Hi again.  Ive been waiting expectantly to get my Gravity Revolution and then got a large blood clot in my saphenous vein.  Ive read that its not smart to use a wbv machine at this point  Do you have input

 Hello Michael

Yes. Not only is it a good unit, with a higher KN value than any Power Plate ( imperative for your results not to plateau but also not drop specs under your weight ), it is also backed up by a real company, not some random salesperson.

Hi Lloyd. 

I am seriously considering buying a Gravity Revolution here in NZ but only because I cannot buy one of your machines, smiley face.

I am 53 years old and weigh 160kg. About 7 years ago, I trained, in South Africa, for about 8 months with an excellent trainer on a Powerplate and had good initial results in that I lost some weight, built muscle and the body felt really good. I am wondering how the Gravity Revolution will compare, I assume it is a far better machine than the PP.

Any advice will be most welcome.

Cheers, Michael

 Well we got attacked hard out this last week. Seems to happen each time we make a certain company angry. ( they are dumb enough to brag about it )

But we are up and running again. Comment away..

 All good mate. To clarify....

Once you get your unit, we will be guiding you and your loved ones all the way mate. From day one and for as long as you need us.   

oops NEW Gravity Revolution

Hi again Lloyd  smiley face

I must not have asked my question clearly.  The only machine I want at this point is the Gravity Revolution.

Question 1 Would testing a Hypervibe G17 Pro give me a sense for whether or not I would like the new Gravity Revolution.

I would assume so except you said it felt like a heavier lineal machine.  The other machine that is available to test are Power Plates.  I did stand on my Mother in laws older PP once and my back cramped up.  Of course I didnt know how to stand, etc.  

Question 2  Would the new Gravity Revolution shake my head a lot ...A pivotal salesperson told me that lineal machines move your head like crazy and most people find them quite uncomfortable.  He said that yours a in a completely different category and dont have that issue.  I know the new Gravity Revolution is a pivotal but you said it felt like a heavier lineal machine.  

Hope this clarifies... Thanks a zillion....I dont know what Id do without your help.

 Just follow this guide , so the brand does not matter. ( because some brands have both types of units. And put stickers on anything they can buy from China )

Read this to clarify.....

 http://www.vibration-training-advice.com/consumer-guide-and-safety-program/articles-61---70/no-such-thing-as-a-bad-machine   

Since there is no lineal machine here that I want since it seems like the DKN is the only option that is decent but not for me because of my weight.  That leaves pivotals and it seems that the new Gravity Revolution is the way to go for the same reason.  Now it seems I need to test something to give me a sense whether I  will like that.  

1.  What type of machine am I looking for...pivotal or linear. i.e.  Would a Hypervibe, PowerPlate or 3GCardio be best.  Id just bit the bullet and order the new Gravity Revolution now except I keep getting told I need to test...smiley face.  

2.  Since Im not testng a specific machine but the type of machine, is the best way to test it to stand on it in one of the poses and make sure it feels okay...

Have a great evening.

Then run the machine at the same level with you on it. It it feels or sounds like it has lost power, you know it is straining and it will not give the best results.

Lloyd, I so appreciate your input and you calling Gravity Revolution.  I have a message in to them asking regarding cost.  Looks like my next step is to test a Hypervibe and a 3GCardio.  Would the new Gravity Revolution feel more like the 3GCardio. Id love it if you would give me instructions on testing a machine...in this case to see what type I like rather than the specific machine.  

 First off.... " .  Would it be profitable to try the Hypervibe just to see how a pivotal feels and the 3GCardio to see how a lineal feels "

(6) Sorry...... I never retail my unit. Too big and powerful not to be used without supervision.         

Im in a pickle . . . the only products sold exercise stores in Minneapolis are Power Plate and 3GCardio.  Even in Chicago which is 9 hours away there seems to be a dearth of products sold and therefore no where to go to try out a machine.  There is a possibility of being able to try a hypervibe that is in a "medical" office and the Power Plate and 3GCardio in a store.  

My options for purchase are

1.  CV9 associated with CardioTech Australia with website cardiotechvibration.com The motor is 400W

2. CV9 from Spice Wellness in Canada where it says that The Canadian CV9 was reengineered to reach a true 28 Hz and has Weight Adjust Sensitivity, everything else is the same as the Australian 22 Hz model.  This makes me a bit nervous. The motor is listed as 900W

3. Gravity Revolution from Spice Wellness in Canada

4.  DKN XG10 from www.dknusa.com

5. Power Plate Commercial models from Minneapolis store

6. 3GCardio from Minneapolis store

Here are my questions

1.  Would the DKN XG10 with KN 3.2 lose its effectiveness since I am very obese . . .275 lbs and short ..and thus make a pivotal better for me

2.  Would it be profitable to try the Hypervibe just to see how a pivotal feels and the 3GCardio to see how a lineal feels

3.  Youve mentioned results on a pivotal machine will plateau.  What might that that look like for me.  Di mentioned that she finds the CV9 suitable for building fitness and strength.  Considering my weight, what might results look like for me 

4.  Does the weight of machine make a difference since I am so overweight Gravity Revolution is 60 Kg in weight compared to the 51.5 kg

5.  Ive read a lot on this site and LOVE it.  But the hold of Power Plate in the US and the recommendation by Mercola and its use by pro athletic teams makes me think that people are getting results from it and perhaps I should go that route.  EEK  

6. Any way to buy a Vibratrain and ship it to me 

Thank you for all your help

Also my comment regarding the DKN XG10 was about someone wanting a copy of my Lineal units, or something close. But there is nothing US based even close. .... The DKN series are the only practical option.      

I forgot to mention that I have some edema in my legs.

I live in a small town in the US and am looking for a recommendation.  My husband and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum for health.  Our driving reason is my health ... knees hurt the more I walk so I sit a LOT, short, 275 lbs.  He is 6 feet, slim and athletic with a spot in lower back that hurts.  We can spend substantially more than 4000 dollars to get a lasting machine that would work well for both of us.  Due to our location, Im interested in something that will not need repairs or is easy for a machine savvy person to fix.  

Ive noted that you recommended the DKN XG10 but in another spot you said there were no good lineal options in the US.  Another option might be the CV9 or Gravity REsoloution from Spice Wellness.  

What are your thoughts...What would you consider the pros  cons of the unit or units you recommend.  Thank you sooo much.

ps No symbols will type and I could not cut and past from Word or Notepad.

I support both forms of this technology . Always have, always will. But I never support misleading marketing.  

We use it in the am, and pm theres nothing better. I can now bend down to line up a put. Open your mind.

Note: It is such a shame. Because the Therapy Applications are fantastic.

 Tony...

If you have had it years. It will be their old model. The one we endorsed. ( we just didn't endorse their ethics )

To Josh, I have had a Hypervibe machine for many years. Works perfectly. Just to let you know. 

For the prices they are asking. I would highly suggest you look at other brands that have a good reputation in Vibration Training. Not some company that sells toys and other stuff. This is your health we are talking about.

The list of Power Plate Studios that have now closed permanently. With rumors of broken machines just beyond the warranty date and simply too expensive to repair being the main cause.

Not everybody responds to the higher fqs on Pivotal's like the "experts" say. 

Hi, my wife has had a Cardiotech VT12 for a number of years and was very happy with the results she gained from using it. We recently upgraded the to Cardiotech CV9 and have had nothing but disappointment with it. The item is advertised as the latest and greatest but in practice is does not seem to do anything for her at all. We have spent a lot of time using the machine and with no results, no muscle soreness and not even any feeling of the muscles working. 

To test my theory about the item not working my muscles Ispent 30 minutes on the CV9 in various exercises and felt no muscle activation. I then went to our old machine a few days later and did the same workout and within seconds of commencing the first exercise I could feel my muscles activate. I am very disappointed with the machine and Cardiotech have made all types of excuses for the lack of muscle activation andor soreness and the lack of results. 

Have you conducted any reviewtesting of the Cardiotech CV9 and if so do you have any thoughts on the quality of the item.

 Lloyd seems your prediction with hypervibe and Murray Seaton was on the money.Vindicates the blacklist.

Got these off their own facebook page.

Worst company ever, they take your money and run. I paid $3495 for a G17-Pro machine for my personal training business in July 2015 because it's "ideal for clinical use, pro level conditioning, strength and power." It broke down completely after only 5 months and Hypervibe could not or would not send a service technician out despite several phone calls/emails (it would be exorbitant cost - I'm in Brisbane and they're on Sunshine Coast??!!) After that I just wanted my $3495 back which they just keep talking around, accusing me of breaking the machine, saying they've never had one break before. Funny their NZ rep said they DO break and in that case they always perform a service call. So fed up I've reported them to QLD Office of Fair Trading and even they can't seem to get an answer; I will have to take legal action now to get a refund per Australian consumer LAW. This has been going on since 7 December 2015. No Customer Service and no technical backup - do NOT waste your money.

This company basically takes your money and runs. I bought the Hypervibe G10 mini (which is NOT portable and weighs a hefty 24kg, the 'mini' in the title is very misleading).
Hypervibe sent me a defective machine. There was no display panel, it only vibrated at the one speed on which it was impossible to even stand on. It shook my furniture and floors, it was dangerous. I have been chasing my $995 since it was delivered on the 24th of December 2015, and have spent a lot of my time calling and emailing back and forth. Customer Service is extremely bad. Hypervibe delivered a faulty product, by consumer law I am entitled to a full refund. My bank details were given a week ago and the $995 has not been refunded. Hypervibe keeps stalling and 'intending' to pay. I have no choice but to involve my solicitor. Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time or money dealing with this dodgy company.

Note: I contacted this company some time ago to clarify some questions I had, but got no reply.

Considering www.lifetimevibe.com  appreciate input on this and how it fares with the other machines on your lists. Thank you.

I am doing some research into vibration machines when I stumbled on this site. I had virtually decided to purchase the HyperVibe Mini .  We are in Australia. can you tell me if this machine has this " "faulty power plate.    Thanks Shona
