"This summer, with the new training device, Power-Plate, your frenetic social life or work schedule need not be disrupted for regular trips to the gym. If you can squeeze 10 minutes out of your busy schedule just two up to three times a week, this summer will be a breeze and the party season will buzz! No trips to the gym necessary, the Power-Plate Personal can be used anywhere in your home, any time of the day," said Nelke Van Aspert, CEO, Power-Plate Middle East. 

The ground-breaking piece of equipment utilizes a whole body power work-out, already a big hit in Europe and in other Continents.  All one needs to do is perform different positions onto the platform and the vibrations will create increased G-forces which cause mechanical stretch reflex actions of the entire muscles. Just 30 seconds, static or dynamic, depending on individual's fitness level - be it a squat, lung, push-up or abdominal crunch- and it'll help you strengthen, tone, stretch and relax your body and mind.

The three weekly sessions are equivalent to three hours in the gym, so it adds hours to your busy lifestyle.

The Power-Plate Personal retails for Euro 2995 and is available from Power-Plate Middle East.

ABOUT POWER-PLATE - THE EQUIPMENT
Priced between Dhs 14,000 and Dhs 39,500 Power-Plate negates the need for any other fitness equipment at the home gym. Aesthetically designed, the Power-Plate is available in two models, the Next Generation, the professional device and the Personal Plate, the home use model.

ABOUT VIBRATION TECHNOLOGY
Advanced vibration technology exploits the body's innate reflexive response to disruptions in stability in order to stimulate enhanced muscle strength and performance. The Power-Plate produces a vibration through which energy is transferred to the body. This mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex which, depending on the frequency, results in rapid and intense muscle contractions 30-50 times per second.

Training with the Power-Plate offers a host of benefits such as considerably improving muscle strength, flexibility, range of motion, bone density, and stimulating blood circulation. Additionally, studies have proven Power-Plate's ability to reduce muscle pain and soreness, and expedite the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons.

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES
Power-Plate has received five international health and fitness awards, including the best Anti-Aging machine 2005, over the past few years and has become a staple at major medical, rehabilitation, therapeutic and fitness centers worldwide due to its various medical and health benefits.
