Just with any other exercise, the main aim is to keep fit and stay healthy. But if the thought of doing your gym workout, cycling, a game of squash or simple stretching makes you feel like someone has put bolts and chains around your ankle and dragged you by the feet then it’s time to re-think.
Beginners will not be allowed to try this stance!
We all worry about our physical condition and level of fitness. And exercising regularly is the only way to a healthy existence. But getting down to the real effort is the most difficult so we have to start somewhere, somehow.
PowerPlate training could be your answer. The training sessions are short (45 minutes every session) and the results are proven effective. According to the co-founder of BodyTone Wellness Studio, Ooi Ann Ann, the outlet’s Basic Package of 12 45-minute sessions is enough to set the pace for a new you.
Different moves for different uses.
The PowerPlate is a vibration exercise machine used under close supervision and monitoring by the studio’s certified trainers. All trainings are on a one-on-one basis and there are various custom-designed exercise programmes that you can follow based on your needs.
The difference between doing your workouts on the floor compared to on the PowerPlate is the amount of muscle contractions experienced per second. One squat done on the floor equals to just one contraction whereas one squat carried out on the PowerPlate will activate muscle contractions 30 to 50 times per second. This explains why training on the PowerPlate need not exceed longer than just several seconds.
There are various poses, stance and movements designed into the training programme and each of this will tackle different fitness issues. The studio has customers from different ages, the youngest being 11 years old and the oldest at 73 years old. One other reason why PowerPlate training is adaptable to the different ages and various health conditions is because it is very low impact training carried out under supervision.

Training on the PowerPlate improves your stamina, helps with your overall body and muscle performance. It also contributes to long term fat reduction, increases muscle strength and flexibility, improves motion range and decrease cellulite.
The PowerPlate also help increase bone mineral density, pain reduction in those of us who have certain injuries or recovering from them and assists in faster recovery. All these results are scientifically and clinically proven.
Ann is the living image of a PowerPlate product. She is lean and fit, something she was not before. Her weight problems in the past got her to where she is today but not without huge doses of frustrations at not finding that one ideal fitness programme that could help her battle weight gain.
“Today I can go up Batu Caves in 10 minutes,” she smiled proudly.
And I believe all her five other certified trainers can do the same for they look the epitome of health. These are the very trainers who will put you through your one-on-one session so you do not over exceed the limit of vibrations needed to stimulate and activate your muscle contractions.
However, the first thing that you need to do before signing up for a session is to see your doctor, have a complete check-up and make sure you have his green light to attend the sessions. Be clear and concise to your doctor on any ailments or injuries you might face. That will put you in better order when you go to the studio to sign up.
