December 31, 2009 Mobile, ALABAMA—Jason’s Fitness, Mobile’s oldest health club, will celebrate  its 30^th anniversary in 2010.  Over the past 30-years Jason’s Fitness has been the first to introduce  many things to the Mobile area.  Everything from one-on-one personal training to 24-Hour access  health club memberships, but owner Jason Greene admits even he did not see this coming.  Whole Body Vibration technology first came into existence due to the space race between the USA  and USSR.  The Soviet Space Program discovered that vibration technology was a great way to  combat decreased bone density in astronauts.  In the 1990’s the technology made its way to Europe, and began to make its way into the fitness  market. Thanks to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) you can work all muscle groups, not only those  aligned longitudinally. WBV works like a wake up call to the body, by stimulating the  musculoskeletal structure, the vibration starts exciting the tissue cells via the “Stretch Reflex”. This  creates an overall increase of blood circulation throughout the entire body, even in places that struggle  to get blood. The immediate effect can be felt as the muscles are able to work faster and more  efficiently, therefore creating a more productive workout.  Jason Greene said “I was aware of the technology, but to be honest I thought it was some kind of  gimmick.  Then one of our vendors that we sell retail home fitness equipment for brought it back to  my attention.  When I told him I was a skeptic he suggested I check the research.  The research was  convincing, but it was not until we got the unit on the floor and started trying it out on our own clients  that I was blown away.”  So, what is it?  Some say it looks a lot like an oversized bathroom scale.  Others  contend it looks more like something out of a science fiction movie due to the  space age controls and led read outs.  Can you say beam me aboard Scotty?  Whole Body Vibration training is currently being used by everyone from  celebrities like Madonna and Oprah to professional athletes in every major sport  and the studies continue to pour in.  “The most exciting thing about this  technology in my opinion is the application for the highly deconditioned  individual” Greene said.  “Think about a man or woman who has done nothing  for 30, 40 or even 50-years.  They are overwhelmed and intimidated at the very  idea of exercise.  With the vibration platform you can start off by simply  standing.  We literally have something for a person who is starting at ground zero  and we can build up from there.”   For more information or a demonstration of Whole Body Vibration please  contact: Jason Greene at Jason’s Fitness 3724 Cottage Hill Rd.
