Lloyd I bought the fitvibe machine and it works great... Should I feel big difference when changing intensitiy, I mean amplitude from low to high?  Cause I dont.

David....
 
Complete rubbish. All part of the scaremongering tactics resorted to by some dodgy marketers.
 
We have heard it all....
 
EMF or RF will give you cancer or stop your pacemaker ( with a motor the size of your car engine maybe )
 
Two motors will scramble your brain.
 
Lineal will give you brain damage
 

Always ask yourself just one question if listening to any of that kind of stuff..... Why do 99% of the worlds commercial locations use the machines these people say will kill or hurt me. But after 12 years, no reports of damage.

Im just wondering about EMF radiation with vibration plates. Is there any concern with  AC motors? Any info on that?

 
Lloyd Shaw Posted On:2015-12-06 10:25:42

 It is possible. But I would need to see it....Got a link or send me a photo by email    

 
David Posted On:2015-12-05 22:57:15

Lloyd, is it possible that fitvibe plate has different name. Im asking because the plate Im trying to buy looks exactly like fitvibe, but has different name written on machine and also in software. Have you ever heard of that? Im just trying to make sure its the right plate before I buy it but I dont want to post the link to it  here.

Solid floor is best. Or if you are worried about residual vibrations, best to put the machine on a mat made of two layers. Hard rubber on top, soft foam beneath.
 

Handlebar .....  Sorry don't know if it is detachable. Long time since I seen one. 

 
David Posted On:2015-12-04 20:26:55

One more thing, can you remove the holder from plate, I ask that for transportation purposes.

 
David Posted On:2015-12-04 20:24:07

Thank you, Can you tell me can this  machine be placed  on flooring?

Fit-Vibe medical old model with separate control.
 
PROS....
 
(1) More KN.
(2) Separate control box means easier maintenance. ( which I can help you with some advice )
(3) The vibration will not cause issues with the controls unlike sold state units.
(5) Good quality stainless steel hull.
 
If the box completely craps out. One can be rebuilt. ( I do that now _.
 
A piece of history that is just to expensive to build nowadays.

 

Cons......   No warranty.   

 
 
David Posted On:2015-12-03 21:10:09

It has come down to two plates, Dkn xg 10 vs fittvibe medical old model with separate control. Would like to hear your opinion, pros and cons. Thanks.

So basically a Medium Energy Level ( Medium magnitude ) unit. Old style standard platform.
 
These guys have been using that style of machine for years.....  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmWkFoJyIDU

You would be better off with a Pivotal unit. A good quality one will allow you to do your physio and training. ( And be much cheaper to buy ).
 
Note: The lower speeds of a Pivotal unit allow full communication between brain and muscles.

Looking at power plate My5

im in the US , have had nervous system issues,  neuropathy , proprioception, balance problems . With proper use can this machine help me or do more harm    

Felt I could walk better, feel the ground better after trying it out 

 
Lloyd Shaw Posted On:2015-11-26 14:40:14

  Fitvibe medical over the newer Pro .

The pro just has a bigger plate which makes things like the wide stance squat and proper pushup position possible.  .

 
David Posted On:2015-11-25 19:47:42

Lloyd, could you make a comparison between Fitvibe medical and fitvibe pro excel in terms of force developed. I can get a used fitvibe m. for under 2000 eur, and there is also someone selling pro excel but I think is very expensive. What would be a good price for both, both used? Thanks

 
Lloyd Shaw Posted On:2015-11-23 13:49:48

 Very old models....  piss weak. Only good for rehab.  

 
David Posted On:2015-11-22 20:44:09

I found some strange DKN models and these are DKN evolve, DKn pro extreme and DKN Dunlop. How are they compared to DKN xg10? Are those old models? No info on KN force found. Thanks for all info, I am really learning a lot from you.

Standard Medium Energy Level units. Weaker than powerplates .

Will make difference to your results. Really just depends on your energy levels.

The only exercise contraindication for Vibration Training is no heavy weights straight afterwards.

 
David Posted On:2015-11-20 21:37:37

Does anyone know anything about Bremshey or tunturi vibration plates?

 
Glenys Posted On:2015-11-20 15:37:34

H Guys,

I am a long time user of Vibra Train, 3 sessions a week. I have recently started doing high intensity interval training on a exercycle,  also 3 x a week.

My question is,  should I do the interval training on the same day as theVibra Train, or should I do it on alternate days.

Thanks

Glenys

 
Lloyd Shaw Posted On:2015-11-17 02:26:51

 Ok. After 12 years.. Never heard of a FitVibe Medical going down. And I have used one myself.

Also Globus and DKN , but they are newer brands.

 
David Posted On:2015-11-16 21:55:44

The thing is i would buy a used machine, all these machines I listed are being sold as used in countries near by , so I dont count on service support very much. Some of the machines are being refurbished and even renamed. Dont know if that is good. Considering this I guess the most important factor for me would be the quality, so it doesnt break often. So which firm according to your info is best known for having least repairs?

 
Lloyd Shaw Posted On:2015-11-16 15:22:40

 Quite simply David. Getting the machine you feel is well backed up warranty wise is a big thing. As they are the price of a small car.

 
Link to Specs Posted On:2015-11-16 14:53:16

David..... My opinion with all relevant info

Power Plate classic .... Good. But if it breaks, that might be it.

Old Vibrogym  .... Good unit. But Vibro-Gym now run by Power Plate people whom you should never trust. So if it breaks ? 

Fitvibe medical.....  ( very rare ) Technically a better option thanks to the separate electronics. Best to see if they still service them though.

 Globus fit  Globus Mygold  ...   Both good options if company is active in your area.

Dkn xg10?  ......   Yes a bit lighter. But great reputation to date. No issues with their service.

 
David Posted On:2015-11-15 21:25:01

Im trying to decide between many units. So what would be best, power plate classic, old vibrogym, fitvibe medical, which has separate control unit, globus fit, globus Mygold or dkn xg10? Dkn seems a little weaker but is very quiet. Are all others pretty much same units with differrent cover? Thank you.

 
Lloyd Shaw Posted On:2015-11-13 13:56:24
David....
 
Yes that model is a copy of the original Fit-Vibe Medical unit. ( not made any more )  And is up to standard with Vibro-Gym and Body-Shaker. Only downside is the plate dimensions are a bit limiting.
 

I would go for the larger plate only for this reason. Same electronics, same motors etc....

 
David Posted On:2015-11-12 20:28:19

I found that globus has one more bigger plate, It is called phisioplate Fit, the specs and weight seems the same as MyGold model, the only difference is it says it only has 9G, and the design is more like older vibrogym or powerplate. It also cost about 1000 eur less than Gold model. Do you nknow anything about this machine? Is it strong enough compared to Gold model Thanks for all the informations.

 
Lloyd Shaw Posted On:2015-11-11 14:34:20

Nothing wrong with the specs. The motors should last years. Even if a bearing goes, they are very cheap to replace.

The electronics are the only risk really. And that can only be predicted by the breakdown rate of other Globus Gold units. So all you can really do is contact them and ask for an honest answer and costing of replacement parts.
