Lululemon Amphipod Hydration Belt

First, time for my announcement! I was recently picked to be a Sweat Pink Ambassador!
I feel like I have #sweatpink my whole life so I am pretty excited 
Stay tuned for some fun stuff for all of you as well! I am truly looking forward to working with Fit Approach and helping the world #sweatpink.
As you guys know, I have a Lululemon addiction. Needless to say I made sure to visit the mother ship Lulu store while I was in Arizona. And boy am I glad I did! I have been on the hunt for a new fuel belt for my long training runs and hadn’t found the perfect fit. Enter Lulu. Their Amphipod Hydration Belt is PERECT. Check out my vlog … and subscribe to my You Tube channel while you’re at it
Can’t watch video? Have no fear. This belt is worthy of some pics as well I tested the smphipod hydration belt out on my 4 mile run this weekend. My biggest criteria was that it could carry my necessities, feel comfortable, and not bounce. The Lulu belt has some pretty awesome features to it as well!
First, there are 3 8oz water bottles attached. I tend to drink a lot on long runs so this is great for me! I was getting tired of carrying a water bottle and my last fuel belt bounced a lot. I plan on filling these bad boys with water and Nuun
My other favorite feature of this belt is the built in pocket for my iPhone. I always run with my cell phone and this pouch is incredibly convenient. The other neat thing about it is that you can actually use the touch screen of your phone THROUGH the case. Awesome
Another great feature … the removable race number attachments. I HATE putting safety pin holes into my clothes at races so this will be awesome come this fall! Also, I can never get my bib straight so I always look like a doofus. Hopefully this fixes that problem also
Overall I am really happy with my purchase and definitely recommend this product to other runners. The belt staid tight around my waist as a I ran and the water bottles didn’t bounce. I felt comfortable wearing it and it stored all my running necessities. My only con is that the water bottles were a little difficult to get out of their holsters but I got the hang of it after a few times.
Do you wear a running belt? If so, which one do you like?
DISCLAIMER: I bought this product for myself with my own money. All opinions are my own. Lululemon doesn’t even know I exist
I’ll have to get there soon
I bought a hydration belt when I was still running in Chicago, used it once and that was it. It bounced and moved around and I hated it. Plus, Chicago has so many water fountains along the path that I didn’t really need it. Since moving back to Wisconsin, it’s something I’m definitely going to need when I start running again, so I’ll have to check this one out.
Thanks so much for sharing this review on the lulu hydration belt. It sounds awesome!!

That looks like a great running belt! I particularly love the iPhone pocket and the fact that you can use your touch screen through the plastic. Genius!
Thanks for reviewing this for us!

The iPhone pocket is what sold me! LOVE it!
This is fabulous! I may have to look into getting something like this. I hate carrying my water bottle with me but I know I need it

I just got into Sweat Pink too.
I am falling in love with Lulu. They moved into Charleston a little over a month ago and my wallet and workout wardrobe will never be the same. Thanks for the review.

WOO!! Congrats to you!
Love lulu so of course they would come up with a genius fuel belt! Every fuel belt I’ve tried bounces so I’m hoping lulu doesn’t fail me. But the iphone case is perfect!

I need a new belt, but still love my trusty Fuel Belt
Can’t wait to tote our belts on some long runs together!
nope, can’t stand belts. i love my hand held bottle. My iphone fits perfectly in the pocket and I can have up to 24oz in a bottle. I use the a New Nathan Hand Held carrier with a Camelbak Bottle

Congrats on becoming an ambassador!!!
And…I want that fuel belt now. The fact you can touch your screen while it’s still tucked safely away sells me alone.
