Power Plate
A new addition to City Gym, the Power Plate allows users to enjoy a training technique known as Acceleration Training. In a nutshell, this means you’ll be able to have a 20-minute workout on the Power Plate and enjoy the results of an hour workout in the gym.


The gently vibrating platform of the Power Plate transmits waves of energy throughout the body, creating instability and activating muscle contractions up to 50 times per second. Simply holding certain positions whilst on the platform places a load on the body that works the muscles in the optimal way, resulting in an improvement in strength and power that can target specific body areas.

There are many other benefits of the Power Plate:


It reduces cellulite by increasing circulation and oxygenating blood flow, leading to a reduction in toxins within the body.
It improves skin quality by improving circulation and increasing the production of collagen encouraging firmer, smoother skin.
It reduces body fat by enhancing the body’s metabolism, which causes more calories to be burned even during periods of inactivity.
It boosts muscle power and strength
by activating rapid contractions in nearly 100% of all muscle fibres.
It increases bone density by influencing the reconstruction and quality of the bone.
It reduces stress by decreasing Cortisol levels in the body while raising levels of Serotonin.
It enhances flexibility and increases range of motion by stimulating more effective blood circulation through the muscles.
It minimises high impact and high load forces on joints and ligaments, reducing pain and soreness and providing faster recovery and regeneration.
It detoxifies the body by increasing circulation and encouraging lymphatic drainage.

The Powerplate is slowly becoming an extremely popular way of fitting in the recommended exercise on a regular basis.                                                               

Many popular celebrities have admitted that their super slim, fit and toned bodies are due to the use of a powerplate, including: Madonna, Charlotte Church, Hillary Swank and many professional sport heros including: Peter Nicol  (squash), Manchester United & Chelsea Football Club, Chicago Bulls.                  

Prices to use the Powerplate start from £4 for members, and non-members are welcome to use the plate.
