Romford YMCA has an exciting new piece of equipment installed in its gym - Power Plate. Power Plate is quick, convenient and safe to use, delivering a full body workout in a fraction of the time. It is accessible to users of all ages and fitness levels; it offers extensive health advantages, such as improved muscle tone, strength, flexibility and circulation. It also produces proven results for people with sports injuries and ongoing conditions, including osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis and arthritis, making it especially suitable for our members with special needs. Those not able to take part in conventional exercise such as walking, cycling or weight lifting can now safely exercise on the Power Plate and gain all the advantages of a conventional work out.
The Power Plate machine works by causing mechanical vibrations to oscillate in three directions which stimulate the body’s reflexes to allow the muscles to produce more force on an unconscious level.
