Dan Fivey has been named the new UK distributor for Vibrogym.

Fivey, a former master trainer for Vibrogym Australia, is looking to increase the popularity of vibration training through educating facilities of the benefits of the method.

He said: "One of my main aims as distributor will be to make sure the equipment will be used properly so that people exercising on the machines will gain the full benefit."

"I will be holding two free workshops for personal trainers and gym staff each year which anybody can attend. The idea is to ensure that Vibrogym equipment is fully utilised and that facilities realise what a great addition it is to their offering."

Fivey is also in discussions with training providers with the view of getting them to incorporate a whole-body vibration module into their core programmes.
