Why did we start Gym Gypsy?
We saw a need for a product that met the needs and aesthetic requirements of the female athlete. Let’s be honest, there are lots of day planners and workout journals out there. However, we found ourselves lugging around two or 3 books; one to function as a day planner, one to function as a workout journal, and usually another notebook to write down goals and to do list and to track what we ate during the day. That’s THREE books stuffed into our bags. That’s a lot to carry around day-to-day!
We also found that while we liked the aesthetics of our day planner, it was HUGE. Think size of a text book kinda big. On the other hand, our workout journal was small and compact, but it just wasn’t cute. It was very masculine. And as much as we like to lift heavy things and sweat, we’re still girls and we like PRETTY things. Am I right? And that poor little notebook usually got smashed and destroyed in the bottom of our bags.
We looked online for something to fit the bill: a day planner, to-do list and goal setter, nutrition log, and workout journal. Plus, we wanted it to look nice too. After scouring the internet, we came up empty handed. And voila, Gym Gypsy was born. Our hope is that women athletes of all varieties will find that the Gym Gypsy journal streamlines the amount of “stuff” they carry around and helps them stay organized and stylish all at the same time.
