Learn how the Power Plate® my7 Vibration Tower works, its unique features, how to include it in your daily wellness routine, and the benefits it offers—from strength and circulation to recovery and hormonal support.
What Is Vibration Training — And Why It Works
Vibration training (also called whole-body vibration) uses mechanical oscillations—vibrations transmitted through a platform—to stimulate muscle contractions, improve circulation, and enhance neuromuscular activation.
Power Plate’s system (called PrecisionWave™ Technology) sends high-frequency vibrations (up to 50 vibrations per second) through the body, which engages many more muscle fibers compared to static movement alone. This increased recruitment can lead to faster gains in strength, improved circulation, and enhanced muscle tone. Power Plate
Because the vibrations cause micro-muscle contractions, the body responds by engaging stabilizer muscles, improving balance, and improving the efficiency of movement patterns. Over time, this aids in better muscular coordination, joint support, and metabolic boost.
Power Plate is FDA-registered (Class 1C device), and used in wellness, rehabilitation, and performance settings.
Introducing the Power Plate® my7: Features & Design Highlights
The my7 Vibration Tower is among Power Plate’s flagship vibration systems. Here’s what sets it apart:
Full-body vertical vibration tower — allows you to stand, lean, or use attachments for different body zones.
Multiple vibration modes / frequencies — you can adjust vibration speed and intensity to match your fitness and recovery level.
Smart connectivity & presets — built-in programs and on-demand classes to guide users through exercises and progression.
Robust construction & commercial grade — built for heavy use in studios, wellness centers, or high-traffic settings.
Safety and stability features — handrails or support handles, stable base, and vibration dampening to minimize noise.
Compact footprint — vertical design makes it more space-efficient versus horizontal vibration plates or large platforms.
At the time of writing, my7 is priced significantly higher than simpler models like my5. Power Plate
Because of its design and adjustability, it’s suitable for beginners through advanced users, and for wellness, recovery, and performance goals.
How to Incorporate the Power Plate my7 into Your Daily Wellness Routine
Using a vibration tower like the my7 can easily complement your existing exercise and recovery practices. Here’s how to integrate it:
Warm-up / activation (2–5 minutes):
Light standing, squats, or dynamic stretches on the my7 at low frequency to “turn on” muscles and circulation
Use it before your main workout to prime muscle fibers
Strength / resistance training (5–10 minutes):
Perform bodyweight or light-resistance exercises (squats, lunges, calf raises, planks) on the vibrating platform
Using the vibration multiplies the muscular stimulus even with lower loads
Balance & core work (2–5 minutes):
Use single-leg stances, unstable holds, or small isometric core variations (e.g., side planks with hands on rails)
The vibration challenges stability and proprioception
Recovery & circulation (3–7 minutes):
Post-workout or on rest days: stand or lie (if the machine allows) with mild vibration to encourage circulation, lymphatic flow, and muscle relaxation
“Massaging” vibration settings can help flush out metabolic byproducts
Progressive usage & scheduling:
Start with 2–3 sessions per week; gradually increase to daily or alternating days based on how your body responds
Vary the frequency and duration — higher frequencies for strength, lower frequencies for recovery / circulation
Listen to your body; use lighter settings on high-stress or high-recovery days
Because the my7 offers adjustable frequencies and modes, you can tailor it depending on your energy, training intensity, or recovery needs.
Benefits of Vibration Training with the my7 (Especially for Women)
Using a vibration tower like the my7 consistently can support many aspects of wellness, especially when combined with good nutrition, movement, and recovery protocols. Some key benefits:
Increased muscle activation & strength — vibration stimulates more muscle fibers in less time
Improved circulation and lymphatic flow — vibration helps move blood and waste products through tissues
Enhanced bone density & skeletal health — vibration loading is beneficial in preventing bone loss
Faster recovery & reduced muscle soreness — “micro-massage” effect helps reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
Better balance, coordination & stability — frequent exposure helps strengthen neural pathways and proprioception
Hormonal & metabolic support — potential improvements in insulin sensitivity, metabolic rate, and hormonal balance
Joint support & flexibility — gentle vibration can help lubricate joints and improve range of motion
Low-impact training — ideal for days when heavy lifting isn’t feasible; it offers stimulus without excessive joint load
Women across life stages may especially benefit—whether improving bone health during perimenopause, maintaining muscle tone postpartum, or supporting metabolic health. Vibration can be a valuable tool when physical load tolerance is limited or when you want to enhance efficiency.
