"My name is Doug Jost, and I am a 39 year old Canadian Naval Officer stationed in Quebec City, Quebec Canada. I received my new 50lb short Weightvest about 2 weeks ago, and have just started to use it. Here I am in action in our gym. Bar none, this is one of the highest quality pieces of athletic gear that I have ever seen, let alone used! It's early days now, but I can see myself 6 months down the road well on my way toward achieving my athletic goals through continued use of this vest. (40 is coming up soon, and I want to look good in that red sports car that one gets when achieving this age.)
I look forward to sending you further updates on my progress as time goes by.
Thanks again for the terrific product!"
Sincerely, Doug Jost Quebec, Canada

Dear Jeff,
I work with special education children and some children with autism wear weighted vests to assist them with their comfort level and sensitivity. Seeing this presented me the idea of using the vest for personal fitness as I never had experience with using one before. Shortly afterwards, I discovered that my co-worker and good friend Justin used a 22 lb Ringside Weighted Vest to jog. One day I went jogging with him (he wore a vest and I did not) and found that I was unable to keep up with him despite not having any additional encumbrance.

Feeling disappointed at my level of endurance, I decided to take action to start a exercise routine to improve my life. At first, I borrowed Justin's Ringside weighted vest for jogging and it worked fine however it was bulky and didn't fit as comfortable as I wished. I also used a rough homemade vest using a heavy duty cotton flak vest and inserting small metal dumbbell weights into the pockets. This also worked fine but only up to a limit as the balance and feel were also inadequate. After a few weeks of using both vests I felt that I wanted a better product. I did a search online and found the V-Max website. I thoroughly reviewed and critiqued the information presented and felt no need to look further. The testimonials, clear photos, and well written descriptions were enough to persuade me in making a purchase (after a friendly discussion with the Mrs. aka The Boss!).
I decided to purchased the 50 lb short weighted vest and it greatly assisted me in my exercise routines. I am impressed with the high quality and the overall feel of this fine item. It is exactly as advertised on the website by Jeff. Normally, I use 30 lbs to jog and the full 50 lbs to walk. I felt the positive effects immediately as the vest truly maximizes my workouts. I have also incorporated the various exercises presented in the color diagram that came with the vest. By utilizing these exercises I have lost 25 lbs to date and noticed a significant increase in stamina. The walking and jogging alone has conditioned my legs, shoulders, and some back muscles without any additional exercises. Without a doubt this is one of the absolute best passive workout pieces of equipment to augment fitness levels. I highly recommend this outstanding product to anybody looking to gradually improve the quality of their health,(2 thumbs up).
Thanks for your time and please enjoy the holiday weekend.
Sincerely,
Franklin Teng

"My new vest is absolutely wonderful!
I am 58 years of age and in decent shape. I was with the 2/5 Cav in Southeast Asia back in the days (?). My adopted son Foster Lee Harrington was a Sgt with the 3rd Re con Company of the 4th Marines. He was killed in action on the 20th of September 2004. He and I always tried to work out as hard as we were able. After his funeral, I made a promise to him that I would do all my workouts and running with my pack on. I have been running with 47 pounds of water in a Camel back Mother Lode Pack but it was not balanced by any means. I had to buy several "unbottles" to fill the pack the way it needed to be and then I ran across your advertisement in Backpacker magazine. Best purchase I have made in recent years. But I will tell you, it is HOT here in south Florida! People think I am crazy but my son is now on constant watch from above and it makes me so proud to be able to keep that silent promise."
Sincerely yours,
David R. Paz

"Hello everyone out there! My name is Walter Small and I want to share my story of how the weight vest allowed me to play basketball again. I was a former athlete who went from 215 pounds to 160 pounds as a result of Lupus Disease. I used my vest to power walk to keep the impact low on my knees while building my stamina. Soon I gained strength which has allowed me to dunk on opponents like I used to when I played competitively. My Weight Vest allows me to throw down thunderous dunks.
Thank you weight vest for giving me back my strength."
Sincerely,
Walter Small

"I am currently in the Navy assigned to Guam. This past summer while deployed to Haiti with the Marine Corps I would walk one hour each day using our bullet proof vest using SAPI titanium plates weighing approx 22 lbs. Upon my return I ordered the V-Max vest to continue my power walks. In the short 6 weeks of using the 40lb V-Max vest I have lost 8lbs. I walk each day for 1 hour usually averaging about 3 miles per walk. The V-Max is constructed very well and easy to use. The beauty of this style vest is that you can start out with 5 to 10lbs and quickly work up to the 40lb level. I am getting ready to give my wife this vest and will soon order the 75lb vest.
Thanks so much for your great product."

"I bought the 100 pound weight vest and it's great. In only a short month I have more than doubled my strength and speed. If you're creative enough you can workout the whole body with it.
Thanks V-Max!"

"Dear Jeff,
Received my WeightVest in December and have been training with it 4-5 days a week. Here I am snowshoeing in 14 inches of snow with 40 pounds of weight. Talk about a burn in the calves. Bought the weightvest mainly to train for backpacking trips to save the wear and tear on my backpacks and it has worked out great. Snowshoeing was an after thought and it is a great training method. Thanks for a great product that is superbly built and the design is exactly what I was looking for. Even a 55 year old man can wear this vest comfortably while training. Thanks again for a great product."

"Thank you V-Max,
I love my new Weight Vest. The vest is just what I was looking for. I looked at a few other vests, but they were too long for my use. The reason I ordered your vest is for Jogging and it works perfect. It's a short vest and it doesn't ride on my "fat" stomach which I'm trying to lose. It also fits comfortable. I would love to wear one of your tee shirts with my new vest. (hint) XXL Thanks again V-Max."

"My name is Steven Rosenblum. I live in Philadelphia since the birth of my son I have gained around 100 lbs. I have been dieting and working out (running & weights). And with all that working out I lost 40 lbs and running became much easier. So I decided I needed a weight vest to make running more difficult. I loved the resistance the vest provided for me. I have used it for the last 2 weeks and my running has improved and so has my back. I broke my back 3yrs ago and it gives me trouble when I hold my son. Since I have been using the vest during my workouts it has made my son feel a lot lighter on my back. My son is 1yrs old on May 7th he weighs 29 lbs. Any way I love this vest and would recommend it to anyone who runs."
Thanks, Steven Rosenblum

"Great Product so far! I received my V-Max Weight Vest on time and began using it right away. I currently follow the training program that was included In the box with the vest. I look forward to using the training programs you promise to post on your website @ www.weightvest.com as mentioned on the homepage.
I also use the vest with the inversion exercises I had been doing. Inverted situps, sidebends, and squats have a new dimension added with the weighted vest on. I hope to be wearing a new Weightvest.com T-shirt (Large) very soon.
Thanks for the great product. It helps me feel like I am in my twenties, in my forties!"

“My name is Lee Beaumont and I use myweight vest primarily to run stairs. You can see a 10, 000 seat basketball arena behind me where I train. It has 27 flights, 3400 stairs and is about 1.9 miles around if you run all the stairs. I train with anywhere from 20 lbs. to 75 lbs and run 1-2 laps depending on my training schedule. After using the vest for about 4-5 weeks my best time running the stairs without weight dropped over 3 minutes. My legs are stronger than ever before and I had a 40” vertical in college, so that is saying something for a 36 year old guy.
I would recommend the V-Max weight vest for anyone looking to build strength and stamina.”
