Fitmax

Fitmax was founded in 2007 when I was inspired to try and create a product that would help the elderly improve their mobility, health, and well being. Having moved to the United States from Taiwan over thirty years ago I saw many of my friends and mentors who supported me through this difficult transition suffer from a variety of health issues such... as osteoarthritis and heart disease later in life. I wanted to help them as well as give back to the country that made my American Dream come true. I knew that swimming was a low intensity, effective solution for fitness that also utilized all the muscles of the body at once. Unfortunately, I saw that traditional pools often cost a very significant amount to install and required large backyards. People would save for years, even a decade, and still be unable to purchase their own swimming pool. I spent four years designing a product that would let people swim in their homes for a fraction of the traditional cost. I moved away from expensive motor jet streams and costly installation requirements. I worked closely with engineers to design an above ground pool that was sturdy enough to last for years, did not take up much space, and was even portable. At last, I created the smallest true swimming pool in the world, the Fitmax iPool. Not only could people finally realize their dream of swimming at home, but the cost of the pool was so affordable it amounted roughly to the cost of the crane for installing a typical swimming pool. We made the pool frame square instead of a circle to save more space so people could fit the pool in their garage or even their basement. Since water distributes pressure uniformly we had to make our pools stronger to handle the stress distribution. This is why our iPools use construction quality galvanized steel and a liner that is reinforced up to five layers. Our liners are also made out of a polyester mesh river rafting material, used as the bottom for artificial lakes as well. In my pursuit to deliver top quality at a price point ...Read More
