So I recently got the iFitness belt part deux. It’s the second version of the version I reviewed here. What different about this one is that it has dual pouches and is also made of a neoprene type material. The first one that I reviewed worked out pretty amazing, but this one, I would have to say trumps that one. The new material is much more beneficial when running because it doesn’t get wet with sweat, therefore keeping all inside material dry! The iPhone child is safe! It doesn’t bounce and the double pockets allows me to carry more crap with me. I am seriously in awe of how this thing doesn’t bounce. iFitness also gave me another belt that has gu holders on it but since I don’t use Gu at all, I gave them to my gu-loving friends Maritza and Aron who reviewed the belt and both had great reviews. You can read their reviews by clicking on their names.
My apologies for the dirty mirror but I had to zoom in on the picture a lot. Since this picture I have also cleaned my mirror. I love the fact that the belt holds so much stuff. Seriously, you would be amazed at how many things you can put in those little pouches. I can fit 2 packs of sharkies in one pouch, with a nuun tablet and in the other pouch I can fit my cell phone, and my other armband for my iPod, with lots of room to spare.
So about the bouncing thing. When you first put it on, it might bounce a little bit, BUT loosening or tightening the strap and jogging with it will easily allow you to ‘find’ where the belt needs to sit on your body to make it work. I find that mine sits well if i fix the pockets to be on my butt. It actually almost bounces less if the belt is a little bit looser.
Once you find out where the belt works for you, you’re pretty much golden because the belt will stay there for the remainder of your run. I cannot tell you how many emails I’ve gotten from people who have bought the iFitness belt and truly love it. The pockets are bigger, the dual pouches is a great aspect and the no bounce factor is shocking and amazing all at the same time. So check out the iFitness belt if you are interested. You won’t be disappointed and they have lots of other options too! No, they don’t pay me for this, this is just a product I truly love and want to share with you guys.

I bought the other one after your first review and LOVE it! Now I think I’m going to have to get this one too because I can always come up with more crap to carry!

Upon your recommendation I purchased

Upon your recommendation I purchased the single pouch iFitness belt and I LOVE it – but I am finding that I would like to have a little more space to put stuff so I think I’ll try the larger one too!! Thanks!
By Sonja @ ActiveFoodie on 03.16.10 9:40 am
Ditto on the belt placement. It has to be directly on my firm butt or else it flops around annoying me!

Question: Do you use this on your long training runs? If so, what do you do for hydration? I use the Nathan hydration belt, which I am getting tired of, but I can’t hold a bottle in my hand, because my shoulder gets tired…suggestions?

Hmmmm, I am liking the idea. I hate running with an arm band, so this is a nice alternative. I may have to order one!

I’ve been wanting to try another iFitness belt… thanks for the review!

This actually looks good. I bought some random pouch and returned it but maybe this is worth a try.
By Robyn on 03.16.10 10:27 am

By aron on 03.16.10 10:28 am
Thanks so much for reviewing this! I’ve been wanting to buy one for a while now, but didn’t know anyone who had them. I didn’t want to spend the money and end up hating it. I think I might have to buy one now!

I bought one after you mentioned it a few weeks ago. I got the double, too – after the recent Chelsea King incident that occurred down here in San Diego, I am going to start running with my phone. So one pocket fits the iPhone perfectly, and the other pocket is for the other misc. stuff – gels, ID, cash, etc. I’ve only worn it out a couple times but so far so good! Thanks for the recommendation as it came at such perfect time. I agree with you that this is a quality product.
By Beth B. on 03.16.10 10:37 am
I agree, loosen the belt!!! It doesn’t need to be as tight as you think, and for us ba-dunk-a-dunk peeps, it’ll just creep up if it’s too tight.
Thanks for sharing the other belt for me to review…I LURVES IT!

I love the belt!
I want to check this baby out!

I second this post! I love my iFitness belt, which I bought on impulse before the Disneyland Half-Marathon last year! Now, I can’t run without it!
By Jamie on 03.16.10 11:26 am
I love, love, love my iFitness belt! I bought one right away after I read Aron’s post! LOL!
By Katie A. on 03.16.10 1:34 pm
I can staple my Gel packs to my SPIbelt. :)
By ilovesteaks on 03.16.10 2:25 pm
It is like you can SMELL when I get paid. Stop spending my money. LOL
By cyberHag on 03.16.10 3:21 pm
I bought the first one after your initial review…now I want this one! I love this belt for the iPhone alone, plus I can fit my keys and money really easily too.
By Sarah on 03.16.10 7:15 pm
I’m also wondering what you do for hydration. Do you carry a water bottle with you? This is the main reason I wear a fuel belt, but I’ve been using my husband’s and it’s a bit big so I’m looking at getting a new one. It doesn’t look like ifitness has one with water bottles though.
By Colleen on 03.16.10 9:35 pm
I may have to buy one of these. hmmmmm
By Alex on 03.17.10 8:15 am

Torn between the single and the double pouch! I was also liking the grey/pink combo. My phone and my slim camera are about the same size (just under 4″ x 2.25″ x .75″). I’m guessing for when I want to run with both (especially as fall is coming and leaves are starting to change) it would be better to have a pocket for each, instead of trying to put both in the same pocket? I wish ifitness would give dimensions (though I understand the material is kind of stretchy).
