Whether you’re placing healthy vending machines throughout the Port of Brunswick’s logistics facilities, outfitting FLETC training centers with nutritious options, or servicing the seasonal tourism workforce along the Jekyll Island causeway, FitPick® delivers a straightforward approach to wellness.

Fit Pick® uses eye-catching stickers and prominent clings to mark vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making healthier choices immediately visible to port workers, federal trainees, and coastal visitors navigating the Downtown Brunswick and Dock District areas. The detailed stickers provide transparent insights into Fit Pick™ nutritional standards so that employees working shift schedules at Southeast Georgia Health System facilities or passing through the Norwich Street corridor can make informed decisions quickly.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines tailored to diverse workforces. The most popular adult criteria is the 35-10-35 standard (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar), which aligns well with the active, on-the-move lifestyles of Brunswick’s federal trainees and port employees. Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines, supporting wellness initiatives across manufacturing, hospitality, and service sector operations throughout Glynn County.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling office and facility managers throughout Brunswick—from the Altama Avenue corridor to the Golden Isles Gateway—to implement the same program seamlessly regardless of tenant turnover or seasonal staffing changes.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering the diverse Brunswick workforce—including transient federal trainees, healthcare professionals, retail staff, and seasonal tourism workers—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Brunswick by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the unique needs of Georgia’s port logistics hub. From federal law enforcement trainees rotating through FLETC to port workers managing demanding shift schedules along the Dock District, our community demands convenient, nutritious fuel—not just quick calories. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, the professionals driving Brunswick’s economy and the seasonal tourism workforce moving through our Golden Isles Gateway require healthier options that sustain energy throughout their workdays. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations—particularly among the stipend-based federal trainees and healthcare professionals at Southeast Georgia Health System—has inspired us to offer tailored solutions. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that keep our workforce performing at their best.

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

  1. Regular Snacking: For port workers managing long shifts at the Port of Brunswick and federal trainees cycling through FLETC, consistent snacking throughout the day keeps energy levels stable and focus sharp.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Choose cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber—ideal for dock district employees and service industry staff who need sustained fullness between shifts.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-shift cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips, perfect for break rooms along the Norwich Street corridor and Altama Avenue commercial zones.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads from healthy vending machines provide convenience and nutrition for healthcare workers at Southeast Georgia Health System and busy professionals throughout Downtown Brunswick and the Golden Isles Gateway area.
  5. Protein and Calcium: Low-fat milk and yogurt options offer quick protein boosts for rotating federal trainees and seasonal tourism employees who need portable nutrition.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy occasional sweets without overdoing it—a balanced approach works well for year-round residents and the transient workforce Brunswick attracts.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, and graham crackers are lower-fat options that pair well with low-fat milk, convenient for break rooms across the Glynn Place area and New Street commercial zone.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: A pack of peanuts, almonds, or mixed nuts provides protein and fiber in a single serving—ideal for manufacturing and hospitality workers managing demanding schedules.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Thirst often masks hunger; keeping water accessible throughout your workday—especially important in Brunswick’s warm climate for outdoor port and shipping industry workers—prevents unnecessary overeating.
  10. Balanced Snacking: For Brunswick’s diverse workforce—from FLETC trainees to healthcare professionals to seafood processing employees—variety, balance, and moderation in snacking choices support sustained performance and wellness.
