Add a new dimension to your workout routine with the Power Plate my5 vibration training machine. The my5 employs a technology called Acceleration Training to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, thereby enhancing your overall fitness in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, three times per week. Acceleration Training offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation to a variety of other measurable outcomes, including increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness, and faster recovery from injury.

Acceleration Training works by creating instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions, as the Power Plate machines actually oscillate in all three directions, exactly as the human body is designed to do. This means that one can improve functional force (stability, strength, or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and condition use mass--as seen in methods with weight machines and free weights. Power Plate machines, by contrast, use the second half of the law of motion equation: they apply acceleration to the body while keeping mass (i.e., your body weight) the same. The result is that you work against a far greater influence, or "load," of gravity in every movement you perform. Power Plate machines are a great alternative for people who enjoy an active lifestyle but don't have the time to perform lengthy workouts three or more times a week.

This particular model, the Power Plate my5, makes Acceleration Training accessible for use in the home, office, or just about anywhere else. The machine is smaller than the company's commercial models, but still offers all the features you need for efficient workouts, including high/low vertical displacement settings, quick-start programs for strength, stretching, massage, and relaxation, and a remote control for easy of use. The my5, which offers a maximum load of 300 pounds, measures 27 by 59 by 35 inches (W x H x D), weighs 200 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty on parts and a 180-day warranty on labor.

4.0 out of 5 stars This really works, April 4, 2008

By

This review is from: Power Plate my5 Vibration Training Machine (Sports)

I was skeptical about this really working. I researched it and also bought a MY3. The MY3 is too small for many of the exercises you will want to do, so I took it back. However this model is just big enough for almost all of the exercises. For some of them you would want the commercial model. The nice thing about this one is that it makes it easier to select the settings for a particular activity and it has a remote control. However the pre-set settings for strength -- at least on ours - are not good for beginners. It goes for 30 seconds at the high amplitude. You should progress at the lower amplitude with more sets at 30 seconds and then longer times with those sets before progressing to the shorter times at the low amplitude. I have seen impressive results in strength improvements and my wife who has bad knees has seen noticeable improvement in reducing pain and in improving strength. It also improves my flexibility in my hamstrings. I wish we had the commercial model but this one costs enough. I don't know about the other vibration trainers. But I know this one really works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the cost!, April 30, 2009

Judy Bridges "FitGal" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Power Plate my5 Vibration Training Machine (Sports)

Initially, I was put off by the price tag of this machine. Paying so much for a piece of fitness equipment was something I'd never considered before, especially when I can go jogging or go to the gym for next-to-nothing. But a friend of mine bought a My3 model and had been bugging me to come try it. Finally I did, and I was completely blown away! This machine absolutely does what the manufacturer says it does, making your muscles contract and giving you the most amazing workout.
I was immediately convinced that I needed to have a Power Plate in my own home, but first I did a lot of research on the Power Plate web site about all the benefits - like how it increases your bone density, helps with circulation and hormones, etc. And after looking at all the different models, I decided I really wouldn't be happy with a My3 for very long, so I had to go with the My5. The surface that you stand on is bigger so it's a lot easier to do more types of exercises. And I like that I can adjust the frequency of the vibration for when my strength improves. And that the My5 comes with a remote so you don't always have to be right next to the console to start a new set.
I've had my My5 for a month now and couldn't be happier. I was in good shape before, but I'm on my way to being in great shape thanks to this machine. You will not regret buying this machine!

This review is from: Power Plate my5 Vibration Training Machine (Sports)

i love powerplate but what i really love are whole body vibration machines. i am currently a member of a gym in los angeles that deal solely in vibration and powerplate machines and I have gotten fantasic results with minimal effort. if you live in the la area and are wanting to lose weight and get healthy get to fbe spa. if not, I definitely suggest purchasing one if you can afford it. I know that fbe sells them at their site [...], and I was told they are the cheapest retailer but I haven't done enough research. But trust me they work!
