After writing i2Workout Update, I got an email from Mike Curiale. He gave me permission to share his answers to my questions with all of you:

Hello Laura,

I see by your website that you have gotten questions regarding i2workout availability and had tried to contact me at mcuriale@gmail.com. I am sorry for any trouble I may have caused for you.

Unfortunately, I do not have dependable internet at this time. My job has transferred me to Switzerland. As such, I have temporarily pulled i2workout since I cannot fairly support new users.

The mcuriale@ync.net and ync account have been closed (but seems to persist nevertheless). The account received over 400 spam emails a day which I can not handle with my current limited access.

As soon as I am able to get reliable internet access, I will have the program up again. If you do wish to contact me, please use mcuriale@i2workout.com.

Many thanks for your support and understanding,

Mike Curiale

Hello, Mike,

It has been mentioned on my comments that maybe the iFit people served you with a cease and desist. Did that happen?

If it hasn’t and you’re not planning on supporting i2workout, are you planning on making the program more than a 30-Day trial?

Is it ok for me to share the info from these emails on my weblog so that the people who are looking know what’s going on?

Thanks for responding,
Laura Moncur

Hi Laura,

No, I have not received a cease and desist from ifit.com. Several years ago their attorney asked that I change the name from the original imfitworkout which they felt was to close to their trademarked rights. Although I didn’t agree, I did rename it i2workout to avoid conflict. They did not object to this name nor my continued promotion of the program.

Yesterday, I obtained new broadband service at my new home in Orbe, Switzerland. So I hope to get the program back up within a week or two.

Please feel free to pass on information from my emails on your weblog or as you see fit.

Best regards,
Mike Curiale

So, i2Workout is coming back soon, for all of you people who have been wanting to create workouts for your iFit machines. For a complete review of i2Workout, see my entry. I have been truly impressed with the program and I’m really glad that it is going to still be supported.
