I was going to like it, but then it wouldn’t be at 69 votes anymore so I just decided to comment my thumbs up 👍
Bingo. Nice.
J.P ate a 20 day old pack of gas station noodles, this is what happened to his brain.
I am addicted to this machine! After 3 sessions, my sleep has improved!
Going in my first time today , thanks for sharing because I definitely need help with sleep,
Have you noticed improvement with face and or different parts with the skin?
Really I'm going to try Monday
As a note to all, please wear the eye-protection googles and don't look into the light, you'll ruin your eyes. FYI - they're $3 at the counter. Also, the lights appear white to your eyes, but the infrared will show up in video or in a pic/selfie.
I used the machine for the first time yesterday and it looked like a light purple to me. I thought they set the machine up wrong. Thanks for alleviating that concern (I forgot my eye protection, but hopefully once won't make me blind).
My eyes were stressed af without the protection
@@gerarddicairano4974 me too!
They have the gold stickers also to put over ur eyes, they r free
I was told the red lights are actually good for your eyes ( even though it’s bright) it helps ward off glaucoma and other eye issues!
Your instructions are always so clear and paced slowly enough even for an old lady like me! I have weight trained since the early 80s, and stopped about 10 years ago. Now that I am 70, I recognized the saying use it or lose it is doubly true for seniors. I am back at the gym every third day at Planet Fitness. You inspire me!
I just joined PF and purchased the black card membership. I received a tour of everything, but want to know how to use the machines safely and effectively. Thank you for this great video.
Same.
I tried this for the first time yesterday for a 5 min starter session. I’ll I was basically told was to step in and push the power button. Thanks to you I now know how the heck to use this machine that I’ve been curious about. I’ll be using it again and on a regular basis to see how it can benefit me. Thank you for your tutorial!
SAME! This video was very helpful!
YES! I tried to use it once and was given no instruction. I stepped in fully clothed and then got freaked out that I might be burning out my eyeballs, so I just set outside for the rest of the session! 😀
Did you benefit anything at all by now?
@@lm0703😂😂😂
I had no idea what those stickers were for
Thanks Kev for your help. You give great information to guide us through these fabulous machines.
This is gold, thank you! I did my first session this morning and can’t wait to continue!
This was super informative, thank you!
Great video! I was curious to learn about this machine. Thank you for posting this information. Definitely gonna try it this weekend.
Thank you. That was a very good and thorough explanation. I've been going to planet fitness for a few years with a black card and wondered about that.
Dude! I've seen this machine..used it once but didn't know how to use it as the front desk never explained it to me. I've just used the hydromassage chairs. Thanks for explaining this as now imma used this and see if I notice anything different after my workouts.
Hey, Steffy! Yes it’s definitely a mysterious machine that required some time to figure out but I’m glad I could help! Now you can enjoy both the vibrations/red lights from the TBE and the HydroMassage!
Same
Great vid and it's an awesome machine. I also agree to check out the hydro massage as well. Enjoy y'all!
Any difference?
Hi Staffy..
I just noticed it today. Front desk clueless on how it works.
This video broke it down.
So how is it? Do you see improvement?
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for your explanation
THANK YOU I was very curious about this machine...now It's way less intimidating.. will be using this tomorrow
Thank you, this was very informative.
Thank you! Great information!
I have been using it since June. I can tell a difference in my skin, especially my arms and legs. My dermatologist was very encouraging about the red light therapy when I told her I was doing it. Also, you need eye protection you know! I do the vibra shake on 4 and do ten minutes. I had to skip two weeks and just got back today. I had skin cancer surgery on my back two weeks ago and they took the stitches out today. I was gone to the mountains one week. I was hurting and it really felt good to get back in the machine and the gym in general. The BIG thing I have noticed is I have arthritis in my shoulders, one knee and hands. That is always much better after a session. I can really tell a difference in my pain level. So I have done three months, average 3 times a week and then missed, and can really tell a difference in how I feel. I believe it will really help get through the colder months with less arthritis pain. I also feel that it will help with the healing of the back surgery, it was very deep and they said there are two more layers of stitches underneath, so I am having to limit myself to lower body workouts only.
Hi, if you have been using it since June, is there any chance it had anything to do with the skin cancer, or was that pre-existing? I know these fluorescent bulbs aren’t supposed to emit UV rays.
what kind of eye protection do you use ? last time i got infrared therapy and my eyes were literally burning so they had to stop
Does it help with acne?
Can’t wait to try !!! Thank you!!!
Thanks My daughter and I will start using it very soon at PF!
Thanks for this video. I too have used this twice as a new member at PF eith almost no instructions. I will now try the different intensities and make sure to wear my tanning bed goggles. And a tip for older clients, or anyone with bladder control issues- MAKE SURE YOU PEE FIRST. The warmth and the jiggle are an accident waiting to happen. Lol😂
I'm definitely going to try this.
I just joined too. And would rather know how to use it before trail and error. Thanks for the vid
Tomorrow, I'm going into this machine at Planet Fitness. I'm ready! I'm to be honest, VERY EXCITED!! It looks a little bit Futuristic! And It takes about the same amount of time as it does to have a Cat Scan, and I've had a lot of those. Basically, all I have to do is hold completely still in the machine, while the machine does the vibration, and while I'm inside of the red lights! This is going to be fun!
Thank you. Very informative .
This is absolutely amazing
Thanks so
Much great video really helps😊😊😊😊😊😊
I can’t wait to try it now
I use and enjoy it before workouts.
You are supposed to hold onto the bars that the air blows out of in these machines. The tanning ones have stickers that tell you to hold them instead of the straps that hang down
Thanks Kev!! You’re awesome.
You’re welcome, 777sweet! Appreciate it!
I use this machine after every work out. I had already done some research on RF light therapy and was surprised to find my local Planet Fitness had one when I signed up. I use it after every workout. It most certainly does improve skin condition. I had good skin to begin with and was surprised when I learned from using the machine that there was room for improvement. Using it on a regular basis improves so many things I'm not going to list them. If you think it's all placebo effect, do some research.
Just gonna add, they've done research into placebo and even if the user knows it's placebo they still report some level of benefit. I'm not smart enough to really understand it beyond our brains and emotions being powerful enough to make bullshit real to a certain extent.
Ya know we can't warp reality, but we can change our perception or something like that. So... I mean so long as this machine isn't killing you, you got nothing to lose really using it.
What benefits did you personally experience?
Uauuuu! That was great! Thank you so much!!
Going in now. This is very helpful. Thank you!
Enjoy!!!
Amazing video!
Nice Video and explanation. Just curious should we cover hair/head as well or just Eyes enough?
Also, Does it affects the hair??
I have an older version at my gyms wish we had the never one. Would make much more sense as for every time I use it, it takes forever to set andjust it. Thank you for sharing...
Thank you very much for this video I truly try using it to day but in my gym it was not working only the light was on and I ask for assistance but the people who are supposed to now thy could tell me neither 😢
Will try it out tomorrow with you Guidance thanks so much
Thank you for this information. I have had a classic membership at pf for years. I got to try the massage chair because of a promotion. I loved it! I am going to upgrade because I want to use all the benefits. ❤ (I am already going on a regular basis a few times a week. $15 more for the benefits of massage and red light therapy is great. However, if you are new to the gym, a classic membership is the best choice.)
Thanks in advance. I start this morning in an hour. I'm gonna try this after workout. However I heard about red light time ago. There's a lot of benefits for this.
Great video!
Which Planet Fitness was this filmed at?
Im using the glasses for tanning, protect your eyes is really important 😎👍💖 this is my 2nd time, hopefully helps me to relax and sleep better 😴😴😴
PF sounds like a killer deal for $25/month.
Is it better than the hydro massage bed for tight tendons/ muscles and after workout relaxation?
I used this machine along with my daily routine a few years ago. I can honestly say that I saw results. Good video!
what was the result? and was it permanent?
@@NateWithWho I actually started to see some toning and definition in my legs and abs. With anything you have to continue with the maintenance. Unfortunately, for me at that time, I lost my mom so my routine went down the tubes. However, I recently got back into after a long hiatus and it’s just been three weeks and I’m definitely seeing improvement.
@@jaywest7019 Sorry about your mom. Btw, PF only allow max 12 mins per session which I felt like might not be enough?
I've used this machine 3 times. I have large, dark "freckles." (age spots! LOL!) and already, they are fading. One of the machines at my location is very temperamental, I can't always get the vibrating plate to start, but a gentle shaking seems to loosen my muscles. I'll have to try the hydromassage next!
Great machine! Love the red light and vibration mix. I have only done level 2, but i am looking forward to level 4 on my next visit.
My planet fitness light is not red though? Should it be red or are they not red lights
Yes. They should be red.
Are they red when it's on cool down or starts?
Mine look white when running, but are definitely red.
Ask the front desk about the machine. Ask how old the bulbs are and why they are not red.
Make sure it's the total body enhancement machine and not a "mix" light machine. IE: red, blue, and tanning mix.
@@nicoleweldon5683 ok I def will because I def feel they should be red. Thank you.
Yeah some are combo tanning TBE
I have used this machine twice, not really knowing all the benefits. Thanks for the clarity. PF should compensate you for this video. 😊
Hi Kev, in your video for the vibration it’s not clear if you are switching with the +- or the arrows. In each picture your finger is in a different place. I did it for the first time this week and couldn’t get the vibration to work so was hoping for a super clear answer. Thanks!
The one at my gym the lights do not stay red, it shouldn't do that correct? The light looks almost light purple color
I have a partial knee replacement. Can I use this?
I feel like a lot of people in these comments are getting into the stand up tanning bed and dont know any better and that scares me .
I’d like to know if I can tan after using the machine. I know this doesn’t tan you but I don’t want too much Uv Exposure.
On the machine at the PF where I work out, the lights are NOT red. More like yellow. Does this mean the lights are old and need to be replaced?
I used it once. Never again!! I felt like I was in an earthquake!
Same here😅😅
You probably put it on the high vibration like I did the first time. It made my stomach hurt for about an hour afterwards. I use low vibration now. Much better.
FYI. . the bars that have the fan blowing out of them are where you hold your hands.
Can I use it after surgery
Are all the lights supposed to be red? When I stepped into mine, only 2 were red, the ones in the front.
How’d you know?! I’ve been searching for this!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for your tutorial! Prior to it, I didn't know what the HECK I was doing!!!😂😂😂
I did notice that at your Planet Fitness the infrared lights seemed to emit a much deeper hue than the ones at my Planet Fitness....🤔
Are there different intensities for the infrared lights as well?🤷♀️
True his light look more red but it might be maybe through the phone idk my machine is brand new and it wasn’t this red I only used it once so maybe you can change that
It's just the camera doing that. They glow white via your eyes.
Is the EMF high ? 🔴
👍 Good video, very informative. The employee at my local planet fitness didn't even have half of the knowledge when I asked him about the machine... Do you feel your body getting more tone when using this machine along with your regular work out and diet ?
Hey, LilMalice! Thanks so much! The vibrations definitely engage your muscles but I’d say you’d need to already have a low body fat level and consistently strength train to see results from this after long term use. I can see how this supplements tone but I imagine healthy eating, cardio and lifting weights will go further.
The employees I have ran into there are pretty much useless.
My daughter said her acne scars are disappearing along with stretchmarks. She has these due to weight gain from her PCOS and hysterectomy.
They should get an emerald laser machine too. Id pay extra for that one for sure 😁
Question, can you bring in your cellular device into the machine to hear music or is that not recommended?
Hey, there! There weren’t any signs in the machine to suggest otherwise; also there’s a Bluetooth button inside the machine to play music from a personal device (although it doesn’t work)!
I couldn’t get the light to turn red. It was clear the entire time.
Can you just close your eyes or is that not enough?
Does this actually work?
Ok my gym light are just white? There is not red????
Does the front desk have to turn it on? When I pressed the power button it didn't work and I thought maybe the machine is broken
It sounds like it’s the same as the massage chairs and stuff. You go to the front to get them turn it on.
I tried it a few times and I had to figure out how to make it vibrate and change settings on my own because the staff didn’t know how although they were very nice and tried to help. I have had tendinitis or (tennis elbow) in my right elbow, for 3 months now, and the pain definitely stopped after 3 sessions in this machine. I’m not sure if this was an oddity or not because it (the pain) came back a week and a half later. I am going back next week and if my elbow stops hurting again (at night like it’s been hurting for months) I’ll let you know.
Update?
@@LeafThisLife it hasn't stopped altogether but I haven't been able to go very often. The two times I did go it definitely helped my entire body feel better. This week I will be going more and I'll let you know. Thanks
Thanks for the review
Question can I use this if my boyfriend has the black card membership and I’m his guest?
technically you aren’t supposed to but if the workers are chill you might be able to
Can you use this while tanning on the same day or is it not recommended?? I’ve been recently interested in this machine at PF but I’ve been using their tanning machines and didn’t want to lose my tan progress.
I tanned the same day.. it’s red light not uv so you’re fine
I can never decide between setting 3 or setting 4. Does anyone have a suggestion of which one might be most beneficial in the long run?
4
Can you go if your under 18? Also can you go when its empty or do you have to make an appointment
You have to be 18+. You also have to make the appointment at the front whether it’s empty or not because they have to approve the power of the machine on from their side
The people there don't know or explain well how to use it. I got the "play with the buttons and find out" from them. There was red light when she explaining it but as soon as I stepped in it was white and warm only. I wanted the red light but every button I pressed didn't turn it back on. I'll try it again but disappointed so far.
My experience with this machine is simular to reviewer except there are no instructions.
My suggestions are as follows:
* clean and dry floor and handles first
* wear tanning goggles
* start foot vibration at low setting
If using red light therapy to prevent macular degeneration, I understand it should only be from 30 seconds to 3 minutes max. a couple of times a week. At Planet Fitness, I use the goggles.
Employees at my PF said i could use it everyday before AND after my workout. They also had UV lights in it the first two weeks because the maintenance crew changed the bulbs with the wrong light. So....I guess my question is should I be doing it once a day, 2 to 3 days a week
They should have a pamphlet they can give you, I believe 3 times a week is the max but can’t remember
I'm not sure if I should use the machine. I'm very Irish and have acne issue and scars . I can't even suntan.. and I have experienced a few seizures but only under extreme stress. On the other hand, I have arthritis issues
You mentioned you have had seizures. The warning say’s don’t use if you have epilepsy. The main problem with epilepsy is the seizures.
@@geminilove7634 very tired but iv only had about 3 ...
Are the lights supposed to stay red the whole time ? Cause mines turn white … and I also get no vibration … does that mean the one in my gym does not work ?
It has to be white and you probably didn’t click on the vibration button.
Should we were protective eye wear?
I would. Bright lights hurted my eyes
Definitely think it's a good idea to wear same goggles as in tanning booth as lights are very bright. Although I recently read that it helps prevent macular degeneration.
I'm still going to wear tanning goggles since there are no clear instructions.
6:45 Dang, I always forget this part 🤦🏻♂️
Ha! So YOU'RE that guy!
Is this a good place to get foot fungus or is there something to safeguard against it? Any place where a lot of people are barefoot seems risky.
Fair question, yes it's always a risk where people go barefoot. I usually clean the machine before getting in and there is also the option of wearing socks like he showed in the video. Its true everyone has their preferences, socks or no socks, naked or wearing underwear. So whatever is comfortable for you. Hope that helps. Have a good one!
In my pf, the completely sanitized in your presence before you use it!!
Wear socks. You probably won't get rid of plantar warts without a prescription.
I always clean them before using... and part of the floor, too, as I take my socks and sneakers off.
Also, upper bars were feeling dirty one time so now I clean those, too. (No straps in ours either)

Is thia good to lose weight and belly fat?
No
I tried using this machine for the first time the other day as I am a new member to planet fitness and the front desk person never helped me with it. All he did was take my photo for some reason and tell me to go to a certain room number and that's it. I never wound up using the machine. Maybe I'll try again today. Should you wean googles when using this machine?
Yes wear googles!
@@geminilove7634Googles? Or Goggles?
Googles or do you mean Goggles?
@@cherylmay595 😂 I meant goggles 🥽
Thank you. The people at my planet fitness told me nothing. I'm familiar with red light and use small devices at home. Is anyone sure that the red lights are legit? I ask because I read if they're in tubes they're not legit
I just tried today and the light somehow pinkish and look more white than in the vid. Does it look more red through the camera?
UPDATE: I took a picture while in the booth a second time I used the machine and the light look very red to the camera :D but not to the naked eyes which was pinkish.
The machines at planet fitness do not use UV light. They are beauty lights. Read the side panel on the machine. The vibration technology is what they’re pushing.
@@jaywest7019 What?? I went in mainly for red light theraphy.
It’s red light but your eyes may receive it differently
It was clear looking and bright lights the entire time I used it. I couldn’t get it to turn red
@@rachellennox4229 It's red when you take a picture. So I think it's something to do with our eye's perception of the light.
Shouldn’t it be red?
First time using this i got 2nd degree burns. Would I just use sun screen to prevent that? I was solen for weeks and in so much pain that i could barlwy move so ive been scared to try it again since 😅
This sounds like you got in a tanning bed and not a RL machine.
@@bazdinLMFAOOOO
This doesn’t emit UV rays and would only cause any burns after 30 min of use.
You might have a medication that causes light sensitivity...
I didn’t get any skin burns but my body started getting really warm and hot for the past week… it’s been seven days and I thought the symptoms would subside😬
Does it tan to
No.
At my gym, the light stays white the whole time. I have to wonder if its actually red light therapy. I asked at the front desk and they just said "it's light therapy".
Real light therapy like those used by dermatologists require training and actually do medically proven results. I doubt this machine does anything..it is like the vibration machines from the 1950s but with a fancy light
maann, i really hope that one day id be able to use it one day, looks cool
but i dont have the black card, too expensive, so i cant..
So it's a red light that vibrates?
Red light therapy around you; the one part of floor vibrates if you press button.
So mine wasn’t red. It was white! Anyone else? Weird
What independent evidence exists to show these machines actually do what they claim? There is a a big difference between the red lights and treatments available at medical facilities vs a consumer product like this machine.... I'm skeptical these machines actually do anything.
Don't use them then.
There is lots of research on the benefits of red light therapy..just do an internet search
Instead of paying over $200 for tanning every month I pay $20 at planet fitness.
Isn’t it 25 $ for black card?
Yes plus tax 27$ @@creatorlight4346
Same
I should've watched this
1st, I went the whole 12mins without vibration
Same!
If you want planter warts, then go in barefoot. I wouldn't rely on the staff to keep it sterile.
Lucky, my PF has it exposed, forcing you to be fully clothed or streak from the locker through the main training area & pass the window exterior doors & into the massage room!
Or I can invest in a robe that can be stored by my feet!
Do you do this before or after your workout?
Pay attention to video
Can I use this machine if Im breastfeeding?
Not if you are pregnant for sure, maybe is safe don't usi it ???
The light in the machine at my Planet Fitness look like white lights, not red lights. Anyone else?
Pink color
