Some good vibrations might make working out a bit easier, and this is notable as vibration plates have been proving increasingly popular in fitness centers across the world. Now, UK-based JTX Fitness has announced a new addition to its range of machines with the introduction of the JTX Salon Pro. This isn’t simply a commercial grade oscillating machine built to withstand daily use either. Instead it features a wide range of speed settings and program, as well as workout straps and an impressive 1500 watt pivotal vibration motor.
The JTX Salon Pro offers the promise to bring the fitness phenomenon to an even wider range of fitness establishments, and even the home. Key specifications include a large 68 x 51cm base, 60 speed settings, 23 program, an oscillating amplitude of 12mm and a 1500w vibration motor.
Common exercises like sit-ups, press-ups and squats are enhanced when performed in contact with the plate: it is therefore a simple to use machine that demands less of inexperienced users and is suitable for gym users of all ages. It also takes up little floor space in a home or fitness centre, adding to its appeal. It doesn’t hurt that it has a space-age image either: whole body vibration therapy was pioneered to counter loss of muscle and bone mass among Russian cosmonauts. Video after the jump
