The Power Plate is an innovative vibration platform that is popular in home gyms, fitness centers and health facilities around the world. Pro athletes, fitness enthusiasts and medical patients all choose Power Plate for its range of benefits such as increasing bone density, muscle recovery, flexibility, blood circulation and weight loss. Power Plate makes eight different models with a range of different features and price points for different customers.
The purpose of this article is to compare two of Power Plate’s high-end vibration plates for home use; the my5 power plate and the my7. We will take a look at the features, technical specifications and key differences between these two models, and we’ll give our recommendations based on the above criteria.
The Power Plate my5 is one of Power Plate’s most popular home models. The my5 comes equipped with 3 frequency options between 30-40Hz, pre-programmed quick start buttons, and a remote control that operates all exercise programs. The my5 platform can also withstand a max load of up to 300lbs. It’s a great choice for those who want a commercial-level vibration plate with a core set of features intended for home use.
The my5 offers a frequency range of 30-40Hz, a vibration energy output (amplitude) of low, medium, or high, and G-Factor™ settings ranging from 0-8 with 30 intensity levels. It has a platform dimension of 27in x 28in, weight capacity of 300lb, and a power supply of 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz Universal Voltage. The my5 also features a user-friendly touch screen display, proMOTION handles, and a set of workout straps.
The Power Plate my7 is Power Plate’s top-of-the-line home fitness unit. The my7 comes equipped with a virtual trainer, touch screen display, adjustable frequency, time selections, vibration energy output, and G-Factor™ settings. It is a versatile piece of fitness equipment suitable for both home and commercial use. The my7 is a great choice for those who want customizable workouts focused on improving strength, flexibility, and overall fitness.
The my7 offers a frequency range of 30-40Hz, a vibration energy output (amplitude) of low, medium, or high, and G-Factor™ settings ranging from 0-8 with 30 intensity levels. It has a platform dimension of 33in x 27in, weight capacity of 350lb, and a power supply of 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz Universal Voltage.

The Power Plate my5 and Power Plate my7 are both vibration platforms designed for home use that offer customizable workouts to improve strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. The my7 offers a wider frequency range, higher weight capacity, more time selections, and more G-Factor™ settings than the my5. However, the my5 is more compact and affordable, making it a great choice for those with limited space or a smaller budget. The my5’s color can also be customized for an additional fee. Both models come with a user-friendly touch screen display, but the my7 also includes a virtual trainer and over 1,000 pre-programmed workouts.
