Sydney – accommodation help needed

My son is moving to Sydney end of January to study (PhD) at UNSW.  He’s looking for a small 1 bedroom unit ($200-350) in the Kensington or surrounding area or a flatmate situation with mature (20’s) working or quiet students.  Or if anyone can offer him a room for a month while he gets set up with accommodation, would be great.  He wont wreck your place and unlike me, he doesn’t party.  Please reply in here or email me through Lloyd at Vibra-Train, thanks.

Thanks folks for the kind words,  kinda funny seeing yourself on Youtube.

 Hope everybody has a good holiday season.  I am working right through at the studio and mortuary but will still enjoy some time outside in the sun. 

Hi Lloyd, what a cool bundle of videos....

Thanks a lot

You can get to all the videos by clicking on the “More from VibraTrain” link at right of the video you are viewing or Subscribe to our VibraTrain channel.  Some of the videos are taking ages to show up in a search. I’m told they will eventually, it’s just how Google and YouTube works.  (Volume is a little low on Part 1, my apologies. The rest I adjusted)

Links for them all are

Hi Keith

Have a great Christmas/New Year and be good at least some of the time.  Just wait for the next series of videos early next year and then you’ll be able to spot Lloyd.  And no the other one isn’t me, I’m not quite that ancient ( even if she does look great)  – just making sure you know *laughs*

Ahahaha, hi Keith i think Lloyd is the blonde one.Lol.

Happy holidays to you and your family

Mike

Great videos Lloyd ..... right time ...... right place.... Well done 

Just one small point .... Lloyd, are you the one with the dark hair or the blonde. 

Couldnt get to videos 1 and 2 any ideas.

Dont suppose one could buy a Vibratrain T-shirt could one.........

In case I dont make it on here again this year may I take the opportunity to wish all a Merry Xmas and a healthy happy and prosperous New Year.

Lloyd also to thank you for all the input over the past two and a half years it has been much appreciated and to Di and Mike as well, thank you.

Hi,

The videos are awesome...

Also, placed order for the Wave today.

Tom

Loving the VibraTrain T.V.

So easy to understand for the general public, Well done Lloyd.

Part 6 - the final segment in our first series of Vibration Training Videos is now live on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD63aNW998E

In this one Lloyd Shaw (Mr Vibra-Train) talks about “Give it a go!”,  where to go to try vibration training, what to do before you go and what to expect during the session.

The other parts are all there too, see the link in previous post or just click on the VibraTrain name by the this video.

There’s so much information contained in these 6 videos I encourage everyone to view them. For people wanting to learn more about vibration training its all there.

For trainers and studio owners I can guarantee you’ll either learn something new or you’ll get such a good review of your knowledge it will help you explain it to customers. 

The final word from Lloyd in this video when asked “... if it’s so good, what’s the catch?”  He replies; “It’s hard work!”  In other parts of the series he’s quick to point out that; “anyone can do it, we even have an 84year old who does a 3 minute (side handlebar assisted) super-squat.”

Please watch our videos on http://www.youtube.com/user/VibraTrain to learn more about Vibration Training. 

At the bottom left corner under EACH video you will see a Star Rating system.  If you have a Google account or YouTube username please Log In and rate EACH video – 5 stars would be great! Thanks.

It does mean that only one arm gets worked at a time, but really that is the only limitation.  I think you will find it will open up much wider variations of that pose , and help you get the best out of the machine.

Thanks Lloyd. That is an interesting idea. I will give it a go.

Lloyd,

I was wondering if you had any input for me. I am working through the safety program on the vibraflex and am bumping into a slight snag with the pushup. The need to utilize a wider hand position is pushing into amplitudes that are very difficult for my patients and clients with limited strength to hold. The narrow grip, which is much more tolerable works well but is less anatomically desireable for targeting the pecs as they are shortened. I have built an accessory that utilizes a wide plank and two low profile feet set at position 2. This seems to work  well, but requires rather thick matting on the feet to stay in place at higher frequencies. This, obviously, dampens the vibration. I recall you mentioning some ideas you had thought up for the upper body positions on pivotal and was curious whether or not you would care to elaborate.

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Thanks :)

Good Luck Tom.  :-) 

By the way about the TZone. Driving to my Chiropractor today I heard a radio commercial (they're pretty active on the radio) about wining free workout coupons (or something like that missed the beginning) and their motto at the end of the announcement. Getting an hour workout in 10 min. What a load.

Tom

Thanks Lloyd,

I know I'm asking for impossible comparisons. Martin from Bodyshaker got back to me. However the disadvantage of being so far away from their factory, exchange, shipping, duty and taxes... puts the Bodyshaker about 1.5K CDN more expensive then Wave. Which is local to Canada. So I'm going with the Wave.

Also I spoke with my Chiropractor and showed him the safety program printout. He said because of my condition where the disk is protruding in the center and in the back of the spine cord he would stay away from any exercises that puts undo pressure on my back while leaning forward (he used more fancy terms, this is my explanation). So that translated to staying away from stretch 6, Shoulder Press.

Thank you so much for all the help and time you've taken to answer my questions. I might bug you in the future once I get my machine and progress. I'll monitor the discussion board ;)

Tom

Why does this industry get more than its fair share of A-holes. They must constantly be on the look out for new things and confusion, so they can sneak in and make some money.

My apologies, it was not Dan Fivey, Connelly.

Your suspicions are correct Lloyd. We are helping a Studio get set up in St.Johns and he had correspondence with Fivey are recently as this summer out in Eastern Canada. We advised him to steet clear and he ended up going with the Wave.

Hello,

I've been looking at the specs and just by weight alone the Vibrogym domestic is coming in lighter then the Wave pro. Lloyd your comment pretty much confirmed what I was leaning towards. Thanks.

DebPalletier : Thank you for the additional avenues and information.

By the way Bodyshaker contact Martin Lodewijk got back to me asking for more info (ie. where to ship and such) so that he can give me a quote. He says I can buy the Bodyshaker Jr. from the factory directly. I'll see what the price will be. The additional costs like duty and shipping might make it unattractive but I'll see what he quotes.

What I'm wondering is what you guys think on how Bodyshaker Jr. compares to Wave Contour Plus. Looking at the specs alone Wave still looks better to me. Lloyd mentioned quality on the Bodyshaker and its recommended on this site so thats why I'm still debating between the two.

Thanks for putting up with me :)

PS. Lloyd thank you for coming up with the safety program. I'm sure you've heard that one many times over...

Tom

Hi again Tom.

I didnt mind the Wave in fact we refer business their way for those looking for home lineal machines. We use Vibrogym Pros in our studio and you cannot compare these to a home machine. We are not a Vibrogym dealer, just a user of their equipment. I havent had a chance to try a Vibrogym Domestic and just thought you may have an opportunity to get on one in your area to compare to the Wave.

  We always recommend getting on as many machines as you can. You have to feel the difference for yourself and thru this groups recommendations and what is available in your area decide for yourself. I will say that the Wave has a reputation here for good service which is important especially to a home user.

Contact the companies directly and they will direct you where you can try out a machine. They both know us we own a studio called ReVibe in Alberta. Let me know how it goes.

Hi DebPalletier,

Thanks for the information. I'm curious what you thought of the Wave Contour Plus? I've spoke with the company and they seem genuinely helpful. But I'm curious what you though of the machines potential. About the Vibrogym Domestic, sounds like you're suggesting that it could be "better" then Wave.

Unfortunately I never personally tried the Wave so even if there is a Vibrogym close to Ottawa I have no point of reference to compare. If there is one close by though and it would be possible to try it I'm all for it.Please let me know.

Lloyd .... any thoughts about Vibrogym Domestic v.s Wave Contour Plus?

I cant imagine anyone not loving you Lloyd...especially after seeing the facebook picture of you in that dress.
