The Bodi-Tek Vibration Training Gym is an advanced whole-body vibration platform designed to provide a comprehensive fitness experience through strength, stretch, and massage training. This user-friendly device is suitable for individuals aged 14 and above, offering a range of preset programs and manual modes to cater to various fitness levels and goals.

Function Description

The Vibration Training Gym operates by generating vibrations that are transmitted throughout the body, engaging muscles and promoting various physiological benefits. The core function of the device is to facilitate whole-body vibration (WBV) training, which can enhance muscle strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. The platform features a robust design with a foot plate where users stand or position themselves for different exercises. The vibrations stimulate muscle contractions, which can lead to improved circulation, increased bone density, and enhanced balance.

The device offers three main training elements: strength, stretch, and massage. Strength training involves performing exercises on the vibrating platform to intensify muscle engagement. Stretch exercises utilize the vibrations to deepen stretches and improve flexibility. Massage functions provide a soothing effect, helping to relax muscles and alleviate tension.

The control panel on the unit and a remote control allow users to manage the device's settings. Key controls include power on/off, time adjustment, speed selection, and program mode. The display shows the current time, speed, and program, providing clear feedback during workouts.

Usage Features

The Bodi-Tek Vibration Training Gym is designed for versatile use, offering both manual and preset workout programs.

Setup:

To begin, users should attach the optional hand grips to the unit. The power lead is plugged into the socket at the back of the unit and then into a mains outlet, with the power switch turned on. For safety and optimal performance, the unit should always be placed on a flat, secure, and stable floor, allowing 1 meter of clear space around it. Protecting carpets with a mat is also recommended. To switch the unit on, users press the power on/off button on either the unit or the remote control.

Standing Position:

When taking up any position other than standing, it is advisable to place a towel over the base. For standing exercises, users should position their feet on the foot plate, shoulder-width apart.

Speed Levels:

The device offers a wide range of speed levels (1-99) to accommodate different fitness needs:

• Low speed (0-30): Ideal for rehabilitation training and beginners.
• Medium speed (30-60): Suitable for intermediate training.
• High speed (60-99): Designed for fit, healthy, and athletic individuals. Users are encouraged to choose a speed that best fits their physical strength and flexibility level.

Manual Mode (Programme H1):

This is the most versatile mode, allowing users to customize their workout time and speed.

• Maximum workout time: 10 minutes.
• Maximum speed: 99.
• The time/programme display automatically sets to 10 minutes. Users can adjust the speed using the speed increase/decrease buttons on the unit or remote control. The remote control also features quick dial preset speed buttons for 30, 60, and 90, activated by pressing once, twice, or three times, respectively. To start the workout, press the start/stop button. To end the workout at any time, press the stop button.

Manual Mode (Programme H2):

This mode allows for extended customization of time and speed.

• Maximum workout time: 20 minutes.
• Maximum speed: 99.
• The time/programme display automatically sets to 10 minutes, which can be increased up to 20 minutes using the time increase button.

Preset Workout Programmes (P1, P2, P3):

These programs offer variable speed/vibration training sessions, providing maximum benefit compared to training at a fixed speed. Users cannot adjust time or speed levels during these programs.

• Programme P1: The workout time is preset to 10 minutes. The intensity level starts at 2, gradually increases to 98, decreases to 2, and then gradually increases back up to 50.
• Programme P2: The workout time is preset to 10 minutes. The intensity level starts at 4 and rapidly increases to 52.
• Programme P3: The workout time is preset to 10 minutes. The intensity level starts at 5 and gradually increases to 95. This sequence is repeated throughout the 10-minute workout. To start a preset program, users press the program button until the desired program (P1, P2, or P3) is displayed, then press the start/stop button.
