Vibration-based devices designed to help users lose weight in a fast and easy manner are not exactly a fantastic novelty, and neither are the systems created in order to help users exercise some specific muscle group. However, a device to combine both of these features really is an innovation, and that's exactly what could be said about the device you're about to see as follows, namely the Activator V7 from Pro-Form.



The ProForm Activator V7 is designed especially for those users whose main purpose is to lose some weight as quickly as possible, but in the same time to gain some muscle mass. For this reason, it has been equipped with a stabilizing handle, as well as selectable dumbbells. Practically, what this devices manages to achieve is a combo between vibration-based workouts and strength exercises.



The Activator V7 features a slip-resistant platform, as well as a stabilizing uni-grip handle, which allows users to keep their position at all times. The device also sports a control console, which allows them to set the vibration time (30, 45 and 60-second timer), as well as the vibration intensity (25, 30, and 35 hertz). It's also important to mention that the device from ProForm is not recommended for just about any user out there, but only for people weighing 136 kilos or less.



However, beside the console, the device also offers users a couple of foot controls, plus the possibility of accessing certain workout programs. These programs are supplied by the manufacturer on a DVD and can be loaded into the device's memory via an 8 MB SD memory card (also provided in the sales package).



In conclusion, even if it's not exactly the cheapest exercise machine around (after all, it sells for around 1,000 US dollars), the ProForm Activator V7 might prove to be quite useful for many users, especially those who are trying to lose some weight and in the same time build some muscle mass.
