PRECAUTIONS
There are a few things you should do before using your PERFORMANCE exercise machine:
INSTRUCTION MANUAL:
Familiarise yourself with this manual and look it over carefully. Be sure you understand the control
panel operation and the safe exercise positions before using the PERFORMANCE. This manual
includes basic information on starting an exercise program, and safety tips that will assist you in
reaching your goals for a healthy lifestyle. If you suffer from any of the conditions that are not suitable
for use on the PERFORMANCE please confirm with your doctor before using the machine.
Neither Hypervibe nor its representatives can accept responsibility for any damage or injury incurred
as a result from information presented in the manual except under the terms of the product warranty.
ELECTRICAL
The PERFORMANCE should always be turned off at the wall outlet when not in use.
The PERFORMANCE should be always stored and used in a dry area, away from moisture, fumes
and flammable substances.
The PERFORMANCE should only be used for intended purposes as outlined in this manual.
Do not attempt to repair or modify any of the electrical parts or components of the
PERFORMANCE. Only a Hypervibe authorised technician should do so, unauthorised work will
void warranty.
Do not use the PERFORMANCE during lightning or electrical storms.
Always turn the rear base unit power switch off before disconnecting at the wall outlet.
Do not use the machine if the electrical cord or machine shows signs of damage.
MECHANICAL
Keep fingers clear of the PERFORMANCE moving platform at all times. Never leave children
unattended around the machine. The PERFORMANCE platform moves with great speed and
force, and could trap the feet or hands of children.
Select a firm, flat floor area to use your machine, the best surface would be a concrete slab floor. Be
aware that the machine is designed to cause vibration, and therefore will transmit some vibration
into the surface it is used on. Hypervibe will not be responsible for cosmetic and structural building
damage caused by the vibrations from the PERFORMANCE. Ensure you place the machine on a
surface that will be unaffected by the vibration of the machine. To help absorb some of these
vibrations, place the machine onto a foam or rubber mat.

INTRODUCTION
The PERFORMANCE vibration machine has been developed here in Australia by a team of health
and technical professionals. This model is suitable for home through to light commercial use, and has
been designed for adults of all ages and all levels of fitness and abilities. This machine should be used
similarly to other gym equipment, in the sense that everyone has their own preferences and
capabilities and should become aware of them.
When training, we recommend you use the PERFORMANCE for no longer than 10 minutes a day and
no more than 3-4 times a week, a 10 minute session gives you maximum results. We suggest you
choose a program that is best suited to the goals you wish to achieve, and start using the machine
gradually. Hold each position for a maximum of 30 seconds and increase the duration if you feel
comfortable doing so, this will allow your body to explore its limitations. Please watch the instructional
DVD before using the PERFORMANCE.
In today's age of fast food, automation, and convenience, as a society we are becoming increasingly
inactive and overweight. The team at Hypervibe, are working to promote a healthy lifestyle through
regular exercise and movement. The PERFORMANCE uses Whole Body Vibration Technology, and
is designed for people who want to make exercise a part of their lifestyle, but may be limited by their
time, equipment or ability to do so using conventional exercise. Others may want use the machine to
compliment their regular exercise routine, and/or to accelerate and maximize results.
When we train in the gym using conventional training, we do this by contracting our muscles and
relaxing them over and over again with some sort of load for resistance. That load can be created with
weights, hydraulic machines or by simply using your own body weight to create a load e.g. push up's.
When using the PERFORMANCE platform you can induce muscle contractions up to 27 times per
second. This is why a full workout on a vibration platform can be achieved in a very short period of
time, and also why you should not exceed the recommended workout durations.
Of course, the PERFORMANCE is not only designed for working out, but also has numerous
therapeutic uses also. At low speeds, the gentle rocking action of the platform improves your balance,
and is great for the elderly and injury rehabilitation. Likewise, speeds slightly higher, can be excellent
for massage, circulation and recovery. At these lower therapeutic speeds, the machine can be used
more often than the recommended 10 minutes per session, 3-4 times per week.
Because of the numerous applications and benefits of the PERFORMANCE, it makes an invaluable
addition to your home gym, studio or practice, which cannot be matched by conventional training
apparatus.

HISTORY, BENEFITS& APPLICATIONS
Whole body vibration was developed by the Russian space program to meet the exercise needs of
their Cosmonauts. The Cosmonauts were experiencing a zero gravity environment in space and their
muscles and bone deteriorated when they were used much less. Researchers found that Whole Body
Vibration technology, exerted forces on the cosmonauts many times that of gravity, and was used to
rehabilitate their muscle and bone density.
Medical scientists and researchers then began to explore other successful applications of whole body
vibration technology. Whole Body Vibration machines began to appear in hospitals and various
medical clinics. Clinical studies revealed shorter recovery times for joint and muscle injuries, and
other studies found whole body vibration improved flexibility and stability.
Whole Body Vibration has also expanded into the fitness industry. Athletes training with whole body
vibration have documented an increase in strength, balance, speed, and endurance, and
experienced swifter recovery from fatigue.
Today there is both scientific and anecdotal evidence that vibration exercise can…
Improve muscle strength and power
Increase joint motion
Increase muscle tone & muscle mass
Increase flexibility & co-ordination
Improve circulation (exercise increases blood flow)
Strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve pelvic floor function
Improve balance & decrease risk of falling
Improve core stability
Accelerate weight loss (in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle)
Increase tendon strength
Improved bone density (via muscle pulling on bone)
Increased jump height ability

LCD DISPLAY & COMPUTER PROGRAM
Always consult a physician before beginning this or any exercise
program.
The PERFORMANCE uses a sophisticated computer program
designed here in Australia. The LCD display monitors the status of the
machine and gives you live time and speed values. The control panel
also features an audible warning alarm to warn you during program
mode that the machine is about to run or pause.
Below we explain each reading on the display…..
TIME – When the TIME reading is showing, this means the digits
displayed are in reference to time in minutes and/or seconds.
SPEED – When the SPEED reading is showing this means the digits
displayed are in reference to the speed in Hz.
HYPERVIBE – The HYPERVIBE reading will always be displayed when the power is on. It will be the
only thing displayed when the machine is in standby mode.
RUN – When the RUN reading is showing, this means the motor is running and the platform is moving.
When selecting a run time during program mode, RUN will also be displayed.
PAUSE - When the PAUSE reading is showing, this means the motor is off and the platform is not
moving. When selecting a pause time during program mode, PAUSE will also be displayed.
MAN – When the MAN reading is showing this means the machine is in manual mode. When in
manual mode a user can select to run the machine at any selected time up to 10 minutes. The machine
speed will start at 6Hz and can be adjusted from 6 to 28Hz and after the machine is running.
BALANCE – When the BALANCE reading is showing this means the machine is in balance program
mode. Research suggests that low speeds of around 6Hz are best suited for balance and stability
improvement. The destabilizing nature of the platform at these frequencies causes voluntary muscle
contractions to react to this action.
RECOVERY – When the RECOVERY reading is showing, this means the machine is in recovery
program mode. Research suggests that moderate speeds of around 11Hz are best suited for therapy
purposes. At these frequencies the platform begins to cause involuntary muscle contractions, the
gentle vibration is good for therapy purposes but not strong enough for training.
TRAIN – When the TRAIN reading is showing, this means the machine is in train program mode.
Research suggests that higher speeds of around 19Hz start to produce training effects and have
9
some therapy purposes. At these frequencies the G forces produced by the platform become strong
enough for strength training
TONE – When the TONE reading is showing, this means the machine is in tone program mode.
Research suggests that highest speeds of around 26Hz provide numerous training and therapy
benefits. At these frequencies the platform will produce the largest range of Whole Body Vibration
benefits.
The PERFORMANCE computer program is what sets this machine apart from others. Each program
requires pre-selection to your preferences and will start and stop “circuit style”. It is designed to target
your goals, whilst giving safe and effective use.
After you select a specific program, you then tailor the program to suit your needs and ability.
Hypervibe believes in safe and effective workouts, so our program allows you to select a RUN time,
and then also a PAUSE time. When getting into posture position, or getting off a vibration machine, for
safety reasons, it is not recommended that the machine be running. Our programs take this into
account by stopping the machine and pausing between postures. Both the RUN time and PAUSE time
are selected by you, and along with a countdown display on the LCD screen, an audible warning beep
will sound 5 times before the machine goes into RUN or PAUSE mode. This allows you to be prepared
for the machine starting, being in the correct posture, it also prepares you for the machine to stop and
lets you know you only have to hold for a few more seconds.
Another reason for the PAUSE time, is that we recommend a short recovery period between postures,
just as you would have a short recovery period between sets of weights at the gym. These times can
be as long or as short as you set them to be.
The RUN and PAUSE time that can be selected for the four programs are as follows….
RUN
· 30 seconds X 10 sets
· 60 seconds X 10 sets
· 120 seconds X 5 sets
PAUSE
Choose 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minute or 3 minute pause times.
It is important to note, you may not wish to run each program full a full amount of sets. Sometimes the
full amount of sets is not required or is too much. If this is the case simply hit the OFF key when
finished.
Exercise positions are provided with your machine, showing positions best suited for each program.
Some exercises can be used on a number of programs. It is important that you do not exert yourself, if
you find some postures too difficult at the program speed, either try them in a different program, or try
them in manual mode in a speed you are comfortable with.
