Aquabilt launches first LOW IMPACT/HIGH INTENSITY underwater treadmill for consumers
Canton, CT (August 14, 2007) – Aquabilt announces the launch of the revolutionary underwater incline treadmill. Traditionally only available for professional use, the Aquabilt Underwater Treadmill is now available to the consumer market with more features at an affordable price. With aquatic exercise being one of the fastest growing segments in the fitness market, Aquabilt fills an important void for consumers. In a study by the Sporting Goods Manufacturing Association, over 60% of the U.S. population plays or exercises in the water, and this number continues to grow significantly each year.
“Aquatic exercise will continue to grow in popularity because we are a society that is gravitating to low impact activities. The long term trend for aquatic activities is on the upswing because of our aging population and because water is fun. There will be a significant increase in aquatic fitness over the next decade.” (Mike May, SGMA spokesman)
The Aquabilt Underwater Treadmill transforms underused pools into home gyms, providing a unique, low impact/high intensity workout that is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. The Aquabilt Underwater Treadmill offers exciting benefits for consumers including:
- Great overall cardio-vascular workout
- Low impact
- Improves strength
- Burns more calories in less time

- Versatile – Run, Walk, Backwards, Resistance Moves

The Aquabilt Underwater Treadmill can be used in any in-ground or above-ground pool with a water level up to the mid-chest. It is lightweight, uses no motorized equipment and can stay in the pool year round or store conveniently in a closet. Different from traditional treadmills, the Aquabilt Underwater Treadmill is maintenance free due to its robust, motor-less design. It is made from high quality materials selected specifically to withstand being outdoors and submerged in pool water without rusting or deteriorating.
With over 8 million residential pools in the United States, the market is big for this innovative product. Plus everyone at all fitness and health levels can benefit from using the Aquabilt Underwater Treadmill including:

“I have always been an avid runner, but over the years the constant wear and tear has forced me to cut back on it. The Aquabilt lets me log in the miles and participate in something I really love without the high impact on my joints. Plus I can get the same workout on the Aquabilt in 20 minutes that traditionally took almost an hour on land. I couldn’t live without my Aquabilt treadmill,” says Dennis Custage, Aquabilt customer. The Aquabilt retails for $1,799 and comes equipped with a waterproof Polar heart rate monitor that tracks your time and heart rate and allows you to customize your workout.
