Intro to Whole Body Vibration

My name is Gen, I started this web site a couple of years ago to make it easier to find Pilates here in the greater Los Angeles area. My goal today is to get you interested in the latest technological advancements in the field of health and fitness: whole body vibration training.

I've been an athlete since I was a kid, starting with ice hockey and soccer, then on to varsity basketball and volleyball.

While in high school, I strained a ligament in my neck practicing advanced breakdance maneuvers and then later, after graduating from college, I was playing Gordon's Aeroball with some friends from work and I strained something in my mid-back. These two neck and back injuries would continue to plague me until I discovered hatha yoga, which I practiced diligently, eventually completely healing both chronic injuries, and in fact strengthening both those areas. Thus marked the beginning of my personal journey into what martial artists call internal martial arts - the understanding of the human body from the inside out.

I've been a member of chain gyms, studied a wide variety of movement forms including several forms of yoga, martial arts, Feldenkrais, private pilates and Gyrotonic and am a certified instructor of Artform. I've logged many hours on cardio and resistance training machines, and for all the benefits afforded by those varied exercise forms, it is whole body vibration machines (madonna does it) like the Hypergravity, TurboSonic, Pineapple and VibraFlex that I am jazzed about. These machines aren't just for fitness buffs and workouts, they are extremely useful for de-stressing your life, improving your health, and energizing the activities you already enjoy.
