Whole Body Vibration

Hypervibe is a machine that provides whole body vibration, which is provided by oscillating plates that you stand on. It can be used to help support exercise as well as rehabilitation from various physical ailments.

It’s a safe and effective way to boost your health and fitness without having to visit a gym or spend lots of time on money on fad gadgets that don’t work.

Using Hypervibe has a number of benefits, including increasing muscle strength, tone and bone density. Hypervibe will also help reduce pain whilst also boosting range of motion (flexibility). Sessions will also help increase circulation and the lymphatic system.

We typically spend most of our lives adopting poor posture, or just spending too long sitting down. Our muscles can get fatigued and cause pain. Hypervibe literally re-awakes the muscles to encourage better circulation and drainage of waste products.

If you currently exercise, Hypervibe is a great way to supercharge your results in the gym. You may have even noticed your gym has vibration plates, however Hypervibe offers superior oscillation that can be customized to a specific body area, such as the glutes or lower back.

How noisy a machine is, is quite subjective and conditional. We have had many customers compliment us on how quiet our machines are, while others have wanted to return them due to being too loud. The noise produced by any machine is relative to how it is being used, the vibration settings and also where it is installed. For example, performing exercises where you shift your body weight from one side to the other will cause uneven weight distribution through the machine and create more noise. Locking your legs (not often advised) will create more noise. Using the machine at lower vibration settings will have lower noise than using the machine at higher vibration settings.

It is true that a Hypervibe machine has the potential to be louder than other (typically cheaper) competitor machines, but this is only because of the difference in power potential. Comparing the noise of a high powered Hypervibe to a low powered competitor, is a bit like comparing the noise of a pussy cat to a tiger.

Obviously there is a lot of room in between those extremes. It is no problem to use the machine in the least ideal scenario, it will just mean that you might get complaints from the neighbours below if you live in a shared building.

It is important to preface this question, because it usually is asked based on a misconception that the size of a motor gives an indication of a machine’s longevity and performance capabilities. To properly understand the relevance of motor size in a vibration machine, you need to understand that there are:

Different motor types driving…
Different machine types driven by…
Different technologies driving…
Platforms of different size and mass

And even if you factor all of these things in, you then are left to trust the seller that advertised motor size is correct. Many of the companies advertising high motor ratings, are the same companies who (per 3rd party engineering tests) are advertising false specifications on their vibration characteristics. If you have read about the features that matter in a vibration machine, then you’ll understand that when scientific research is performed on a Whole Body Vibration platform, scientists document and measure the vibration characteristics of frequency, amplitude and G force. These measurements determine how your body responds to the vibration. Scientists don’t consider the size of the motor, because your body does not respond to the size of the motor, your body responds to the vibration produced by it. If you are being influenced to buy a machine because it is advertised with a large sized motor, you risk buying a machine with a large sized motor, and low performing vibration characteristics. A review of 3rd party engineering tests performed on 57 Whole Body Vibration machines, shows that many of the machines advertised with large motor ratings, failed to produce vibration characteristics associated with many of the benefits of Whole Body Vibration. Hypervibe motors are the toughest

G10 = 330W DC
G14 = 330W DC
G17 = 900W DC

All Hypervibe machines include a 10 year motor warranty.

If you have noticed that many brands look like the same machine, this is most likely because the machine is private labelled. Manufacturers often allow importers to make minor modifications to make the product look more unique, such as changes to handle configuration, changes to the control panel etc. but these are still easy to pick.

A quick search of the online manufacturing marketplace alibaba.com and you will find the same private labelled machines being sold under brand names in .

In theory, there is no reason why a private labelled machine could not be a good purchase, but in practice the odds are heavily stacked against you. For example, according to the results of 57 machines tested by 3rd party engineers:

The majority of private labelled machines produced less than 5g’s.
The majority 0of brands which advertised false specifications were private labelled machines
All of the private labelled machines use speed levels on their control panel (read more)
Private labelled machines had large variations in price for essentially the same product

Another reason why buying a private labelled machine may not be such a great idea, is because the company importing them is rarely committed. For example, compared with a brand with unique design and technology, a company importing private labelled machines does not have to commit to:

Research & development costs
Patent registrations
Manufacturing molds and tools

In fact, if a company wants to start selling private labelled Whole Body Vibration equipment, they can give themselves a brand name, create a website, and be taking pre-orders from an order they place with a manufacturer within a week or two. With such little investment or commitment, these companies lack expertise, credibility, and often come and then go in the blink of an eye. Hypervibe is one of a small number of brands who do not sell private label machines. Our machines were designed in Sydney, Australia after winning a funding grant from the Australian Department of Innovation, and the design is patented internationally. You will not find our machines sold under other brand names.

There are no industry standard terms to describe the types of Whole Body Vibration platforms, and unfortunately this can make it very confusing for people who are learning about the technology. In fact, despite the large number of terms you will read to describe the different types of vibration platforms, there are really only 2 main types.
PIVOTAL Oscillating, Side-Alternating, Rotational, Teeter-Totter, See-Saw or LINEAL Vertical, Synchronous, Flat, Tri-Planar, 3D

These 2 main types of vibration account for 99% of the research on Whole Body Vibration, and this video provides a summary and visual demonstration of them.

​Now, there are a few experimental types that have been produced, such as stochastic (a separate right and left platform that moves randomly and independently of one another), or spiral/circular (an invention of a Chinese factory that has been proven to be ineffective). ​But as mentioned, there are only 2 main types, and these are the only 2 types that are covered by the scientific research in great detail.
