Powrx Pro Evolution 3.5 Vibration Trainer Review
Powrx Pro Evolution 3.5:
Star rating:  90%
Best Price: £3,900 (approx) from Vibrationsplatte.de
Well, well this plate has got to be the Rolls Royce of all vibration plates but without that extortionate price tag.
The most distinct difference between POWRX vibration plates and others on the market is the latest DPS (Dual Power Suspension) Technology which has been specifically developed by this German company to intensify and improve the effectiveness of vibration training.
So I was thinking to myself that all sounds great but does it really do what it says on the 'tin'? To my astonishment I have to say I was pretty blown away. Baring in mind that I am quite accustomed to vibration training I got off this plate and really felt I had had a fantastic workout. Not sure how to word it but it felt like a new dimension had been added to my training and my muscles were well fired up.
It is absolutely fantastic and the plate has all the features you could wish for and more. The whole product, from smooth but very effective vibration technology to the different programming facilities, speaks of German precision.
The Pro Evolution 3.5 is designed for durability and reliability and is therefore recommended for domestic as well as commercial use. This plate has all the mod cons for you to individualize your training programme. You can set the vibration intensity (Hz) in single Hz increments, ranging from 15 Hz to 60 Hz. You can choose the length of time you wish to perform each exercise and you can also vary the displacement of the plate from Low to High.
The POWRX Pro Evolution 3.5 also has 4 pre set programmes for Upper body, Lower Body, Abdominals and Core or Total Body. Each exercise gets displayed graphically on the console display so no need to keep a paper manual around.
However there is one more very interesting feature called 'user programme' which allows for programming of up to 3 individual user programmes that each run over 10 equal time intervals. For each interval you can set Hz, Amplitude and Time. Those settings can then be saved on the 'on-board computer'. As a trainer I believe this to be very useful especially if the plate gets used by different users. In a studio setting it would make it possible for the trainer to pre- programme the machine for the individual clients and thereby personalizing the service.
That's what I call 'Vorsprung durch Technik', lol
My view: read about my qualifications here
I do truly believe that POWRX have managed to supersede Power Plate which so far has been the top brand for vibration plates in my eyes. The quality of this product and its sister plates is just so impressive. Okay, granted, I had to call upon a couple of men to carry the plate into my studio but therefore anybody can exercise on it in a storm and you won't get blown over. (Sorry, my kind of joke)
The 350W AC motor runs smooth and is very capable of producing high intensity vibrations, even when the user is of a heavier built. The various programme features make it a very exciting product for the domestic as well as commercial market. It comes with an additional contoured mat, two upper body straps and four different attachment sites on the plate, an exercise poster, a manual and all the necessary instructions and tools for assembly.
