Does anyone know how this machine compares to the TRIFLEX Vibration Machine?

I am a physician and health/fitness enthusiast. I have owned three different WBV machines and have roadtested about a dozen others at homeshows. I have also spent literally hundreds of hours researching the subject. The most important factor with respect to the effectiveness of WBV is G-Force which in essence is the amount of power that is transmitted to your body. I can tell you with 100% certainty you will not be able to tolerate the Hypervibe at 17 g. for more than a few seconds, not because it is painful but because your muscles fatigue so rapidly. I can't and I am in pretty decent shape. I easily maxed out my two previous machines so there was no way for me to progress. Although I am 61 y/o I use it primarily for strength training. The great thing about having more power than you need is that you can increase the frequency as you get stronger. Hypervibe is a serious, professional-grade piece of equipment. All the specifications are clearly presented. Rather than having "60 speed settings" the display reads out the exact frequency at which the plate is vibrating and is adjustable in 1 Hz. increments. As with all pivotal machines, amplitude is determined by how far you place your feet or hands from the pivot point. This is clearly marked on the base. There is an included guide that shows you the exact G-force depending on the combination of frequency and amplitude you choose. In my opinion dual motors, horizontal vibration and nebulous speed settings are gimmicks. I have never seen a Triflex and it may be a fine machine. However, many of the products "as seen on TV" are big on hype and short on substance. How much G-Force will the Triflex develop? Nobody knows because the specs don't say. To me the peace of mind in knowing you will never have to buy another WBV machine is worth the modest extra cost.

Yes...it vibrates...however, when I saw all these options I thought it was more massage options, possibly different massages, but it basically vibrates at like 4 speeds, and you can choose the vibrating area...that's the options...mine never leaves the highest setting and the person I bought it for said it wasn't at all what they thought it would be

I bought one with bands rather than springs for noise sake (lack of noise). I live in a condo and need to do high intensity intervals in the early morning hours without making my neighbors hate me. This one was a trial device. I didn't want to make a huge investment into something I wouldn't want to continue long term. So, the bands started coming loose after about 6 months. I continued fine with two bands gone but had to ditch it when the third came loose. I have since upgraded to a heavier duty band rebounder. A little about my use: I am petite (short) and weigh 120 pounds, but I hammered this trampoline 5 days per week for 30 minute sessions. I did incredibly intense intervals. I highly recommend it if you want to "test". If you already know you will use it long term, then I'd probably go with a higher end model.

Jocelyn, I can't answer your question because I sent mine back. If you haven't ordered yet, I'd advise you to look around a little more. I found the machine too hard to hold. There was wild vibration for the hand holding it, while it should be only for the massagee. Good luck! Margaret

This machine has a teeter-toddler motion side to side so it's not a jerky motion. It can also be set up with a vibration motion. I'm not a Dr but it is good for my joints and back. I think if you use it on the lower settings you would like it.

Wahl Motion Lithium is far better than the Bravura. I use the Motion and another groomer in my shop uses the Bravura. We ordered two new Motions last week she liked the Motion so much better. I have tried her Bravura and I don't like the way it feels in my hand and it runs slower than the Motion.

The one I have does not have vibration. It is a pretty basic rocker, unless they have released a new model? I would not expect vibration.

I just LOVE my trainer and I cannot see one bit of difference between the Woss 3000 and the real TRX . My daughter was the one who told me about it and her Chiropractor uses the Woss for his rehab patients so that was recommendation enough for me. Besides I know 3 other people who use it and love it. I could not afford the real TRX and in my mind, there is no difference.

Thank you for your question! This device offers 7 different levels of correction, but only 1 level of vibration.

I have no way of testing the pounds, but I can compare it to a basic gym machine. It holds up, might need some tightening here and there, due to the light nature of the machine. I use setting 3 every day, and I love it! Just heavy enough to make me sweat, but easy on my knee.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though.

This machine swings from side to side. I've been using it a few times a week, including the neck swing, and really enjoying it. Good luck! (I believe there's a video on youtube comparing a few different chi machine. The one that swings in a figure 8 is included in that video.) I chose this model because it does so much, however, I use the chi swing most often, and not so much the infrared or vibration options although those are also pretty good, though the vibration option is quite loud.

I Love this machine. Does it work? It depends if you use it consistently. I feel great when I use it. I typically do squats, ab twists and air boxing to get a total body workout. Last week I actually was on with my weights. I do not regret getting this machine but give it your best and I believe it will be good to your body :)

This one does not have the vibration feature. To be honest though we don't miss it. Our daughter spends a lot of time in it as she thrashes a lot in the crib. It provides a nice nice semi confined space to snooze in. We did get a second one from target and that one has the feature but babysitter doesn't use it either.

We discovered this type of machine at an expo where they explained that it would tone your muscles and a side result was weight loss. They said that it engages your muscles over 60x a minute. The machines we tried were over $1800. Who has that kind of money just laying around? So we waited for the price to drop and discovered this brand which does basically the same thing. Don't purchase this brand, it broke after 2 months and we cannot find anyone who will repair it. Also it's a bit flimsy.

That I don't know----the machine is great though and lasts forever. My husband and I, for years used to give each other 1/2 hour massages with this machine every night. Whe he passed away I never knew how much good that thing was doing for me. Really a great machine--I think we went through about 5 of them. (we used them as I said alot. )

I am very pleased with the sander. I can not comment on the upgrade since I am not familiar with it. The B03710 sands much faster and has less vibration than the one I had before. And I like that it uses 1/3 sheet of paper.I would recommend it. NH
