Hurtle Fitness Vibration Platform

Fitness Vibration Platform

Pros
  • Portable and lightweight
  • Includes resistance bands
Cons
  • Only allows for a maximum session of 10 minutes

Of all the vibration plates out there, our team concluded the Hurtle Fitness Vibration Platform is top-tier thanks to the powerful motor, oscillating and tri-plane pulsations, and 20 adjustable speeds. The device is made with durable materials for unmatched stimulation, and the anti-slip, rubber grip enhances stability during any workout. Gallucci is especially a fan of the lightweight design for enhanced portability but says the compact size does not minimize the 20 powerful speed levels or 2,300 revolutions per minute.

Aside from recovery stimulation, the included resistance bands and tri-plane pulsation are great for upper-body workouts and core activation since the machine targets a variety of muscles while vibrating up and down, side to side, and front to back. The resistance bands snap to the vibration plate easily, which is great when you are trying to put a quick circuit workout together.

Just note that the machine only allows for a maximum session of 10 minutes, so if you plan to do an extended workout, you’ll need to reset the display screen.

Pros
  • Compact design

Tight on space? No problem. Gallucci recommends the VT Vibration VT007 Vibration Plate as a lightweight, compact option. The remote-controlled device is simple to use, offering an intense linear vibration. And the adjustable frequency can easily be tailored to your specific needs. The plate itself is stable, making it great for beginners and experienced users alike, and the platform area is large enough for select strength training exercises.

The device is on the pricier side, especially considering it doesn’t include additional accessories, but the 10-year warranty ensures user satisfaction. It also comes pre-programmed with 10-minute vibration sessions for a gradual increase and decrease of frequency.

  • Removable padded chair
  • Sturdy and durable
Cons

Ranging from HIIT workouts to strength training to yoga to recovery, Gallucci says the FitNation Rock N Fit is the perfect vibration plate for a full-body experience. It’s compact and lightweight, though also extremely durable, and the steady, powerful vibrations intensify your workouts with 20 different levels of stimulation. The foot pad is stable for standing, but what makes this pick extra great is the removable lock-in seat for a range of seated exercises. Gallucci also loves the included resistance bands, remote control, and five auto modes for pre-programmed upper- and lower-body workouts.

The actual plate is slightly narrower than other options on this list, but the durable build and powerful motor delivers an exceptional experience.
