Today on the podcast we sit down with PLATEFIT creator and founder, Rachael Blumberg. On this episode we discuss Rachael’s inspiring journey in fitness, entrepreneurship, and the incredible technology of the medical grade vibrating plates that are used in the 27-minute PlateFit classes! 

PLATEFIT classes are taken on medical grade devices that utilize rapid harmonic vibration — a unique means of destabilizing the body. This destabilization forces reflexive, subconscious neuromuscular action, in both muscular and connective tissue, in order to re-balance the body and maintain stability. The plates are always moving three directions at once: left to right, front to back, up and down. The vibration activates your muscle reflexes, and during the workout classes, muscles are contracting 30 to 50 times per second — roughly 900 – 1,500 contractions every 30 seconds

The benefits of the class include: increased muscle toning, serotonin, bone density, endurance, increased metabolism, lymphatic drainage and blood flow, and a decrease in cortisol levels, among many others. We are huge fans of PLATEFIT, which is fun, challenging, and allows you to break a sweat in just 27 minutes. 

Rachael is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and knowledgeable Power Plate® instructors in the industry and her mission is to help individuals achieve their goals, while feeling good in their bodies and in their lives. We loved this conversation with Rachael, learned so much about the power plate technology, the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and why you should never be deterred by "no!"
