At Essentials we can now offer you Power Plate, the latest exercise phenomenon that is taking the fitness world by storm. 

Originally invented by Guus van de Meer, a Dutch Olympic coach in the 1990’s to improve the conditioning and performance of top athletes, it is now used extensively by top health and fitness studios throughout Europe.

The Power Plate exercise machine works by producing vibrations that pass from the exercise platform to the body. Simple exercises are done whilst standing or sitting on the Power Plate’s vibrating platform. This vibration makes body muscles contract 30 – 50 times per second making the body work much harder than through conventional exercise methods.

The beneficial effects of the Power Plate exercise regime are numerous and include increasing muscle strength and athletic performance, body toning, accelerating weight loss, treating cellulite, increasing bone mineral density and many more.  Power Plate is the internationally recognized method for achieving or maintaining a high level of fitness without having to spend hours in the gym.

Take advantage of this great new fitness programme in our brand new Power Plates studio.  Under the supervision of a qualified physiotherapist, individual exercise programmes can be tailor made for each client.  Exercise can be taken under the guidance of our physiotherapist or self supervised once clients have completed their initial 10 session course. We recommend a minimum of two 30 minute exercise sessions a week for the best results. Call and book a consultation to try out this great new exercise regime.
