Keeping fit and healthy with the Power Plate

MANILA, Philippines - Power Plate, the revolutionary fitness machine that has gained international popularity among celebrities and athletes, is now in Manila, thanks to Wellness Concepts, the country’s premier fitness specialty store.

Known to carry the most exclusive, upscale fitness brands worldwide, Wellness Concepts now offers Power Plate, the premium Acceleration Training device that provides effective, versatile, and progressive exercise options.

“The Power Plate machine is the newest and most talked-about development in the world of fitness and exercise. It aims to help people stay fit, healthy, and on top of their game,” says Kenneth Ti, managing director of SportFit Inc.

The Power Plate accelerates the body’s natural response to vibration, stimulating muscle response up to 50 times a second. As the platform vibrates, the muscles contract in multiple reflex actions, providing a full body workout composed of the five elements of effective training — stretch, balance, core, strength, and massage. It doubles workout results while requiring less training time and effort.

This innovative equipment can be used on its own, with accessories, or combined with other fitness protocols like circuits, boxing, yoga or Pilates. Moreover, Power Plate is a certified Class IIa medical device, meaning it is very safe to use, having met the highest possible European health and safety standards.

Some of the benefits of the Power Plate include alleviating pain; reducing cellulite and abdominal fat; improving muscular strength and power, bone density, cardiovascular function, and circulation; and sustaining long-term weight loss.

Adding to the long list of Hollywood stars who swear by the Power Plate’s benefits are Pinoy ambassadors for Power Plate, fitness expert and US certified fitness coach Chappy Calanta; and TV sports show host and fitness instructor Reema Chanco.

Wellness Concepts also offers Power Plate programs to local fitness enthusiasts. Regular sessions are held one-on-one with a certified trainer and last for 45 minutes. Power Plate is available in all Wellness Concepts stores.
