Vibration Plates: About & Benefits

How do vibration plates work?

Vibration plates work by creating vibrations on the plate; it moves at varying levels of intensity causing your muscles to contract and relax. However, compared to your usual workout, vibration plates causes your muscles to work at a much quicker rate. This means that exercises and stretches are more efficient and effective.

Do vibration plates actually work?

There have been many scientific studies to show the benefits of vibration plates and that they do actually work. Don’t get us wrong, you will need to use your plate consistently and couple it with a healthy balanced diet; but you will see results if used correctly.

How do I compare a Bluefin plate to one I have used in the past?

The easiest way to compare vibration plates is to look at the HZ range that they offer. The higher the Hz (vibrations per second) the more intense the workout will be.

Will using a vibration plate help me lose weight?

In short, yes. The vibration plate technology has been proven to help users lose weight. Using your plate for 10 minutes each day, coupled with a healthy balanced diet, will result in weight loss and it has done for many of our happy customers.

Which vibration plate is best for me?

Each of our vibration plates provides unique benefits! To pick the one most suited for your workout, please take our quiz here

Can I use my vibration plate every day?

Of course! We recommend 10 minutes every day, and each plate has handy preset 10-minute programs to make your daily workout easier than ever.

Vibration Plates: Safety, Features & Setup

Can I use a vibration plate with a pre-existing medical condition?

If there are any pre-existing medical conditions, we always recommend speaking to a healthcare professional for advice prior to purchasing or using a vibration plate.

What is the maximum user weight of our vibration plates?

All of our vibration plates have a maximum user weight of 150kg, apart from our Ultra Lite which is 120kg..

What is the G Force of our plates?

We find that G-Force ratings can be misleading, as they often represent a maximum "theoretical" number that is uncomfortable for most users and is based upon user positioning on the plate. Instead, we measure our plates by Frequency (Hz) and Speed Levels (1-180). This ensures you get a machine capable of a full range of motion from gentle lymphatic drainage to high-intensity interval training, without relying on confusing metrics.

Can you set the plates to a specific Hz?

You can’t manually set a Bluefin vibration plate to an exact Hz value. Instead, each model uses calibrated speed levels, with every level corresponding to a fixed vibration frequency. Increasing the speed level increases the Hz in predictable steps, and the frequency range varies by model:

  • Ultraslim & Ultraslim Plus: Share the same motor and frequency range, with speed levels 30–180 delivering 2.0 Hz to 12.0 Hz.
  • Pro: Uses a more powerful motor, delivering higher frequencies from 2.4 Hz up to 14.6 Hz across speed levels 30–180.
  • 3D: Combines vertical (oscillating) and horizontal (side-to-side) movement. Vertical vibration increases from 2.0 Hz to 12.0 Hz, while horizontal motion increases from 1.6 Hz to 9.6 Hz as speed levels rise.
  • 4D: Adds a third micro-vibration layer. Across speed levels 30–180, vertical motion runs from 2.0 Hz to 12.0 Hz, horizontal from 1.9 Hz to 11.3 Hz, and micro vibration from 5.8 Hz up to 34.6 Hz.

While you can’t input a specific Hz number, each speed level is precisely mapped to known frequencies, making it easy to return to the same intensity once you’ve found what works best for your training or recovery.

What do each of the preset programs do?

Each vibration plate has slightly different preset modes, so please check out the user manuals on the product page for a full explanation of what each preset program is for, on that specific model.

What are the black and silver fixtures underneath the plate for?

We get asked this a lot – they’re for the black hand cables that come with your vibration plate. You can use either for different stretches and exercises and allow you to use the plate in different positions.

How easy are they to move? Do they have handles or wheels?

We’ve designed our plates to be compact and easy to move, so you can work out wherever suits you best. Our Slim and Slim Plus models now come with built-in wheels for hassle-free transport. For our 3D, 4D and Lite models, there’s a convenient grip ridge underneath to help you lift and carry your plate with ease.

What are the coloured bands that come with my vibration plate for?

We provide a set of resistance bands have a different resistance strength (some easier to stretch than others). Each provides a workout level suitable for a variety of different exercises and stretches. You can easily incorporate them into your vibration plate routine for a more targeted, muscle-focused session.

How does the Bluetooth work on my vibration plate?

It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3. Ensure your device has Bluetooth turned on and the device is 'discoverable’.

Turn your Bluefin Vibration Plate ON. The Bluetooth automatically turns on once the vibration plate has powered up.

The vibration plate will now appear in the Bluetooth devices list on your phone or tablet. You are now connected to the plate and are ready to go!

Please note, not all models offer Bluetooth. Please refer to the product specifications for each model.

How do I attach the hand cables?

These are looped through the black connection hoops on the underside of the vibration plate.

I require a spare part not available on your website. How do I purchase this?

Please contact our Customer Support team at help@bluefintrading.co.uk. They will be more than happy to assist!

Treadmill

How do you connect the app and what is it for?

The FitShow App is pre-calibrated to synchronise with your smartphone mobile or tablet device. Track & analyse your running performance & journey by measuring speed, distance, time & heart-rate. You can share your data & compete with friends via social media to push the boundaries of your fitness goals. Simply download from the app store, open the app and wait for the treadmill to show up.

What is the black band for that is in the box with my treadmill?

The heart-rate monitor chest band is included, enabling you to track your pulse frequency to an even greater level of accuracy. The monitor synchronises with your LCD and/or FitShow App & is fully size-adjustable. The treadmill also benefits from two in-built heart-rate sensors on the hand-rail.

Can you amend the speed/incline when using one of the preset programs?

Speed, yes. Incline, sadly not. The preset programs have been designed specifically based on the determined inclines to give you the best workout. The speed can be adjusted if you want to give yourself an easier or tougher workout – the choice is yours.

How easy is the product to assemble?

Our customer feedback has conveyed that the treadmill is pretty simple to construct. We recommend two people work together to assemble the unit and follow through the instructions step by step. There’s a 3-step instruction guide in our manual which demonstrates clearly which parts need to go where, so there’s less time building and more time running.

I want to store the product, how tall is it once folded?

The treadmill track easily lifts & folds away for compact storage when not in use. When folded, the treadmill is 145cm, so there’s plenty of room to store it even in small spaces.
