Very unique and new way to working out, at least it was for me! Tucked away in a shopping mall off the Kings Road is Powertone Studios. Power tone is a very small studio which if appropriate as you dont need much room as youre working on your powerplate the whole time. A powerplate looks like a futuristic hovercraft. The purposely unstable and vibrating powerplate maximizes the effect of your body weight exercises, makes you really engage your core and the vibrations stimulate your muscles.
25 mins of powerpate is supposedly the equilivlant of and hour and a half of heavy lifting, so I am A-OK with that! Considering I have been sore the next day of both times I've been, I would agree with that.
I have been to two of their HIIT classes where you do an exercise for a minute on the machine, from squats, to planks, kettlebells, they do it all. It is a great and super sweaty work out that is done very quickly (my fav part!) At the end of the session you also get to lay on the machine front and back for a massage to loosen up your muscles. I am a fan and will absolutely be back. read more
