ibration training is, according to research, a valuable training method for a diverse user base. At one end of the scale, studies


suggest significant benefits for people suffering from conditions such as MS. Meanwhile, Kevin Barclay-Webb of True Vibrations says he has given footballers like John Terry and Frank Lampard


12-minute workouts that can burn more fat and build more muscle than 120 minutes in the gym.


Nevertheless, at many gyms, vibration


training platforms sit unused for large parts of the day; when they are used, it’s often just for a few squats or a massage. Many instructors seem unsure what to do with them, while members – not having received education in their use – opt for other pieces of gym equipment. How can we get instructors and


members excited about vibration training? And why should operators invest in it? We ask the manufacturers.
