One solution is to shove it all in your sports bra and end up looking kind of like a lumpy Dolly Parton. Not really a solution.
You could use some version of a fanny pack, but then you end up looking like an aging tourist with everything flopping around during your run. This doesn't really work.
![]() |
Just say NO to the fanny pack. |
I didn't know what I was missing until I tried the FlipBelt!
![]() |
Oh look, my favorite website is up on Hubby's phone. |
I admit I was kind of skeptical that my phone wouldn't bounce around during a run, but I tested it today and I really forgot it was there (and I loaded that thing up, just to see how much it would hold.) I was shocked at how it was so light and comfortable.

Ollie and I took it for a test run (pun intended) |
This isn't just for running, the FlipBelt would be great for the gym, CrossFit, Yoga, boot camp, hiking, biking, walking, or whenever else you want to keep your personal belongings close, while remaining hands free.
I Flippin' love it.
This is a runner's best friend. Man's best friend likes it too.

Ha Ha Just kidding. Ollie didn't wear it during the run, I did. He would prefer in color carbon anyway. |
It comes in a variety of colors and sizes, so there is sure to be something to fit your style, for both men and women

I got 2 FlipBelts this week and one of them was pink! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pink! good choice!
DeleteI want a Carbon and a Pink (guys can wear pink, right?).
ReplyDeleteabsolutely. Everyone knows REAL men wear pink. :)
DeleteI was just online shopping for spibelts before I saw your facebook post about this contest. I'm going to ditch my bulky hydration belt for the Cowtown and get a sleek belt for small stuff. Looks like a flipbelt would be perfect for my keys and GU gels. Carbon in a medium for me please. I'm going to cross my fingers, knock on wood and throw a pinch of salt over my shoulder.
ReplyDeleteall that stuff works, I am sure. Just don't forget to come back and fill out the rafflecopter form! Good luck!
DeleteDone.
DeleteI guess I need a medium, I want the gray one!
ReplyDeletemine was a medium too - good color choice - goes with everything. :)
DeleteThese look awesome! I'd be all about a black ninja flip belt size medium please!
ReplyDeleteyes, ninja! that is exactly how I feel!
DeletePink & black, med for me. I use the fitness belt now, but would love on of these!!
ReplyDeleteI want a pink and black, xl for me. I've just started running and this would be really helpful.
ReplyDeletePink XL please :)
ReplyDeleteWould love a carbon size M pleeeeeeeease :))
ReplyDeleteProbably a large for me, but DEFINITELY in teal blue.
ReplyDeleteThe teal in a medium! Love you had it on your dog too :)
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is definitely me before a run haha, I just feel the need to carry *everything*, 'just in case' (including my metro card- in case I, I dunno, maybe fall and break my leg in 10 different places and don't feel like hobbling all the way home/to the hospital!). But this flipbelt sounds really handy! I'd love a violet one in medium :)
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! I know the feeling! Good luck!
DeleteCool! Black XS :)
ReplyDeleteOrange xs
ReplyDeletePink, small :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome!!
ReplyDeleteBlack, size medium. This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI normally would pick black, but lets go fun and do the pink :) Medium Thanks for the give away
ReplyDeleteyes, I agree...go with fun! good luck!
DeleteI would choose an XL pink one! This is an awesome idea! I sooo wish I had known about it yesterday for my half! It ended up being hot and raining and I had to carry my iPhone in a ziplock bag in my bra! It was so uncomfortable! I would LOVE one of these! Thanks for having the giveaway!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh no that sounds terrible! But congrats on your half! :) Good Luck!
DeleteI'm just starting to go on longer runs where i need to worry about what to do with my stuff. Figured out the hard way last week just putting everything in the pocket of your hoodie doesn't work either. I like the pictures of the flipbelt and might get one anyway even if I don't win. I like the pink and would need a large. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteawesome! If you decide to purchase one, dont forget to use the discount code RFD303 for free shipping
DeleteI so need one of these pink in large. I am a culprit of putting keys and id in my bra and carry my phone.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink! This is a much better option than the bra! :)
DeleteHard to pick just two colors. Love them all. Have to go with a pink for sure. And I guess the green. XL.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd pick "sky" or the violet. It is hard to choose :)

ReplyDeletegood luck with your training! Yes, I think this belt will be very helpful!
DeleteAny other suggestions on must have gear? I mainly been running 5-6 miles so all I needed was a good pair of shoes and my runkeeper app. That was until my friend convinced me I "needed" to do a marathon! Just had foot surgery last week and have to give up running for 2 months so I'm going to need to jump back in hardcore to make this happen!
DeleteWould love a black XLone, my pockets are always stuffed full of my junk lol

ReplyDeleteOh wow, do I go with the prettiest color (pink) or the color that coordinates best with everything (black.
