I’m so sorry if any of you are having trouble with your orders. PV.Body is going through a transition right now towards an in-house brand called Ellie. I didn’t know this when I received my box and wrote this review. It’s probably best to give them some time to let the dust settle before trying out the new line. I apologize for any inconvenience this partnership has caused.
The latest trend sweeping mailboxes near you is customized monthly box subscriptions of everything from organic beauty products to fashion clothing to healthy snacks to fitness wear.
pv.body asked if they could surprise me with one of their Fit Boxes as a mom on the move. I happily accepted, knowing I needed all the help and motivation I could get to get moving after Mazen was born!
Your box is customized based on a fitness quiz you take about the style of workouts, colors and apparel you like. The style fairies then put together a two-piece outfit that retails for over $100 for just $49. If you’re into higher end fitness apparel, then this is quite a deal. Shipping is always freeee, you can cancel the subscription at any time, and if your clothes don’t fit they will send a replacement that does. (You can also refund the whole box if you wish to return it all).
So what did I receive?
These American Apparel running tights. I am in love with them for recent winter runs! I have actually never owned running tights because I generally prefer pants that slightly flare to make my shorty legs look longer. I assumed tights would not fit me very well and shift around or bunch, but these fit perfectly and don’t budge. I also can’t believe how wonderful running without flare flapping at your ankles is. Duh! So a huuuuge thumbs up for these.
For the top, I got this Nux brand tank. I love the color, and it fit well, but for this nursing mama, it was a bit too revealing for anything but hatha yoga, so I opted to send it back. Although instead of sending it back, I was given the choice of giving it to a reader as a giveaway. See below!!
In exchange, pv.body sent this navy sports top that I like much more for its coverage. It’s also nice and long so it works well as a transition from maternity wear.
If you’re interested in trying out pv.body yourself, you can get 20% off by jumping over from BERF!

My new fav activity is weight training. And you are actually the one who inspired me to do it! All your training during pregnancy really helped you stay fit and strong! I figured if you could do it throughout your pregnancy I could give it a whirl. And I love it! I love the feeling of muscles that are well worked out and tired. It makes resting all the more enjoyable
As a bonus not only is my body getting toned up, It has helped to amp up my metabolism!
That tank is cute, I’m a new momma too but have never been too blessed in the chest area so I’m sure I’d be covered
My favorite fitness activity is strength training, whether in a class like body pump or on my own
My favorite cardio activity is step class, but I also love that great feeling you get after you finish a 5k/10k/half marathon!
I love a good sweaty run!
I love running! It’s funny because it was something that I HATED in middle and high school and turned into something I can’t live without after college.
Fav fitness activity is anything that is anything that is fun, makes me feel strong and gets my heart moving!! So for me that is yoga, walking, running, hiking outside, or doing various workout classes.
i wold love to win this!! i’m big into bootcamp and yoga, could wear it for both
I was always a swimmer (competitive, water polo, syncro), so that’s still my favorite work-out, though I have to admit I run more often because it’s “quicker”. (No wet hair to deal with!)
My favorite exercise would have to be running ~ though a good fit camp class (strength/cardio mix) is pretty high up there.
I love running! My son is 8 months old, and I’ve already done 5 races since he was born
Yoga is my favorite!
my favorite workout is a nice and sweaty heated yoga class. This tank would be perfect!
Typically I would say running, but I’ve been hitting the pool more lately and am LOVING it!
Love running! At 28 weeks pregnant, I miss it!
I’m a spin girl through and through
Well, I took the quiz and everything’s ready to go, but I feel like I should wait til after the holidays for money-conscious reasons – but Im REALLY interested in doing this! Its a lot like True&Co – its an online bra store where you take a quiz and give measurements, and they send you 5 bras for $40. You try them all on and send back any you don’t like. Each bra you keep is $40-$45, and you pay for those. If you don’t like any, you get refunded everything. I will NEVER shop for bras in the stores again, seriously, haha. Might be good for when you’re out of your nursing bras!
Anyway, the tank is very cute! I do wear a medium, but it’s a little plain for my tastes
I hope it finds a good home, though!
I love weight training. Feel the burn
I love running and circuit style workouts!
I love boot camp classes at the gym.
Elliptical + pilates
Vinyasa flow yoga!

Running! Its good for me physically and mentally.
My favorite fitness activity — and mode of transportation — is bicycling. I love how practical it is, and how far you can go!
Love the tights! I would love to win the top, my favorite activity is a tie between yoga and hiking.
Right now, while 33 weeks pregnant, just good old walking! But I have some Jillian DVDs I will get into after birth.
I love going to spin class!
Cute tank! I would have to say riding my bike is my favorite outdoor, and yoga if it’s raining!
I typically love running! I’m in my first trimester and running has NOT happened yet. Hope to change that in a few weeks

My favorite fitness activity is outdoor cycling. There is nothing better than being alone on the road on a hot Summer day, or crisp Fall morning!
It’s a combo of body pump, which I’m loving, and running as my 2013 goal is to complete at least a 10k!
The running tights looks great and great that they sent you a replacement top in a similar colour to the one they’d sent originally!
I got my PV clothes in last week, love them!
