Inspired by elite cyclists of the Paris-Roubaix, tour VibeShift Technology enables the Power Plate REV to provide the scientifically proven benefits of vibration in an indoor cycling modality. This type of training has never been possible until now.
The newly patented VibeShift Technology delivers safe, precise, repeatable, user-controlled and user-generated mechanical vibration through the pedals to increase muscle activation, oxygen uptake, calorie burn, and cardiovascular effort. This, in turn, enhances cardio, strength, and wellness benefits in a minimum amount of time.
“As the world’s leader in vibration technology, we are constantly innovating with an eye toward the future of fitness and wellness providing the industry with revolutionary solutions to and new modalities to deliver the benefits of vibration training. Power Plate users achieve better results faster and enjoy the experience every time,” said Lee Hillman, CEO of Performance Health Systems, manufacturer of Power Plate. “Our patented VibeShift Technology exemplifies that tenfold. Now health clubs, community recreation facilities, hotels, apartment complexes, and fitness facilities everywhere can offer an extremely efficient and effective, innovative technology-driven experience that delivers better results from significantly shorter training sessions – and know that it’s validated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.”
Users can shift the mode of the bike from standard to vibration mode with the simple press of a lever. Vibration intensity can also be controlled by the rider to fit their specific needs and ability, making it ideal for all demographics. From those looking for a low intensity wellness session to those training at elite levels and everyone in between, all users will benefit from vibration-enhanced training on the Power Plate REV.
The REV also offers six levels of resistance, a built-in Heart Rate Monitor, and an Intuitive Digital Display and Vectus True Release Pedals.
“Our team is looking forward to helping fitness and wellness providers leverage the REV’s innovative training experience to excite and delight their members and clients and to create unique secondary revenue streams through its proprietary programming,” said Hillman. “REV also integrates perfectly with other training modalities on the gym floor for added variety and flexibility of use.”
The Power Plate REV is available at specialty fitness retailers and online in the U.S. at powerplate.com and in the U.K. at powerplate.co.uk.

]]>CHICAGO, IL (May 2, 2023) - Power Plate, the global leader in vibration technology, today announced it is the official Vibration Technology sponsor of Life Time Pickleball. Through this sponsorship, Power Plate will provide its equipment in Life Time (NYSE: LTH) clubs nationwide to offer whole-body vibration to help pickleball players warm up faster and recover quicker, reduce injury and promote healing.
“As pickleball continues to explode among people of all ages, it’s important to ensure they have mobility, balance, and strength to play their best,” said Lee Hillman, CEO of Performance Health Systems, manufacturer of Power Plate. “Through this relationship with Life Time, and optimizing Power Plate usage, we aim to support members in their preparation and recovery, just as we’ve helped athletes of all ages and skills in all types of sports and activities for more than 23 years.”
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America and Life Time owns and operates more dedicated pickleball courts than any brand in the country, with more than 500 to date and more added weekly. According to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, nearly 5 million Americans now play the sport and with this tremendous growth has come an increased need for players to avoid conditions such as plantar fasciitis and muscle strain that occur when players are not sufficiently warmed up prior to play. Pain, fatigue, and injury can ensue from a lack of recovery post-game as well.
Available in nearly every Life Time location, Power Plate’s unique whole-body vibration creates an involuntary muscle response that prompts muscle contractions of 30-50 times per second to prepare muscles for activity. Power Plate also increases circulation to promote recovery.
“We are very proud of our long relationship with Life Time and are excited to support their commitment to being the largest pickleball provider in North America,” said Hillman.
Power Plate also has a line of handheld, targeted vibration products which are portable, easy-to-use, and have been helping athletes, fitness enthusiasts and individuals of all ages to move better, feel better and live better.

]]>After 15 Years of Avid Personal Use, Film Star Takes Role of Leading Man for Vibration Training’s Leading Brand
CHICAGO – April 28, 2021 – Power Plate®, the global leaders in whole body vibration training equipment and programming, today announced worldwide film star Mark Wahlberg has officially joined the company as both an investor in parent company, Performance Health Systems, and brand ambassador for Power Plate. One of the most fitness-oriented of Hollywood’s A-list leading men, Wahlberg has been a steadfast Power Plate user for 15 years, with vibration training playing a central role in his ongoing personal training and wellness-focused lifestyle.
Highlighted by its ability to enhance and accelerate the benefits of conventional exercise, Power Plate’s unmatched PrecisionWave Technology™ allows users to move, feel and live better. It’s for these reasons that Wahlberg has utilized Power Plate products for so many years and has now officially joined the company.
With a diversified mix of products ranging from its gold-standard vibration plate models featuring the company’s PrecisionWave Technology, to its targeted vibration products such as the Roller, DualSphere and Pulse massage gun, Power Plate has been the dominant innovator and driving force for vibration training equipment and programming for more than 20 years.
"The fact that Power Plate has been relatively unknown for so long surprised me,” said Wahlberg. “I've been a satisfied customer for over a decade, so I decided to get involved in spreading awareness about their game-changing products."
Over the past two decades, Power Plate has entrenched itself amongst elite athletic trainers, medical and rehabilitation professionals for its diverse range of benefits, and the totally unique ability to serve the widest range of users, from top athletes and fitness professionals, to deconditioned, elderly or disabled populations. Power Plates are used by countless collegiate and professional sports teams, as well as elite trainers and cutting-edge wellness and rehabilitation clinics around the world.
While Wahlberg’s notoriety and reputation as a fitness icon will be a valuable engine for mainstream awareness, his role will go beyond merely investor and ambassador. He will also serve as an active consultant for ongoing strategy, product and programming development.
“It’s not often you have the opportunity to align with an individual who can impact every facet of a business, from personal investment and business strategy, to increasing brand awareness and credibility, yet that’s exactly what Mark brings to Power Plate. He’s a rare individual whose voice resonates with consumers on a truly global level,” said Lee Hillman, CEO Performance Health Systems. “Over the years, Power Plate and vibration training has been unequivocally validated by medical, academic and exercise science, and yet it remains a bit of a mystery to too many people. We believe Mark can play an invaluable role in changing that, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on board.”
For Wahlberg, Power Plate is the latest addition to an investment portfolio that includes other fitness-oriented brands and ventures that the actor discovered through his own personal use, including F45, a rapidly growing franchise of gyms focused on small-group functional training programs, Performance-Inspired, a provider of all-natural nutritional products and Municipal sport utility gear. The inherent synergies between these companies represent a host of potential strategic partnerships and mutually beneficial collaborations for Power Plate.
“Mark is so much more than a celebrity investor. He brings a deep understanding of fitness methodology, nutrition and business strategy,” said Hillman. “His involvement in our business carries with it an enormous array of possibilities, and we intend to explore them to the fullest.”
Power Plate with its PrecisionWave Technology is utilized and accepted by professional and collegiate sports teams and athletes, celebrities, major medical and rehabilitation centers, health and fitness professionals, leading health clubs and fitness and wellness enthusiasts around the world.

]]>For Fall Prevention Awareness Week, Sep. 23-29, Performance Health System's Director of Medical Specialties and Education outlines best exercises for enhancing balance and reducing fall risk with Power Plate whole-body vibration equipment.
Fall Prevention Awareness Week, Sep. 23-29, reminds us of the seriousness of falls among elderly adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every three adults age 65 and older experiences a fall each year. The effects of a serious osteoporotic fracture resulting from a fall are well documented, taking a severe toll on older adults' quality of life, independence, and in too many instances, proving fatal.
While much of the discussion around the debilitating consequences of bone fractures among seniors has historically centered on reversing the effects of osteoporosis, increasingly that dialogue is focusing on fall prevention. In highlighting health problems caused by the over-prescribing of osteoporosis drugs, a recent study in the British Medical Journal asserted that preventing falls in the first place is a stronger, and less risk-laden, deterrent to osteoporotic fractures than re-building bone mass pharmaceutically.
Among the tools to which practitioners are turning to enhance balance and reduce the risk of falls among older patients is a popular piece of functional equipment. Power Plate whole-body vibration technology is increasingly being embraced by geriatric health professionals, and others in the medical field, for its unique ability to train and stimulate the neurological and musculoskeletal systems - a significant breakthrough for individuals with chronic debilitating conditions, and elderly individuals who are prone to falls because of instability.
"Anyone who has ever exercised, or just tried to walk, on uneven terrain knows that it's much more challenging than doing the same movement on a flat surface and requires more coordinated muscle engagement," explains Rich Colosi, DPT, Senior Director of Medical Specialties and Education for Performance Health Systems. "That's the science behind Power Plate's advanced, multi-directional vibration technology. Performing any movement on the vibrating platform can engage a larger percentage of muscle fibers, retraining motor patterns resulting in profound improvements in overall balance."
Colosi recommends the following basic exercises for seniors starting a balance improvement regimen on Power Plate:
Knee Flex (Warm Up) - Begin by waking up nerves and muscles and improving circulation. Set the machine for 30 seconds then stand on one side of the Power Plate facing the platform. Holding the handle, place one foot on top of the platform and press the start button. Keeping the entire foot (heel to toe) in contact with the surface, gently push the knee forwards driving weight through the foot, return to the start position, and then repeat again. Repeat this exercise on the opposite leg.
Fixed Mini-Squat with Hip Movement - Set the machine for 30 - 60 seconds, standing on the platform of the Power Plate facing the column. Bend hips and knees, while lightly holding the handles, squatting into a comfortable position (as if sitting into a chair). Press the start button, holding the squat position. Once comfortable begin moving hips and body forward and backwards 5x. Begin the second movement by shifting hips side-to-side 5x each. Finish with the third movement, by moving hips into a hula-hoop circular motion to the right, pause in the middle, and reverse circle to the left. Repeat this pattern until time expires.
Dynamic Mini Squats with Foot Positions - First, position feet shoulder width apart, toes facing forwards, center weight equally between the ball of the feet and heels, with knees and hips bent ("athletic ready position"). Set machine for 30 - 60 seconds, standing on the platform of the Power Plate facing the column. Perform five squats, while lightly holding the handles (do not hang back from the handles), squatting into a comfortable position. Return from squat into comfortable "athletic ready position" avoiding locking knees and hips. Repeat the same steps with right foot slightly in a forward, or in a staggered position, performing five squats. Repeat the same sequence with left foot slightly in a forward, or in a staggered position, performing five squats.
Dynamic Stepping with Foot Positions - Set machine for 30 - 60 seconds, standing on the platform of the Power Plate facing the column, lightly holding the handles. Bend at hips and knees, while lightly holding the handles, squatting into a comfortable initial position (think about sitting onto a high stool). Press the start button, holding the initial squat position. Begin stepping, or marching, in place with feet positioned shoulder width apart, toes facing forwards 5x. Continue marching and bring feet closer together, or into a narrow stance and repeat 5x. Continue marching and widen stance, bringing feet further apart and repeat 5x. If time allows, repeat the entire sequence.
Single Leg Stance with Head Movement - Set machine for 30 - 45 seconds, standing on the platform of the Power Plate facing the column, lightly hold the handles. Bend at hips and knees, while lightly holding the handles, squatting into a comfortable initial position (think about sitting onto a high stool). From this position, lift one leg slightly off the platform, or into a slight toe touch for added safety and stability. Press the start button, holding the initial single leg balance (athletic position) for ten seconds. Add movement: Once stability and comfort is established, begin gently turning the head side to side. Gradually increase the distance the head is turned, if comfortable. Repeat 5-10x.

"We are honored to enter into a strategic partnership with EXOS™," said Lee Hillman, Performance Health Systems' C.E.O. "Our companies share a commitment to harnessing technology to optimize performance, health and wellness, not only among elite athletes, but across all walks of life."
Power Plate equipment, currently used by more than 100 professional sports teams around the world, including 75 percent of the four major sports franchises in the U.S., and scores of collegiate sports programs and Olympic training facilities worldwide, optimizes muscle response with hi-speed vibration, oscillating on the same three planes as the human body, to produce a precise harmonic wave and trigger reflexive muscle contractions. As the user's body works to regain stability, up to 95 percent of the body's muscle fibers become engaged in any single movement, significantly amplifying the effectiveness of any exercise performed on the plate. Research also shows that whole-body vibration stimulates the body's natural production of the regenerative growth hormone that maintains tissue repair, muscle growth, brain function, energy and metabolism, all contributing factors to enhanced athletic performance and recovery.
As part of the partnership, Performance Health Systems will be providing its complete line of Power Plate commercial products, including the Power Plate pro7, pro5 HP and pro5, to the seven EXOS™ facilities across the United States. In addition, Power Plate training will be incorporated into parts of all EXOS™ training methodology globally. The companies will also collaborate on various marketing programs to further extend brand initiatives, including conducting Power Plate training academies at EXOS™ facilities domestically and as part of EXOS™ Mentorship programs worldwide.

NORTHBROOK, Ill. (August 17, 2015) – Today Performance Health Systems announced a partnership to officially incorporate Power Plate® advanced whole body vibration and Power Plate training certifications within The Gray Institute® education program. As the global leader in whole body vibration technology, Power Plate redefines optimal health and wellness equipment for every age and ability.
"As far as we're concerned, the Power Plate is one of the most unique and powerful environments we can utilize for our patients and clients to enhance their function" said Dr. Gary Gray, FAFS, PT, CEO and Founder of the world-renown Gray Institute.
The Gray Institute is the world's foremost authority of Applied Functional Science®. This information and education is delivered in a variety of formats, including the institute's video library, exercise library, live events, certifications, mentorship program, online modules, DVDs, and other functional products and equipment. The Gray Institute exists to influence the lives of others through movement, setting the movement industry standards with over 30 years of research.
"This partnership aligns perfectly with Power Plate's educational pathways," said Dr. Rich Colosi, Senior Director of Medical Specialties and Education for Performance Health Systems. "Similar to the Gray Institute's educational goals, Power Plate strives to educate and enhance the quality of life for others through movement. Power Plate provides the vehicle of whole body vibration to replicate an authentic environment taking movement to the next level."
Engineered to apply the science behind a body's ability to respond to changes in the natural environment, Power Plate's vibrating platform triggers rapid reflexive muscle contractions through our proprioceptors. This activation helps to improve functional performance, gait and locomotion, balance, range of motion, circulation and stability by amplifying the effects of any exercise or movement performed on the equipment. Power Plate's vibrating surface vibrates 25-50 times per second, resulting in corresponding muscle activation. This means you can accelerate acquisition and retention of skills associated with movement at a rapid rate.
Power Plate can also be found at thousands of health clubs, wellness facilities and spas, and is used by therapists and doctors worldwide to address symptoms associated with physical limitations in muscular skeletal dysfunction. Hundreds of professional, collegiate and national sports teams rely on Power Plate to help their athletes to prepare, condition and recover to be able to perform their best. For additional information on Power Plate advanced whole body vibration equipment, including a list of health clubs, studios, medical facilities and retailers at which it can be found, visit powerplate.com or call 877- 877–5283.

]]>NORTHBROOK, Ill. (June 16, 2014) – Beyond treadmill desks and medicine ball office chairs, the latest trend in workplace wellness may have employees shaking away their mid-afternoon productivity slumps. FitStop™, the newest programming enhancement to the Power Plate® 7-series line of whole body vibration exercise equipment, is a workplace-specific routine engineered to boost metabolism, energy and brain function in as few as three-and-a-half minutes.
Companies including Google, Bridgestone, Roth Capital, MAN Group, Sainsbury and Sheraton Hotels are already working out on Power Plate in their offices and employee fitness centers. Now, FitStop focuses the scientifically-documented regenerative effects of whole body vibration into a rejuvenating three-and-a-half minute workplace stretching session. The program, demonstrated in an easy-to-follow video on Power Plate’s built-in touchscreen computer, includes 60 seconds of a kneeling hip flexor stretch, 60 seconds of a seated cross-over stretch, and 60 seconds of a double leg hamstring stretch, followed by a 30-second upper-body relaxation cool-down, all performed on the vibrating Power Plate.
"Providing our employees with access to a Power Plate was a logical extension of a longstanding corporate commitment to health and fitness," said Ted Roth, president of Roth Capital, an investment banking firm headquartered in Newport Beach, Calif. "Today, you’re more likely to see a Roth team member grabbing a midday pick-me-up on Power Plate than making a two o-clock trip to the coffee pot or vending machine."
Using a patented, dual-synch driven vibration technology, Power Plate’s surface vibrates 25 to 50 times per second, resulting in corresponding muscle activation. Long touted by professional athletes and celebrities including Madonna, Roberta Flack, Cindy Crawford, Cher, Mark Wahlberg and Clint Eastwood, for a range of fitness and performance enhancing benefits, Power Plate’s advanced whole-body vibration technology has also been shown to have unique regenerative properties. According to multiple independent studies, the reflexive muscle contractions triggered by the vibrating Power Plate in turn stimulate the body’s natural production of the regenerative growth hormone that helps with tissue repair, muscle growth, brain function, energy and metabolism throughout life, and has been medically linked to anti-aging.

]]>NORTHBROOK, Ill. (May 14, 2014) – At least six independent studies published within the past 10 years have documented the link between whole body vibration and lowered blood pressure. The most recent, published by Florida State University researchers in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, involved stroke survivors with paralyzed lower limbs using Power Plate® advanced whole body vibration equipment. Although paralysis prohibited the study subjects from doing anything more than a standard squat on the Power Plate®, they still received the benefit of lower blood pressure.
"This latest study dramatically reinforces what researchers have believed for a decade," says John Jaquish, Ph.D., chief science and technology officer for Performance Health Systems, maker of Power Plate. "Whole body vibration has blood pressure lowering benefits that transcend those of conventional exercise.
"Cardiovascular exercise strengthens the heart, allowing it to pump more blood through the arteries. But that’s only a partial solution," Jaquish asserts. "The true culprit in hypertension, and increased risk of heart attack and stroke, is atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). And conventional exercise has never been shown to affect arterial stiffness to a significant degree."
Whole body vibration, conversely, has been demonstrated to reduce hardening of the arteries in study after study, among populations ranging from men in their mid-twenties to postmenopausal women. And in each study, the subjects’ blood pressure was lowered significantly.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, afflicts 68 million Americans age 18 and older, nearly 30 percent of the population. By age 60, that percentage increases to 65 percent. Hypertension is a direct consequence of atherosclerosis, and the primary risk factor for heart attack and stroke, the two leading causes of death in the developed world. As arteries lose their flexibility, they do not move as they should to accommodate blood flow. This raises blood pressure and makes the heart work harder, increasing the likelihood an individual will have a life-threatening cardiac incident.
Until a decade ago, most research revolved around pharmaceutical interventions for decreasing stiffness of arteries and lowering blood pressure. In 2005, however, researchers in Japan found that reflexive muscular engagement through whole body vibration exercise significantly increased blood flow and oxygenation. Three years later, a different group of Japanese researchers found using Power Plate® acutely decreased arterial stiffness among males in their mid-twenties. And in 2011, Arturo Figueroa, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor at Florida State University, showed a decrease in arterial stiffness in young obese/overweight females using Power Plate®, a group that differed from previous study groups in that they are often not able to engage in conventional exercise. Dr. Figueroa demonstrated similar results among postmenopausal women in a study published earlier this year in the Journal of Human Hypertension.
Long recognized as the world leader in whole body vibration platforms, Power Plate® uses a patented tri-planar vibrating motion to maximize reflexive muscle engagement and increase safety. The vibrating Power Plate® platform triggers 30 to 50 reflexive muscle contractions per second throughout the user’s body. As the body works to regain stability, multiple muscle fibers become engaged in any single movement, significantly amplifying the effectiveness of any movement performed on the plate. A body’s natural response to vibration and destabilization has been scientifically linked not only to lowered blood pressure, but also improved circulation, enhanced flexibility, pain reduction and balance. Research also shows whole body vibration stimulates the body’s natural production of the regenerative growth hormone that maintains tissue repair, muscle growth, energy and metabolism throughout life.
