Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Hypervibe -
G14 Home,
Gravity Resistance Training machine.
Small, lightweight and powerful, the G14 Home is a
portable powerhouse coupled with innovation. Not
only does the G14 Home bring you power that is
typically
unheard of in similar portable platforms, but
for the first time ever, Hypervibe brings you a
vibration machine with an Android based touch
screen that allows you to control or program the
machine via
devices such as smartphones, MP3
players, and tablets. Simply connect the Hypervibe
G14 software to Wi-Fi and the App will tell the
G14 Home what to do and show you how to work out
through your choice of 40 goal-based programs.
The Hypervibe G14 Home app includes live G-Force
readings1 corresponding to a Low, Medium, and High
position on the platform.
G-Force is the key to
vibration intensity, and for most benefits, the key to
getting results. Yet other machines don’t provide you
with
this crucial information, often it’s not even
provided in the technical specifications.
1 G-Force readings are calculated theoretical values.

Gravity Resistance Training (GRT)
There is a wide spread myth about Whole Body
Vibration originating in Russia during the 70’s and used
for the health of their cosmonauts and the
performance of their Olympic athletes. The reality is
that modern Whole-Body Vibration began in Germany
during
the mid-nineties. The pioneering machines
were very powerful
and designed to increase the
gravitational forces acting on a user
by applying rapid
pulses of vertical force under the users’ feet,
triggering a range of responses and benefits. Over
the years as more manufacturers started to release less
powerful Whole-Body
Vibration platforms, the original
concept became somewhat lost.
Gravity Resistance Training refers to the actual training
principle
by which users of a Whole-Body Vibration
platform experience tremendous benefit to their
muscles, bones, and bodies. What sets apart a GRT
machine from a regular vibration machine, is its
ability
to produce high levels of gravity (acceleration), just like
the
pioneering technology from Germany. In simple
terms, this means that the platform’s upward vertical
force can simulate more than 10 times the strength of
Earth’s gravity.
While manufacturers of low powered machines
attempt to use
smoke and mirrors, we at Hypervibe
focus on the reality of Whole Body Vibration
technology and what sets it apart from other
approaches to health and fitness. We focus on its
ability to provide true Gravity Resistance!
After all, is Gravity not the force we fight against every
day in our lives. Is not our failure to fight gravity

4 | Page
responsible for many of the physical issues we face?
No matter how you look at it, the fundamental need
to maintain our ability to counter gravity is what
defines our strength, stability, balance, function, and
most importantly, our healthy lifestyle. It’s time to
stop just shaking the body and begin to actually
improve its performance and integrity. It’s time for
Whole Body Vibration to become Gravity Resistance
Training.

Upper body resistance bands
The G14 Home comes supplied with two upper body
resistance bands, which can be attached to the
attachment points on the
vibration platform and used
in a variety of upper body exercises.
To connect the upper body resistance bands to the
attachment points on the machine (see Fig. 3), simply
squeeze the D clip (1)
at the end of the resistance band
and guide the clip through the
hole in the attachment
point (2), then release the D clip.
Each resistance band can be adjusted to increase or
decrease the
length of the resistance band, which will
also have an effect on increasing and decreasing the
resistance. To adjust, simply feed the resistance band
through the toggle to your requirements.
Note: The upper body resistance bands should only be
connected to the machine when they are being used. If
they are left connected to the machine and are not in
use, they may create excessive noise.

Safe & Effective Use
If you are not excluded from using the machine due
to a health
condition, the G14 Home can be used by
almost everyone. How-
ever, the key to success when
using the G14 Home is safe and effective use. There
are three main variables that will determine safe and
effective use:
1.
Intensity (G-Force)
2.
Time
3.
Exercise
Intensity (G-Force)
The G14 Home can be adjusted through a wide
range of intensity levels, from very low intensity (low
frequency with low amplitude) to high (high frequency
with high amplitude). Intensity levels
should be chosen
appropriately based on personal ability and lev-
el of
conditioning.
The G14 Home has a frequency range from 5 to 20Hz,
and three amplitude positions, L (Low), M (Medium), &
H (High). Frequency refers to the speed of the
platform and can be adjusted at the
control panel in
manual mode. Amplitude refers to the distance the
platform travels up and down and can be adjusted by
moving
your feet/hands between the L, M & H
amplitude contact positions on the platform (See
Fig.4).When connected to the Hypervibe G14 app,
the combined frequency and amplitude settings
determine the intensity level, and
the G14 Home
displays the intensity levels at the top of the screen via

18 | Page
the G Force panel. As a general rule, beginners should
stay below 4g’s.
Time
When referring to time on the G14 Home, we can
refer to the duration of time that an exercise is
performed for, the duration of
time you rest
between exercises, and also the total time use of
machine in any given week in terms of number of
sessions.
Just as we recommend low intensity vibration when
new to GRT, we also recommend short exercise
durations and fewer sessions
per week. As little as 5
minutes, 2 to 3 times per week may be enough
stimulation initially, which should allow you to
become
familiar with the effects of GRT without

19 | Page
overloading your body. If your body adapts well to
GRT, longer exercise durations of 10-20
mins in total
are possible, and it is also possible to use the ma-
chine every day. Allow adequate rest durations
between exercises. Reducing the rest periods will
contribute to the intensity of the session.
It should also be noted that programs that are
designed for relaxation or flexibility are generally very
low intensity and can be used in addition to a GRT
program or used as an off-day program.
Exercise
It is important you only choose to perform exercises
which are ap- propriate for your ability, and likewise
performing those exercises correctly, as incorrect
posture can cause harm and injury. Switching on your
core muscles by drawing your belly towards your spine,
will increase core stability and help maintain your
posture.
It is important to maintain balance during exercises.
For exercises which use the handles of the machine for
stability, the aim is to be able to perform the exercise
with minimal pressure on the handles as possible. Your
body should be positioned so that if you were to let go
of the handles, you would not lose balance.
Unless otherwise instructed, your weight should be
distributed evenly through your feet left to right, and
front to back. You should not be up on your toes, nor
back on your heels.
You should never stand up tall and lock your knees
during a high intensity GRT machine setting.
