‘I enjoy my Power Plate sessions and see a real difference
in my body shape and core strength. Trying the cellulite busting
programme seemed like a natural addition for me.
‘ There is no doubt that the massage sessions had a beneficial
effect. There is a definite reduction in the orange peel effect
and skin
feels smoother. However, the biggest effect was on my calves.
Measurements at the end of the course proved that my calves had thinned
down.
Never having been able to wear boots that zip up as my calves
were chunky, I am now delighted to boast that I can wear jeans tucked
into boots with zips!
‘As with most things, however, I do believe it’s a combination of
doing the right things that ensured a good result for me. I’m grateful
to Helen for introducing me to the cellulite programme and to making sure that
I worked hard (!) at it. For my own part, I didn’t miss a session and made
sure I ate properly and drank lots of water. A real ‘team effort’

“I have completed 12 sessions in 6 weeks and am amazed
at the difference in such a short period of time! I’ve lost
1.5cm off my hips, 3cm off my thighs and an incredible 5.5cm off
my waist!”
I originally bought a Block of 10 sessions and used
4 sessions before finding out I was pregnant. I planned to use
the remaining
6 once
I had my baby to get back in shape.
When Alfie was 4 months old,
I decided it was time to get back into some kind of fitness and
use my remaining Power Plate sessions.
After my first session back
in the studio, Helen approached me and asked if I would like to
take part in a newly developed Power
Plate
Post Natal programme. This programme was specifically targeted
at new mums like me who wanted to get their old shape back after
having
their baby.
I used to go to a gym and had thought about joining
one again after my son was born. This was problematic as a gym
is not
a safe environment
for a newborn and I would not be able to take him with me.
I would have had arrange childcare and try to fit in my training
sessions
between feeding and changing the naps. The solution was simple.
By going to a studioEH1’s Power Plate sessions twice
a week, with each session lasting only 25minutes, I could
bring Alfie with
me
and sit him beside the Plate in his car seat. Problem Solved!
Within
a short space of time, I began to feel the difference in
my body. I felt stronger, more energised and after 6 weeks
of sessions,
I have lost all of my baby weight. I’ve lost 1.5cm
off my hips, 3cm off my thighs and an incredible 5.5cm off
my waist!
I
am now
back into clothes that fitted me before being pregnant, but
most importantly, I feel like my old self again.
Power Plate
is tough but with a bit of hard work, the results are noticeable
very quickly. This gives you the incentive
to keep going.
It’s true what they say ‘No pain, No gain.’
It
is enjoyable and the Trainers are all very encouraging.
They all want you to succeed in your fitness goals, and will
help
you to achieve
them.
Joan Campbell, Age 42
General Manager, Sayegh Orthodontics Ltd
Following a move to Edinburgh
from Stornoway which meant a complete change of lifestyle, my
weight crept up. It was only when I began
to buy a size 16 in clothes that I knew something had to change.
Before moving to Edinburgh I had been eating sensibly and running
up to
four times a week. Not continuing with this regime had clearly
had an impact.
I tried various gyms and didn’t seem to find one that I liked,
similarly with fitness classes. At that point I met Helen and discovered
Power Plate® and studioEH1. I was hooked from the first time
I tried it and now do up to three sessions a week!
I can honestly
say that it was the quick results which gave me the motivation
I needed to start running again. I find that both
disciplines
work really well together. Power Plate® has actually helped
my running as it has increased my core strength, my stamina and
most
of all the strength in my legs. It has also encouraged me to enjoy
a healthy diet again which means I don’t have to deny myself
the occasional treat.
I know it’s not your actual weight
that matters so much, it’s
the shape you’re in and the shape you are – but by
sticking to Power Plate® I’ve actually lost over a stone
and a half too! However, the strongest result is felt when I go
clothes
shopping;
now I buy a size 10/12. I owe it all to Helen, Ian and the fantastic
team at studioEH1.
Over the years I have taken part in various
events including the New York Marathon and the 24 hour 3 Peak Challenge
which all include
fairly intensive training. I feel fitter now than ever before and
I do believe it’s down to the positive effect of Power Plate®.
The
benefits of Power Plate® can be seen very quickly, whether
you want an all over body workout or to target specific areas.
Like everything else in life, you only get out of it what you put
into
it. I guarantee that once you start Power Plate® you will want
to carry on – which doesn’t always happen in gyms!
It is fast, it is fun and it is fantastic.
And it’s true,
you can drop a dress size – or two – in
the same number of months, I did, and if I can, anyone can!
This
is what Power Plate® can do for YOU!

studioEH1 recently had the pleasure of training one of Scotland’s
leading actresses – Siobhan Redmond, a fan of Power Plate®,
trains regularly at the city centre studio in London.
Siobhan was up in Edinburgh starring in Bernarda Alba at Edinburgh’s
King’s Theatre and was using her sessions to help her prepare
for the demanding role.
Siobhan said: ‘With stage roles in particular, stamina is
important and Power Plate® has certainly helped me build mine.
When I’m touring it’s not always easy to find somewhere
to train however, when I’m at home in Edinburgh then I do
find regular visits to studioEH1 at the top of my list of things
to do.’
Ian Gray, Director of studioEH1 added: ‘We find that clients
come along for a variety of different reasons from improving fitness
to rehabilitation following injury or improving their body shape.
They really enjoy the friendly and professional atmosphere in our
studios and appreciate that every session is controlled by one of
our fully qualified Power Plate® Personal Trainers, there to
motivate, advise and ensure that every exercise is carried out with
the correct technical skills.
‘Siobhan’s job requires lots of stamina and there is
no doubt that Power Plate® can enhance this.
She is just one
of our many clients who find that training with us on a regular
basis helps them realise a whole host of benefits;
improved muscle definition, body shape changes, increased core
strength, more flexibility, better posture, weight loss and reduced
cellulite.
Sessions are short and sharp therefore relatively easy to fit
into a busy schedule.’
THE BRIDE BEFORE & AFTER!
Anne Winter, Radiographer
Age: 42
Western General Hospital
After getting engaged, I had realised that after two years of living
with my partner my weight had crept up by a stone. The incentive
was to look good on my wedding day! I wanted to drop a dress size
in four months. Even though I was going to the gym and fitness classes,
I was finding it difficult to fit them in around my shift patterns.
Nor was I noticing any real change to my general body shape.
I was
introduced to Power Plates® at a charity fashion show.
Inside the goody bag was a complimentary Power Plate® session.
Having read about them in various fashion mags and how they were
the secret exercise regime for the stars and how quickly one
can drop a dress size, I decided to give it a go!
Within one month
I noticed a difference. My clothes felt a lot loser, my body
tighter and I had become stronger. A session lasts
only 25
minutes which makes it easier to fit into my life, leaving
me more time for other activities. It’s 20 minutes of hard
work but Ian, Helen and the rest of the team are fantastic at keeping
me
going and motivated. A BIG thank you to studioEH1 for helping
me to drop
a dress size and look FABULOUS on my wedding day!!
