The TrueVibe is suitable for general fitness as well as for special populations


PERSONAL TRAINER Expert fitness guidance is the direction Power Plate has moved in with its latest innovation, the my7 model. It uses an interactive, touchscreen video interface with access to more than 250 progressive full-body workouts, drawn from a library of more than 1,000 individual exercise videos. According to Power Plate’s manager


of UK regional sales, Natalie Prescott, the my7 was launched to allow people to use the machine independently and gain better results. “The new machine eliminates the need to have a personal trainer on-hand to go through the training for new users,” she says. “The feedback has been positive, as the machine gives people the step-by-step guidance previously only experienced by people with access to personal trainers.”


SPECIAL POPULATIONS The TrueVibe platform has already been used successfully with special populations, and manufacturer True Vibrations has now modified the product to cater even more specifically to their needs, with the addition of an ergonomic handle to aid spinal alignment. This also allows easier access to the platform for less able-bodied individuals and doubles as a support/rest bar. “We are using all of our expertise to


ensure people use the product in the most safe and effective way,” says True Vibrations founder Kevin Barclay-Webb. He continues: “At our independent


vibration training studio, we have clients ranging from international athletes – England football captain John Terry, for example, and world champion boxer David Haye – to clients with neurological disorders like MS, Parkinson’s disease and small children with cerebral palsy.

“We have used the knowledge gained


from working with such a diverse client base to produce the TrueVibe – a third generation vibration training system.” A pre-set clock has also been added


– useful for timing a session. A deluxe mat is a further addition, making it more comfortable for children to lie on the platform. This mat also assists with specifi c


exercises for people in wheelchairs, as it can be folded up and placed on top of the platform to bring it to wheelchair height. This allows wheelchair users to easily transfer out of their chair and onto the platform, sitting on the equipment for a vibration massage, or to lean out of their wheelchair to rest their arms on the platform, working their all- important arm muscles.


The my7 model by Power Plate offers exercisers over 250 workouts
