The World's Most Perfect Bag for an Active Lifestyle
It started when Melissa found herself turning to exercise to calm her mind, relieve anxiety and stress—and most of all, to do something for herself. Recreational swimming became Melissa’s outlet.
The movement was helping a great deal to clear her mind, but she couldn’t find the products to keep up with her. She needed a workout bag where she could leave her goggles, ear plugs, swim cap, flip-flops, toiletries and kick board, without having to pack and unpack everything. But it didn’t stop there. The perfect bag had to be versatile for using in the showers and stowing in a gym locker. And at home, it had to hang easily on a door or a cupboard, so that it could dry out between workouts. She scoured retailers for the perfect bag, and when she couldn't find it, she decided to make her own.
Using her daughter's sewing machine, she started designing the very first concept for the patent-pending sports utility bag, Hang-Fold-Go, and that’s when Melissa’s Harvard Business School classmate Katie Duffin got on board. Katie, a former collegiate softball player and long time sales and supply chain leader, immediately saw the utility in the design for other sports, fitness and the wellness industry. They both left their full time jobs and with this, FITKYT’s journey began.

FAQ's
What is the story behind Hang-Fold-Go?
It started in 2019, when Melissa found herself turning to exercise to calm her mind, relieve anxiety and stress. Recreational swimming became Melissa’s outlet. Most urgently, she needed a workout bag where she could leave her goggles, ear plugs, swim cap, flip-flops, toiletries and kick board, without having to pack and unpack everything. But it didn’t stop there. The perfect bag had to be versatile for using in the showers and stowing in a gym locker. And at home, it had to hang easily on a clothesline, a door or a cupboard, so that it could dry out between workouts. She scoured retailers for the perfect bag, and when she couldn't find it, she decided to make her own.
Using her daughter's sewing machine, she started designing the very first concept for the patent-pending sports utility bag, Hang-Fold-Go, and that’s when Melissa’s Harvard Business School classmate Katie Duffin got on board. Katie, a former collegiate softball player and longtime sales and supply chain leader, immediately saw the utility in the design for other sports, fitness and the wellness industry. They both left their full time jobs and with this, FITKYT’s journey began.
What types of sport is it suitable for?
The bag was originally designed by swimmers for swimmers, who have to contend with chlorinated water, soggy suits and towels along with kick boards, googles and flippers. On top of this, having to wash and change in small cubicles with limited bench space. What we found was that the bag is super versatile among many different sports, including gym, beach, tennis, yoga, pretty much any sport. It has also been tested and used for caravaning and in camp ground showers, wherever you need to use a locker or change room before or after, this bag is life changing!
No matter if you are a gym goer, a yogi, wellness seeker, swimmer, runner, camper, surfer, golfer, play tennis, baseball, softball, basketball, or travelling, you are going to love this bag. Its uniqueness is being able to ‘’hang-fold-go’’. You can hang in a locker, over a cubicle door, a cupboard or clothes line. Everything that you need for your health and wellness lifestyle can be contained in this bag, with ample space for wet and dry storage.
If you:
Dislike the gym change rooms
Your dry items get wet when using the locker room showers
Dislike having your clothes or bag, touching the ground or benches
You always seem to forget something
Your bag is disorganized
You can never seem to find what you want when you need it
You do not like unpacking your bag
Then the FITKYT Hang Fold Go is for you.

3lbs
Is the bag waterproof?
The bag is made of water repellent materials which have a polyurethane backing. The mesh pockets have been placed where water and air can flow through easily. For extra protection for your valuables or to place your super wet gear in, we suggest using a waterproof wet bag. You can use the carabiner clips or place into any one of the 7 pockets. Our aim is to provide a FITKYT wet bag / shoe bag with the FITKYT Hang-Fold-Go.
Does it have protection for a laptop / electronics?
The small exterior pocket is lockable and is double lined with a RFID blocking technology, as well as a 400D nylon with a polyurethane backing. This pocket is perfect for your mobile phone, small electronics and wallets. Please note that the bag is sewn, therefore, it does have holes where the needle and thread go through. So it is not considered waterproof but it is pretty darn close!. If you require 100% waterproof protection we suggest using a waterproof wet bag.
Does it have dedicated wet compartments?
The top interior pocket has a polyurethane coating so it can hold moist or damp items. However given the zipper and bag are sewn, it is not considered 100% waterproof. The mesh pockets in the bag are designed to allow your wet items to air dry, if you wish.

Can you explain the inside of the bag?
The Middle Layer:
This layer has been designed for all of your toiletry requirements. Shampoo, soaps, make-up, hair brush, etc. This is where this bag comes into it’s own. When you are changing in a locker room it doesn’t matter if the items are wet or you put them back in wet as the mesh pocket allows for the water to go through and drip out the bottom.
The Bottom Layer:
This is one large mesh pocket. This pocket is ideal for putting in any of your wet items after changing. The mesh is breathable and also allows for water to run through. Your towel after a workout can go into this pocket, your shoes, your swimmers, etc. A laundry, wet bag or shoe bag would be a perfect addition for this bottom layer, we aim to provide these accessories for the FITKYT Hang Fold Go.
Folding your Bag:
Use the black bottom handle to fold the bottom layer onto the middle layer (male to female velcro), this is to ensure the bag holds its shape.
Use the top two handles to meet each other where the male and female zipper is. Put the zipper ends together and use the pull cord to close the bag.
