where your clients or potential clients can see where or when your classes are and what your schedule is like. Reebok One allows people searching for trainers in your area to find you and contact you as well. A few features that the website displays are your; twitter, website, facebook, google +, pintrest, and even your favourite workout playlists.
The platform also allows you to save on reebok purchases and lets you list your favourite reebok workout gear for your clients and followers to view and offers them a discount too. When they purchase from your page it also gives you a commission on the sale. All you have to do is sign up via the site and commission junction.
Reebok One's goal is to enhance the customer fitness experience. To date they have had 13 Launches globally and plan to continue to grow the network. Feel Free to take a look at my page http://www.reebok.com/trainitright and make your own page and follow me! Lets connect!
