Hold on tight while trying the latest fitness craze: group classes on the Power Plate, a device with a vibrating platform.
You’ll tense and release your muscles 30 to 50 times per second to balance on the plate as instructors lead you through strength-training moves like lunges and squats, as well as stretches.
More than 30 private studios and fitness centers across the nation—including select Bally Total Fitness locations—are offering total-body training classes on the unit; a typical session lasts 25 minutes. Find a health club where you can try it.

There’s a place in Arizona that sells Power Plates and has the Power Plate my5 on display for people to use at their leasure. The website is http://www.activeforever.com. While researching this machine I found a lot of people who don’t believe the Power Plate is effective and even find it dangerous, but after using it a few times I have to disagree. True, the vibrations are tough to get used to at first, but it really works your body. I actually broke out in a sweat while doing the 30 second push-up workout that the guy at the store showed me.
Check out their website for more info on the Power Plate, and if you live in Arizona I definitely recommend you stop in and try it out.
My gym, Roland Semprie Rosedale, bought a power plate machine. I’ve been using it with my trainer and getting amazing amazing results!
