The Power Plate Pro7 is an advanced vibration machine that uses interactive technology and whole body vibration to deliver a wide range of benefits to users.

The Power Plate Pro7 is the most advanced system in the Power Plate series, using Advanced Vibration Technology to deliver a new dimension of exercise to users of all ages and abilities. The device uses the principles of Acceleration Training to stimulate a physical response to vibrations. The vibrations cause instability throughout the body and activate muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing workouts in training sessions that can be as short as 15 minutes a day. The rapidly alternating muscle contractions and release caused by the vibrations are what makes the workouts so effective, providing enhanced strength training without the need to overload the body and especially the joints, ligaments, and tendons with extra weights.

The design of the Power Plate Pro7 was guided by the law of motion, which states that the force of an object is equal to the object’s mass multiplied by acceleration. In other words, there are two ways to improve one’s functional force (power, strength, or stability): either by adding more mass (using weights) or by applying more acceleration to the body. What the Power Plate does is use acceleration instead of mass, which remains the same throughout the training session. In effect, it allows a highly efficient workout without the high stress factors and high impact. In Acceleration Training, the device makes the body feel as though it weighs more whenever acceleration increases. As a result, users work against a greater effect of gravity with every exercise they perform.

Designed for commercial use, the Power Plate Pro7 comes with customized training programs and workout videos and it allows users to adjust their workout program to their fitness level. The system can be used by almost anyone, from performance athletes to the elderly. It has an integrated touch screen computer that provides users with coaching tips, helping them to get the most out of their exercise routine. The Functional Interactive Training (F.I.T.) Software available with the Pro7 is easy to use and allows users to select pre-programmed workout routines and modes, including Quick-Start Mode, Manual Mode, or Single Exercise Mode. There are more than 250 customized training programs with more than a thousand individual workouts, totalling over a million combinations. The touch screen computer delivers more than a thousand exercise videos along with workout tips and guidance to the user.

The benefits of exercising on the Power Plate Pro7 include fall prevention, increased muscular strength and power, alleviation of chronic pain, weight loss, reduction of cellulite and body fat, faster recovery, increase of bone density, prevention of bone mineral density loss that comes with aging, improved flexibility and range of motion, and improved circulation and overall functioning of the cardiovascular system.

Power Plate, founded by Dutch Olympic trainer Guus Van der Meer, is a leading brand in the body vibration field and the first to use the body vibration technology for training professional athletes. The technology was originally used for cosmonauts to prevent muscle and bone loss resulting from extended stays in zero gravity environments. Power Plate products are designed for use in fitness and health clubs, medical facilities, and in professional sports teams training.
