I am looking at purchasing a http://www.vibrostation.co.uk/ – I have trawled through the site and understand the difference between linear and pivotal etc … this machine would be for home use (both hubbie and I have aches and pains, I have bad hips). This machine is cheap compared to other models, which is attractive (I have read the articles about getting what you pay for )

Does anyone have one or can comment on the build quality?

cheers,
krista

The DKN is generally considered a therapy platform (medium energy lineal) and operates at a lower amplitude. The HG 360 (high energy lineal) operates at a larger amplitude and is categorized as a training platform. Both are capable of improving muscle strength, but if “bulking up” is what you are looking to accomplish, the 360 would be a better choice. The extent of your elbow issue may also be something that needs to be considered before training though so look to use the platform for therapeutic purposes as well. Either one can be successful with regards to improving blood flow, flexibility and general soft tissue mobility. Both are manufactured well and comprised of steel.

I am a relatively fit 30 year old male and I am interested in purchasing a vertical wbv device to replace at least part of my weight training routine due to elbow pain. I have narrowed down my options to the DKN XG10 or the Hypergravity 360 and I was wondering which machine was better for strength training? Any information you could provide would be appreciated. Thank You

Iana, Are you joking?

You are welcome to ask questions but please make the effort to read some of the articles first. Even if you type crazyfit into the search box you will find all the answers you need.

Copied from the article above that you have asked this question on:

“Low Speed Pivotal”

“These make up about 98% of the Pivotal machines on the market and are almost always accompanied by fake specs which is a shame because they do have fantastic uses, but mainly in positive therapy benefits, just NOT weight loss and fitness which they are usually sold as to the unsuspecting public. These units seldom go over 12hz in tests but are sold at much higher speeds and values. Cheap to build with some very popular units being sold in China for as little as $80 and passed on as premium devices.”

So now you decide – Is this machine going to give you fat-loss?? reduce cellulite??

Lloyd, I am in the market to get a WBV, I saw one that is a side to side WBV from CrazyFit Massage. Is that a good unit? I’d like it for fat loss, bone density and cellulite.. and am now confused which is a good unit to get, and I don’t have much to spend on it.

Is there a gym in CA that has these if I can’t one for home use? Let me know please as I am searching the net. Am in Los Angeles area.

thanks!

Kimera….

What the machines are called ( that week ) or what the adverts say is NOT important. The review section and the articles on this site telling YOU how to pick a machine is all that counts. Education is protection.

eg..
http://www.vibrationtraining.net/2009/01/vibration-training-vs-vibration-therapy

One of about 5 articles you needed to read so you do not get ripped off.

So far you have only named Therapy machines which are light and cheap to build, but you keep stating you want a Training machine. That makes it hard for us to help.

Kimera,

We have a studio in Alberta, Didsbury which is between Calgary and Red Deer, about 75k’s either way.

We operate Vibrogym Professionals and as of recent have a Hypervibe Performance that you can try. Will let you compare anything you may have tried so far. As well we can help you in proper utilization. I can say you will be amazed if you’ve tried any other pivotal equipment.

The sights mentioned as well equipment are highly suspect. The first looks just like the Crazy Fit, the second is a site we have found to be lacking in real ethics.

Our regards,

Thanks Lloyd,

You just saved me a load of frustration. I’m based in Alberta and want to spend $1500-2000 Canadian on a vibration training machine aimed at weight loss. If the machine is capable of gentler therapy settings as well, even better but not a priority. The machine is for home use and I am wary of getting a machine so large and bulky, I have to leave it behind when I move.

I tried following the ad links on this website for possible matches. The VibraTrim VT200 on http://www.vibra-trim.net and Farfalla on http://www.SlimVibes.com looked promising. Are these people pulling my leg as well?
