Whether you’re outfitting a vending machine at Augusta University Medical Center, supporting the healthcare workforce across Summerville’s clinic corridors, or placing healthy snacking options near Fort Eisenhower’s base entrances where military personnel seek quick nutrition between shifts, FitPick® delivers a seamless branded experience that resonates with Augusta’s health-conscious professionals.

Fit Pick® uses distinctive stickers to identify vending machine slots stocked with Fit Pick® approved snacks—a visual system that works especially well in high-traffic environments like the Cyber Innovation and Training Center and medical facilities where employees and visitors need immediate clarity on their choices. More comprehensive clings and detailed stickers communicate the full Fit Pick™ nutritional framework to ensure informed decisions.

Fit Pick® employs two recognized nutritional labeling tiers.

Fit Pick® also certifies products meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines for organizations prioritizing stricter nutrition benchmarks.

Fit Pick®’s uniform labeling system is trusted across communities, counties, and states nationwide, allowing healthcare networks, military installations, and corporate offices throughout Augusta and the surrounding regions to operate the same consistent program across multiple locations.

Our mission is to deliver straightforward, actionable nutritional information right at the vending machine, enabling Augusta’s workforce—from medical professionals to cybersecurity experts to shift workers—to confidently select snacks that support their health goals using clear, evidence-based “better for you” standards.

Health & Wellness Program

While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, there’s a rising demand for healthier options among Augusta’s health-focused employers and their teams. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically designed for the medical, defense, and tech sectors that drive our regional economy.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: Whether you’re stationed at Fort Eisenhower, working a shift at Augusta University Medical Center, or managing a busy day in the Summerville business district, refuel your body with snacks several times throughout the day to maintain steady energy and focus.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Healthcare professionals and military personnel on extended shifts benefit from cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness that sustains through demanding workdays.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-day cravings during your lunch break downtown or between patient rounds with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips available from workplace vending machines.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Cybersecurity professionals and healthcare workers across the Washington Road Corridor and National Hills can grab pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste when time is limited.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost during your workday in manufacturing or medical environments, grab low-fat milk or yogurt to support sustained energy and wellness.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out, especially during the high-stress periods of annual events like The Masters Tournament when visitors and locals alike need quick nutritional boosts.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that pair well with low-fat milk for added protein—ideal for break rooms throughout downtown Augusta and medical campuses.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts from office vending machines for a blend of protein and fiber that sustains Fort Eisenhower personnel and industrial workers through demanding shifts.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand—especially important for the healthcare workforce managing patient care across multiple Augusta medical facilities.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking, whether you’re navigating the bustling Gordon Highway corridor or working in the growing Cyber Innovation and Training Center.
