Interesting comment from reviewers on Vibration Training for athletes from this article... ( 2013 )

http://www.strengthandconditioningresearch.com/2013/02/06/vibration-training-athletes/


The reviewers concluded, “It is unlikely that vibration exercise alone using the currently available technologies can benefit athletes.” They noted however that this could change as technologies develop and the build quality of commercially available machines improves.


Despite this they quote some research from academics who used fake platforms and then covered it up. Still submitting their papers for peer review and publishing. Publish or perish no matter the cost to science.

The fact is by covering up the engineering issues, the academics themselves have denied athletes the chance to use a decent product all this time. That was already built in 2004

This article here could be directly referring to all the fake Vibration Training papers submitted by so called exercise  experts.....

This being our precise issue......

Standout comments from The Guardian I have slightly changed to suit our industries shameful situation.


"Any reviewer with more than a high-school knowledge of physics and the ability to understand basic logic should have spotted these paper's shortcomings immediately. Its experiments are so hopelessly flawed that the results are meaningless."


"In the event that we do find that members did not practice appropriate peer review or independent engineering reports , we will attempt to  take action that may include asking them to give back the grant money they took. And the "experts" status they have taken fraudulently.  "

Everyone in the industry agrees with this Lloyd,

except for the man in question.

hopefully people see through his online "guff" and we can pull the Vibration training industry together so consumers can get information that is true and importantly information that is unified.

it can be so confusing for customers and we all want to avoid that.

I would like to state for the consumer. I strongly disagree with the company HyperVibe  using these terms in their marketing.
  

" Designed in Australia by an electrical engineer " 

" designed in Australia by a team of health and fitness experts "

" A product of Australia "

 " Origin: Imported (Australia) "


I urge the consumer to get written clarification on what these terms actually mean before you purchase a machine.
 
Note; As far as I am aware, Mr Murray Seaton is in charge of all marketing decisions. So he would be the one to ask.   


(1) When was this machine released and by whom. Did you design it from scratch or modify an existing model. How many parts did you modify from the original. Where did the original come from ?  


(2) What does a "product of Australia mean ? Is this the same as "Made in Australia "


(3)  What does " Origin Imported Australia mean ?   


If you feel as though you have been misled through implied claims that may or may not be illegal in your country. Go with your instincts. 

Note: These purchases are similar in price to a small car and pertain to a device you are about use on your body. Some of you may have health concerns. You have a right to some straight answers.

hi everyone

We just had a terrific show at the Auckland ASB Showgrounds and met so many lovely people who were very surprised at how much better they felt, and how their joints and back muscles felt revived after a short session on the Gravity Revolution with us.

Next stop Napier Home show this Friday, Saturday and Sunday…

So many people ask the question “does it tone and burn fat” and will it help me get rid of my belly fat?

In a short answer I will say “yes, if used correctly, fat loss  and body tone is inevitable when using any high quality Premium Speed Pivotal vibration training product. ”

BUT, this comes with consistent and correct use, and by consistent I mean at least 3 ten minute sessions a week for training and 3-6 ten minute sessions on circulation or posture (in lower speeds – below 13Hz).  This can include sitting, which will help with cellulite in the thighs and lower lymph drainage.

DON’T LEAVE IT IN A CORNER OF THE GARAGE TO BE FORGOTTEN!

Put your machine in the lounge or somewhere easy to see it and use it, this will help you get more from it.

And don’t worry, every machine purchase comes with membership to a site that covers every training, fat burn or joint rehabilitation need you can think of, all designed by leading world Vibration training Physio, Jasper Sidhu.

Happy Vibrations to everyone

Message from Lloyd Shaw

Hi everyone,

We are showing off our fantastic machine to the public at the Auckland Homeshow, ASB stadium every day until Sunday.

The show is open until 9pm except on Sunday, so we would love to see you.

Being on the stand all day yesterday demonstrating to one person after the next, it reminded me of how important it is to remember to BREATHE as you do your vibration session!

You would be surprised how many people hold their breath during a pose.

So the tip of the day, for linear or pivotal users is to

1.      Breathe in as you move into position SLOWLY and with good form

2.      Breathe steadily as you hold the pose

3.      Breathe out as you SLOWLY rise out of the held position.

4.      And Breathe gently and deeply as you relax in standing position if you are not moving at all.

When you Breathe, focus on moving your diaphragm lower and expanding your belly muscles, (not sucking them in) and the breath will allow more oxygen to flow and will distress they body as well.

I hope that helps and we will talk soon

Buying or trying at an expo or show demonstration…

Have you ever been to an expo or demonstration of a vibration machine where the salesperson just whacked the speed up high just to let you “feel” the HZ, with your knees locked and your feet at shoulder width?

It is a common scenario, and it has become a problem for Vibration training as a whole because it leaves the person who has just had this inflicted on them, feeling that the whole thing is a farce and not to be taken seriously.

Expos and shows are a perfect environment to have a look at a machine you would not otherwise have seen, but there are some tips to getting the best and safest session when you are being introduced to pivotal vibration.

1.      Ask the person guiding you how long they have been doing this, and what their background is in the industry.

You will soon hear from their language if they know what they are talking about

2.      Tell the sales person or trainer of any previous injuries, knees, hips, ankles, back, and let them know if you have any long term issues like diabetes or heart conditions.

Don’t worry – it probably doesn’t mean that you can’t get on it; however, letting us know will make sure that your instruction for your trial session is specifically suited to your needs and is not generic garble. 

#everyone involved with the Revolution at a stand has had experience in fitness or health, or has done specific vibration training certification)

3.      Stand with your feet under your hips – NOT YOUR SHOULDERS – this way, if you are trying a machine where you go to a higher speed than you are ready for, you are less likely to hurt yourself.

REMEMBER – on a pivotal machine, the wider your feet are, the more your body will move.  This is great to know and each position has its purpose, but on a first trial, when uncertain, opt for safety, and narrow the stance when going higher in speeds

Actually as a side note – making a customer go wider in the stance can be used as a cover up for a weaker machine because the body wobbles more.  This wobble makes people feel like they are exercising.  Actually, unless you are getting above 15 Hz you are not really getting “exercise” and it is in the higher speeds that (17-30 Hz) where the super training and amazing toning results are happening.

4.      Just because it feels weird – doesn’t mean it is bad.  Actually if this is your first go on a premium speed pivotal machine, it is meant to feel weird…especially up above the 15 Hz speeds.  Enjoy the new sensations and keep the salesperson appraised of how you are feeling so they can adjust the speed for accordingly, or talk you through it.

# IF you don’t tell them – how can they help you?  And that is why we are here.

5.      Follow your intuition - your gut feeling about the person in front of you is often correct and you should “feel” confident in their knowledge.  If you don’t, then walk away. 

6.      Don’t buy it if there is no post- sale training support – it’s not just about having a great machine at home, it is also about having the best advice on how YOU INDIVIDUALLY can get the best from having one at home.

So I hope this information helps you have a safe and informative trial at the next expo or shop that you see a machine at, and if you see us there, pop over to say hello, we would love to meet you.

Cheers

A statement released by GravityHQ in response to Murray Seatons of HyperVibe contradictory conversations to multiple parties. ( what is the truth. And does anyone working for him now trust him ? )   

Dhyana of GravityHQ

Co-developer of the Gravity Revolution (built “from scratch” –NZ owned and designed Premium speed Whole Body Vibration (pivotal) machine)

Wow, this is somewhat of a back-peddle for this guy when you consider that a huge component of Murray Seaton’s online marketing is completely designed specifically to tell people that his Hypervibe is better than any others because of the High G’s and the High Hz and that any machines without these specs are not worth purchasing.

This is the type of marketing that Lloyd is trying to eradicate.

It is the type of marketing that is driven to create a fear in you, the consumer, and to undermine other products and businesses rather than focus on their own benefits.

It is the type of marketing that has damaged the Vibration industry for home users in the last couple of years and created negative view of many manufacturers who are in fact truly committed to customer satisfaction and results.

Ask yourself this… can a report that is claimed to be independent – but which actually was funded by Hypervibe – ever be truly independent?

Especially if the owner or representatives of that company are actually present at many or all of the testing: how does this influence the outcomes?

This is a skilled but out-dated Marketing ploy to try and build up a sense of credibility in the market by putting other businesses products down.

Lloyd, you speak of integrity being lost if the Galaxy does not show itself soon. Well, I believe that integrity has held very little place with this person or this company for some years now.

His effort to smooth over the fact he has been at loggerheads with you for years by responding to your post is easy to see through, and I am fairly convinced that the only reason he has posted it is to calm the waters that you just stirred up by telling the truth about his history.

The readers would get an interesting answer if they asked Murray (or the company he did this to) if he ever put machine specifications on his so called “independent” comparison report without actually testing the machine, and was forced to retract that machine from the report to avoid court proceedings.

Keep waiting for the Galaxy everyone; we all hope it is going to be a great machine. BUT for all of you who want a professional level machine that actually is ready for you (and genuinely affordable) – I truly encourage have a look at Our Gravity Revolution.

You can ask Lloyd if the Gravity Revolution up to his standard – he has tried it in his own studio. Lloyd has first-hand experience of it and would quickly tell you if the specs and quality were not up to standard.

(That’s what we love about him. He Keeps everyone honest and will challenge you all to do the same to him.)

The nearest competition to the Gravity Revolution is shared in the specs comparison below. So compare the apples with the apples, and make your decision just on facts.

Pivotally speaking, there is not another machine around as good as ours, and after years in the Vibration industry (and personally decades in the health/fitness industry) we are so proud to bring it to the market for you all.

We understand that having great specs is NOT the end of the story, and know that great training support is paramount for getting the individual results you need – so we incorporated this kind of support into your purchase so you always have somewhere to turn for the correct information and techniques.

PEOPLE, Linear and Pivotal are NOT THE SAME (so techniques of use vary greatly)! But both are terrific when they work and when they are worked correctly.

I look forward, like Lloyd, to a future in this industry where the customer ends up the winner because they are getting the results they hoped for when they use their vibration machine.

No doubt you will hear from me soon

Cheers

You’re looking for a machine that doesn’t exist, Scott

It was promised by Hypervibe with a launch date of around 3 years ago, which has been deferred over and over and still hasn’t happened.  If you’d checked out their website you see its still “under development”

If you give some details of exactly what you are looking for and why - someone will help you find a suitable machine

 OR contact Jon Hyams – his email address is in a post 5 below this one.  He’s a recommended distributor of Vibration Machines and will advise you and source a suitable machine for your needs.

Does anyone know about a machine Galaxy by hypervibe. Can not find one to try. I am in Cal.

Hello Lloyd,

I have been reading through this website trying to learn as much as I can about vibration training.  You have a plethora of information here.  My question is do you have recommendations on high energy lineal machines which can be obtained in the USA for use with your safe program.

Appreciate any additional guidance.

Thanks

Drew

Tammy, 

Lloyd is right pick a machine that is right for you and your budget. Don't let anyone try and talk you into one machine over another. Try vertical and try pivotal. See what feels right on your body and go from there. I own Nitrofit which I suggest you look into as a more affordable alternative to Hypervibe.  Our Nitrofit Deluxe is very similar in design and function but tuned down to more comfortable frequencies. Depending on what you are looking to use your machine for you may not need so much power. If you try several products and decide to go with ours, please Email me at jon@wholebodyvibration.net. I will be happy to give you more Information as well as give you a discount code to order a machine even cheaper online. 

After reading all this Im more confused than ever, Im trying to find some real and honest opinions on what are considered the top 5 machines.. I live in Fort Lauderdale FL and find it really odd that there seems to no where to go and test WBV machines for home use.. Im a normal female 5 5" 118 pounds so all Im really wanting to do is tone and maybe build a little.... I was thinking about the Hyervibe because thats all I seem to read good things about when reseaching the internet.. If anyone can point me to a better or as good machine that does not cost 2,600 that would be great and maybe some place where I can actually try before I buy.. Feel free to email me if you can be of help.. not sure if Im allowed to put my email address on here but Ill try, looks like you cant well I put it in the "Your Name" field.. Any way thanks for any help in advance.. Tammy

Hi lioyd i suffer with ankylosing spondylitis,my local gym has vibrostation lineal units useing  your safety program.ive not had a chance to speak to the instructer yet but do you think it is safe for me to do this form of exercisse.thanks in advance gary

Help LIke many other severely overweight and unfit people I need advice before I even consider any sort of  excercise, particularly when it involves the purchase of an expensive piece of equipment. I have bought things in the past, opened the box and found a leaflet saying I should not use this without a doctors advice, or should not use it at all, a foot spa. Can you advise me on the suitablitiy of vibration therapy exercise for a 69 year old obese lady with diabetic neuropathy which makes my feet so painful that walking is difficult, arrythmia, angina, kidney damage due to the diabetes. I have a venous return problem in my legs and am told not to massage them. I have broken both ankles at different times, the left one being particulary painful from time to time. I have been unable to find any exercixse classes for larger ladies and gyms are full of skinny people so I would be embarrassed to go and work out in one. I would swim but the local pool does not have a fat ladies session and what fat lady wants to don a swimsuit and go in a pool with kids Why is it that those of us who really need help with fitness training cannot get it. My doctor is a dead loss, I know what constitutes a healthy diet and am trying to stick to it, but being fairly immobile the weight does not come off, so what happens, I get discouraged, think blow this, and have a bar of chocolate. People tell me go for a walk but my feet are so painflul this is not an option. Anyone out there got any solutions It would be of particular interest if anyone had had the same sort of problems a s most of the fitness instructors Ihave talked to have never been anything but 150 percent fit and have no idea what it is to be plagued by illness or disability.Sorry, boys and girls, unless you have been there you do not know. Reading about it in a a textbook is  not a good training.

I spoke earlier today with someone who attended the NSCA Conference in Vegas.  It appears it is fading away.  This person said it seems more for personal trainers now instead of for strength and conditioning coaches and training athletes.  The NSCA has gotten away from the foundation it was started on which was for strength and conditioning coaches who worked with competitive athletes and not personal trainers working with the general population.

I just checked the exhibitors list for the NSCA Conference in Vegas next week and Power Plate does not appear to be showing up.  Hmmm, Power Plate had been a corporate partner or "sponsor" for the NSCA.  So, apparently Power Plate North America is in trouble like Power Plate in other parts of the world or else the NSCA finally got wise and dumped Power Plate.
