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.

Casey, I checked things out for you.

Revibe, Alberta is operating again as a vibration training studio.  If you are near them give them a call.

BUT – be aware – as Lloyd said, in the past they trained people in their studio using LINEAL, Vibrogym machines. 

Then they started selling PIVOTAL,  Hypervibe machines directly to the public and through trade shows and fairs and at that time they started telling people that Lineal machines were very dangerous (they’re not – it was simply marketing talk). On the Hypervibe website it makes claims about Lineal versus Pivotal – pushing Pivotal as the only safe option (again, simply marketing. You are very welcome to contact me if want to discuss this).

NOW: When you go to see the machines please ask them (given what they have said anti – lineal machines)

WHY DO THEY HAVE  LINEAL, VIBROGYM MACHINES IN THEIR NEW STUDIO?

 (I’ve seen a picture showing both pivotal Hypervibe and  lineal Vibrogym machines in the room, with the Vibrogym turned on.  Based on their reply you can decide if you trust them and want to buy off them.

So from what I can tell, the Galileo machines are very good.  I read somewhere that the DKN Technology machines are also very good, but not as expensive.  What do you know about these, and what do you know about the different models  XG10, XG5 Pro, and the XG3.  I am planning on using it for a good workout and stretching benefits, not therapy.

Hello Lloyd

Might I be of assistance to Casey here in Canada should she need direction to studios. Feel free to reach out via our site MotionHeath.ca

Sorry dont know what happened to my message. Was reading online about  Revibe studio in Canada. What do you know about them 

Lloyd,

I like the comment about the obesity epidmic. Unfortunately we live in a strange time where people expect to be helped without thinking twice about helping themselves. Most government systems and programs are designed to protect people from themselves.  In a country likes the United States we tend to take the ready... fire... aim approach.  We are now reeling from the side effects caused by the additives and hormones in our foods.  All of which have been allowed by the FDA"food and drug Admin".

 The problem is big business spending money to keep the decision makers at bay.  They can afford to fight a bill against their products that allows them to continue using harmful ingredients to produce cheaper products. Think of this anology.... Samsung has no problem paying Apple a  billion dollars for a patent infringement which allowed them to make 10 billion dollars.  Its cheaper for big brand food companies to pay out the cancer law suits than it is to produce better quality foods. The big fat obese picture of course is wieghing out evils that eat at thier bottom line ....NO PUNS INTENDED THERE.....okay okay one more .....here it comes..  The only people CUTTING THE FAT are the food companies looking for bigger profits.  The fat being truly healthy ingredients that increase product costs.

Just like the vibration world there is so much misinformation and deceptive marketing that lead the average consumer to beleive that they can continue eating crappy products.  There also comes a point where socio economic factors play into this.  If you are on a tight budget then you buy cheaper food.  In my country... USA.. the cheap stuff is grocery store junk and fast food.  Its become such a problem that the U.S. government is now limiting the amount of junk food that can be purchased with  government subsidized food stamps . In some many words they realized that they were indirectly promoting obesity by subsizing food cards for those on welfare. Quite frankly I am amazed that they just realized that their programs would backfire on them.   

Heres a thought. What if we decided to limit health insurance contingent on body weight proportionate to ones average size give or take a few kilos.  Be it socialized healthcare or privatized.  If we told people that they will have to come out of pocket more if they dont meet certain health criteria on thier own. Its simple really stay in better shape or pay more or possibly be uninsurable.  We all know that obesity leads to a myriad of illnesses.  It eventually becomes a burden on the health care system and drives the cost up for everyone else.  I am frankly sick of paying for someones healthcare who cant figure out how to eat sensibly .  They should all be singled out and grouped in a separate plan that forces them to compensate for thier hazardous eating habits.  

What do you think
