When is Buying Organic a MUST?

July 28, 2015 1 min read

  It’s pretty scary what is being sprayed on our food supply. 60% of herbicides, 90% of fungicides and 30% of insecticides known to be carcinogenic (cancer–causing). Studies are now finding pesticides in the urine of our children, but much less in children who consume organic produce.   It is important to buy organic food because it is:
  • a safer option for you and your family
  • grown without chemicals or genetic engineering (GMO)
  • more sustainable farming process
  • better for the environment
  • safer for farm workers
  • more nutritious
  • the way nature intended
  • much better tasting
Sometimes buying 100% organic is unreasonable. It can be a lot more expensive and hard to get depending on what is available where you live. The Environmental Working Group has come up with this amazing resource to help consumers shop smart! It shows you which foods are safest to buy non-organic and which foods is most important to pay the extra few dollars for. The Dirty Dozen (Most heavily sprayed):
  1. Apples
  2. Celery
  3. Cherry tomatoes
  4. Cucumbers
  5. Grapes
  6. Hot peppers
  7. Nectarines (imported)
  8. Peaches
  9. Potatoes
  10. Spinach
  11. Strawberries
  12. Sweet bell peppers
  13. Dirty Dozen Plus: Kale/collard greens and Summer squash
The Clean Fifteen (Safer to buy non-organic):
  1. Asparagus
  2. Avocados
  3. Cabbage
  4. Cantaloupe
  5. Sweet corn (make sure it says non-GMO)
  6. Eggplant
  7. Grapefruit
  8. Kiwi
  9. Mangoes
  10. Mushrooms
  11. Onions
  12. Papayas (make sure it says non-GMO)
  13. Pineapples
  14. Sweet peas (frozen)
  15. Sweet potatoes
Take away message: So do your best to buy as much organic produce as you can afford and use resources like Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen to prioritize the rest!

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. While health and wellness companies are essential services, there is simply an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as individuals and hospitals need more supplies than ever before. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-5 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. You will receive the tools you need to stay safe and strong at home through this difficult time. Thanks for your support and understanding.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping with our partners at UPS. Once your order is received and processed, it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse. That’s our commitment and we stand by it.

We ship within Canada and the United States via UPS with Standard & Expedited shipping (whichever is faster)

For locations outside of the US and Canada, we ship using FedEx International (EUROPE and Other Nations), which is usually in transit for 7-10 business days, depending on location.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Delays caused due to custom withholds are not included in these estimated delivery times.

Returns & Exchanges

BodyRock Equipment

We offer a 30-day return policy, as long as: it is not more than 30 days past the date of delivery; and your item is in its original condition and packaging with the original order number. Refunds will be issued when the equipment is received back to the BodyRock warehouse, minus the original cost of shipping, and the customer is responsible for the costs of return shipping. To request a refund on physical product purchases, please contact us.

Digital Products

We cannot issue refunds on digital goods such as e-books or videos, as these are non-tangible goods that are irrevocable once the order is placed.

Clothing

All of the BodyRock clothing is made to order and so is final sale. If you have any questions about sizing prior to placing your order, please contact us.
