I want to put up a sign that says “Dear New Customer – You need to do Vibration Training twice a week minimum, three times is even better – Once every “blue moon” is not going to give you results!” 

In fact, “Twice a Week Minimum” is on our Basic Rules @ Vibra-Train sign and we have many hundreds of regular customers every week but I’m still getting those who want to come in occasionally when they feel like it or “have time”.  Most of the people with this mindset are doing no other fitness activities so maybe they are just responding to the message that we must exercise but feeling good about signing up is not the same as actually doing it!

We make time for what is important to us – how important is your health, fitness, strength?

On a positive note – I’ve had a busy morning at the Vibra-Train studio with lots of newbies and they’ve been from all ages and people types: A rather large man, a slim athletic girl who came with her father who is a new customer, two women who are health professionals, a 30’s mom who came with her friend who is a current customer, and a young lady from a local business are just some.

It’s exciting to see so many different people trying us out – young and old, fit to very unfit and from every type of occupation.

We’ve turned a corner – Vibration Training in New Zealand is a now a known and accepted form of fitness and exercise training!

It is going in my house single story cement floors covered with carpet.

I have tried pivotal not lineal.

My concern with the Dkn is that the G force is only Max 6

isnt that a little low compared to the others which are almost double

I am trying to decide between a dkn x3g lineal max gforce 6 max ampl 3mm 2 year warranty

and a noblerex k1  max ampl 13mm 1 year warranty 13  g and a vibrapro 5500 max ampl 13, 2.8 hp 17g max  motor.5 year motor warranty both of these are tos machines

home use

any comments welcome

Power Plate seems to have redone their website .  I just glanced at it but it appears their Scientific and Medical Advisory Board no longer exists or else is not featured prominently on the site.   They are hyping both Super Bowl teams using the Power Plate but I clicked on this and it did not say much.

Hello all ,

This is a question for guys. I just bought a hyper vibe machine a few weeks ago. To begin with I only stood on it and trained. Yesterday I sat on the platform for the first time and felt the vibration in my back and groin area. Can you guys tell me if it is ok for men to sit on the platform and train as it really vibrates the groin area pretty vigrourously. Will it affect the functioning, if u know what I mean. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I have been using Vibrogym domestic for 12 months until I had bilateral knee replacements 6 months ago.    My surgeon, GP and physiotherapist have all said they would get back to me as to whether I can continue using it but havent, probably because they don't know much about vibration training.  When I google it, knee arthroscopy comes up with a yes but I have still not found out about knee replacements.  My common sense says no as over time the cement binding would jiggle loose.  Does anyone know if I can use the machine again as if not I will sell it and move on.

Thank you for your comments

I am looking forward to buy a used fit vibe excell platform, do you know where I can find one, 

please let me know,

Golden Rules @ Vibra-Train

On our studio wall we have a list of non-negotiable rules. They serve to make the training experience enjoyable and effective.  They are also useful as reminders to customers of why we do things the way we do.

The very first rule is: You MUST eat before your Vibra-Train session

Here’s a link to a fuller explanation of this rule

http://www.vibration-training-advice.com/why-eat-before-a-vibration-training-workout

I’m putting this up as a reminder to Instructors (please ask your clients if they have eaten) and to customers and intending customers who read this forum.  The simplest way to eat before training is to eat a banana. It comes in its own self sealed protective casing, its non messy (except for infants) and as its high in both simple and complex carbs – it’s the simple carbs that are needed for your workout. The sugars in the banana readily enter your bloodstream and there we have it – instantly available energy source which means you won’t deplete your blood sugars after the first two or three positions; it’s easier to hold perfect form as you work through the program; you won’t become dizzy or light headed and I won’t have to pick you up off the floor; or next time you come in you won’t have to admit that you hadn’t eaten but survived the program session and then felt terrible or fainted as you walked back to work.

It is the Instructor’s responsibility to ensure you eat before your session and to refuse to let you train if you haven’t. I’ve just sent an elderly man to a local cafe. I offered him the money to by a banana from our car-parking money jar. He declined and said he would eat and then return but he was rather annoyed and replied that he was intelligent and was listening but that I needed a blood sugar monitor to prove this to him.  I’m a little amused by his comments – in my first week as a Vibra-Train instructor I saw the worst of what can happen when a fit, healthy person hasn’t eaten.  I hope he returns but I care more about him training in a safe, effective way. I cannot be talked out of this first basic rule and all instructors need to be the same.
