Hands down, this is one of the best investments I've ever made in my health and fitness. I already knew I liked vibration plates, because I'd used one in a gym before. As soon as I found out I could get one for home, I did my research and settled on the lifepro Hovert 3D. This is a heavy duty machine, so it's got some weight to it. It wasn't anything I couldn't handle, but it was reassuring that I was buying something that would last. It took me maybe ten minutes to get it set up, and that's because I insist on reading all instructions. It's truly a piece of cake to get started. If you're reading reviews, you probably already know about the most common benefits of vibration plates, so I'll only share one. Honestly, I'm only sharing it because it's one most people won't talk about and something that caught me completley off guard. I've dealt with mild incontinence for a while. It's frustrating and embarrassing. While using my Hovert, that issue went away entirely. It turns out one of the benefits is strengthening the pelvic floor, which helps with incontinence (at least in women, don't know about men). I hadn't realized it was helping like this until I'd been without my plate about a week. Which brings me to lifepro, the company, and why I say it gets five stars. I'd been using my Hovert only a few weeks when we had a freak flood. Water is about the only thing lifepro doesn't warrant against, but I emailed them anyway to ask if they thought there was anything I could do to save it. Honestly, I was expecting them to tell me it was dumpster food, but once they saw how recently I'd purchased it they offered to send me a replacement instead. They did, and they did not require me to return the damaged plate. I was completely blown away, am now totally sold on lifepro products, and am telling everyone I can about what a wonderful company they are to work with. You just don't see this type of service anymore. They have several different vibration plates, I suggest you compare them and decide which is best for you. Then make the commitment to actually use it. I've only just started doing a few exercises on it, but I always step on it first thing in the morning to wake up my body, and again when I get home in the evening to release any stress from the day. On those rare occasions that I have trouble settling down at night, I'll even push a chair up to it and just let it run with my legs on it. I love it! Read more
I have only had mine for a month but I really like it so far and use it daily. I would definitely recommend using one for the health benefits and I don’t feel like I worked out but I feel good after. Read more
This Vibration Plate Machine is my first experience owning one. I have had it less than a week and have used it twice . I must say so far i am very happy with it's quality and efficiency! It is also a quiet machine. It is very heavy to lift so I hope this is also an indication of a well made machine. Lifepro was recommended to me by a friend who has one and they are very happy with it. Read more
This is a really sturdy and has lots of features. I have only had it for less than a week, and I already am feeling like it is helping loosen up my shoulders. There is still a lot to learn, and I am having a bit of a time understanding how to get the level on everything at once. The most irritating thing is that I wanted to go see the videos and helps on their website, but it would not let me go there until I left a review. I wasn't really wanting to do a review until I had something to say that had some history behind it and understood a bit more how to use it. The remote control is not very effective, but that is ok - it is good for me to have to bend down and use the console. Overall, I am really pleased with this purchase - I may leave a review later, when I have more specifics and results to share. Read more
I’ve only used it about a dozen times so far and I find it does what it’s advertised to do. Undoubtedly doing push-ups, calf raises, etc. presents much more of a challenge. Even if you just want to stand on it for 10 minutes, it appears to be effective in draining in your lymphatic system because I definitely need a drink of water after just a 10 minute session. I would recommend it just from my limited experience. Read more
I normally don’t write reviews on the exercise tools I purchase. However, here and there you come across an exercise machine that stands out among all the other ones, and this is one of those. First, and most important, is that this machine is very easy to use. This is almost “plug and play” as it were. The machine has 8 pre-programmed exercises where you do nothing but stand on the machine, hit the Start Button (BLACK TRIANGLE) on the remote, and the SPEED and TIME is already set for you! The higher you go on the pre-programs the higher the set SPEED AND TIME. It’s that simple. If you don’t care for preprograms then you can customize your exercises. Read your instructions Manual. Now for the health benefits. I’m undergoing Physical Therapy for a torn rotator cuff. I placed the machine on a counter top so I could place my hand/arm on the platform. I then customized a beginners (Read your Manual) routine with only the Oscillating Motor ON that has provided me with shoulder mobility beyond what I expected. I immediately felt the oscillating vibrations moving from my hand up the arm into the shoulder joint. The inflammation relief is amazing. The beauty of the machine is that you This machine has two motors: an H (for Horizontal movement) and an (L) for lateral movement. You could you use both or one or the other. Your choice. The platform simulates “walking”, “jogging”, and “running“ modes. All you have to do is stand and place your feet on predesignated spots on the platform. The modes are written or imprinted on the platform. When you do a 10 minute workout on any of these 3 modes you will have gotten a whole body workout. After doing this simple 10 minute routine everyday, I have noticed a significant decrease in stress levels, not to mention an increase in muscle tone! I could go on and on praising this machine to the high heavens. But you have to try it to believe it. This machine is unique because it could be used for physical rehabilitation, beginners, and by professional athletes. Trust me it’s awesome. I recommend this purchase without any reservations. Buy it you won’t regret it. Good Luck. Read more
