Advantages and goals

VIMODROM is clearly different from ordinary gyms: no more hours of training, several times a week, without supervision, in an anonymous large-scale fitness centre, on a multitude of machines.

The advantages of our concept at a glance:

  • Only 2×10 minutes of training per week
  • Customised scheduling
  • Permanent 1:1 support
  • Microstudio concept

No matter whether

  • Deep muscle strengthening
  • Compensation of muscular imbalances
  • Release muscle tension
  • Quick relief from back pain
  • Weight reduction
  • Prevention

… we work together to achieve your personal goals!

Our training is ideal for

Anyone who has very little time but has high demands on their fitness level and health.

Due to its medical therapeutic orientation, VIMODROM is suitable for

  • Pain patients and
  • all those who invest in their health and prevention,
  • Anyone who wants to build up muscles quickly and gently after surgery.

Whether young or old, beginner or experienced athlete, the training concept is customised to the goals and needs of our members.

Personal training and individualised support allow us to avoid having to define or narrow down a specific area.

Time saving

10 minutes of vibration training can replace up to 90 minutes of conventional strength training. With just 2×10 minutes of intensive vibration training per week, the same training results can be achieved as with at least 180 minutes of strength training in the gym.

Personal training

Not only our members, but also we, demand a very high standard of quality for the 10-minute training session.

Our staff are specially trained personal trainers who organise intensive and varied training sessions.

Every training programme that is carried out is of high quality. We therefore attach great importance to strong communication skills and the social and professional expertise of the entire team.

Individual training planning

Each training session is customised to the wishes, goals and complaints of each individual member and is planned, instructed and carried out according to how they feel on the day.

The training is carried out with 100% focus on our members and close to the member. Our members receive constant correction and motivation in the execution of their training.

Strengthening deep muscles

One advantage of vibration training is that it strengthens the deep muscles.
During vibration training, the deep muscle fibres are also targeted for strengthening – thanks to the freely selectable vibration frequency.

And that means: in contrast to conventional strength training in the gym, vibration training no longer requires additional time-consuming training combined with holding exercises (yoga, Pilates) for the deep muscles.

Synchronised activation (whole body training)

When training with vibration, almost all motor units are activated synchronously. This means that you can now complete a full body workout with vibration training in the same time that you could previously only train a few muscle groups.

Vibration training also involves the synchronised activation of agonists and antagonists. This also speaks in favour of significantly more efficient training: imagine, for example, training biceps and triceps at the same time.

Gentle on the joints

Vibration training is “load-free”, as the training intensity is not created by high weights but by the vibration. This is much gentler on the joints and the entire musculoskeletal system of the body.
In vibration training, the intensity of the training is generated by the strength of the vibration. This makes it possible to train in a way that is gentle on the joints without additional strain from dumbbells or weights.

Compensation of muscle imbalances

Muscular imbalances are defined as increased muscle shortening and/or muscle weakening between agonists and antagonists.
Vibration training creates a targeted control of muscle groups. This is an advantage and is particularly important when muscular differences need to be equalised.
For example, sitting at a desk in an office for hours on end leads to a shortening of the chest muscles and at the same time to a weakening of the shoulder and back muscles.

Effects of vibration on strength

The vibrations can generate a stronger contraction of the muscle than with voluntary force development. The fast-twitch muscle fibres and the deep muscles, which are used for stabilisation, have also been proven to be stimulated.

Maximum strength and strength endurance

Untrained people can only control around 40 to 70% of their strength potential in an uncontrolled manner. The vibrations reduce the strength deficit between maximum and absolute strength because the motor units are better synchronised and activated by the vibrations. Not only is there a significant increase in strength, studies have also shown that vibration training noticeably increases strength endurance.

Building up the muscles

The increase in muscle mass is closely linked to the aforementioned increases in maximum strength through vibration training. The increase in muscle circumference, especially in the chest, arms and legs, is noticeable after just a few weeks of vibration training.

Improved posture – less back pain

According to recent studies, back pain is the number one widespread disease in Germany. This is due to an imbalance in the supporting muscles in the back, abdomen and pelvic floor. With vibration training, these muscle groups, which are difficult to train, can be targeted and trained effectively. Remarkable results can be achieved, particularly with the most widespread ailment of back pain, and pain can be largely eliminated after a very short time. The simultaneous correction of compensatory incorrect posture improves posture and increases mobility.

Weight and fat reduction

Vibration training favours a long-lasting reduction in body weight and fat: the targeted strengthening of the muscles increases the metabolism, which leads to a sustained higher calorie burn. There is a significant increase in the basal metabolic rate due to the sustained build-up of lean muscle mass.
The resulting weight reduction gives your body firmer connective tissue and a more attractive silhouette.

Release muscle tension

Vibration training stimulates blood flow to the muscles and thus helps to relieve tension or hardening of the muscles, contractures or nodules.
Targeted mobilisation training combined with vibration loosens the muscles within seconds.

Balance training

The constant vibrations cause the body to lose its natural balance. The body now unconsciously uses muscle contractions to regain its balance.

Muscle building after surgery

Several studies have shown that targeted vibration training can effectively accelerate muscle recovery after an operation.

Increasing performance in sport

In many sports, strength ability has a performance-reducing effect. However, vibration training is advantageous here if sport-specific strength is to be built up and improved and if imbalances are to be compensated for.
Vibration training is also a time-saving alternative to conventional strength training, especially in competitive sports with many technique and tactic-specific training units. Injuries can be prevented by stabilising the muscles.
