Body Sculpting

  Our state-of-the-art Body Sculpting Vibration Powerplate machine is the ultimate whole body vibration workout machine. Giving your body the benefit of a one-hour workout in just 9 minutes!

Quick and easy to use, no need to get changed into gym gear, just stand on the platform.

Body sculpting will have you noticing and feeling a difference immediately...

It is really easy to use. 

Simply stand on the machine, put your feet apart then select your desired programme level. The alternating tilting movement of the platform works continuously through a sequence of vibration levels during a 9-minute session. 

The Body Sculpting machine employs a ‘pivotal’ system that oscillates just like the action of a seesaw. This sends out a fast sequence of vibrations specifically designed to trigger and stimulate muscle walls. The further apart you position your feet (or hands) the greater the force transmitted through your body. 

   This machine is a new training tool – Adapted through 40 years of research and using advanced technology. Vibration training has been proven to improve and benefit the body in many ways and can assist with:

Burning fat

Toning muscle

Reducing cellulite

Tightening skin

Aiding weight loss 

Reducing blood pressure

Increasing flexibility

Reducing stress

With low impact on joints & visible results within 3 weeks

A session on our Body Sculpting Vibration Powerplate is 9 minutes, but there's no booking required.

Like our sunbed sessions, just call in and see us when you're free.

On your first session we will talk through and demonstrate the machine, and answer any questions you may have.

You can use your course package minutes the same as you would when using our sunbeds, or you can pay-as-you-go with a 9 minute session. 

It goes without saying that just like going to the gym, the more sessions you do the more of a difference you will see. 

We recommend around 3-4 sessions each week to see significant results, just as you would do with conventional exercise routines or gym visits.

The machine is high impact on your muscles but low impact on your joints, meaning it is completely safe to use the machine daily should you so wish.

What should I wear?

Anything you like! One of the many great things about our machine is that it won’t make you sweat, so come wearing whatever.

All you need to do to use the machine is pop off your shoes and make sure you are wearing socks... 

How will I feel after my first session?

After your first session with us you might feel a variety of things, after all your body has had a workout! 

The most common feeling is itching – this is completely normal and actually a very good sign! It demonstrates that the blood in your body is circulating well and coming to the surface of your skin. Other first-timers have reported sore legs and getting stitch…all completely normal as your body gets used to this type of exercise. 

These feelings subside very quickly and often after 2-3 sessions these side effects completely disappear.

Is vibration training safe?

Yes, very! The machine utilizes a very specific frequency range and pivotal motion that is proven in research to be safe and effective.
