LifePro Rhythm Vibration Plate Exercise Machine with Handles for Balance Support – Vibrating Plate for Muscle Tone, Circulation & Recovery, Heart Rate Sensor, Phone Holder, 99 Speed Levels

Easy to use, just turn it on and adjust to how much vibration you would like. It is also very sturdy and I feel great after consistently using - ie less aches and pains, less muscle stiffness and better mobility. I bought this because my former chiropractor had these in her office and used them to help balance the body after an adjustment. I use 5x a week for 10 mins. I love it!

I was using the Rhythm at my local physical therapy but can only go in once a week because they are so far away. I am using this machine as well as other therapies to reverse neuropathy in my left leg. I am an amputee on the right and after having a hip replacement several years ago I was left with neuropathy in my left leg which has been progressively getting worse.I love the vibration plate helps stimulate blood flow but it also helps with balance, core strength and metabolism. It helps loosen my back when I use it and I feel great afterwards.I am thrilled I was able to get this equipment at home so I can use it daily. I like it has handles in case I need them but the way it’s built is very versatile.It was very easy to put together and easy to operate.

I was first introduced to vibration therapy as part of a Red Light Therapy special. The lights felt great, but after I was on this machine for 10 minutes I felt energized, strong and limber all at the same time. Red Light therapy is expensive and I only did 8 visits before I decided it costs too much and only doing it once weekly was not enough to see any real results. So I stopped that and found myself missing the vibration more than the Red Lights. I saw this machine on Amazon and it seems to be the exact model I was using at the clinic. Being under $300 made it very attractive also.The machine is well made and it was easy for this 61 year old woman to assemble. It only took about 15 minutes. The difficult part was simply kneeling on the floor to assemble it!The only thing I would clarify in the instructions is that when you assemble, you do want the bolts to be holding but not tightened all the way until they are all in place. However, the instructions state that after you secure the console you have to go back and tighten all of the bolts. This is true off all the bolts except for the bolts connecting the handles under the console. You do want to tighten them as much as you can before you connect the console on top of the handles. If not, you would have an added step of removing the console after you applied it to re-tighten the bolts under it. So tighten them as much as possible before attaching the console and then go back and tighten all of the other bolts. The console isn't very heavy but it is a bit difficult to hold it in place while protecting the wiring and simultaneously tightening the small bolts to attach it. Two people would be optimal for this, but it can be done by one.The machine seems to run well and vibrates you pretty good. You can hear the machine running and vibrating, but the noise is very minimal. But be aware if you attach the arm bands to the eyelets on the base that they will make an irritating clanging noise unless you are actively using them and have tension on the cords. I didn't find these helpful since you cannot adjust the length. I'm fairly tall, so they will work, but if I could shorten them it would offer more tension. If you are a petite person, you may not find these useful at all. I am probably just going to remove them.I have had the machine for 6 days and have used it daily and already feel so much better! I can feel myself getting stronger and my balance and flexibility is improving. When I come home from work, my back and feet sometimes ache and I swear they feel better after a 10 minute vibration session. I'm hoping it does help increase metabolism and weight loss, but it is too soon to judge that. However, I do feel great!I see many vibration plates without handlebars and one reason I chose this one was because it does have handlebars. They can help steady you yet they are wide enough to not be constrictive if you are doing stretches or exercise on the machine. If you want to practice balancing, you don't have to hold on to them, but they are there if you need them. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this machine.

Likes:- The item arrived quickly and undamaged (which, when the instructions warn that heavy stuff might be damaged, is a concern)- It was fairly easy to assemble. It was nice that all of the fasteners were in place, rather than having to dump and sort through dozens of fasteners from a bag and trying to find the right one for each assembly step.- It was MUCH quieter than I (and my spouse) expected.- Even on the lowest setting, within a minute or two, I can feel my muscles working. I got the same report from my spouse after she took it for a spin.Dislikes:- I'm not a strong guy, so when I tighten fasteners, I tighten them as best I can, but would never consider myself some kind of wrenching gorilla. So it was rather disappointing when I tightened one of the two bolts at the bottom of the left tube and the bolt started spinning in the hole, since that indicates that I stripped it. I thought, "Wow, I guess I didn't realize how hard I was turning that tiny wrench; I'll go easy from here on out." And while I was tightening the screw between the handle and the tube on the right side, the same thing happened. After I completed the assembly and took it on its maiden voyage, I realized that my fears about this device shaking apart all of its fasteners was completely unfounded and, in retrospect, I now see that I could have gently tightened the fasteners and all would have been fine. At the end of the day, I don't think that these two loose fasteners will cause any problems, but it's disappointing to know that the metal and/or the cut of the threads and/or the fasteners themselves cannot withstand some minor torque applied to them.- The instructions in the manual said to loosely tighten each set of fasteners and then to tighten them all near the end of the assembly process. However, the video instructions on the website said to tighten all fasteners as I went. It would have been good to know which one of those was right. Also, if I'd followed the manual to the letter (loosely tightening each set of fasteners as I went), there would have been no way to tighten the top two bolts once the console had been attached. So, at a minimum, the manual needs a revision at that step.- I think the video instructions said that this would take 10 minutes to assemble. I tend to be a careful assembler and it took me about a half-hour. Part of that was wondering whether I should be following the written manual or the video instructions and trying to tease apart the differences between those two.- The UI on the console leaves a little to be desired. Having one button for Pulse and another button for Time is an inefficient use of buttons/space. Like if you had a button on your wall to turn on your lights and another button to turn off your lights; one button could just flip it to the other state. Also, the separator between minutes and seconds is a decimal point, not a colon.Realistically, though, none of the dislikes are showstoppers. This was an economical alternative to the over-$1000 models that are out there and while I've never used the others, I can see how standing on this thing for 10 minutes a day (or more, I guess) will help work some muscles that I don't get a good chance to work.I'm not exactly sure how to use the included straps (although they definitely increased the work I felt like I was performing on the devide) or the extra resistance bands, but I'm sure it'll be fine if I don't use them or maybe I can poke around on the website.I need support to stand in one place for anything more than a brief time, so I'd never get one of these which lacks handles. Being 6'3", I wish that the handles were a little higher, but my hands reach the handles, so it's fine.If we end up using this a lot, I can see upgrading to one of the expensive ones, but for now, this one seems to suit our needs just fine.Small edits/additions: The included phone holder features a clamp which might fit around a bicycle handlebar (I think the generic instruction sheet shows such a use case), but it does not fit around the handlebar of this device. Personally, I don't care, but my wife was looking for a way to keep her phone visible while using the device and I see no way for that to happen with this holder. The included cupholder mounted easily to the two fasteners on the center support, but I think it's a little small for the water bottles we tend to use.

Amazing product. Easy to set up, easy to use!

This came in a big heavy box, but I found that it was simple to assemble. Lifepro has a great YouTube video that takes you through the instructions step by step, but there is also a booklet included with the machine with instructions and pictures. I tried out the machine and definitely felt my muscles working. After I got off, I felt great! And this item comes with a lifetime warranty. I look forward to using this machine as part of my daily routine.
