Madonna uses it to stay in incredible shape well into middle age. Shaquille O’Neal used it to recover from surgery for the 2002-2003 NBA season. The NFC Champion New York Giants use it to keep their players out of the training room and on the field. Finally, in a recent independent research study, it helped senior citizens in a retirement home regain lost balance and mobility after only 6 weeks of use.

The Power Plate is an incredible machine that offers a variety of benefits for users from all walks of life by using Acceleration Training and Whole Body Vibration. Athletes enjoy the ability to get an effective strength training workout without the need for heavy weights in a fraction of the usual time. The Power Plate also helps them to heal from muscle and tendon injuries faster by improving blood pressure and helping oxygen to reach inflamed areas.

When the average athlete, such as myself, first looks at a Pilates workout, they usually think, “That’s not a workout, it’s just stretching.” Then they try it… and find out that it really is a great workout!

Often thought of as a boutique form of exercise for the wealthy, Pilates is quickly becoming one of the most popular forms of exercise and stress relief amongst all age groups and fitness levels regardless of income. Many celebrities, ranging from young actresses to middle-aged rock stars attribute their health and enviable bodies to Pilates workouts. Unfortunately, the costs of Pilates instruction can be expensive. Between the equipment, studio rental, and the instructors expensive education, the cost of Pilates classes still discourages many from trying it or continuing a program.
