We bet you have an unused or rarely used treadmill, exercise bike, or stepper (remember those?) collecting dust or buried beneath a pile of storage boxes or other unused junk! I know we did until we got our own Whole Body Vibration Machine.
Say What? Whole Body Vibration? I know, you're thinking... it's got to be another gimmicky fitness machine. Think again!
With the simplest of motions you can take that first step to better health and a better sporting life. Let MVP Sports fill you in on how you too can easily take a positive step (or two or three) towards a better lifestyle.
"I use my TZone WBVM more than any other piece of fitness equipment I've ever owned... and I've purchased most of them. My VT-40 beats them all hands down. Using it daily not only makes me feel great but it's taken my Bowls, Golf and Curling games up a notch or two as well!" ... The Delivery Doctor.
T-Zone Vibration offers you the best of the Whole Vibration World!
At MVP Sports we believe your game will improve immeasurably when you incorporate a T-Zone session for just 10 minutes a day using any of the four available T-Zone machines below. With the smallest footprint of any useful fitness machine on the market we can almost guarantee that we will have a solution for even the smallest of spaces.
Perfect for apartments or travel!
At MVP Sports, you can try out the VT-8 in our Curling Pro Shop. Throughout the season WNCC and visiting curlers are welcome to come in and experience the benefits of Whole Body Vibration (WBV).
The Delivery Doctor takes our VT-8 to WOBA each year to the delight of Burl, Al and other WOBA Champions! He also takes it to displays and other events (OLB AGM's) for everyone to try.
The VT-8 can also be disassembled for travel with a screwdriver and Allan key (included) in less than 10 minutes. The VT-8 comes with a remote for easy on/off and speed control throughout your WBV session.
Solid Performance All Round!
The VT-15 and VT-20 sport a sturdy frame with only slight differences between the two units. These units are used in many of the T-Zone Fitness Centres throughout Canada and are a home favourite.
The VT-15 has 70 speeds and 8 pre-set programs while the VT-20 bumps up to 99 speeds and includes settings for relaxing massage, therapy and of course fitness training.
Built in to the VT-15 is a body fat monitor. The electronic panel display on the VT-20 provides instant feedback and allows you to monitor your steps taken, your pulse and includes a calorie counter.
The Total Workout Machine
It doesn't get any better than this!
The Delivery Doctor uses the VT-40 every day, incorporating stretch bands, medicine balls and some small weights into his daily routines.
Check out our video section for some of the exercises he does to improve his Bowls, Golf and Curling!
T-Zone WBV has enabled Dan and Brenda to save space in their home by giving away much of their old, rarely used fitness equipment!
10 Minutes a day using Whole Body Vibration on your T-Zone equals 60 minutes of walking, giving you 50 extra minutes a day to do the things you really want to do... only better!

Whole Body Vibration with a T-Zone oscillating machine is a total life enhancing experience. - Just ask anyone who has ever owned a T-Zone!
Although the first concept of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) was originally introduced by the Greeks a millenia ago, it wasn't until the early 1960's when modern studies in Germany began developing it in earnest. Shortly after, the Russians used WBV to help rehabilitate their cosmonauts after returning from space. WBV was used to help repair muscle tissue and loss of bone density from the effects of weightlessness in space. At the time, Russian cosmonauts were able to stay in space over twice as long as their American counterparts!
In the mid 70's Russian and other Eastern European athletes were using WBV to assist their athletes to gain more power, flexibility and enhance their overall performance... to great effect!
Today many sports teams across the world, as well as numerous, informed chiropractic and physio studios are using WBV to assist with the rehab of their patients.
We use our T-Zone VT-40 every day. - Dan and Brenda Milligan
Ok... maybe after a party or a night out on the town. That wouldn't be sage!... but perhaps the night out on the town wasn't such a good idea either?
You should probably wait half an hour or so after eating... maybe longer if you've just finished a festive meal!
Other than that I really can't think of a time when you can't or shouldn't use your T-Zone!
We have owned a treadmill, a recumbent bike, a rowing machine, a Gravity Edge weight machine and numerous other fitness machines... and in each case they soon collected dustballs. Not so with our T-Zone as it is in daily use by both Brenda and I and has been for the last 5 years! We'll bet you can't say that about your own fitness machines! - Dan and Brenda
Although we don't really need two, we actually have two T-Zone WBVMs. Our main T-Zone is the VT-40, complete with an assortment of diverse programs that enable us to change up our fitness routine daily if we wish. We have our VT-40 in our bowls showroom in our home. Even though it's the largest of the T-Zone machines it takes up so little space it doesn't seem like it gets in the way of any of the coaching sessions I provide for customers. Take a look at the photo on the right to see what I mean
We also have a VT-8 (The Pod!) in our Curling Pro Shop where space is at a premium. This is a great little machine that due to it's light weight I can disassemble (taking off handles only) and cart to shows, tournaments and displays on a moment's notice. At the same time it is stable enough to do most of what we do on our VT-40.
Regardless of which T-Zone you choose the footprint is sooooo much smaller than most other fitness machines you might have had in the past.
... so check out the "20 Benefits" section below. Ok, ok... so there are more than 20 benefits listed there... but quite honestly there just isn't enough space to list the plethora of benefits of using a T-Zone whole body vibration machine. It all really comes down to your health.
We're guessing you do and we want to help you achieve your fitness and health goals. We know there is no better exercise machine out there than a T-Zone WBVM to achieve those goals. T-Zone machines are safe, quiet, and have a smaller footprint than other fitness machines. Whole Body Vibration is simply the best way to get in shape and stay in shape... safely and wisely!
"It is so much more useful than other fitness equipment." - The Delivery Doctor

Seriously, try one out and you'll know exactly why whole body vibration, and more specifically WBV with a T-Zone is the perfect fit for you.
You are more than welcome to try one of our machines. Come on down to our Curling Pro Shop and try out the VT-8 or make an appointment to use the VT-40 in our Bowls Showroom. Nothing would make us happier than to see the smile on your face as you feel the benefits of using one of our machines.
Anyone can use a T-Zone whole body vibration machine (WBVM). Young... old... and everyone in between can experience the benefits of regular use of their WBVM.
If you can walk you can use a T-Zone! Alban Frigault, (Mr. T-Zone)
The list of types of T-Zone users is limitless. Some use it for weight loss. In a recent National T-Zone contest a local resident lost a whopping 61.5 inches... yes you read that correctly... 61.5 inches! Others have noticed appreciable relief from Osteoperosis, elderly who are concerend about loss of bone density as they age, sports folk who swear by it for both warmups and warmdowns, those wishing to build strength while doing an aerobic activity, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists who use it both as a pre-appointment patient routine and as an intergral part of their therapy programs.
The list of people using T-Zone whole body vibration goes on and on and includes doctors (stress relief, massage etc), athletes and sports teams (warmups, warmdowns, full workouts), office workers (sedentary work habits lead to many physical problems and these workers notice immediate results from the use of their T-Zone), and especially those who don't exercise because they believe they don't have the time.
T-Zone is perfect for practically anyone!
Like Alban said... "If you can walk you can use a T-Zone!" I believe him but there are a few contraindications that anyone should be aware of... not just with T-Zone but with any fitness program. See your physician first! You've all heard that before and using a T-Zone is no different. Some of the common contraindications include: if you're pregnant; if you have active cancer; an implant or any medical condition. It doesn't mean you can't use a T-Zone to help you, but we do recommend that you consult with your health practioner first before embarking on this or any new program!
I use it every morning after waking up... every morning! I play a lot of golf, curl a lot and do a yeoman's share of demonstrating and coaching bowls. I can't imagine what it would be like to do any of these activities without first using my T-Zone.
The above daily routine works for me whether I'm golfing, bowling or curling. I would not be able to function and excel in any of the sports I love without my T-Zone. I've even gotten into the habit of taking our VT-8 with me to WOBA. Everyone thinks I'm flogging it (truth be told I am!) but quite frankly it's really quite selfish of me in that the first thing I do every morning at WOBA is head into the clubhouse and get on my T-Zone! That is if I can kick Al or Burl or one of the other converts off of it first! - Dan

Testimonials?
Back in 2007, while training in Windsor Ontario for the Paralympics, I was introduced to Whole Body Vibration. Now that I have moved back home, T-Zone St.Thomas allows me to continue with my vibration workouts for the upcoming Paralympic Games in London England. I am a track and field athlete and due to my cerebral palsy, I have issues with stability and flexibility…both of these issues has greatly improved with WBV. I love the fact that I can work both upper and lower body in about 20 minutes as opposed to 60 minutes plus at the gym. WBV offers me a low impact type of workout that engages many muscle groups which translates into more strength, improved stability, less recovery time after injury and measured results. Since Oct., I am down 2.5 inches. Although I was very fit when joining T-Zone St.Thomas, the last few inches of fat loss is always the hardest. I love how I got results in such a short amount of time. My personal coach recently attended a coach's clinic in the USA where some of North America’s best track and field coaches were boasting about Whole Body Vibration. They highly recommend it to their athletes for strength training, flexibility and balance improvements. Whether you are an athlete or not…Whole Body Vibration is a kind to joints workout for everyone! Megan M.
I...used [T-Zone Whole Body Vibration machine] twice a day while at home and the results were amazing. I wish I had a unit on the road. I cannot wait till I get home to go it regularly again. I felt it "woke up" and toned so many muscles I didn't even know I had. My lower back has been much improved and stable after 2 weeks use. Even with 2 weeks away from my unit. I still feel the benefit. Randy Bachman
Two weeks ago, I was walking with a cane. I had a hip replacement 10 yrs. ago and it had started to become difficult to walk. I could only walk a short distance. I had x-rays taken to see if there were problems with my hip and I was told that things where fine. Nothing that they could do. My son told me about vibration and how it had helped his knees. I was skeptical at first but decided I would try it. After 3 sessions of vibrating for 10 minutes, I am 95% better! Walking without a cane, going 3 times as far. B. B. 76 yrs.
Been using the machine since last Monday and love it! I weighed myself Tuesday and today I am down 4 lbs!! Leilani B.
Thank you Tzone!! In a total of 5 weeks, I lost 23 pounds and 14inches across my body!! No more back pain, feeling much better. But ain’t over yet! Two weeks to go 'till my wedding and I know you'll still help me look my best on my special day!!! Danielle W.
I have recently lost a lot of weight and need to stop focusing on the scale! My first month I lost 14 inches and gained 2 pounds of muscle back!! I personally love it!! It's helping me tone and tighten my loose skin! Donna L.
Wife started as post op hip replacement therapy. When I saw results I started for circulation help, to my amazement dropped 10 lbs in 2 weeks....Awesome!!! Recommended to brother for post op both knee replacement, he’s doing great, hopes to get back on the links this year, something he couldn't foresee before T-Zone. Chris T.
I look forward to my T-Zone session everyday. I have been going everyday for 2 weeks and I love it. Thank you for putting a studio in Huntsville. Monica A.
After having several knee operations, my left knee is inflamed and makes walking and getting up from a sitting position difficult. Although I walk the dog, sometimes by the time I'm walking back, my knee is really sore. I started using T-Zone Vibration technology about 3 weeks ago. My knee is less swollen and it's much easier rising from sitting on the couch. I don't have to pause once I'm up before I can start to walk. Yesterday I went for a walk with my husband for 52 minutes and was able to keep up with him! I feel better, I can kneel on my knees, which I was never able to do before because they were numb. T- Zone Vibration is fun and easy and only takes 10 minutes. S.D. 56 yrs
I have a herniated disk (L3) in my lower back for which I have received extensive physiotherapy and chiropractic work over the past 7 years. My symptoms include, from not being able to walk to lack of sleep every night. I use the VT7 every second day for 10- 12 minutes and have not needed any help from my chiropractor or physiotherapist since June of 2008 (seven months). The only change I have made is the use of the VT7 machine. It has increased my core strength and I believe that has been the answer to my problems. Everyone should have a VT7!!!! L.D.,
In March 2008, I had a heart attack that required a bypass. On April 23 2008, I had a quadruple heart bypass with Mitral valve replacement. After 18 weeks, I started using the vibration machine (VT7), for 30 seconds per day for 1 week, adding 30 seconds each week until I was up to 10 minutes. My rehab at the hospital has been greatly enhanced by the exercise program that I do. I am able to walk 5 km in 42 minutes at a speed of 1.4 miles per hour, or cycle on stationary bike for 30 minutes (16.5 km) without any discomfort. I am very grateful to T-Zone Health to have introduced this technology to my family. A.F.,
I enjoy using the T-Zone vibration therapy as an adjunct to my exercises that I do for strengthening my knees and my quads. I can do many of the exercises advised by physio, on the machine, thereby intensifying the effect, allowing me to pack more into less time. I noticed the results in a few weeks. Donna,
I just want to share my experience with your vibration machine. I could tell after 3 or 4 uses that it was working. I had an old back injury that would flair up from time to time. I had been told the way to fix it was to improve my core strength, particularly the lower back area next to the spine. I could feel the T-Zone machine working that part of my back right away. My back has been noticeably better ever since. As I continued to use the machine, I also noticed my waist line decrease because of my core muscles strengthening. This form of exercise is great for me because I am very busy and don't have lots of time to go to the gym every day. Thanks for introducing me to the T-Zone! P.G.,
I am 36 years old, injured my back when I was 28. The doctors told me (6 specialists) that I had the back of an 80 year old woman. I tried everything, 2 months of therapy every day, massage, you name it I tried it! I had been to a Chiropractor before and didn't like it but my neck had also gotten injured so I decided to try it again. 5 years later, I'm still here, but not as often. I can even work out, coach volleyball and garden, thanks to Dr. Vollrath and his wife Colleen. I want to also mention the whole body vibration machine. I have been using the machine for 4 weeks and I must say that it really works! Not only am I more flexible, I'm stronger. I have not done one single sit up or crunch other than on the machine and I can now get through an ab workout that previously would have taken me a month to work through! On my first try, I did the entire workout by just going on the machine 4 - 5 times a week and crunching my abs for 1 - 2 minutes. I've combined the machine with cardio and weights and the results are amazing! If I don't feel like working out, I will just go on the machine and it helps. I just can't say enough about it and Valley Chiropractic. I have went from being unable to stand straight up and unable to put any weight on my left leg to being able to now walk, run, jump and do pretty much anything I want within reason. Thank you so much! V.G.,
I bought the T-Zone Vibration machine hoping it would help with aiding in a diet I was about to undertake. I lost 27 pounds in 4 weeks....I use the T-Zone in the morning to get my metabolism going and in the evening to help relax tense muscles from the day. The machine is no effort to use at all. We just jump on it while watching TV and it does all the work for you, all you have to do is turn it on. A. W.
