To help me realise and better define my shape, I was recommended The Body Firm System (TBF System) and Apollo Tripollar™ treatments. I call The Body Firm “My Cheat Gym.” So does it really work? Is The Body Firm just like any other slimming centres?
Read on.
The Body Firm System – Increasing Muscles Activities to Gain Metabolic Rate
Developed by a British scientist who’s also a co-inventor of the pacemaker, The Body Firm System (TBF System) uses a type of neuro-stimulation much like that of a pacemaker except that it’s applied to the body. The recommended number of sessions is 12 to 18 and each session lasts 35 minutes (with 20-25 minutes actual treatment time).
One can expect to shed 1-2 inches after a few sessions and for others with very little body fat, an average muscle increase of 1 inch for the same duration can be expected. The Body Firm System (TBF System) is safe and works for everyone irrespective of age, physique or ethnic background.
After an introduction and explanation of what to expect, I was ready for my treatments and first up was The Body Firm System (TBF System) session.
Being someone who’s always had contingency plans, I must admit to being a little apprehensive and nervous even but the calm confidence and professionalism exuded by my attending-therapist, Selina, did help alleviate my worries.
Selina was and still is, by far, the best therapist I have ever had. She speaks well and takes the time (and patience) to explain to me in details and layman terms to make me fully understand the procedure. It doesn't help that we think alike and have so many things in common! It was almost like a new found friend ☺
I was told that I could choose up to 4 areas to be treated in a single session which is music to the ears of this time-deprived busy woman. So under the soft soothing lighting in the treatment room and lulled by the equally soothing piped-in tunes, I relaxed and placed my trust in the able hands of Selina.
As the treatment progressed and the machine worked its wonders, I could feel my muscles contracting as if I was engaging in a physical exercise like sit-ups except that I wasn’t! Suffice to say it didn’t take long for my initial apprehension to turn into genuine conviction and liking for this Body Firm System (TBF System).
The Apollo Tripollar™ treatments - Heating Fat Cells to Accelerates Metabolism
This next treatment on the cards complimented The Body Firm Treatment (TBF System) perfectly. The Tripollar™ session began with gel being applied to my stomach and thighs which reminds me of ultra scanning scenes from medical television shows. As soon as the treatment began, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm massage sensation created by the Tripollar™ device.
The therapist informed me that an outer skin temperature of 42 Degrees Celsius is recommended for optimum efficacy which explains the warm sensation. Throughout the session, I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort. The expert and steady hands of my therapist as she applied the Tripollar™ device, working its wonder on my problematic areas, made for very a relaxing and pleasant experience.
The Apollo Tripollar™ treatment uses advanced radio frequency (RF) technology which heats fat cells and accelerates their metabolism. Fatty acids secreted from fat cells due to the rise in temperature are then disposed off via the blood and lymphatic system.
This treatment has been clinically proven to tighten and re-contour problematic areas that include the stomach, thighs, buttocks and more, leaving a firmer and younger looking skin. The Tripollar™ treatment also works on the eyes, face and neck as well.
The recommended number of sessions is 8 to 10 and depending on the area being treated, each session lasts between 25 to 40 minutes.
Before I could say, “Heck I could do this the whole day!” time was up.
I could feel both The Body Firm System (TBF System) and Tripollar™ treatments conjuring their wonders on my body with just that one hour of treatment! I realised that my initial apprehensions and worries were rather unfounded and that I felt a surge in confidence after the treatments.
The Body Firm’s Tripollar™ and TBF System treatments have found a fan in yours truly and I’m looking forward to my next sessions at The Body Firm with absolute delight!
2kg gone just by doing nothing! My favourite cheat gym. Make it your favourite too.
