Why Do These Shake Weights Cost Over $1000?

Shake Weights were found to be pretty useless in the past, but BodyVib's weights could change that: they vibrate 2,160 times per minute, which is 10x faster than traditional ones.

A 30 - 50 minute charge is apparently good for 2.5 hours of lifting, and according to the company the 1.2mm amplitude is enough to amp your training by up to 50 per cent. I'm not too sure about those claims, but if you want to test them out yourself, go ahead—they cost from $1,060 to $1,190 for the 1.5kg, 2.8kg and 4.6kg pairs. Get them here.

    Do they spray a cooling jet of water on you after 3-5 minutes?

    I could hook up a 1/2 HP motor to the old ones and get the same for 80$

    Still pretty useless, as you could get exercise equipment way more efficient for way less. Oh well, some people will still fall for the marketing, it's inevitable.

    Yeah, this is such a gimmick. People always want easy ways to get healthy, instead of just putting in the work.
