- Low and High Frequencies
- Up to 17 G-Force
- Up to 10 Year Warranty
Types of Vibration
Pivotal Vibration
Hypervibe moves in an oscillating motion, where the platform tilts up and down on a pivotal point. This motion mimics the movement of walking or jogging. This type of vibration is often considered more natural and comfortable for users, resembling human gait.
- Resembles human gait
- Suitable for users with mobility issues
- Ideal for fitness and rehabilitation
- Gentle on the joints and spine
- Shown to reduce back pain
Hypervibe
More Natural Vibration
Lineal Vibration
Power Plates move in a linear or vertical motion, where the platform moves directly up and down. They typically produce vibrations that travel directly through the joints and spine. This type of vibration is often jarring and may feel more aggressive compared to pivotal vibration.
- Resembles hard jumping or bouncing
- Not recommended for elderly or disabled
- High intensity
- Travels all the way up to the head
- Not recommended for chronic pains

Frequency Options
Frequency refers to the number of times the plate vibrates per second (measured in Hertz). Science shows that different frequencies are used for different benefits. Watch a short 1-min-video to learn more.
High & Low
Hypervibe machines offer a wide frequency range between 5 to 35Hz. This gives you the full spectrum of benefits in whole body vibration.
- Improved balance
- Increased flexibility
- Muscle relaxation
- Increased circulation
- Decreased lower back pain
- Increased functional strength
- Increased muscle size
Hypervibe
Wider Frequency Range
High Only
Power Plate machines offer a limited frequency range of only 25 to 50Hz. Therefore missing the benefits of low frequencies.
- Improved balance
- Increased flexibility
- Muscle relaxation
- Decreased lower back pain (less effective vs pivotal)
- Increased circulation (less effective vs pivotal)
- Increased functional strength (less effective vs pivotal)
- Increased muscle size (less effective vs pivotal)

G Forces
G Force measures the intensity of a vibration machine. It is the most important metric to consider when shopping for one. Higher G forces directly translate into more effective therapy sessions. Watch a short 3-min-video to learn more.
Up to 17g
Hypervibe offers the most G Forces for the money in the market today. Even the compact model offers a massive 10g.
- Hypervibe G10 Mini v2 = 10g
- Hypervibe G14 Home = 14g
- Hypervibe G17 Pro = 17g
Hypervibe
Stronger G Force
Up to 11g
Power Plates machines are considerably underpowered. For reference, studies have shown that an exercise on 2g is the same as doing it on the floor.
- Power Plate Personal = 2g
- Power Plate my5 = 5g
- Power Plate Pro5 = 11g
