What to pack in your gym bag
Share
Exercising in the colder months can be much harder. It requires far more motivation to get up early in the pitch black, or stay out later at the gym when other winter activities beckon.
According to Forbes Advisor, 40% of people who set New Year’s resolutions typically commit to exercising, with 35% focusing on weight loss. In light of this, air up® – the world’s first in drink technology – provides a healthier way to stay hydrated, offering a solution for those looking to cut out drinks high in sugar to prioritise their health and wellbeing this year.
The innovative water bottle uses scented pods to flavour water with an array of different flavours from Kola to Lime to Mango-Passionfruit – all entirely additive, calorie and sugar-free. Not only does this encourage people to stay hydrated, but it makes the act of doing so more appealing.
So how does air up work?
air up harnesses this clever bit of science by infusing flavoured air into every sip of water from the bottle. One of 28 different flavours will be added in bubbles every time you drink and it is this that will give your 100% pure water its flavour. Each pod contains natural flavourings and scents that infuse with ambient air to be added to the pure water, these flavours range from Lime and Orange-Passionfruit to Kola and Iced Coffee with ten others in between.
Who came up with this amazing idea?
The first prototype for air up was developed by Lena Jüngst and Tim Jäger in 2016 and spent three years in development, including a Master’s thesis on aromas, to combine innovative design and the neuroscience behind the idea and turn it into a real product. Since then, air up has successfully launched in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands, with more than one million customers already. Now Lena and the team are bringing this innovative way to drink water to the UK.
Where can I buy one?
air up’s reusable water bottles are available from their website. Including one bottle and three scent pods, is priced at £29.99 to £34.99 depending on the colour of the bottle. Each additional pack of three pods (flavouring a minimum of 15 litres of water) then costs between £5.99 to £8.99, depending on the flavour.
