Looking at a Galileo but I dont see any mention of this unit. Unless I missed something I did not see Galileo on any list

 Debbie...

But email me, I do have some lease units over there you might be interested in.

Hi all, just to clarify that the Cardiotech CVC100 is a Medium Energy Lineal platform and there are no High Energy units available in Australia.  or are there.

  A$2500 for a 4 year old machine brand “Amazing Super Health”........ No thats just a rip off.They got them in Asia for about 100AUSD each. And they sold them with completely fake specifications. In fact most of the selling points were fake And its well out of its warranty.

Go for something new covered by a warranty if you can afford it..

Jenny

You were looking at paying A$2500 for a 4 year old machine brand “Amazing Super Health”. My opinion is that’s a lot of money for a second hand machine.

A brand I recommend is Cardiotech. I’ve met the CEO and I know their machines well. And the reputation of the company, warranty, and backup provided is important. I suggest you talk to one of the sales staff. If you don’t get the answers you need or too much sales talk get back to me.  You might find one of the machines on ebay but they are large to transport and must be carefully.

Take a look at the machines here:

http://www.cardiotech.com.au/vibration-machines

Your choices would be the CV9 which a large but good looking machine well suitable for your needs for therapy and later for training. Also for your husband. The design of this one has a platform (the base that you do the exercise positions on) that is able to be accessed from 3 sided – great for exercise positions. (This is my favourite machine of its type so I’m just a littler biased. I have one in the studio where I work, in Auckland)  http://www.cardiotech.com.au/vibration-machines/cv9

There’s also a machine with side handlebars that would be very stable for therapy and training. It would be suitable for you both. http://www.cardiotech.com.au/vibration-machines/cv12/

There’s a little machine also – Lifeback2. It would get you started at low cost as long as you have a stable chair or rail to hold onto.  This little machine is good but might not meet your training needs.

Note: I am partial to this brand but I don’t get any payment for referring you. If you look at another brand, ask again and I will tell you anything I know.

Your old injury and plates will not be an issue.

The reason for the Blacklist .... The Owners / Management have done certain things to degrade our trust in them to such a point, we simply cant trust anything they ever say.

Btw, I am in NZ and the reason I am leaning towards the Hypervibe Performance is that I can get a demo model for a good price from Elite Fitness. I undertand the Performance is the older model, but have read its specs and was impressed given its relatively low price compared to the newer Hypervibe models and other brands. Would greatly appreciate your comments on this..

I fractured my tibiae and had metal pins inserted three years ago. Would it be safe to use vibration plates to increase bone strength and density, and later for fitness training. I am in my 60s, moderately overweight, and diabetic.

I was thinking of getting a Hypervibe Performance, but concerned that you put the brand Hypervibe in your Blacklist. Could you elaborate on the reasons for that please. Many thanks.

Read instructions carefully.

For the last 10 years I have been going to a Vibratrain studio 3 times a week. For circumstances beyond my control I can no longer go so have bought a second hand (like new, approx 18mths old) Gravity Revolution machine. My question is can I do the same exercises, in the same order and length of time on the Gravity Revolution machine that I was doing at Vibratrain. The squats, both basic and super and the core/ ab exercises I have been doing for 2 mins each, is this okay on the Gravity Revolution machine and what frequency setting would be similar or beneficial for muscle tone.

Hello Di HeapVibePlus, thankyou. I must admit I froze regarding selecting a machine and still havent bought one. Im 55ish a little overweight, concerned about bone density and have a threatening meniscus knee injury that I dont want to worsen or be shaken to pieces on a poor machine. I am interested in a machine that offers muscle assistance, excercise and health benefits for a time poor life. My husband has long term weight issues worse knees and lower back pain and would use it once he realises health or weight loss benefits. We live in Australia if that effects which machines are available. Your guidance is very greatfully recieved. Cost, would save for the right machine or look on eBay for a second hand one.

Jenny, we can guide you what type of machine, or sometimes what brand, to buy if you tell us more about yourself and what you want to achieve. What is your approximate age, body type (athletic, overweight, obese ), any health considerations or any ability or disability issues? Are you wanting a machine for gentle stimulation/rehab/therapy, simple exercise training, or harder type athletic use? Will any other person be using the machine also? We can impartially guide you to the best type of machine for your needs as we dont sell home machines or make any money from advice given.

Thank you very much for your response. I can see there is no such thing as a bad machine but want to spend money wisely and once. Ive moved my focus to the brand or company recommended on your site. Many thanks, its a confusing journey to navigate and your wisdom is appreciated.

  Hello Jenny. We dont usually use actual brand names on the cheaper models, because the companies change the machine itself or give them new names so often to trick the consumer, it would be futile. Instead it is much better to KNOW what TYPE of machine you are buying.

Eg.....  Click on and read carefully our    Machine Review page.   After that you can never be ripped off, know matter how often they change the sticker on the outside.

You will see your machine is a "Low Speed Pivotal." It may be a slightly higher speed Pivotal. But it is not a Premium Speed Pivotal.

Which is not good or bad. It just depends on what you need it for, or how you are going to use it.

Read the article ..... No such thing as a Bad Machine. 

Wish Icould edit my earlier comment.... me again, Ive found the machine has a brand name of Amazing Super Health. Also Im in Australia.

Loving your site and expertise, wish there was a green list of good machines. Im looking to buy a secondhand VIBRO TRAINER, 4 years old was 2,500 AUD. can anyone offer advice please.

 Both Pivotal and Lineal create muscle pump. Which creates more blood movement and pressure within the vascular system than the heart. The better the machine, the better the flow.

To explain your situation in detail, in a way your Doctor may not. Quite simply your own body weight and gravity has combined to stop the blood circulating in your legs properly. You are about to get a unit to remedy that issue ( why the KN value is so important past 90kg )     

Thanks for responding so quickly.  I also asked Gravity HQ and they said that if I was on blood thinners the machine would be perfect.  If I wasnt I should treat it like normal exercise.  That it has no impact and is not shaking my body around.  Reminded me that even walking can shift a clot.  

I believe in their best intentions.  I have asked them for more info.  Is there any way you would see this as true since its a pivotal machine.  I DO NOT want to be unwise.  

Thank you so much for your input.  It is valued. 

 Yes. You MUST wait for the blood clot to be broken up and gone.

But the good news is that is unlikely to ever happen again using the machine regularly.

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.  

Connie

 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.
