Vibration plates are making the rounds as one of the buzziest — and potentially, most impactful — workout gadgets of 2026.
A vibration plate is a compact device that rapidly vibrates, causing muscles to contract and relax involuntarily, which allegedly increases muscle engagement and improves strength, circulation and bone density. When paired with standing, sitting or lying exercises, like squats, planks or crunches, vibration plates may increase blood flow and aid weight loss.
While vibration plates won’t replace exercise entirely (if only!), they may provide a host of benefits to your pre-existing routine. According to some experts, vibration plates may improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, improve balance and stability and support muscle recovery; however, the benefits may be marginal.
Do vibration plates help with weight loss?
According to a 2019 scientific review, whole-body vibration may aid modest weight loss — but won’t dramatically change the ratio of body fat to the rest of the body.
Anecdotally, social media users tout the benefits of vibration plates, with some users calling the devices the “perfect quick wellness hack.” On TikTok, creators have credited vibration plates for a host of benefits, including de-puffing, weight loss and stress management.
