Simply put, the Power Plate® is a machine which vibrates. The effect of the vibration increases the response of the muscle being worked; this means that you achieve the same result far more quickly than if you were to do the exercises on a non-vibrating surface.

During a BodySmart training session, you are in contact with the Power Plate® at all times (standing, sitting, leaning on your hands or arms). The Power Plate® settings can be adjusted (by the instructor) to match the training level of each individual, meaning everyone gets a workout that is appropriate to their needs.

With the Power Plate® you get a full-body workout: legs, back, core, upper body, across a variety of fitness parameters, including strength, balance and coordination. As the Power Plate® vibrates, you have to engage your core (abdominal or stomach area) at all times to remain balanced, which benefits your posture and back strength.

Because it is low impact, working out on the Power Plate® is ideal for most people, regardless of their age or fitness level.

What’s more, studies suggest that training on the Power Plate® can be beneficial for those with health concerns such as obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis and multiple sclerosis.
