Lawrence,

I purchased my ipool about three months ago. As a former runner who now has a bad knee, I turned to swimming for exercise. The ipool is ideal for a swim workout. It has also proved to be a great place to teach my four year old grandson to not fear the water and learn how to swim.

Your service and follow up on any question or need I have had has been wonderful. I look forward to many years of using the ipool.

Hello:

Thank you for your iPool inquiry. I enjoy swimming as a work out modality. However, I do not have the time to go to an athletic club. I did extensive research on workout pools. I saw the endless pools advertised in SKY MALL on a flight. I was interested until I found the iPool web site. I know individuals with the endless pools who are satisfied. I became interested in the iPool because of the price. It is much cheaper than the Endless pool.

I love my iPool. I have used it daily since July with the exception of the previous week because of the temperature. I was somewhat skeptical before buying the pool. However, after talking to Lawrence, I trusted the FitMax company. I purchased the pool and the heater. I have not attached the heater yet. Until I do so, it would be too cold for you to try out.

The pool came to my house unassembled. I elected to put it in my garage as I do not have a basement. I was shocked to discover that all of the parts fit precisely. The liner is sturdy. The filter is adequate. The filter uses minimal electricity. Chemical costs are minimal. I essentially put the pool together myself. The most important aspect to me was the easy access to Lawrence. He is professional and always helpful.. I had some difficulty trying to assemble the ladder. I contacted Lawrence. That day I received email pictures that showed me how to finish the ladder assembly.

The heater requires a 220 outlet. My electrician needs to install the outlet so that I can run the heater. Once this is done, I will be back in my iPool daily. The quality of this pool is as good as the Bowflex but with better customer support. I am sold on the iPool as well as the FitMax company. I highly recommend this pool.

I am planning on getting the therapy pools as well to set up an aquatic therapy rehabilitation center. I want to set it up in a physical therapy department.

I will let you know when the heater is set up. I can promise you that the iPool is one of the best health investments that you can make.

Hello,

I am interested in the ipool and Lawrence was kind enough to give me your contact info. I am in Memphis and you appear to be the closest clients. I would like to try it out and Lawrence stated that you may agree to allow me to do so. I am also curious about you experience with the ipool..

Please let me know if this is an option.

Thanks for considering this request.

Hello Lawrence,

We are sorry it has taken us awhile to write this to you - I think we've been having too much fun in the iPool!!

We wanted to write to thank you for the superb Customer Service you have provided in support of this wonderful product.

This is our 2nd year of use of the iPool and everything is better as we learn more and more of the ease to assemble and care for the pool and it's accessories. We are both in our 60's and are able to enjoy the pool several times daily, ourselves, and have introduced the grandchildren (aged 4 and 3) to the iPool - of course with close supervision.

We never hesitate to recommend the iPool to friends, neighbors, and passers-by who are attracted by the colorful and most useful umbrella. Southern Arizona sun can be brutal!

So, thank you again, Lawrence for your helpfulness. And good luck for a prosperous business.

Regards,

Hi Lawrence,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

We love our ipool. You were right, it took a long time to gently heat the pool. We started with a water temp of 55 F. and then after 8 hours it was up to 72 F. We like to keep it at 90 F. so that it is nice and warm and relaxing to swim or exercise in.

We live in NW PA and set it up in our basement so we can enjoy it all year long. We can swim any day and at any time. It is wonderful! Our friends are all surprised when we tell them that we have a pool in our basement. I think we may start a trend!

Thanks so much,
Gale and Joyce

Dear Lawrence,

I love your pool! It is a perfect "Fit" for me. I have Multiple Sclerosis and am extremely heat sensitive. The only exercise I can do and keep my and keep my body temperature down is swim. I used to get my swim in at the gym, but I'm currently not driving and the gym is not so easy to get to. Your pool is exactly what I need. Thank you so much for putting such a useful, affordable, and pleasing product on the market.

I'm in sunny Ft Lauderdale Florida, so I pretty much use it year round. If I ever move, the pool comes with me...That's a plus!

Thanks again Lawrence,

Lawrence,
I really don't know where to begin, I enjoy my ipool so much and the health benefits are so great that I guess I will start with this...

I am a hairdresser in NC and I wanted to be able to swim all year round, not just in the summer, because it makes my whole body feel so good after standing and doing hair for long hours. I broke my back about 3 years ago so my excercising became limited, becouse it would always hurt...Aerobics is totally out of the question for me now, but with my ipool I swim everyday and my back has become stronger and with that I feel 100 percent again.

I get wonderful excercise with my ipool and then I get to just relax in the water afterwards. Thank You so much for this product and for the wonderful service that you have shown me. Rick has been wonderful to help with any questions, and getting my filter right, and giving me tips on how to keep my pool clean and ready for a swim everyday. Thank You Guys.

Here are some pics of how we made my swimming room...I still look forward to decorating more like a tropical paradise, but right now you can't get me out of the pool long enough hahaha.

Thanks again
Dawn

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,

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

Dear Lawrence, I've been using the i-pool for a week now and it is more than I anticipated it would be!! If you need a very positive reference for the pool, you can have prospectice customers call me at (480) 981-6799. I really love it! Thank you, and I hope you remain in business for a long time!

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.

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
