VibroGym

Has anyone heard of or tried this before??

I know someone with a branch of one of these and can get mates rates on their sessions, but i dunno, kinda seems like cheating and i have serious doubts as to how effective it could actually be. I know some girls who have been going and reckon its great and you really feel it the next day, like you would with a work out, but im still not convinced!! So any input would be great!

Heres the link for those who have no idea what im on about!!

Yep i've heard of them- and am going for a trial next week.

A lady whom I get kineselogy/theta done by told me about it yesterday. She swears by it. She's in her 60's and goes once a week and says the improvements are amazing. She told me about it and it sounds awesome.

So im definately going to start using it 3 times a week and do other exercises on the days im not there.

As for cheating?! LOL- no way. Your still doing a workout, why do things the traditional way all the time?

The 1st session is free anyways so just give it a go.

Apperantely it does work, but I never tried them before.

[sassi]

i've never heard of it.

just checked the website...i reckon if you can get mates rates, why not give it a shot!

[shelbel]

Kate it would be great if you could let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the imput guys, im very reluctant to fork out money to lose weight when i can go for a walk for free, so i want some reassuance first!

Yeh no worries...im going on Thursday, will post my findings afterwards.

But as I said, the 1st time is free so it wouldnt cost you anything anyways!

[*KaTe*]

I've booked in for tomorrow, Thurs and Friday! Will post 2morro and let you know how I went, am looking forward to it!

I went and tried it today, was sooooooo awesome! Definately give it a go!!

It was a pretty hard workout, she gave me an intermediate session as I exercise reguarly..and boy oh boy a few of the exercises really worked me hard!

Its basically like standing on a huge set of scales...and doing exercises such as:

* Lunges *Squats *Ab crunches/curls etc etc

You can pretty much do any exercise on the machine...they have a massive wall chart with all the exercises.

And the machine is vibrating the whole time, is really trippy!

After my workout I had a couple of "massages" done on the machine for my legs which was really nice. All up I was doing my workout for 1/2 hr... which equates to 1 hr and a half or something!

She was saying to me today 1 min on the machine is equivilant to 7 mins or something! Pretty cool!

I was impressed! Took me 1/2 hr to get there (as its the closest to me) but was worth the drive. Am going to keep doing it!

[shelbel]

Thanks so much for the feedback Kate, its always hard to know whats the latest fad and what actually works! I'll definatly look into going. Thank you!

wow thats awesome.. so what happens now do you buy one or what?

[*KaTe*]

Nah no way, I wish I could buy one! I think they are like 16,000 or something!!!

Im just going to go 3 times per week! And hope they open up a centre down my way soon!

Im pretty sure you can buy a simular machine for home use. Isnt as good but is around $1,500 I think...

Am VERY sore today! I did have an app tonight...but being friday night the traffic is too hardcore..and didnt want to push too hard with just getting over the flu!

So my vibrogym days are gonna be Tues, Wed & Thurs

[kate_turner2000]

do you have like an instructor person or do they just let you go on it yourself?

[*KaTe*]

Yep an instructer is there to help you out She was saying that some people who have been there for a long time prefer to just go in and do it by themselves.

[kate_turner2000]

i had a look on the website about it and there are none in my area. id have to drive about 2 hours

I've had 4 sessions now, and absolutely LOVE IT. Best thing ive ever done exercise wise! Am definately going to keep it up, it's so much better than normal workouts. I've always slogged it out at the gym, had personal trainers etc etc and this by far is showing me the best results- and quickly.

I am very happy with the results! Cant wait to see how my body shape improves over the coming months!
