Strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination are all key aspects to athletic performance. WBV can be used to stimulate an athlete’s adaptive response to performance‐driven activities. WBV training routines can be as challenging as you make them and the versatility of the vibrating platform allows you to target any part of the body. Athletes who train with WBV are faster, more explosive, less prone to injury, and ultimately more competitive.

To make WBV effective in your facility it is important to educate the staff on WBV and how to use it within a fitness program.  With education and direction such as posters, wall charts, and videos members can safely and effectively use WBV on their own.  Also, personal trainers may be an important part of the usefulness of WBV in fitness centers.  Clients will not only be better educated on the uses of WBV when working with a trainer, but other members who see the product in use are more likely to follow suit.
