What is Whole Body Vibration Training (WBV)?

    What is the VibroGym?

    Whole Body Vibraton (WBV) is becoming increasingly more popular with health and fitness professionals, atheletes and celebrities around the world

    The VibroGym is a serious piece of anaerobic gym equipment, which has been used successfully over many years with top athletes and cosmonauts and has proven results. Unlike conventional training, it will work every muscle in the body. It does this by transferring vibrations to your body. Your body’s muscles automatically adjust to the stimuli responding with a stretch reflex. Here are just some of the benefits (click this link for a full list of benefits):

    Improved flexibility, muscle strength, balance, bone density, internal systems, eg: enhanced blood flow and lymph flow (which helps detox your body), improvement in skin condition and reduction of cellulite, increased Metabolic Rate and it will even give a deep tissue massage!

    Please note that before March 2004, the VibroGym was formally known as Powerplate, so research mentioning Powerplate has actually been performed on the high quality Dutch engineered and constructed VibroGym platform. The product now marketed as Powerplate is a different product.

    Between 10 and 15 minutes VibroTraining® can work on your whole body in the same way as a 45min to 1 hour gym workout.

    Sport and Fitness

    VibroTraining is the ideal workout for athletes who want to improve their performance & the benefits can out-weigh that of traditional training since VibroTraining targets almost 100% of muscles (compared to 40-60% in conventional training).  This is because the dynamic, low frequency training also activates deeper lying muscles that are rarely used.
    VibroTraining is also effective for rehabilitation after sport accidents/injuries.

    The g-force experienced by the body is more than the g-force experienced in a Formula 1 racing car!  For those athletes still unconvinced by VibroTraining, it can be proved that you can be brought to ‘form failure’ within 2 mins.

    Health and Beauty

    A combination of exercises and massage stimulates the metabolism, improves the skin and muscle blood circulation, and prevents cellulite.  VibroTraining will tone muscle and, along with a sensible eating plan, help you to lose weight.  It will also help flexibility.

    VibroTraining can also be used for skin and muscle regeneration.  It includes dynamic as well as isometric exercises and uses high and low vibration frequencies. HEALTH - including MS, ME, arthritis, back pain, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, rheumatism and other diseases of the bones and joints, diabetes mellitus, treatment of pain and stiffness, RSI prevention, Spina Bifida, & treatment of varicose veins.

    Anti Aging

    With a combination of gentle training and healthy vibration massage, VibroGym is able to meet all the expectations and requests of these customers. Positive effects include an enhanced blood circulation, a more active metabolism, and an improved bone density. The regeneration of bones and muscles is especially important since women, in particular, start losing bone density from age 35.

    Business Sport

    This target group is a very demanding one. Outstanding results are expected in minimal time frames.  For these customers VibroTraining is a perfect solution: A 10 - 15 minute session is claimed to be equivalent to a 45min to 1 hour session of conventional training and in this time, the entire body can be exercised.

    With static training ‘isometric’ muscular effort is induced without the need of movement.  In VibroTraining terms this is known as ‘isotonic’ since the muscles are continuously contracting & relaxing due to the vibrations, despite the limb(s) being held still.

    This kind of training has the advantage that it is a gentle, very effective method and sweating is avoided.  Stress symptoms, which are rather common in this target group, can be treated effectively as VibroTraining releases ‘happy hormones’!
