Florida Group Health Insurance

MIAMI, FL – Group Benefit Agency Inc., a leader in employee benefits and group health care for small business between 5 and 100 employees; today announced a new partnership with one of the nation's leading workout equipments, Power Plate out of Northbrook, IL. This partnership will allow Group Benefit Agency, apply its “Healthy Employees = Healthy Bu$ine$$” as part of GBA's combined insurance and wellness programs for healthcare cost cut initiatives. "GBA is impressed with Power Plate’s fast results and the ability to fit in small spaces" said the president of Group Benefit Agency. "We researched many other alternatives and felt Power Plate was the best partner to help us achieve our goal of delivering better and faster healthy transformations on high risk employees and allow businesses to reduce healthcare insurance cost." Under the terms of the agreement, GBA will use a new Gym-In-A-Box exercise technology, to provide in-house exercise for small businesses. Included in the partnership deal are my3™ and my5™ Power Plate Series. The equipment will only take a 4’x4’ office space.

“If you stand on the machine’s vibrating plates for 10 minutes a day three times a week, you will lose weight, increase bone density and improve your overall health” says Omar Arcia, certified Power Plate sales agent. “Power Plate uses whole-body vibration to contract muscles 30 to 50 times per second. The continual vibration causes you to tense and relax your muscles to keep your balance. That’s an intense workout with little effort.” “To get the most out of the Power Plate, you can’t just stand. The best approach is to perform the same exercises you would do on the floor—squats, tricep dips, push-ups and the like. Your muscles fatigue quicker, so the exercise routine will be shorter” says Catherine Sharick of Time Magazine on a September 5th, 2006 article.

“This is not a magic bullet that helps people lose weight without doing anything”, says Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. “If you are a healthy individual, whole-body vibration training should be a supplement to a sensible diet and exercise program.” “Good therapy is another benefit of whole-body vibration for people with physical illness such as arthritis or osteoporosis. George Waylonis, a clinical professor emeritus of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Ohio State University, conducted a study on the effects of whole-body vibration on patients with fibromyalgia, a disease that causes constant full-body pain. Waylonis studied the Power Plate and the Galileo, another vibration exerciser, and was impressed by both” says Sharick. “Whole-body vibration seems to be a way for people in pain to exercise their muscles and ultimately feel better”, says Waylonis.
