Please see what our customers say about the iPool:

Mr. Chang,

I recently purchased an Ipool as I found it to be an affordable alternative to the more expensive pools currently on the market. I must admit that I was a little skeptical as to whether the Ipool would live up to all of the reviews.

I purchased the Ipool specifically for triathlon training. My weakest event has been swimming and it often takes far too much time to travel to the pool and travel back. My main focus for purchasing the Ipool was to increase my swimming capabilities. I had the Ipool for only a couple weeks and saw incredible improvements during my last triathlon swim. I look forward to seeing dramatic improvements with more training.

I would like to let potential customers know that this product really does do what you say. It is an awesome product!

Thank you,
Jason Jarvie

Dear Mr. Chang,

Your pool has truly helped to transform my life. Since using it, I have lost 20 pounds and my overall fitness has noticeably improved. Since I am a heavy person, swimming is the only exercise that does not aggravate my back and joints, and without your affordable iPool, I would not be able to swim. I have also been very pleased by how responsive you have been to my questions. You always answer right away and always make things right.

Thank you for such a wonderful product!

Best of luck to you and your venture,

Hi Lawrence,
We absolutely love our iPool. The pool is perfect for exercise and for just cooling off on a hot day. We wanted a pool but we didn’t want to re-landscape our backyard. The iPool fit perfectly on the side of our house. It was exactly what I was looking for. Pictures attached.

Thank you,
Valli

Hi Lawrence!
Well, I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying my IPOOL. The pool has provided me with the perfect solution for my needs. I think it is vitally important to get regular exercise for health and well being. I work fulltime as a nurse practitioner putting in very long hours. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to come home this summer after work and have the IPOOL there providing an easy opportunity to simply swim away the stress of my day and fulfilling my body's need for a perfect workout.

I never wanted a built in pool in my yard, but yet I love swimming as a part of my workout. In the past, during the summer I belonged to a lovely swim club, but between the time it took to get there, plus the other people that would be in my way, etc... the IPOOL is the perfect answer. It is so nice to be able to swim carefree, without having to worry about other people, turning around at the walls, etc. I swim with googles all the time but sometimes it is just nice to close my eyes and zone out as I swim. I am so happy with the way things have turned out.

Sometimes, when I am finished my swim, I flip over in the belt and just float on my back and relax for a bit. When I first opened the box, I was a bit overwhelmed with what appeared to be a lot of parts, but I was able to put the pool together by myself (I should tell you that I am 51 yrs old, 5'3, 115lb) although I think I will definitely have my husband help me the next time I put it together.

It was simple to fill with a garden hose, the filter was easy to attach and I have been swimming everyday since! I just ordered the umbrella which went together easily, and looks great on the pool.

Also, I wanted to thank you and the other members of your company, especially Rick, for being available, kind and very helpful when I called. Your company has been a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend your product! As the weather gets cooler come fall, I am going to take the pool from the yard and put it up in our basement and use it inside until summer comes around again.

Thanks so much for everything.

Camarillo, CA 93012

Dear Mr. Chang,

I have been meaning for some time to express my continuing satisfaction with our iPool.

As you probably recall, after reading about the iPool on your website, and watching your video, I decided to check it out for myself. Since I live in Southern California I decided to see it “live” at your Camarillo facility. The two-hour drive was well worth it--especially as I got to swim in the pool that’s set up in your warehouse. That test swim convinced me right away.

I drove home with the iPool kit in my Subaru Outback. The next weekend it went up, without any problems. (Actually did it by myself, though it would probably go faster with two people.)

The iPool supplies about the only worthwhile exercise I get—jumping in almost every day after work. I’ve missed it during the couple months of our winter weather, but now that it’s warming up, I’m eager to go it again.

You and your friendly staff have been extremely helpful throughout. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the iPool has lived up to all my expectations. I congratulate you on this fine product and your helpful staff.

Best regards,

Cliff Silver

Hi Lawrence,

Thank you for your quick response. The filter is working perfectly. My wife and I love the iPool, and use it almost every day. It is one of the best investments we have ever made. We have been telling all our friends and family about it. The service was excellent and we received the iPool very quickly. The iPool is a great workout and the harness does not interfere with swimming what so ever, It really is a fantastic product.

Sincerly,

JP and Iris

Hi Lawrence,

I wanted to let you know how much we love your product and how much we appreciate your company.

The pool is great and now that we ordered the heater we can swim all year long.

Compared to spending 15k to 20k for a fitness pool I feel as though we dodged a high priced bullet.

You and you company have gone above and beyond the call of duty not only helping me with questions and support but you have called me at least 3 times just to make sure everything was alright. That is the epitome of Quality Assurance.

I have experimented with different ways to exercise in the Ipool and I wanted to share my experience. I like to use fins and a scuba mask w/attached snorkel. The fins provide excellent resistance training working the quads lower back and hip-flexers. And the snorkel allows excellent breathing for Cardio respitory fitness and safety.

Feel free to use any part of this endoresment.

Thanks,
Scott Swanson and Trang Cao

This is just a quick report on the iPool we bought last spring. It is presently set up in our basement and I am swimming about 5 days a week, minimum of 30 min each and that is constant “serious” swimming. The convenience is awesome. We had it in the garage before that but we have cold winters here in Ohio. I was afraid the humidity would be a problem but it doesn’t seem to be because the pool cover appears to be doing a good job. Next summer we may have to use a dehumidifier. We also wrapped the pool in insulation as well as insulation under it to help with saving on heating costs. Another modification was stabilizing the ladder better. I’m pretty big and it feels safer. Since getting the pool I’ve lost about 40 pounds, lowered my blood pressure, decreased the pain of my fibermyalgia and osteoarthritis of my knee. I’m loving the pool.

Darrell will be emailing some pictures soon.

My experience with iPool by Fit Max. (11/17/2007 at AQUA Show in Las Vegas)

I had a great time as a demonstrator for iPool by Fit Max at the Aqua Show at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV.

I think the idea behind the iPool is fantastic. An above-ground pool is taken to the next level: real exercise instead if just splashing around. The great thing about it is that you can practice the full range of swimming moves in full intensity without moving away from your spot, which allows to keep the pool small in size without compromising the freedom of motion.

The “harness”, which consists of metal arched beams, bungee cables and a belt, provide the necessary resistance. You can control the resistance by changing the position of the cables’ positions on the arched beam. AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.

After the first day, I felt that my muscles had been working! Even though I am a pretty fit person, I was a little sore and felt tightening in some muscles which I usually don’t work at the gym.

Later in the show, after familiarizing myself with iPool a little more, I wanted to explore other possibilities with this equipment. I discovered that not only you can practice all your styles of swimming in the iPool; you can also isolate your arm workout, using the far wall, pulling yourself to it, working against cables’ resistance. You can also work your legs, using the closest wall. I even tried to do aqua aerobics which turned into great fun!!! The simple steps from an aerobic routine (which are so easy to do on the floor) require a lot more work in the water, training every muscle in your legs, while letting you keep up your arm movements to maintain the “cardio” regime. And after a few minutes of that you can go right back to swimming….or just chill. Turn the belt around and relax on your back, letting the water and cables keep you comfortably afloat, and you can close your eyes and “turn” the world off for a bit.

Thanks to very well balanced ladder, it’s very easy and safe to get in and out of the iPool. Each step is designed as an actual mini step, as oppose to a just metal bar, big enough to feel safe, but so big that makes the ladder bulky. Plus, if necessary, the ladder can be temporarily removed for (children’s’) safety.

Fully adjustable belt will properly fit a person of any size. We were able to perfectly adjust it for a fairly small person like myself, so it didn’t slide on my body. Having spent quite a long time in the iPool demonstrating all it’s possibilities and being very active, I must say that the belt is very well padded and sized, and doesn’t cause any discomfort even after long hours of exercising.

The filtration system keeps water crystal clear and inviting. In addition to all that, there is an optional heater which I had the pleasure of experiencing. You can adjust your iPool's temperature to your own comfort level, which could be crucial for the amount of exercise you are getting, because, let’s face it: sometimes just a thought of the water being too cold can keep us away from the pool and from exercising.

Overall it’s a great product, for exercise and fun.

After experiencing it on my own body I can say that exercising in the iPool is more effective than your typical maintenance workout at the gym and definitely a great addition your regular exercise regime, if you already have one.

Whatever size or fitness level you are, iPool will fit you and “work” with you.

Whatever your goals are, be it working on your stroke, leg technique, endurance, or just relaxation, you will benefit from using iPool.

AND IT’S SURPRISINGLY AFFORDABLE!!!

I am very glad that I got to demonstrate iPool at the Aqua Show 2007 at Mandalay Bay. I was able to exercise and it was a welcome addition to my usual routine. I had a lot of fun and met some of the wonderful people behind the iPool and the Aqua Show.

This is Carolyn again (the one getting the heater). I just wanted to write a letter of praise for you to put on your Ebay listing:

The Ipool is a great invention! What a fantastic concept to be able to swim anytime of the year. I have dealt with Lawrence on the phone, and what a GREAT guy to buy an Ipool from! He is so kind and accmodating. I understand heaters are now availabe for the Ipool, and I am on the list to get one! Thanks Larry, you are on the ball!

You have given me back my life with the ipool. I have been able to now fit daily swimming back into my routine. My routine is rigorous and demanding and sedentary. I walk everyday but that is not enough exercise. The ipool has given me exactly what I need. It is a private little heaven.

I have put a solar blanket on it and it is nice and warm each day. I have also hooked up solar panels but these do not seem necesary the blanket warms it sufficiently. The pool is easy to regulate and keep clean.

I am looking forward to your advancements with this product and I formally request that you send me updates as you add items to your product list.

I have already encouraged over 15 people to look into the purchase of one of the pools

Thank you
