  • More than 20 years ago, what started out as one woman’s dream to promote healthy living and weight management through physical activity and not dieting has now developed into a multi-faceted, dynamic operation – and a successful one at that!

    NEW-LIFESTYLES’ goal is to provide affordable, yet top-of-the-line, medical/research quality products that consistently exceed our customers’ expectations.

    Our products serve schools, health professionals, diabetes educators, public health professionals, researchers, fitness instructors/trainers and health-conscious individuals.

    Long-term success has come from customer loyalty and trust – thanks to the best products coupled with a thorough knowledge of pedometers and accelerometers and a "tell it like it is" honesty.

    What Do Our Customers Say?

    “I just purchased my 2nd pedometer from NEW LIFESTYLES, Inc. and a replacement cover for my first one—which has performed beautifully for over 5 years. How many people have a pedometer that lasts even ONE year? I went right to NEW LIFESTYLES when I wanted a pedometer that was also a stopwatch because of the quality and durability of their products. If you’re looking for a pedometer that performs accurately and doesn’t disappoint, don’t waste time ordering from anywhere else. The Digiwalker line from NEW LIFESTYLES is the one you need. And the ordering process was easy and quick-as was the delivery!” – Margaret in South River, Minnesota

    Wondering if a pedometer can really help you lose weight?

    “I love this product. I am replacing my own (which I broke after a lot of use — the plastic arm that holds it to your waist is not invulnerable, which is good to know) and buying one for a family member. It truly works to change your activity level and now just about everyone in my extended family has one. And everyone is losing weight and/or keeping more healthy in part because of increased activity. A wonderful part of an overall health plan.” – Kathryn in Seattle, WA

    ******************

    “NEW LIFESTYLES is a beacon of hope in today’s materialistic and predatory marketplace. This company is THE place to get your pedometer. Teresa is passionately committed to helping people get healthy and is willing to devote the time and energy to the customer service required. My sweetie and I each bought a pedometer from her serveral years ago. I had problems making mine work with the overalls I habitually wore (to upholster my fat body) and Teresa helped me figure out a fix. We’ve now lost over 100 pounds and the pedometers that helped us are still working reliably. A clip broke? Don’t toss it–get a new part from NEW LIFESTYLES. Doesn’t work anymore? Du-uh–Teresa will explain (nicely, too) you need a new battery.” – Sherry in New Hampshire

    “Great accurate product :-) I am very happy with my NL-1000.” – Linda in Victoria, BC, Canada

    ******************

    “I have bought several pedometers over the years from NEW LIFESTYLES. Excellent service, excellent product. Emails are returned promptly, delivery is quick. I recommend their pedometers to others and will continue to do so!” – Annely in Ohio

    “I love this store. I wouldn’t buy a pedometer from anyone else. They are simply the best.” -Daryl in California

    ******************

    “It sounds like an exaggeration, but my DIGI-WALKER SW 200 has literally changed my life. I am 34. My husband’s premature death of heart disease (he was 31) was a wakeup call to me that I needed to change my lifestyle, get active and set a positive example for our young children.”

    “Since I ordered it about two years ago, I have managed to maintain a 30-pound weight loss — something I had never succeeded at before. And I am positive that with this small bit of technology — I will stay healthfully active forever. Now I’m ordering one for my Dad who will be in town for about ten days starting tomorrow. I hope it will arrive while he’s here so I can give it to him. I know he’s going to really love it — both because it’s a great “gadget” and because it’s the best incentive I have ever found (and believe me, I had tried EVERYTHING) for increasing physical activity in a way that feels really “normal.” I recommend your product to everybody I meet.” – Krisandra in Dallas , TX

    ******************

    “I wear the DIGIWALKER faithfully every day to record my daily steps. I have averaged 17,000 steps/ day over the past year and am happy to report that I have lost 20 pounds. It has also motivated me to join our company gym which I also use on a daily basis. This is the best physical condition I have experienced in 20 years, and I am ecstatic.”

    “My first DIGIWALKER was broken when I jumped into a swimming pool while it was attached to my bathing suit. Since I wrongly assumed that all pedometers are created equally, I purchased another unit (Sportline 345). I was very disappointed because, from day 1, it did not record my steps accurately. After 3 weeks of increasing frustration I purchased my 2nd Yamax SW-200 DIGIWALKER. I no longer take the excellent quality of your unit for granted. It is amazingly accurate.”

    “Thanks again for producing an excellent product which has positively changed my life.” – David in Ontario, Canada

    “My item arrived before I was expecting it (fast service). Customer Service sent a confirmation of order immediately. I am very pleased with the quality of the item I ordered.” – Debra in Gurnee, IL

    ******************

    “I would just like to go on record as saying that I dearly love my SW 401Y pedometer. I have had three, no, four pedometers and they have all failed me miserably. I was in such a quandary as to what I should do next. But after “googling” for a pedometer, I found your site and took a chance. Boy, this pedometer works so well and it is so dependable. I just want to thank you for such a reliable and attractive piece — and small too. Thanks again.” – Mary in Detroit, MI

    ******************

    “As a Physical Education teacher, I have used many different types of pedometers. I found the DIGIWALKER to be one of the most accurate. I purchased the SW 401 and have set the stride for running. It is very accurate! I have used the pedometer on measured 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and one mile courses. Each time it was right on target.” – Larry in Pueblo, CO

    ******************

    “It happened on 30 March 2005 as I forgot to take it off of my jogging outfit before I threw it in the wash!! Your product is the only one I will buy. It is by far the best on the market. I was just sick when I found it at the bottom of the washing machine. I personally have lost over 60 lbs using it to walk my 10,000 steps daily and my son has lost even more!!!! Thanks for the info and I will try to salvage it if possible.” – Kathie in Avon, OH

    ******************

    “I wanted to thank you for producing an excellent product! Last year I was 30 pounds overweight, I was always tired and not feeling good, so I decided to do something about it. I purchased a treadmill and started eating better. I joined a walking group at the hospital, where I work.”

    “One day a co-worker was talking about the pedometer she had purchased. Suddenly it occurred to me to buy a pedometer, so that I would be able to track how many steps I walked through the day. I bought the Digiwalker SW-200. I found I was averaging 19, 000 steps, and each day I would try and walk a few more steps to beat the day before. I found it was a great motivator. I was feeling great, increase in energy and endurance. My first pedometer SW-200 Digiwalker drowned — I was at a party last summer and got pushed into a pool fully dressed let’s just say that was the end of my pedometer and cell phone — sad.”

    “I couldn’t find the same brand pedometer so I bought one called the Oregon Scientific. Right from the start I was so frustrated. I believe it recorded my steps inaccurately. For some reason I was only getting half to a quarter of the steps, I usually walk.”

    “After many weeks of frustration I bought another Yamax SW-200 Digiwalker, for the past four months, things have been going great — your pedometer is working great and it is perfectly accurate. Last night I was walking my dog, when I took a break to check how many more steps I have accumulated when my heart stopped. My pedometer was no longer on my belt, just the belt clip was just attached…argghh!!! I tracked my steps back home, but there was no step counter to be found. I think from taking it on and off my clothing the hinge must have loosened causing the pedometer to fall off.”

    “I just wanted to let you know I am so very happy with your product, which has definitely had a big impact in the way I feel and look it has changed my life. I am so happy to report I have dropped down from 190 pounds to 165, thanks to the, Yamax SW-200 Digiwalker. I wanted to give you the feedback so maybe the only thing the engineers can modify is a more heavy duty hinge, so I won’t lose another one, however saying so please also give them a pat on the back for producing an excellent product!” – Sherin in Ottawa, Canada

    “When I go into a grocery store, before I get a cart I take a “quick,” fast-paced look around for sales up and down isles and around the perimeter where the “live” food is. Then I get my cart and get what I need. During the winter months, I find it helps “rev” up my metabolism a bit, and if I’m walking faster I tend not to look over the sweets. So, I get in extra steps, check out sales quickly, shop better and have a better balance for my checkbook to boot! It’s a win-win situation. I love having those little buttons to push on my DIGI-WALKER!” – Ann in Alaska

    ******************

    “I love this little machine. It is simple to use and I can’t wait until the end of the day to see how many steps I took.” – Mary in Mobile, Alabama

    ******************

    “Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with my DIGI-WALKER™ SW-200. I ordered online Thursday and it was here by Monday. I have been using a pedometer for about six weeks now and have lost approximately 15 pounds. I am truly hooked on step counting! Today I walked over 25,000 steps. I feel better than I have in years.” – Linn in Merced, California

    ******************

    “I purchased a cheapy pedometer and returned it the next day because it didn’t work. That made me realize that accuracy and quality mattered to me more than saving a few bucks. I looked around on the web and was most impressed with your site. You not only knew about pedometers, but were obviously devoted to walking and fitness. You really seemed enthusiastic about it! So, I decided to try your device.”

    “So far I am THRILLED with it! It has all the right features and is easy to use. It sure seems to be of good quality. Thank you!” – Karen in Virginia

    “Thanks for a really great product. It’s the best pedometer I’ve ever owned. It’s very accurate and a pleasure to use.” – Robert in California
