Hello,

Just recently discovered vibration training and started investigating and reading up on it and came across your site.

I live in Europe and looking for a  good lineal machine, my problem is i really cant get anywhere in your review section, i see the thumbnails but they are no links to reviews of the depicted machines so no infos to be had there. After that checked the section of recommended machines, only entry for europe were the Netherland based company making the Bodyshaker, tried to mail them but mail failed to be delivered with the error message saying their mail box is full. So any idea if they are out of business also any clue about other trust worthy manufacturers i can contact for a sturdy machine that would be able to handle a high weight load ?
 

Any and all help appreciated

Follow the Pivotal program Di Heap recommended. And you cant really go wrong.

Generally speaking, vibration training does not cause growth in muscle girth, it doesn’t make you big – it makes you strong.  Also female (I’m assuming Millie is female) hormones hold muscle size/growth back.. that said, some people gain some size no matter what they do and will gain a little with vibration training;  but less than with a heavy, low rep weights program .

Did you not receive any training or program information when you bought your machine? Most companies supply this; maybe you bought re-sale.

Here’s a link to a whole body program for Pivotal Machines. What it doesn’t tell you is the exact speeds to use as that will differ by machine brand and your current fitness and health level. Please ensure you know what speeds to use. Note well that arm positions are at very low intensity, much less than legs. Ask us for more help if you need it.

I suggest you use a 2cm approx thick, rubber mat on the platform for arm positions, for comfort.

The funny side of it is. The are actually chasing the idea of Higher Energy Lineal.

Hi Lloyd,

i have noticed that Galileo have incresed the the spped of some of their "higher end" models to 36hz.

Is there any new information, science, testing that would support the increase or is this just a marketing ploy as i think you have previously explained that 27hz is the optimal on piviotal machine.

Thanks in advance

Yes good Higher Speed Pivotal. Good company behind it.

Has anyone tried the nitrofit deluxe plus 

is this a good machine

All been done before. And it will fail. Which they deserve for not telling their customers the whole truth.

I have a Full Body Vibration machine from Vibrant health and wellness at my gym.  Is this a good machine to work out on

To whom it may concern, ( opinion piece )

Disclosure: I Lloyd Shaw have no, or ever had any financial ties or dealing with Russell Greene and Russell Berger. My dealings with them was purely based on promoting ethics / consumer protection work founded on common beliefs.

As a Mortician and Fitness Industry leader I take my fight against dishonesty in our industry very seriously. It is my belief only a combination of full disclosure, passionate people and good safe exercise options can help our population regain its health.

My warning........

After having personal contact and working on a project with both Russell Greene and Russell Berger. It is my honest opinion their lack of discipline, personal standards and lack of accountability is the root cause of CrossFit's reputation of unsafe practices.

Their almost psychopathic ability to deny any wrongdoing is a dangerous thing to have in the Fitness Industry. I believe their current mindset would allow them to cover up any incident of uneducated dangerous trainers, accidents or even death, that would interfere with their profit margin / marketing and justify it. Without remorse.

Their willingness to use academics who claim expertise outside their actual experience or qualifications to influence or misdirect the consumer is disturbing.

Universal truths are usually simple, and one that I have learnt is.......

" If the rot is at the top, the rest will surely follow " Lloyd Shaw

It is my opinion it is only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs and regulation will be forced on this industry. It is my hope the regulation comes before the tragedy.

Kind regards Lloyd Shaw NZ

Only two choices come to mind...... Lazy or dishonest. Take your pick.

This is unfortunately typical of academics. Constantly overstating their expertise based on fleeting moments with technology or subjects. I would call them nothing but confidence artists who use the letters after their name to scare people into not asking questions.   

More on him and his "work" to come soon.  

PS.  These are old designs I challenged PP to better. ...still waiting

PS.  If Power Plate had never lied to people out of greed. They wouldn't be getting such a hard time.  I gave them that chance a long time ago. They deserve any negative publicity they get.

You are welcome to your opioion of Powerplate Lloyd and the latest Powerplate commercial machines are far in advance of anything you have on offer, your machines appear like they are made for a few thousand dollars. You spend so much time talking about vibration training you forget to get on with running your own business and growing it, its no wonder more than half of your studios have failed since you began.  Too much talk not enough work Lloyd

Do not have link handy but go to youtube.com and type "CrossFit The Good Fight" as search.  You will see how corrupt these organizations like NSCA, ACSM, and Richard Beddies Reps are.  They are all connected and doing the same thing. It is odd to me the NSCA is concerned with licensing personal trainers but not strength and conditioning coaches with athletic departments at universities etc.  The reason is there is not the dollars involved as there are relatively few strength and conditioning coaches compared to personal trainers.  The NSCA, truth be told, has never really cared much about athletes and coaches.  They care about money.
