AquaBells Story
Scott Silverman, of El Dorado Hills California, came up with this innovative idea in 1991 while vacationing with his family at Lake Tahoe, Calif. "My mother, after a cancer recovery, was using dumbbells in her workouts. On this trip she did not have her own because she did not like carrying all that extra weight through the airport, so she improvised using soup cans as dumbbells. That's what triggered my idea, to come up with a very portable, inflatable free-weight system you can take with you when traveling. I wanted them to be super light weight so that you can carry them right to your gate and also be totally collapsible so they would take up very little room in your travel bag!"
AquaBells Dumbbells were developed to include eight water chambers, four per dumbbell, that weigh only 24 ounces when collapsed. When the AquaBells are inflated, they provide up to 32 pounds of weight training resistance! Simply fill the water chambers with water to achieve the desired resistance and attach them to the comfortable soft cushioned grips and in minutes they're ready to use. With all four weights filled and attached to the handgrip bar each dumbbell weighs up to16 pounds! When your ready to go just deflate your AquaBells and they are ready to travel again!
With AquaBells Ankle Weights you just fill with water, attach them with the Velcro straps around your ankles and your ready for exercise, or walking, to provide the lower body with up to 8 lbs. of resistance training. When you are ready to go simply release the water to deflate and your AquaBells Ankle Weights are ready to travel again! They are so compact they can fit into a fanny pack. Each pair is adjustable up to 8 lbs. and weighs only 8 oz. when deflated.
AquaBells have many other advantages. They are quiet and will not disturb family members, roommates, or co-workers. In addition AquaBells are soft so there is no danger of damaging floors or furniture. AquaBells are constructed of high tech polymers, so you will enjoy years of service. When inflated with air only, Aqua-Bells also function as a great water resistance exercise program when used in swimming pools. AquaBells are the perfect travel companion, and are also great for use in your home and office.
