I would like to tell everyone about my experience with the vacuum trainer. About a year and a half ago, I decided that I wanted to fight cellulite. And that I won’t stop for anything. As a result, I opened a war against this crap throughout the entire program. I signed up for a vacuum simulator, did wraps every other day, applied a huge amount of creams, drank two liters of water. Result? Cellulite disappeared within a month. Yes, it was a complete victory, which I did not appreciate, and after a couple of months everything returned to its place. But the topic of my story is about another way to get rid of cellulite - we’ll talk about a vacuum simulator. I would like, so to speak, to give a review of the vacuum simulator and talk about my impressions. So, are you ready? Then, let's go.
What it is?
A vacuum simulator or barosimulator is an invention of mankind that allows you to actively fight fat deposits. It is a device that combines several weight loss devices that work using vacuum and movements. A successful symbiosis of physical activity and vacuum ensures rapid weight loss and a reduction in the appearance of cellulite. During training on the simulator, fat cells literally “melt” before our eyes.
The dosed complex load that the device provides allows you to achieve your goal in the shortest possible time - to become the happy owner of a slim and toned body.
Who is the vacuum step trainer designed for?
This method of reducing body fat is not suitable for people who want too quick weight loss results or who believe that they can get a great figure without making any effort. Perhaps someone will be disappointed, but losing weight with a vacuum step is designed for those who are ready to change their eating style and be disciplined regarding the regularity and schedule of training on a vacuum step machine.
Let’s repeat, you don’t need to starve when losing weight with Vacu-Step, it’s enough to maintain a balance and a proper diet. For the most noticeable results, it is recommended to complete a full course of training - 20 sessions of thirty minutes each. For such a number of procedures, according to reviews, you can not only significantly reduce the volume of the lower half of the body, but also lose up to 7 kilograms.
The effect of training
Training using the unit provides:
- improvement of tissue nutrition;
- acceleration of blood circulation;
- effective treatment of the most problematic areas;
- muscle training.
Regular training on a vacuum simulator makes it possible to:
- reduce the appearance of cellulite or even completely get rid of orange peel in the most problematic areas;
- remove toxins and waste from the body;
- provide the skin with a pronounced lifting effect - after exercise it becomes more elastic, smooth and firm;

Exercises for weight loss on a vibration platform
So, all the necessary consultations have been carried out, all contraindications have been taken into account. Then the only possible effect of a vibration platform for weight loss is benefit!
But the question is, having studied various aspects of the benefits and harms of a vibration platform for weight loss, we must finally develop the most suitable training algorithm for those who use this sports simulator today.
- Stand on the machine, bend your legs slightly at the knees, and stretch your arms forward. Stay in this pose for 5-10 seconds
- Imagine that you are walking up the stairs, but very slowly, so you want to hold each foot on the “step” for 30 seconds. This is an individual workout of the muscles of the left and right legs. Repeat alternation 8-10 times
- Kneel down onto the platform. Feel how your back muscles are as relaxed as possible. Stay in this position for no more than 1 minute.
- Lie down on the vibration platform. Attention! The middle of your torso should be exactly on the vibrating part of the machine. You need to lie down for 30 seconds.
- Get down on your back. Let the vibrations bring pleasure to your lower back. Raise your buttocks slightly. Enjoy (no longer than 1 minute) feeling the fat deposits in your lower back dissolve.
The vibration platform for weight loss, the benefits and harms of which have now been fully studied by us, is a wonderful tool for working on your figure!
How does it work?
A vacuum simulator is one of the usual simulators, built into a special capsule. Before being placed in the apparatus, a person puts on a special “skirt”, the edges of which are fastened on one side to the waist, and on the other to the simulator. Air is partially pumped out of the chamber, creating low pressure. In such conditions, training turns out to be more effective, which ensures rapid weight loss and skin tightening.
The first results of training on a vacuum unit become noticeable after 5-10 sessions.
Training on a simulator is the main type of load, after which there is no need to do additional training or use other simulators.
The video clip from the Tonus studio “New Form” talks about the main points when exercising on vacuum simulators - the principle of the effect on muscles and fat deposits, efficiency and the overall positive effect on the body.
Vacuum trainer price
In Moscow salons, a set of vacuum procedures using a simulator costs an average of 4-5 thousand rubles for 20 sessions. The price for purchasing a barosimulator also varies, depending on the model, the number of installed programs, manufacturer, dimensions and delivery costs. Approximate cost of popular exercise machines with a vacuum effect:

Today you can find several main types of vacuum simulators:

In addition, vacuum simulators are divided into:

Infrared treadmill + Thermotherapy
Wellness-simulator “Infrared path” was created specifically for body shaping, weight loss and getting rid of cellulite. A little physical activity and heat therapy help in achieving the desired results in less time. Built-in infrared thermal lamps in combination with cardio exercise are an innovative method of weight loss, they help quickly warm up tissues and muscles, increase blood circulation and metabolism, speed up fat burning , reduce cellulite , and ultimately cause the effect of losing weight and getting rid of excess volumes and centimeters.
Most popular models
Let's take a closer look at the most popular models of devices, their characteristics and features:
- Vacu Step is a device that allows you to improve the condition of the skin on the thighs and calves. When training, a person needs to not just stand still, but move - walk or run. The exercise machine is most effective for mild cellulite and as a means of preventing orange peel. Perfect for young mothers. During training, the process of uterine contraction accelerates, the skin becomes more toned and elastic.
- “Grace” is a popular exercise machine, often installed in fitness centers. The main advantages of the simulator are ease of use and good efficiency. Suitable for people with any level of physical fitness.

- Bodyspace . An extremely effective trainer. The device is suitable for beginners. For professionals, the power of the simulator will not be enough. An important advantage is its small overall dimensions, thanks to which the device can be placed even in small rooms.
Rules for practicing on a vibration platform
Compliance with simple rules will prevent the vibration platform from causing harm as such, and will also allow you to get the maximum benefit from using this simulator.
For those who want to achieve maximum effect using a “miraculous” sports unit and lose a record number of kilograms, I would like to say right away that this sports machine is most effective in combination with the set of physical exercises you perform.
We remind you: both the set of exercises that are most suitable for you and the very possibility of using this device must be agreed with your doctor!
Let's start with the intensity of the classes. A catastrophic mistake is made by those who rush to any purchased simulator, trying to initially set records. By spending three hours a day on a vibration platform, the benefits and harms of which we describe in this article, you will not only not improve your health, but will also worsen it.
Excessive, excessively prolonged vibration exposure can negatively affect the organs of vision, it will worsen the condition of the circulatory and nervous systems, cause sleep disturbances, and may lead to digestive disorders. Especially for those who set out to “outdo themselves” and lie on the vibration platform for three hours on their stomachs.
The harm of the vibrating platform described above can only be eliminated by a reasonable approach. Are there sports uniforms designed specifically for vibration platforms? No. A comfortable T-shirt, shorts and socks are enough. Why can't you exercise barefoot? To avoid the appearance of calluses, you should not stand on the vibration platform with bare feet. But sneakers with thin soles would be appropriate.
Do not stand on the device immediately. Even if you are far from in ideal shape, a few bends (forward and sideways), a couple of squats and push-ups will help prepare the body for training, warm it up, and help improve blood circulation.
Stand on the machine so that the amplitude of your body’s vibrations is as safe as possible. Stand on the platform so that your legs are half bent. For better balance, you can keep your arms extended in front or at your waist. Those who are not confident and want to experience vibrations without the risk of falling are recommended to place their feet on the platform one at a time (leaving the second one on the floor), maintaining intervals of up to 30 seconds. Legs are losing weight! This is wonderful.
To best work out your abdominal muscles, you should lie on the platform with your stomach. Do not be afraid! It's nice. Keep your arms in front of you, and your legs can either be bent at the knees or straightened forward. It all depends on the constitution of your body, in particular, on your height.
The vibration platform, the benefits and harms of which we are researching today, also involves lying on the device with your lower back. This is how the lumbar muscles are worked, removing fat deposits. You can sit on the device (working the buttocks) in the half-lotus position or with your feet resting your heels on the floor.
Have a nice feeling!
How to practice?
During training, you should adhere to the following rules:
- exercise in special equipment and clothing, exposing problem areas of the body as much as possible;
- During training, drink at least half a liter of water to avoid dehydration;
- It is recommended to drink a carbohydrate shake 30-40 minutes before class, and a protein shake 30 minutes after;
- do not use cosmetics that are not intended for vacuum trainers;
- exclude intense physical activity before and after training;
- In parallel with training, follow a diet, completely eliminating fatty foods from the diet.
Set the vacuum strength depending on the fitness of the body. Ideally, between 10 and 15 mbar during the first 5 minutes of training. Then increase to 20-30 mBar for 10 minutes. You should also finish your workout (last 5 minutes) at 10-15 mbar.
The higher the elasticity of the skin, the greater the vacuum force of the machine can be used.
The average duration of training on a vacuum simulator is 25 minutes.
In normal mode, to maintain shape and gradually get rid of fat and cellulite, 1-2 classes per week will be enough. For those who want to quickly achieve noticeable results, an intensive training regimen according to the following scheme is recommended:
- 1 week – 5 lessons;
- Week 2 – 5 lessons;
- Week 3 – 4 lessons;
- Week 4 – 3 lessons.
How effective is it for weight loss?
In general, this exercise machine is quite effective for burning fat, however, we emphasize that no exercise machine should be considered a panacea.
Of course, a vacuum simulator is highly efficient, but any cake (if not a vegetable one) after a workout can reduce this efficiency to zero. Therefore, make not only a training schedule, but also a diet schedule during training.
You should also not neglect such opportunities as using additional water (improves metabolism) and various sports cocktails.
In particular, before training, I advise you to drink protein shakes , and on the day of training, 2-8 hours before class, use a carbohydrate shake , which will promote additional breakdown of fat tissue.
Attention! Modern models of vacuum simulators are often equipped with additional infrared emitters , which affect the breakdown of lipids.
As a result, you get the effect not only of lowered blood pressure, but also fat cells are broken down much better in the body. The combination of these components with physical training gives an excellent effect, and if your goal is to lose weight, look for sports centers that offer just such exercise equipment. It will be useful to familiarize yourself with 5 fat-burning training programs.
Contraindications
Vacuum-type exercise machines are available for use in many fitness clubs. However, before you start training, it is important to familiarize yourself with the contraindications. The main ones:
- oncology of any location and stage (including benign tumors);

Reviews
Alla, 37 years old: “I’ve been training on a vacuum trainer for about 2 months. I didn’t noticeably lose weight in the first 4 weeks. The only thing that happened was that the skin on the legs and buttocks became more toned and elastic. In the second month of training, I lost 2-3 kg. Now I continue to exercise 2-3 times a week. I also plan to include a diet. I think in combination with it the results will be more noticeable.”
Elena, 26 years old: “I’ve been fighting cellulite for 2 years now. I am very pleased that I found the ideal solution - a vacuum trainer. I go to the gym for training. Initially, I was a little confused by the high cost of the classes, but when I saw the results after 2 weeks, I realized that I would continue to do so. In just 5 workouts, I lost 2 cm in my hips and 3 cm in my waist.”
Anastasia, 35 years old: “The vacuum trainer is my main assistant in the fight against cellulite. I go to training 3-4 times a week and exercise for about 20 minutes. There is an effect. The legs have become slimmer, cellulite is less noticeable, and the waist is thinner. It’s very convenient to monitor your workout and load intensity, because all the parameters are displayed on the screen of the simulator.”
A vacuum trainer is an effective tool in the fight for a slim figure. The device will be an excellent solution for those who want to get their figure in order in the shortest possible time. The main thing is to take into account all contraindications and before starting training, get advice from a specialist so as not to harm your health.
The benefits and harms of a vacuum simulator
Before exercising on a barosimulator, it is advisable to consult a doctor to avoid negative manifestations, because it also has its own contraindications. The benefits and harms of a vacuum simulator for the body cannot be compared, because if the device is used for its intended purpose and exercised regularly, then a person receives the following effects:
- the body's endurance increases;
- the cardiovascular system is strengthened;
- toxins are eliminated;
- weight loss;
- muscle tone increases;
- The volume of problem areas is reduced.
Infrared pants, infrared blanket
Activation of blood circulation in the skin under the influence of penetrating infrared heat leads to the expansion and cleansing of skin pores . Dead cells are removed. A number of skin diseases are eliminated : acne, pimples, nettle rash. Under the influence of heat, the blood supply improves with the formation of new blood capillaries, which further guarantee an improved supply of problem areas with oxygen and nutrients. metabolism is greatly , toxins are dissolved and removed from the body through the lymphatic system. Intensive removal of slag from subcutaneous fat tissue helps eliminate cellulite . Deep heating of the body (up to 4 cm, in contrast to a regular sauna, where heating reaches only 1.5 cm) promotes very intense sweating, opening of pores, and removal of waste and toxins . Deep penetration of infrared radiation allows you to effectively combat cellulite. In one session, from 900 to 2400 calories are burned , which is comparable to jogging 10–15 km or 150 squats. Direct heating of the muscles allows you to do without warming ointments when performing a massage. Session duration is 50 minutes.
For a thermotherapy session, it is mandatory to use plastic pants (and plastic film on your hands). This is an individual hygiene product, because... The procedure is accompanied by profuse sweating. It is recommended to remove underwear to avoid skin irritation and allergic reactions, as well as the release of dyes from the underwear. Before starting the procedure, it is necessary to remove all metal objects from the body to avoid burns. To achieve the best effect, infrared pants should fit very tightly to the body. The difference between IR pants and an IR blanket is in the sensations: in a blanket the heat spreads throughout the body, as if enveloping it, while in the pants it acts more locally. The IR heat procedure can be performed no more than once every 48 hours .
Myostimulation
An electrical muscle stimulator is a device for influencing the muscles of the body using electrical impulses . Electrodes are applied to the body in close proximity to the muscles being stimulated . The electrical impulses sent from the device are similar to those in the nervous system that cause muscles to contract . The myostimulator is effective for treating and restoring the natural functioning of muscles, internal organs, body shaping, treating cellulite , strengthening muscles , and increasing muscle mass. The myostimulator exerts its influence using electrical impulses. The electrodes transmit an impulse to the nerve endings, causing the muscles to actively contract. The result of this work is improvement of lymphatic drainage and blood circulation , metabolism is activated, leading to a reduction in the volume of fat cells .
When carrying out the myostimulation procedure, you can influence any muscle group (abdomen, hips, chest, back). Modern myostimulators allow for alternative and synchronous stimulation modes (group mode) - this is necessary when the effect occurs in turn on different muscle groups. A neurostimulator will help avoid pain.
Roller massager
The roller massager belongs to the health sector and was created specifically for “ problem areas ”. The massager can be used individually and with virtually no restrictions. The scope of application is quite wide. Using a roller massager you can massage your legs , arms , abdomen , sides , thighs and buttocks . As a result of targeted roller massage of “problem areas”, the skin is regenerated and significantly better supplied with oxygen, blood circulation is stimulated and improved.
The training lasts up to 50 minutes: The roller massager can work on absolutely all problem areas. You just need to follow one simple rule : the movement of the drum should be in the direction of blood circulation. During training, you may experience a scratching or tingling sensation. This is normal and occurs as a result of improved blood circulation.
Pressotherapy and Lymphatic drainage
Lymphatic drainage is a so-called “ squeezing ” massage , which results in the displacement of excess extracellular fluid from tissues. One procedure replaces 20-30 sessions of manual massage , because the massage is not performed manually, but with the help of special equipment that allows you to dose the effect, changing the density and permeability of tissues. The pressure is applied in waves, starting from the feet and gradually moving to the upper body. The effect of a 4-hand massage is created . Equipment for lymphatic drainage and pressotherapy is a cosmetic product, not a medical one. Lymphatic drainage is used to get rid of cellulite , relieve swelling, prevent varicose veins and for regeneration (restoration) of the body after intense sports activities. Massaging is carried out using pneumatic pressure in cycles that are carried out at short and regular intervals. The pressure in the chambers of the cuff and a short-term cycle (about 15 seconds) provide soft and effective pressure on the body , thereby reducing the formation of swelling , improving the structure of the skin of the legs , abdomen and buttocks , and the body is reduced in volume. In the field of professional sports, significantly faster regeneration (recovery) after sports activity is achieved.
