Beyond the gym, many fitness enthusiasts maintain a healthy lifestyle with strict eating habits, routine stretching and consuming fitness supplements. In order to make it easier for gym-goers to get the supplements they need, SuppNow was developed as a vending machine for fitness centers and gyms.
SuppNow is a new venture that was launched by Armand Farrokh and Nick Cegelski, two young entrepreneurs with a passion for fitness. As a wrestler, Farrokh found that in order to get supplements, he ended up paying for overpriced products in-store or getting hit with shipping costs when he found a deal online. As an alternative. SuppNow kiosks were launched to compete with retail prices and offer greater convenience to consumers.
These machines carry a range of supplements that can be selected from a touchscreen, including ones tailored to fat-burning or refueling post-workout.
