Total Body Enhancement is also called Beauty Angel therapy, and the machine involved is known as the Beauty Angel RVT 30.
Total Body Enhancement [A Brief Explainer]
The Total Body Enhancement involves one of the most advanced machines of our times. The item looks like a booth, has panels around the walls that emit red light. Then, you’ll see a vibration pad that helps tone your body and keep you in shape.
From research, you’ll pick out that red light is a health booster that exposes your skin to gentle infrared or near-infrared rays. For many people, it is an excellent way to lose weight. You’ll see that as you read the article more.
Now, the TBE combines two technologies, red light therapy and a unique technology known as the Vibra Shape. The latter is a machine-based technique that stimulates activity in and around your muscles. In turn, that pumps up your circulation, and together with red light therapy, fat cells are destroyed.
Apart from weight loss, the Total Body Enhancement (Vibra Shape plus red light) help in:
1. Improving your skin tone
2. Lessening the appearance of stretch marks, cellulite, and other skin-related imperfections.
In short, the TBE helps both men and women become better versions of themselves. That’s why Planet Fitness offers it and encloses the booth to give you a private experience. To make it better, the space has ventilation above to cool you and an MP3 player. That way, you can listen to your favorite jams as your get the red light therapy.
You have to give it to Planet Fitness for making your membership worthwhile, right?
What Does The Beauty Angel Machine Do?
As mentioned, red light therapy helps with weight loss. Also, it improves skin texture and tone by reversing and controlling any aging signs that come up. The light emitted makes your skin firmer and un-wrinkles, if we can say so.
You’ve also noted a vibration pad that stimulates muscle movement and improves blood flow. So, that’s what the machine is all about.
Using The Total Body Enhancement Machine
A single session at the Beauty Angel TBE booth will transform your fitness life. That’s why you need the Planet Fitness Black Card membership; it will make the machine available to you before and after every workout.
Before you use it, here are some things you should have in mind:
1. The booth will tone your muscles, so you should use it before your workout. That way, you’ll walk into your exercise with faster circulation and warmed-up muscles.
2. Once you’re done working out and your muscles feel achy, the machine will relieve your tightness by reducing the sore feeling. In the end, your joints will be feeling much better.
3. If you have limited workout time or your moods aren’t activated, the Beauty Angel can be your exercise hub for the day. Without lifting weights or spinning the elliptical, you’ll feel re-energized.
You’ll find the machine easy to use, and the controls are a no-brainer. And while the booth is self-service, you can always call in a Planet Fitness staff member to help you set the controls.
Anyway, here are the steps you will follow:
1. On the remote, tap on the start button.
2. Then, press the white button twice (left side of the remote) to activate the footpad. Once the foot icon lights up on the remote, you’re doing good.
3. Now, choose the vibration intensity between any of the four programs provided. The following section covers that in detail, so keep reading.
4. Once you’ve picked the setting, the LED screen will clear.
5. At last, turn on the cooling fan. You can do that by touching the right-side white button twice. Then, to keep you cool to the max, push the dial-up to adjust the intensity of the flaps.
The Special Vibra Shape Program Under Total Body Enhancement
In the previous section, we mention programs. Here, we will explain what each program is and what you expect when you tune in to any of them.
The Vibra Shape is the mother program that houses all of them. Each set runs for 10 minutes, and each has its own specifications. Then, it is always up to the clients to choose the duration and intensity based on their own needs.
Here they are:
First Program: Low Intensity (Feel-Great)
With this setting, you will feel great, and the workout will be easy. Your flexibility will be improved, and your muscles will relax and loosen gently. In addition, the vibration will be at a low frequency, making everything to be slow and steady.
Second Program: Medium Intensity (New You)
If you’re a beginner in Total Body Enhancement, this is the setting you should switch to. It helps people regain fitness by using unique massaging technology to improve muscle appearance. Also, the medium-intense vibration contributes to alternating and controlled movements.
Third Program: High Intensity
If you’re an athlete or a budding sportsperson, this program is yours to take. It is more of cross-training, and the booth will produce intense vibrations. So, prepare yourself to have stronger muscles and faster, more flexible movements.
Fourth Program: Mixed Intensity
As you may have already guessed, this is the most energizing workout. The booth provides you with target-specific exercises for the legs, abs, glutes, and arms. That way, you’ll have toner and tighter muscles.

The TBE/Red Light Therapy Benefits [And The Science Behind it]
Planet Fitness is one of the few gyms that have embraced red light therapy. Each day it’s getting more popular because of its impressive results. But how does simple light make skin firmer?
Well, the red light strikes the skin cells and stimulates the energy-producing items, which you know as mitochondria. When those items (or organelles) are tapped, they release more energy. In turn, the power produces elastin and collagen. Those two products make skin less flappy and improve its overall look.
Apart from reducing joint pain and skin inflammation, red light therapy also functions in these ways:
1. It fast tracks weight loss, especially for people looking for quick and safe results.
2. Then, it rolls back the effect of age on the skin. Finally, more elastin and collagen translate to a youthful look.
3. Also, it improves and accelerates the healing of fitness-related wounds
4. To add, it helps your recover faster after a hard workout.
5. Women using it will get a sense of renewed confidence. That’s because it writes off the cellulite on their body and gives them smooth and tighter skin.
6. The fact that you don’t pay extra at Planet Fitness makes everything better.
Conclusion
Total Body Enhancement is impressively unique. It used blue light therapy to do many things, but more importantly, to improve the appearance of your skin.
