GeoPalz, LLC a family-owned business, was founded in 2010 by Rich and Sheri Schmelzer and Alexandra O'Leary, the creators of Jibbitz™ - the stylish accessories for Crocs™. As parents, the creators of GeoPalz® felt it crucial to create a suite of products that encourage families to lead active lifestyles. The GeoPalz product lineup includes the GeoPalz classic pedometer for children ages 5 and older, and now the ibitz™ by GeoPalz for kids and adults, specifically designed to simplify the process of getting active with the entire family.
The ibitz pedometer is the first activity tracker and online game that records your child’s physical activity by tracking steps throughout the day and exchanging those steps for parent directed rewards, like screen time, game time and adventures. The device wirelessly syncs to your iOS BlueTooth 4.0 (BLE) smart phone or tablet and allows adults and children their own unique experience with personalized apps.
With ibitz for kids, children will have their character blast off and explore the galaxy in a spaceship powered by their steps. The more active the child is, the more they can explore and the more rewards they can earn. Kids can even earn coins and exclusive content through Disney’s Club Penguin.
The ibitz for adults, tracks minute by minute activity, including steps, distance, and calories burned, for themselves as well as the entire family, by day, week, month or year. Now you are able to form groups and post your progress on social media.
The GeoPalz® classic and ibitz™ by GeoPalz® pedometers make investing in a healthy future completely effortless, intelligent, fun, and affordable. To learn more about the GeoPalz suite of products, check out www.geopalz.com and new www.ibitz.com
