Oh hell yes, cant wait for the big machines to be released the suspense is killing me....I will be your guinea pig lol

Hi LLoyd thank you for your reply, I noticed a reply you sent to pearly and was wondering what you meant by other

machine designs that fix the cellulite on the front of the thighs

Here’s an example of how basically lower powered  the PowerPlate brand machines are and how “anything goes” their program for using the machine can be

 – Or maybe I should say –

Here’s an example of Stupidity as their machines are much lower force than the Vibra-Train I use but still could cause injury if used without care and real knowledge of what to do and how to do it.

I have a brochure about a PowerPlate class for fitness instructors and group ex trainers. The class is open with no previous technical knowledge or experience needed.  It is just one hour of theory and 30 minutes of Group Exercise on the platforms.

After this 90 minutes session the brochure tells me –

You will understand the science, applications and adaptation ofAcceleration Training (TM) with Vibration Training machines. You will learn how to effectively design and teach a vibration training Group Ex class. You will understand and be able to apply the methodology of vibration training.

The session is part of a conference so the trainers will attend 9 other classes covering personal training, business, medical and more yet they become proficient in PowerPlate Group Ex in just one group class ???

By contrast Vibra-Train instructors (including those who are fully qualified personal trainers) spend hours and hours learning theory - concepts of the machines, the methodology, the effects on the human body and have to be able to answer questions and discuss all this; plus many more hours being put through the Safety Program themselves, then instructing other Vibra-Train staff, their friends and family while being constantly corrected in technique before they are ever let instruct customers.  Then they are followed up – forever.  It’s reassuring to know you will be corrected and even reprimanded and that you have all the support in the world from Vibra-Train directors and top trainers. 

Yes, I thought Scott Hopson had disappeared after he failed to answer very basic questions Lloyd and I asked a few years ago while he was being called Power Plate WORLDWIDE EDUCATOR.  Scott was brought on a website then being run by Mark Verstegen and Athletes Performance called Core Performance and would not answer simple questions.  He vanished while Lloyd and I were kicked off the site for asking questions. 

John Weatherly

what a loose unit, would love to get him on a force 5 VibraTrain just to teach him a lesson in true vibration training...and hopefully snap his arms off so he cant push his weird excercises on the public.

One of our sponsored professional athletes was in the Vibra-Train studio this morning.  He hasn’t been for a few months during a rest time but he’s coming up for more competitions.

Rather than work out on his own on big machines in the back room I asked him to stay in the main studio to check his form and ensure he was getting into and maintaining perfect position.

He got it wrong right from the start – enthusiasm is no guarantee of results! 

Results come from following a strict program of perfect, safe poses on the Vibration Platform and it’s the instructor’s job to ensure this is followed. 

In the Vibra-Train studios no customer is allowed to use the higher level machines until they prove they are fully able at the lower level.

The athlete did a solid workout managing two minutes instead of one on some positions so we challenged him with extra upper body poses and he left exhausted.  He’ll soon build up and be back on the higher level machines.

Yes Philippa, almost 5000 individual visitors, not repeats

Its great to see just how influential and how quickly this site is or has become the number 1 respected authority on Vibration Training and the impact it is having worldwide on the sale of honest machinery. Congrats Guys and thanks for the help and assistance received over the years.

Hi Di

You are right abt the muscle pain after the demo session. I went for a demo session I now feel minor aches in my mujscle. Nothing major. as you suggested I will take it easy until my body gets used to the vibration machine.

Thanks

An example of great results – a guy who’s been coming into Vibra-Train for just a few months has gained muscle and strength and lost an amazing 10kg.  He combined Vibration Training with a fairly strict eating plan (with some cheat days) and got the results he wanted using the Vibra-Train Safety Program.

Hi Lloyd,

I think I may have found you and your site in the nick of time, just want some general advice looking at opening a 5 plate UK studio and until doing careful research was looking to purchase Power Plate Pro6.  I have further researched and I belive that Vibrogym are the plates that I can afford and that most importantly have good reports and will get clients results.  I also heard good reports about Bodyshaker but Im unsure of the affordability of this brand as yet.  Please can you let me know your input on my thoughts thanks 

Hi Guys

one more question. My wife gets mild seizures once in a while. I was wondeirng of my wife can use the vibration machine.

Thanks

Hi Lloyd, this is Cynthia.

i just received the answer from Hypervibe

The one machine our HyperVibe compares to is www.galileouk.co.uk It is the only true commercial pivotal in the world.

Ours offers the same performance, but is a home machine. We retail for $2499 and our new 2011 model will be $2599 available late January.

What do you think, it is a good machine

Waiting for your answer..

Thanks

Un beso. Cynthia

Also just to make sure readers of this forum know – Lloyd Shaw does not sell home Vibration Machines. I do not currently sell any Vibration machines. I don’t get any “kickback” or reward for recommending any brand. On this forum we prefer not to recommend a brand or specific machine but to give information that helps people choose what is best for them, given their health and fitness status, the results they want to see, and the money they have to spend.

To all - When buying a machine for home use please ask the salesperson, “Do you use this machine yourself?” You’ll find most are just marketers who wouldn’t dream of using the cheap machines they sell because they know they don’t work for fitness. The salesguy might look good but he probably spends hours in the gym or uses a much higher quality vibration machine.

I could have made a lot of money selling cheap, almost useless machines because despite writing many articles on my website, www.vibeplus.com explaining why you shouldn’t buy a cheap, pivotal machine and expect great fitness results, I get emails and website questions asking me where to buy one or to send information about buying one from me.

It makes me angry to see people get ripped  off - “If the picture of one brand of machine looks identical to the picture of another brand of machine … it is the same - just rebranded”

Or to quote from Lloyd Shaw’s article: http://www.vibration-training-advice.com/why-is-buying-a-vibration-platform-just-like-buying-a-vehicle

If it looks like a Skateboard , it’s a Skateboard.
If it looks like a Truck , it’s a Truck - Now to the question again, "Why cant I buy a great Truck for only $1000 ? "

Thanks Di Heap.
