About the Zero Impact Program


One of Natural Fitness's founding principles is to tread lightly on the earth. They aim to offset the environmental impact that results from the manufacturing and distribution of their products. To achieve this, the company created their Zero Impact Program (ZIP). While Natural Fitness is always looking for new and creative ways to offset their eco-footprint, here’s is what the company is currently doing:
  • Plant-A-Tree Initiative: For every product sold, Natural Fitness will fund the planting of a tree, which can remove up to 2,000 pounds of pollution from the atmosphere. Through various partner organizations, the company hopes to improve the lives of people around the world by implementing sustainable land-use programs utilizing the trees provided. Locations for planting trees vary; but past projects have been conducted throughout Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Each location and project is researched and developed to implement the most effective plan possible; one that is best for the people and eco-system involved.
  • Offsetting the eco-footprint of their employees and offices.
  • Offering the most environmentally-friendly products available.
  • Use a "green" web host company that utilizes solar panels to power its data center and office.
  • Partnering with like-minded companies to raise public awareness about the environmental problems created through use of fossil fuels and other non-sustainable practices.
  • Using recycled content paper in business cards, letterhead, envelopes, labels, checks, and printer/copier paper. All of the product packaging and inserts that Natural Fitness uses are made with recycled paper.
  • Using recycled packaging materials and boxes in the company's warehouse. They also pack with old newspapers and other recyclable paper products.
  • Helped create the Chicago Biodiesel Co-op, which educated, promotes, and produces locally-derived biofuels.
  • Greening the company's comprehensive recycling program and using natural light when possible.
  • Spearheaded an ambitious recycling program for the 500,000 square foot office building Natural Fitness occupies, along with 60 companies.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Green Your Way To Fitness
If you are a serious Yoga practicer, then you are probably very much into `green environmentally-friendly' products. The Natural Fitness (Yoga for weight loss) is the perfect and simplest way to obtain your goals. The mat is 24" X 69" X 1/8" thick. The traction is spot-on and the natural rubber is biodegradable. There are no toxic chemicals here. The kit also comes with a 6-foot long Hemp Fiber pesticide-free Yoga strap for all those stretching exercises. Finally there is the `block' which ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best kit for the price
We purchased this kit (actually 2 of them) for our yoga classes over a month ago and don't have any complaints so far. When the kits arrived, mats had a rubber odor which is quite reasonable - we were buying rubber mats. It was gone in 3-4 days, we left the mats in the attic with windows open. Since they are made from natural materials (no PVC), both the mat and the block are a little bit heavy comparing to PVC ones. The mat is pretty thin (the description says 1/8 inch), so if you are used to 1/4 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Super nice Yoga mat
This mat is perfect for my purposes--exercising on the floor. My previous mat was thicker and Very squishy. Not only did it not provide very good support, but it slid around a LOT on my laminate flooring. I would start a set of routines in one spot, and slowly scoot across the floor. It was a real pain having to stop in the middle of an exercise set, reposition the mat and then restart. Not so with this one!

It sticks to the floor like glue! I can jump and bounce and carry on and this mat ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good deal
This is a good deal overall. I wish the strap was longer. The first position that I tried with the strap, it was too short to use. I also needed not one, but two blocks for many of the positions that I was doing. The package seemed like a good deal, but I will have to buy a longer strap and another block.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good yoga mat
Hi..

I bought this product. It was delivered on the date mentioned and the yoga kit was good with a dvd for yoga. The block is strong and sturdy and the strap is good. The mat is also good , but u tend to slip ..(I have sweaty feet when I do yoga) and tend to slip on it when doing stretches...but the mat is of good size ..very comfortable.
