“I have set up The Lifestyle Institute where I will be creating studios which will incorporate the Power Plate. That is to the extent I believe in the Power Plate. Everyone should be using them and if they get half the results I got, it will be life changing!”

“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.”

"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.“

“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”

“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. Additionally, Power Plate has proved to be a good remedy to soreness and pain reduction, while accelerating the injury / rehab cycle. 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.”

“I’ve struggled with knee pain for most of my adult life (if you’ve seen me at 300+ pounds climb out of a deep sand bunker, you witnessed it). About six months ago, under the guidance of my friend (fitness expert) Sean Cochran, I committed to an exercise program centered on a 15-minute (almost) daily Power Plate® routine. To date I’m pleased to report a loss of over 50 pounds, stronger legs, increased flexibility, and feeling better than I have in 20 years. To feel this good without knee pain in my mid-sixties is amazing to me. Thanks Power Plate, I’m with you for the long haul!”

“My first experience with Power Plate was just prior to the Kinojo Senior Open in Japan. I felt the benefits of Acceleration Training with Power Plate loosen me up immediately and was able to physically perform at a high level on the course, leading to my eventual victory at the tournament on the first playoff hole. Power Plate will definitely be a part of my ongoing training regimen.”

“I have found that The Power Plate has increased my strength, stamina, mobility and overall coordination – all critical elements to success on the golf course,” said Mediate. “Aside from these benefits, the Power Plate acts as a preventative measure, reducing the potential for joint or back related injuries common among golfers. Not only is the Power Plate my primary training method, it is the ultimate warm-up mechanism,” said Mediate. “All it takes is a quick 90-seconds or so on the Power Plate prior to beginning a round or hitting the range, and my body is completely warmed up and ready to go.”

“As a strength and conditioning coach on the PGA Tour, I train top ranked golfers including Phil Mickelson and the Power Plate is an integral part of my training programs. The benefits provided by Acceleration Training from the Power Plate for the golf swing are vast.

"The impact of Power Plate on our members has been phenomenal. Words and phrases like 'Wow,' 'brilliant,' 'amazing,' I can't believe how much work I feel I have done after only 10 minutes on the machine,' I will definitely use this as I hate working with weights,' 'I can really feel the muscles working' have been commonplace. I have never seen anything gym-based met with such positivity and enthusiasm.“

"We are still excited about the response we are getting from our clients. One of our MS patients is walking so much better with improved balance and gait.

"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. My hips quit hurting almost instantly. 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."

"My son Kyle was born 6 years ago. We went through a very traumatic birth which left Kyle severely disabled, to say the least: cerebral palsy, mental retardation, hypersensitivity to everything...Throughout the years we have done everything that we can to help Kyle to do the most that he can, tons of therapy, tons of doctors, specialist, medications...and all with very little and very slow results or progress. In April of 2005, we found a new doctor. About 7 months into the new doctor's treatments, she got the Power Plate (around December) and here is where it gets even better. She was putting him on it very gradually for weeks, and then had him sit and stand for a few weeks...And on April 13, 2006 he WALKED for the first time with no assistance. We all believe that your Power Plate used within the doctor's treatments has made this miracle happen."

"I suffered before, during and after my pregnancy from lower back pain and knee pain. After my first 10 minutes on Power Plate I felt the release from my lower back pain diminish, my knees with less discomfort. With a fulltime job, a baby and husband, Power Plate has made me feel more relaxed and not so tired that I can enjoy my family life after a full day of sales calls."

"I was recovering from back surgery and was suffering with drop foot. I had gone thru many sessions with a physical therapist and had still not regained complete use of my foot and leg. I tried Power Plate, and within 3 or 4 sessions with a skilled coach, I am able to walk without use of a cane! My bone scan, one year later shows marked improvements as well. I feel better than I have in years."
