Getting the right machine or a good machine from all of the available machines on the market for home is key. There are many things to consider as our first article pointed out. After you have decided on the platforms type getting a machine to meet your goals is important. We looked at the Vibra-Trim VT400 machine.

The VT400 is a very nice Whole Body Vibration machine, this a 7G or under, pivotal/dual vibe machine. This is a very well built machine and is very quiet in its operation. The machine is relatively easy to assemble when it arrives to your home. It ships in 2 boxes and you should have 2 people available to assemble this machine as it is very heavy. One thing nice about this system is that it comes with all of the tools needed to assemble. All of the screws are pre-installed, so no more hunting for the proper sized screw to install a particular part.

The VT400 has 3 internal programs that you can run as a daily routine. It has a manual mode as well. You can even program your own routines using the USB flash drive concept that is provided with your machine. Given that you have 66 speeds available you can target routine by type, massage or wellness for example. The additional supplied resistance bands adds to the amount of different target exercises one can complete using the VT400. Other machines on the market seem to have the issue that the heavier the person the machines are known to slow down dramatically in its ability to deliver the goods. So in order to get the desire frequency/speed one would have to dial up the setting on the machine in order for it to deliver the power. That does not seem to be the case with the VT400. We had several people try the machine out to test this of differing weights from 110 lbs up to 225 lbs and it seems that this machine holds it own. As stated above this machine is very smooth and quiet in its delivery of power where and when you need it.
