MOTIVATIONAL
FITNESS JEWELRY
Momentum is a jewelry line created especially for fitness enthusiasts. Creator Amy Cochrane came up with the idea when she was doing a “seemingly never-ending plank” in her favorite class at the gym. She looked at her wrist and knew she needed to have something encouraging there. The product line includes wraps, cuffs, headbands, earrings, necklaces and tags for shoes, all with a variety of motivational sayings such as “Beast Mode” and “COMMIT to be fit.” The products are washable, lightweight and non tarnishing.
