I just want to say that I recently purchased a Power Plate my 5. I never really had a good feeling about the product and after plenty of research on here and discussion with Lloyd I decided to send it back.

I ended up purchasing a Wave Air Reflex product. It really is a different machine altogether. I could tell right away when I started on this one that the Power Plate was an inferior product. Not to mention I received a call from Dr. Sidhu and he was willing to go over the machine. I am not implying that you have to get a Wave but this is the kind of quality and customer service that I was looking for in a product. Not to mention it is all steel and not plastic and cheap like the PP. The rep at PP told me that the weight calibration is over rated and that you really do not lose energy.

Anyhow I just wanted to share my experience with everyone and say thanks to Lloyd and company for what they are doing.

thanks for the quick answer folks...

lloyd shaw... thats the type of pivotal machine that we are looking for... the ones we tried like that had no head jarring at all... the others all were very uncomfortable....

had anyone had any experience with the Progression WBVMs ... they look very similar to the NitroFit units

Vibraflex, around five years ago when I briefly represented them in the U.S., was roughly 9000 to 11,900 US dollars.  That is basically a Galileo with one motor.   I do not think there is a better pivotal so this is top of the line and you can go down from there.  They also had leasing options for people at that time.

looking for answers out of Canada... or relating to available machines in Canada... but any advice will help

The more read the more I like about vibration training... and the more I get confused as to which machine I should purchase...

first of all we are not looking to bulk up... we are both over the half century, in pretty good shape, and under 150 lbs.  we are looking at a machine that will help with some weight loss, toning and overall flexibility... I suffer from a bit of piriformis syndrome and think it would assist me there as well... the machine I believe that would be best suited to us would be the pivot type. I have been on  both types and quite frankly the lineal ones actually do shake my head uncomfortably... no matter how flexed my knees are... 

in Canada I have used the TZone 1500 and found it very comfortable... but they are a distance away for service... I have access to the Progression VT1000 but see that it is listed at this site as one of the low power pivotal machines... does anyone know if one is any better than than the other... and can you tell me why

what would a good premium pivotal machine be... and what should I expect to pay for one

please dont tell me I should be using a lineal... as I said... they wrack my head and are out of the equation

The Australian Fitness and Health Expo in Sydney would be a great place for Vibra-Train to exhibit (when the time is right). Along with FitX it’s attended not only by athletes and the general public but by owners of fitness studios, gyms, beauty and health spas and more.  Many visitors were in great shape from presumably many hours of weights at the gym – they’d love the look and power of the machines. There were others who looked like they didn’t exercise at all and Vibra-Train would be excellent for them; at a fitness show they were obviously looking for more than the giveaway protein drinks.

Hello, I live in the UK and I was thinking of getting a Reviber Plus which has been reviewed in a national newspaper and scored 5 stars out of a possible 5. Please could you tell me if this seems legitimate.

The specs are ... Dimensions 62cm x 50cm x 18cm height, Amplitude 12mm, Frequency 0 to 30 Hz

Rated Power 300W, Maximum Load 200kg, CE mark, motor guaranteed for 5 years and other parts for 2 years. 

Thank you. 

I did tell her that. Trust me Lloyd i cant write on this forum the words i said,lol.

She even said he was just protecting his job....

Lloyd, you’ve quoted from a Pubmed article

“"Whole-body vibration training using single-frequency methods has been reported to improve bone mineral density. However, the intensities can exceed safe levels and have drawn unfavorable comments from subjects.”

Which seems to be saying that intensities can exceed safe levels

So just to clarify this it’s important to read on to the next statement that of the study -

“The stress levels were within the published levels during walking and stair-climbing and descending but below the stress levels during jogging.”

We have to ask who said the intensities could be unsafe – remember that was my biggest query when I started out as a customer –

It was Clinton Rubin who said this while marketing his own low intensity plate. The study proved him wrong!

FIVE YEARS OF VIBRATION TRAINING – Here’s the results

Each of the photos was taken impromptu – no special preparation or building up. No lighting or studio preparation and using a simple point and shoot camera.

Thanks for fibromyalgia info and Johnny come lately info.  It would be interesting to know if the Johnny come lately is a marketer or academic.  Sometimes these people seem to be both marketers and academics.

Hello there,

As someone who is considering the purchase of a whole body vibration excerciser, I would be most grateful for your feedback.

Im a woman whos extremely deconditioned and who has quite a bit of weight to lose. At this stage i would not be able to do any squats or lunges on the machine, the most I would be able to do at this point is bend my knees a bit and balance on the machine. I am also hoping that at least standing on the machine will help with lymphatic drainage and reduce the swelling in my legs.

I have heard about senior citizens and other disabled and deconditioned folks using the machine with good results, but I would really appreciate a frank and honest answer here. Can an obese person obtain any strengthening and weight loss benefit from this machine or am I not a good candidate.

Also have you heard anything good or bad about the "iFit" whole body vibrator,  its a triangular oscillation vibrator with a motor power of 1000 watts. Theyre selling the item on eBay and the auction listing has a ton of info but naturally that doesnt guarantee reputability. I can email you the link to the auction if you want.

Thanks in advance for your help...Im looking forward to beginning a healthier lifestyle but I dont want to get ripped off in the process.

Can you use Vibra Training if you are pregnant

Thanks Lloyd,

I just want to be clear. So the Wave machines that are on the website are all steel except for the lowest model. I will be sending back my MY5 and getting the Wave Air Reflex. It is all steel construction and according to the site is rated commercial level. Thanks again for your input and advice.
