“The Power Plate® pro5 meets our requirements for our training equipment to be functional, but aesthetically appealing to encourage players to use it. Indeed, the simplicity of the set up and ease of use allows Manchester United players and staff to quick start and change the frequency and intensity of vibrations with minimum supervision.”

Rob Swire
Head Physiotherapist, Manchester United Football Club

“The Green Bay Packers enthusiastically endorse the use of Power Plate technology. Our players recognize the benefits of the machine during their initial experience. My staff and I recommend that the Power Plate be utilized as during the weight training workout as part of the warm-up and cool down. Both sessions include a number of static and dynamic stretching exercises that aid in preparation to the workout performance or to jump start the recovery process.

A nine movement menu is posted for the team members to follow with little if any supervision required. The players are focused and quick to buy onto the theory of concentrating on stability while balancing on the vibrating platform. The Packers will continue to move forward with new ways to incorporate Power Plate technology as we search for the best training methods available today.”

Rock Gullickson
Strength and Conditioning Coach, Green Bay Packers

“I have found Power Plate® an easy piece of equipment to integrate into our conditioning and prevention protocols. The players feel that it helps them to lift better before Olympic lifting, and it is used as part of our prevention/ proprioception circuit before training”

Rob Brinded
Conditioning & Rehabilitation Coach, Chelsea Football Club

“Power Plate has become an important training and injury/rehab device for the Chicago Bulls. Power Plate has proven to be a very effective and popular training modality with our players and has demonstrated impressive results even after a short period of use – increasing their strength, flexibility, metabolism and circulation. All of our players are reaping benefits from using the Power Plate – improving their speed/quickness, jumping ability, balance and coordination.

As Kurt Heinrich – a big fan of the Power Plate says: ‘you can feel stiff as a board but, you stretch on the machine and you feel loose instantly.’ I think that says it all. The Chicago Bulls fully endorse this product and have machines both at our headquarters – the Berto Center and at the United Center.”

Eric Helland
Conditioning & Rehabilitation Coach, NBA Chicago Bulls

“The positive research and acceptance by athletes, and coaches confirm Acceleration Training is integral to sports performance methodology. We have found Power Plate to be the absolute leader in enhancing acceleration through vibration training.

Power Plate is the only choice for the elite athlete population as it works in multiple planes and dimensions of motion; has engineering solutions to create equality for all athletes plus the ability to safely and naturally progress and improve performance by adding external load.

We use one Power Plate for every Power Rack at Athletes Performance enabling us to use across our methodology from high performance to medical rehabilitation and regeneration. The Power Plate philosophy and commitment to education, research, engineering and thorough customer service is second to none.

Do your due diligence and you too, will be convinced Power Plate is the best resource to meet your programs and athlete’s needs!”

health-02Power Plate® machines provide a simple solution to preventing age-related muscle loss, bone density loss and skin wrinkles. Firstly, Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines contributes to a more youthful feeling due to an increase in the secretion of serotonin, the “feel good” neurotransmitter.

Secondly, not only can Power Plate® machines improve muscle strength, but they also help increase flexibility and range of motion while stimulating the production of collagen, creating tighter, more beautiful skin. And finally Power Plate® machines help play a vital role in enhancing wellness and overall quality of life.

“I’m 60 years old and my hips hurt. I used the machine for four months 15 to 30 minutes twice or three times a week.

I’m in much better shape and I don’t hurt anywhere. At my yearly physical the bone density test showed more bone growth than the physician could account for with the medications I was taking. The only new event in my life was the Power Plate.

She is researching the machine for herself and I bought one.”

Not only can Power Plate® machines passively work all the muscle groups in the body, but they can reduce stress by decreasing cortisol levels while raising levels of serotonin.

Using Power Plate® machines helps increase circulation and oxygenate blood flow, leading to a decrease in toxins in the body, which causes a reduction in the appearance of cellulite. These benefits contribute significantly to the complete spa experience.
