FAQs
I want to tone - which equipment is for me?
Primarily, if you want to tone the Power Plate will produce results fast. It stimulates all of the body’s muscles for all-over toning. A 25 minute session on the Power Plate is equivalent to a one and a half hour workout, and you’ll see a change in your body shape within weeks. If you’re not ready to become a Powertone member, why not start by booking 10 Power Plate sessions - you’ll see definite improvement in this time.
The Powertone Narl will also help you to tone. It will reduce fat from around your waist, on your thighs and buttocks to give you a firmer, slimmer look. And the Powertone Vacustyler† can help you to achieve a smooth appearance in your lower body by reducing the appearance of cellulite.

I want to reduce cellulite - which equipment is for me?
If you want to reduce cellulite in your lower body, the Powertone Vacustyler† will do just that. Powertone Studios is proud to be the only studio in the UK to offer this bespoke machine. It improves circulation and strengthens connective tissue near the surface of the skin, allowing deposits of fat to be broken down and effectively ‘flushed out’ through the body’s lymphatic system. Studios in Europe are seeing the best results when the Vacustyler is used twice a week, in conjunction with powertoning and drinking 2 litres of water a day.

I want to get fit - which equipment is for me?
The Power Plate is a fun, fast and effective way to get fit. Suitable for all ages and body types, a 25 minute session on the Power Plate will achieve the same as a one and a half hour workout. The Power Plate works through full body vibration technology which naturally activates reflexive muscle contractions for all-over toning results that show - fast. It also stimulates endorphin production leading to a greater sense of well being.
You can use the Power Plate in any of our studios, or rent one for your own personal use at home. We also offer private personal training sessions with one of our friendly, professional coaches, who can guide you through your workout to make sure you are getting the most out of it.
If you’ve enjoyed using the Power Plate and want one in your office, we have excellent rates for executive hire.
I want to loose weight - which equipment is for me?
If you’re looking to reduce fat from around your waist, thighs and buttocks, the Powertone Narl is for you. Gentle ultrasound waves stimulate the production of the hormone Noradrenaline. This triggers the natural process of lipolysis, breaking down fat stored in fat cells and releasing free fatty acids into the bloodstream.
To maximise results, you should follow a session with the Narl with a workout on the Power Plate. The Power Plate is a fun, fast and effective way to loose weight. Suitable for all ages and body types, a 25 minute session on the Power Plate will achieve the same as a one and a half hour workout.

How often to I need to workout to see results?
All the machinery we offer will help you to look good and feel great fast. We do not recommend that you do more than three sessions on the Power Plate a week, but after ten sessions you will already see results.
If I join Powertone Studios am I limited to just one location?
Once you have your Powertone studio membership you can use it at any of our studios.
I’m out of shape and concerned about starting a workout that’s too intensive - is the Power Plate safe for me?
Before you begin a workout in one of our studios, our friendly and professional staff will go through your medical history with you. They will discuss any pre-existing conditions that you might have and tailor a bespoke programme that is safe and suitable for you.
The low impact workout that the Power Plate provides is specifically designed for rehabilitation purposes, to help people who are recovering from injury or those who are not yet at their peak physical condition. It has gradual settings that allow you to start off slowly, and build up when you feel ready to take it to the next level.
Does Powertone Studios offer membership?
The usual route that our clients take is to begin with a free trial session on the Power Plate. The next step is to buy sessions either at our casual rate of £20 per session, or by block booking ten sessions to take advantage of our discount (£160 for ten sessions). Once Powertoning has become part of your weekly routine, you may feel that you want to become a member.
How long does a workout take?
A session on the Power Plate takes just 20 minutes. It is sweat neutral, and you don’t need any special clothes or equipment. You can literally pop into one of our studios and be out again half an hour later, having enjoyed the equivalent of a one and a half hour workout.
