SERVICES

Vibex studios are designed to help women improve their weight management, appearance and general wellbeing using Vibration Exercise as well as cardio-vascular exercise and nutritional guidance. Vibex uses only qualified Fitness Instructors that are Registered Exercise Professionals (REPs) to ensure you receive the highest quality advice and supervision. Our Weight Management Plan is unique in combining Vibration and Cardio-Vascular Exercise with a professionally designed Nutritional Plan to help you achieve your weight management goals.
Vibration Exercise What is it? Vibration Exercise is a method of training on a machine that is vibrating. Users simply position themselves on the vibrating platform while the plate on the base of the unit sends vibrations to the muscles in the body. How it works Vibration of the muscles stimulates the primary endings of the muscle spindle, which excites moto-neurons, causing a reflexive contraction of the muscle (referred to as a tonic vibration reflex). This is a neurological response. The simplest way to think of this is when you have your knee reflex tested by tapping under the kneecap. The leg suddenly extends itself when the tap applies. Vibration improves the synchronisation of motor units and can improve the neurological response to muscle contractions allowing more complete activation of the prime movers of a specific movement and better co-ordination of the activation of relevant muscles. Vibration Training? Vibration training is similar to traditional weights training. As a general guideline, you should:
  • Exercise between 2 and 3 times per week
  • Allow at least one days rest between exercising
  • Wear rubber soled shoes to ensure vibrations are transferred correctly to the body
  • To achieve weight loss, combine the exercise with an appropriate diet and some cardio-vascular exercise.
