David…

Semms you have most of your answers. Yes the increased weight of the unit changes the workout to a heavier vibration.

Thanks Gabriel. This is more like a chat line than a blog! The Manager/Owner? of Hypergravity just rang from California, Josh Hayon. Very nice man. He feels I would enjoy/benefit more from the Delux version because the control panel is better designed, the freq. settings go up to 73 in 1hz increments, they get great feed back from clients addicted to the auto programs, it looks better, and is a more sturdy build. It also weighs alot more (190lbs compaired to 110lbs).They subsidize its freight. Might the weight diff. make a diff. also in the transmitted force of the vibrations?

Unless you weigh 301 lbs or more, I cannot see the need to go to the newer platform. The settings recommended on this site are avail. on the older unit. Unless the technology has changed of course. I think they are both still the same basic systems. Again, Lloyd should be able to let you know if there is a difference.

Good Luck.

Hi Gabriel,
Thanks so much for your prompt reply!, asspecially since Im dying to get started. As per add.,(still havent spocken to the rep yet) the Domestic has freq. settings from 25 to 60hz., increments not mentioned, timer settings from 15 to 120secs., and a max. load of 300lbs.. The Delux version has freq. settings from 15 to 73hz.,adjustable by 4hz. increments, timer settings from 0 to 190secs., and a max. load of 325lbs. It also has 6 automatic programs. Other than the above they seem roughly the same, including platform size. Worth the price diff.? The Vibrogym Pro is much more expensive than both, unfortunately.
Ill let you know what the rep/manager has to add.
Im so grateful for your continuing help.
David

Hi David. I think the difference there is that the delux is the newer design with a different panel. It can also be adjusted by 1 hz increments, from 1-60 hz. Whether the base is larger, which would be worth it if it is, is something you should ask Josh.

I think Lloyd can possibly add a bit more here though. I don’t think the frequency adjustment alone is worth it as lower frequencies are essentially useless. The original personal unit is a good machine and affordable. The vibrogym is much pricier no?

Hi Guys,
I will,once again, availe myself of your expertesse. Progress has been slow over here hunting down a domestic machine suitable both for therapy and training. To make a long story less long, I can get my hands on(with the banks help) a hypergravity machine, either the domestic or domestic delux model. I am not sure what the differance between them is in terms of performance but the price diff. will be $500+. I hope to speak with the sales rep/manager soon. I believe the Hypergravity Domestic model has been mentioned favourably elsewhere and I was wondering what your preference would be between the 2. The only other posability for a training machine would be a Vibrogym Pro, but there is a limit to the banks generosity…
Thanks,
David.

To everybody…..

If animosity, arguments, unflattering comments etc… put you off this sit in any way could you please consider the following.

This is an online community of real people, some with strong opinions, which we in fact promote the airing of. Why ? Because once we start asking people to hold back we start entering the PC censorshiped area of some other sites ( eg . blogcritics ) were not upsetting someone becomes more important than the truth. It sounds like a bunch of lawyers having a conversation.

Opinions and the truth can sometimes be raw, and by trying to be too nice, sometimes its impact can be lost.

“Controversy” creates interest.

So I must apologies for anyone who sometimes feels uncomfortable with the banter on here, but its always going to be a roller coaster ride as long as passionate people are contributing, and personally I would have it no other way.
