Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the HyperVibe - G17 Pro,
Gravity Resistance Training machine. The G17 Pro is the result of
years of technical experience and health expertise, brought to-
gether to bring you the most advanced home & clinical use vibra-
tion platform the world has ever seen.
All vibration machines fall into one of two categories, Pivotal or
Lineal, which refers to the motion of the vibrating platform. Hyper-
Vibe uses Pivotal vibration technology for maximum comfort and
benets, however since the technology was rst introduced to-
wards the end of the last century, very little has changed. Hyper-
Vibe saw lots of room for improvement. The G17 Pro has an im-
proved vibration prole compared to traditional pivotal machines,
to become more user friendly, more eective and allow a wider
range of exercises. The G17 PRO brings power, style, and intel-
ligence together via a beautiful colour LCD display which guides
users through a wide range of pre-installed programs.
In another progression from previous products, the G17 Pro is the
world’s rst machine to show G-Force readings on the user inter-
face, corresponding to a Low, Medium, and High position on the
platform. G-Force is the key to vibration intensity, and for most
benets, the key to getting results. Yet other machines don’t pro-
vide you with this crucial information, often it’s not even provided
in the technical specications.

Gravity Resistance Training (GRT)
There is a wide spread myth about Whole Body Vibration originat-
ing in Russia during the 70’s and used for the health of their cos-
monauts and the performance of their olympic athletes. The reali-
ty 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 benets. 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 benet 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 ap-
proaches to health and tness. We focus on its ability to provide
true Gravity Resistance!
After all, is not Gravity the force we ght against everyday in our
lives. Is not our failure to ght gravity responsible for many of the
physical issues we face? No matter how you look at it, the fun-
damental need to maintain our ability to counter gravity is what
denes our strength, stability, balance, function, and most im-
portantly, 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.

Safe & Effective Use
If you are not excluded from using the machine due to a health
condition, the G17 Pro can be used by almost everyone. Howev-
er, the key to success when using the G17 Pro is safe and eec-
tive use. There are three main variables that will determine safe
and eective use:
1. Intensity (G-Force)
2. Time
3. Exercise
Intensity (G-Force)
The G17 Pro can be adjusted through a wide range of intensity
levels, from very low intensity (low frequency with low amplitude)
to very high (high frequency with high amplitude). Intensity levels
should be chosen appropriately based on personal ability and lev-
el of conditioning.
The G17 Pro has a frequency range from 5 to 35Hz, 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 posi-
tions on the platform (See Fig. X) .
The combined frequency and amplitude settings determine the
intensity level, and the G17 Pro displays the intensity levels at the
top of the screen via the G Force panel.
As a general rule beginners should stay below 4g’s, and advanced
users only above 8g’s.

19
Time
When referring to time on the G17 Pro, we can refer to the dura-
tion of time that an exercise is performed for, the duration of time
you rest between exercises, and also the total time use of ma-
chine 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 eects of GRT without 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 everyday.
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 relax-
ation or exibility are generally very low intensity, and can be used
in addition to a GRT program, or used as an o day program.
Exercise
It is important you only choose to perform exercises which are
appropriate for your ability, and likewise performing those exer-
cises 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 pos-
ture.
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

Hypervibe G17 PRO Owners Manual
20
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. Sometimes locked knees may be
instructed for lower intensity vibration therapy exercises.
The G17 Pro has a pivotal platform, which means the platform
vibrates in the same motion as a see-saw. For standing exercises
where both feet are on the platform your feet should be kept at
equal distance from the middle platform pivotal point.
There are some exercises where should use the HyperVibe work-
out mat or similar product, such as kneeling, planking, and sitting
exercises. Some users will prefer a mat for upper body exercises
where hands are on the platform, but be aware that this will also
reduce the intensity to a degree. You may also wish to use the
HyperVibe workout mat when lying on the oor in front for your
comfort and protection.
For safety and maximum vibration transfer to the body, wear socks
or thin soled rubber shoes. Bare feet or hands on the platform be
the most ecient transfer of vibration, but can cause blistering.
Thicker soled shoes will absorb vibration and reduce the amount
of vibration transferred to the body, and hard soled shoes can
cause the user to “skid”.
