SoftGym Vibration Plate Exercise Machine for Lymphatic Drainage & Fitness

I used this plate one day for my arthritis for 15mins. I have seen a drastic improvement in just one time in usage. I did get on it for 30mins standing on it at speed 80. You can feel it in the calves, thighs, & buttocks. I definitely think this is a great buy & a great extra to my swim & walking regiment. I see a difference in my mobility as well. I have used it on the carpet while sitting & it was fine. Standing on the tile the suction is great as well. Very sturdy & durable. I am 327 pounds & it holds my weight with no issues. Outstanding product & I am so pleased I purchased this for my joint pain. If you stick to a routine & use it daily it can really be beneficial to ones health & mobility.

5+ stars from me I was VERY hesitant to get this because I saw too much hype about the machines online & thought it was too good to be true. Some of the claims I've heard still seem bogus but, for me, this has been a great buy. PROS + Doesn't take a lot of space to use or store. I keep mine next to my home "work station" in my bedroom and it slides underneath easily. + It's not too heavy for me to easily move. + It's not loud at all. I live in an apartment and have used mine at all hours of the night and morning when I can't sleep. The remote click is louder than the machine! + I like being able to change the intensity at each level by increments. I thought I wanted something with tri-planar movement, but I actually think that might be too much for my body (at 63). + It reaches a frequency of 12.5 Hz (I've read in several places where between 10 and 30 is enough for reaching good benefits). That is good enough for me because, again, I don't think I would like anything more intense. I can only comfortably do the highest intensity for about 3 or 4 minutes before I have to level down. + I love having a timer on the remote because I can set it and hop and either do a bit of stretching or just listen to music and let the machine power down. + The Pause feature is wonderful. It powers the machine down quickly so I can answer the door or grab a phone call, then get back to my workout. + It is the best kind of vigorous movement for someone who is older and doesn't want to strain their joints. (There are warnings for certain people, so pay attention to those.) + In the 10 days that I have used my machine (for as little as 10 minutes a day and no more than 15 a day), my legs are feeling better which might have to do with my improved circulation; I feel as is my overall balance and walking gait is improving; and my mood improves when I use the machine. CONS: - I am not crazy about the attachable bands. For me, they don't have as much tension as they would for someone taller than my 5'5" self. I also find the hard to unhook from the machine. As for claims about weight loss, that might be in the long run (with more dietary changes), but I am not depending on this machine alone for that. I don't believe the cellulite loss claims & don't even care about that. For me, this is a good way to increase overall daily body movement. The first couple of days, I didn't notice much but, the next couple of three days after that, my legs and thighs felt really itchy for a few minutes. I heard that is because the vibration might be releasing histamines (?) or improving circulation. It doesn't happen much anymore - or isn't as intense or long-lasting. Because I already have some balance issues, I am not able to do fancy stretches while on the machine (I sometimes use the desk to brace myself while just standing on it!), but I can use my circular bands sometimes to do some arm exercises. My next goal is to do some planks. After having this & using it regularly for a couple of weeks, I thought about getting one of the more popular ones I hear so much about. After doing some comparing, I decided that this is just the one I need.

I absolutely love my vibration plate! At first, I could only do it for a few minutes because it hurt my legs. Now I do it up to 30 minutes a day and keep increasing the amounts of time.. it itches sometimes, but I heard that that's not a bad thing! My hips and my knees feel so much better using this! I was told by my Chiropractor that it could help prevent osteoporosis. Not a bad purchase and it's a good quality. I would definitely buy another one if needed.

I've had this vibration plate for about a month. I have several friends with plates who swear by them so I took to google to research best options. SoftGym came highly recommended by several independent fitness sites for durability and affordability. I lucked out and also found it on an Amazon limited time deal. PROS It's under 20 pounds so it can be easily moved and put away if needed. Feels solid and durable Came with handled resistance tubes and circular resistance bands. The tubes were very easy to attach. Lots of speeds and programs to choose from. Remote works very well. There is both a master switch and a power button on the remote. You must turn on the main button on the side first, but if the machine ever gets stuck on, this master button can turn everything off (unlike other models where reviewers couldn't turn off machines without unplugging). You can control the machine either manually or with the remote - more options on the remote. There are a lot of exercise suggestions that come with the product, and more can be found online. Take time with the instructions and learn the remote, it all makes sense after you play with it a few times. You can use this for a workout or post workout or just for lymphatic/circulation. There are modes/speeds for all! I have not tried any of the exercise programs and have primarily used this for post workout lactic acid movement or lymphatic drainage. CONS: If you suffer from migraines - START SLOW. I did not do enough research and the first week I had this machine, I used it every day for 10 minutes a day, on the lowest (0) or second lowest (1) speeds. Unfortunately, it increased my migraines (low grade) which caused me to do a little more research and discovered it can aggravate migraines. I slowed my process a bit and am trying to "build up" tolerance. Now, I primarily use after workouts for 5-8 minutes on the lowest setting, specifically to move lactic acid. And occasionally for a random 5-8 minutes once or twice a week, where I alternate stand, squat, do curls with the resistance tubes with handles. Other times just sit on it and relax. This had helped keep the migraines at bay and I'll continue to use this slowly and build up tolerance before trying the more rigid levels and exercises. But it's possible I'll only be able to use this on the lower settings for lymphatic and lactic acid movement only. I would definitely recommend this machine, but start slow - especially if you have migraine/headaches issues. I haven't been able to use this as often as I would have liked. If you have severe or chronic migraines, I'd ask a doctor first.

I bought this after my initial recovery from Knee surgery. In physical therapy, they would kinda shake my knee to help loosen my knee. So I asked both my surgeon and my physical therapist if a vibration plate could help to strengthen the muscle , loosen the stiffness , and improve any balance issues. Both said it wouldn’t hurt, just take it slow. I did take it slow working up in time and in the amount of vibration. All I can say is I’m so happy I asked and then bought this plate! It’s great. I get on it in the morning and some times in the evening. It is helping so much. The price was reasonable enough to try something new. The quality is great. I’m using it everyday now issues! Always of course check with your own doctor or physical therapist, but in my case - it’s a game changer

This vibration plate is well worth the money. General Information - It is a flat-surface machine and the surface is large enough to position your feet multiple ways. There are multiple power levels, 1-5, and the option to set the power level manually, and magnetic balls in various places that will help stimulate your feet. I use mine on carpet with no issue. It's substantial enough that it holds a generous amount of weight, but the machine itself is not bulky or hard to move around. As far as performance and how the plate worked for me, I'm going to speak to the peri-menopause and neurodivergent crowds and give insight on the benefits of the vibration plate according to these two areas. I purchased this machine specifically to help with my nervous system. What I am getting out of it is far beyond that. I use it every single day at least twice a day. It gently wakes me up in the morning and helps me with winding down in the evening. From a neurodivergent standpoint, I hold tension I'm not even aware of. I fully believe that I constrict my own fascia because I hold and metabolize tension and energy. I didn't even realize how much I was holding until I started using this plate. A few notes on being neurodivergent and using this: - First, when you use this plate to wind down your nervous system at night, it's best to use the lower power level settings, specifically 1-3. - Second, at night, try to use it for 30 minutes. You can stand on it, sit on it, or sit on the floor and rest your legs on it (or all three). The machine runs in 15 minute sessions, so you will have to start it over for each block of time you use it. - Third, you should try to take a break in the middle of the day for at least 10 minutes and use this plate as a mini vacation. Just a break for your mind to think of nothing but being in your body, thinking of anything wonderful. Trust :) - Fourth, you can health habit stack if you enjoy red light therapy, have (or are looking to getting) a red light panel on a stand. I have the standard $60-$80 panel red light panel also from Amazon and at least three times a week I position the panel on the stand to hover over my vibration plate so that its about four inches from my scalp. The red light sessions at least three times a week, for 30 minutes, and taking an oral Taurine supplement (also purchased on Amazon) have helped my hair grow back. Ok, notes as a peri-menopausal woman: - First, the nervous system regulation mentioned above. All of it applies here too. - Second, my sleep is infinitely better. - Third, the restless leg pains in the front of my calves is gone. I have to use it at night to "shake out" the excess energy, works every time. - Fourth, I use this when I wake up. It helps stretch out the front part of my legs (my shins??). For all of you that wake up feeling like a crackly sack of bones, it's not permanent - it's literally caused by the peri-menopause. Sometimes I feel like the front of my legs / shins are so tight and achey that I can't walk far without rubbing them. I always feel this way if I haven't used the vibration plate. - This also helps SO MUCH with lymphatic drainage. Support those pathways by researching how to help open them and drink hot tea that supports your liver. When I'm using this for lymphatic drainage or waking up in the morning, I set the power level to 4 or 5. I can *feel the itching* as it's stimulating stagnant fluid. So satisfying, iykyk. I don't track my weight, but I will say that this is helping me with being more energetic and having more endurance in my muscles overall. I noticed many of these improvements immediately. Hope this helps!!

A friend of mine has one (different model/manufacturer) so I was sold on the concept. I wanted something that I could use for a variety of exercises from a simple stand in place to doing active squats, planks or whatever. This one fits the bill! It's not so big it takes over the space, and not so small I wouldn't feel comfortable standing on it (5'6", 140 lbs). It set up in an instant and is sturdy, quiet and easy to change settings, etc. right from the start. I'm also loving the accupressure nodes on the base plate for that extra zhuzgh. Note: I thought I was buying the grey/white but it turned out more grey/light lavender shade. I'm keeping it but make sure you check the color you really want. Happy Vibes!

i love it! definitely feel a difference from using this. the manual explains the plate and how to use it very well. you can use it for multiple reasons. i like the different speeds, it's sturdy, and makes me feel relaxed after using it.

BROKE AFTER TWO WEEKS AND NO ONE IS REPLYING TO THE EMAILS OR MESSAGES ABOUT A REPLACEMENT, PLEASE ADVISE.

No me gusta , en el nivel más bajo es terrible como vibra ... La he usado solo una vez , te destroza las rodillas. No la recomiendo ; una mala opción de compra .
