When you stand on the CV9 Vibration Platform it
produces vertical vibrations from a side-alternating
rocking movement. The energy is safely and effectively
transferred to your body, stimulating your muscles.
Our body reacts to this natural stimulus with an involuntary muscle
contraction. Depending on the speed; muscles will contract up to 22
times per second and as the acceleration forces increase, your body
will feel as though it “weighs” more. This clever technology means you
can work against a far greater gravity force, known as G-Force, in every
movement you perform which can lead to exciting fast tracked strength
and toning results! That’s less stress on the joints, ligaments and
tendons when compared to regular resistance training.

BENEFITS
OF VIBRATION
Astounding Results!
Worldwide research highlights the physiological benets
unique to Whole Body Vibration (WBV). These studies
show astounding results for improved tness in a fraction
of the time, compared to conventional exercise.
Professional sporting teams have adopted WBV to develop
explosive strength. Health Spas are offering clients
personalised sessions for massage and relaxation and
Personal Trainers are using it exclusively for the ultimate
whole body strength and toning workout.
STRENGTH AND TONE IN JUST 10 MINUTE WORKOUTS!
Your 10 minute Vibration workout can equal an hour in the gym –
here’s why... Our body reacts to the vibration with an involuntary muscle
contraction. Depending on the speed, muscles will contract up to 22
times per second and as the acceleration forces increase, your body will
feel as if it weighs more. This clever technology means you can work
against a far greater gravity force in every movement you perform - this
is called G-Force. Studies show you may achieve impressive benets in a
fraction of the time. So easy... your workouts will y!

BURN CALORIES...
FAST TRACK YOUR EXERCISE WORKOUT
It’s a fact. Vibration Training may help you build more lean muscle quicker
than traditional resistance exercises. This increased lean muscle has
the potential to boost your resting metabolic rate (RMR) so that you burn
more calories – even at rest! The result... fast track to a leaner you!
GOT CELLULITE? SHAKE IT!
Research shows that with just 3 sessions a week (12 hours total over 24
weeks) cellulite on your thighs and buttocks may be reduced! (Sanaderm
Anti Cellulite Untersuchung, 2003). Add some cardio exercise to that and
you could accelerate your results!
SPORTING EXCELLENCE
On your CV9, you may improve power and performance. Professional
sporting teams worldwide have adopted this technology to develop
explosive strength.
EVEN IMPROVE YOUR GOLF SWING!
Optimum tness... strength... exibility... range of motion and
balance... that’s the difference between a great golfer and a
backyard hacker! For golf, Whole Body Vibration has been recognised
as a very effective training device. What sets it apart is your potential
to achieve a dramatic increase in core muscle strength, particularly the
abdominal obliques – so important to competition. Plus, when used to
warm up, Vibration may help you to avoid strains and injuries – common
in the game and because it’s also low impact, it’s kind to your joints!
MASSAGE AWAY TENSION
We all know how awesome deep tissue massage makes us feel - it
relieves those tight sore muscles.
Massage is so easy and benecial, and is so simple on the CV9. It’s
because the CV9 is the only Vibration machine to have a corner post you
have access to far more positions than ever before.
BUILD A STRONG CORE
With strong core muscles, you develop better posture and have a greater
chance to reduce back pain. Whole Body Vibration can activate those
‘key’ stabilising muscles at your body’s core.
FEEL UNSTOPPABLE – OH YEAH!
Simply set your speed... feel the energy awakening your every cell
and reap the benets!
+ Feel stronger faster – work all your muscles at once!
+ Activate those ‘key’ stabilising muscles at your body’s core!
+ Enjoy life to the full! Feel vitality returning.
+ De-stress... feel awesome, ready to take on the world again!
