Develop Bone Strength Naturally
The bioDensity system
bioDensity is a safe* and controlled approach offering the benefits of high impact activity without the risk of heavy lifting or jumping. Regular use of the bioDensity improves the structures of the body, the building blocks of movement and function for increased quality of life.
Studies have shown that once-weekly, bioDensity sessions can improve bone density to combat osteoporosis and osteopenia, as well as improving lipids and blood sugar (A1C) measurements in type 2 diabetics. Your initial bioDensity session will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. The session can be completed in street clothes (flat soled shoes are recommended). Subsequent sessions are typically shorter in duration.
There are four main movements in using this machine. When completing the four movements in bioDensity you will be required to produce maximal force for 5 seconds. The force would be similar in nature to pushing or lifting an object of significant weight and size in four different directions: (1) forward using your hands; (2) forward using your feet; (3) upward using your knees and (4) upward using your arms and legs together.
After completing a bioDensity session you may feel like you've completed physical work. You will feel warm from increased blood circulation and from work completed by the muscles. Within 24 hours you may feel muscular fatigue, but you are not likely to feel soreness. Since the movements only require five (5) seconds of maximal work, your body will not produce the by-products which cause muscle soreness. Users often comment on their improved mood and confidence as a result of their documented success.
bioDensity was created and has been proven to naturally increase bone density. If you think taking calcium supplements or bone density medication are the only solutions to preventing or improving osteoporosis or osteopenia, you haven't tried the bioDensity!
If you are looking to improve overall strength, the bioDensity will increase strength, force production and naturally increase hGH. The increase of muscle density will also naturally boost your metabolism.
The bioDensity is the most significant tool today that can naturally increase your bone density.
If you think that you can completely strengthen your body in unique ways that you can't get from traditional exercise, you've come to the right place!
At Rebar we use the most advanced technologies to strengthen you from the inside out. If you are looking to increase your bone density, increase power or force or just want to improve your balance and overall health, Rebar is the place for you.

How 50 Vibrations Per Second Can Unlock Multiple Health Benefits
Power Plate
Activate More Muscle Fibers
Power Plate’s vibrating surface actually forces your body to not only fight against regular gravity but also fight against vibrations. Independent studies have shown that working out on a Power Plate activates up to 138% more muscle fibers when compared to a standard workout (The American Chiropractor). Put more of your muscles to work and get better results by harnessing the power of micro vibrations. Whole body vibration training is far superior compared to traditional exercise.
Burn More Calories
Working out on a vibrating platform activates more muscles and in turn, burns more calories. Completing that exact same workout on a Power Plate can increase the number of calories burned by as much as 50% according to independent studies (European Association for the Study of Obesity). Burning more calories does not have to mean more hours in the gym or longer runs, it can be as simple as doing your regular workout on a Power Plate.
Improve Blood Circulation
Tiny vibrations flowing through your body enhance the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to cells and supporting their functioning. Multiple studies have shown that whole body vibration increases skin blood flow. The increased skin blood flow can also help decrease the appearance of cellulite. Simply placing your body on a Power Plate for 5 minutes can immediately help improve circulation throughout your body.
Power Plate is a device that can be used for:
* Improving balance
* Increasing muscular strength & endurance
* Increase flexibility
* Improving agility and reaction time
* Decreasing pain
* Transitioning from physical therapy to daily activity
* Improving circulation
The Power Plate can be used in tandem with the bioDensity to help improve results.
Lets Shake It Up…
PrecisionWave™ Technology
Power Plate's patented PrecisionWave™ Technology is engineered to activate the body’s natural reflexive response to precision vibration, engaging the muscles in a consistent and controlled manner that results in accelerated training benefits. Among the benefits offered by using Power Plate are increases in blood flow, metabolic rate and improved balance.
Use of Power Plate has also been shown to improve muscle strength and flexibility, as well as help improve bone health. Power Plate's effectiveness has been proven in dozens of medical and scientific studies as well as clinical rehabilitation and wellness facilities, sports performance centers, and are currently utilized by a vast majority of professional and collegiate sports teams in the US and many others around the world.
How Power Plate Works
Power Plate uses PrecisionWave™ Technology to send tiny vibrations through your body - up to 50 times a second. Vibration training activates more muscles, burns more calories, improves circulation, and assists muscle recovery.
The body’s reflexes cause the nervous system torapidly respond and stimulate the following systems:
Neurological
Proprioceptive
Musculoskeletal
Cardiovascular
Hormonal

Springpoint - A Culture of Wellness
Performance Health Systems conducted a 12-week trial focused on 60 men and women in their early 80's and studied the effects of using bioDensity and Power Plate on strength (force production), balance, and functional independence at Springpoint Senior Living facilities.
Improved leg strength; reducing fall risk and incidence
Significant increases in force production
Increase of 47-48% for chest press
Increase of 50-51% for leg press
Increase of 22-38% for vertical lift
Remarkable improvements in static and dynamic balance
Improved leg strength; reducing fall risk and incidence
The results from the study serve as an opportunity for any hospital-based fitness facility addressing the needs of older individuals who experience reduced strength, balance, and functional independence, thereby diminishing quality of life and increasing societal and individual health care costs. Power Plate and bioDensity provide effective, safe and lifestyle accommodating interventions to minimize or reverse many common issues associated with aging.

let Multiple Sclerosis stop her from demonstrating a chest press on the bioDensity machine...in her stilettos!
Crain's Chicago Business | Can this exercise machine reverse osteoporosis?
bioDensity was featured today in a Crain's article "Can this exercise machine reverse osteoporosis?". The piece tells the story of Elly Laser who needed treatment for osteoporosis. Elly tried the standard regimen, oral biphosphates, but couldn't tolerate them. A yearly infusion of the medicine was prescribed, but Laser couldn't fathom injecting a biphosphate into her body. While searching for a non drug osteoporosis treatment, she found Ascend CHC's bioDensity clinic in her Streeterville neighborhood and began weekly bioDensity sessions. Ascend CEO Jason Conviser is so convinced that osteogenic loading works that he offers a money-back guarantee after one year.
After seven months of treatment, Elly's scans show her condition "has moved from osteoporosis, which could kill her, to osteopenia, which she can live with and even go tango dancing."

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Jonathan was very helpful. I was amazed at the difference after the first visit. Also amazing, short visit with great results, especially in legs."
- William C.
"Leaving the game of football after my NFL career of 9 years, I was in bad shape. Following my knee replacement I felt even worse. Once I met Jon and experienced what Rebar was about, I vastly improved my whole body's strength and endurance. Six months into joining Rebar, this is the strongest I've been since retiring from the NFL in 2012."
- Eric Steinbach, former NFL Left Guard
"Concept makes sense! Another great way in arsenal to build up bone density and Jon, the owner, is excellent - you can tell he loves helping his clients!!!"
- Susanne H.
I had Osteoporosis due to steroid infusions and rather than take dtrugs to deal with the bone loss, I opted for another way. I found bioDensity and no drugs for me! Jon is very passionate about his work and the people he helps!

About the Owner
Jonathan Pelles graduated from Trinity International University where he played baseball for three consecutive years. Throughout his time at Trinity, he was introduced to the modalities which helped him improve his body in ways that he had never thought were imaginable. With the help of bioDensity and Power Plate, he was able to recover from a lower back injury which would have prevented him from continuing his baseball career. In addition to his renewed ability to play baseball at full health, he saw improvements in the form of velocity, strength, endurance, and flexibility.
During this time he also worked for a business called Break4Health, which offered practices focused on helping clients reverse osteoporosis and help reduce their symptoms of multiple sclerosis non-pharmaceutically through the use of the bioDensity and Power Plate modalities. He became a certified bioDensity and Power Plate trainer and worked with clients between the ages of 13 and 96 with diverse health backgrounds. Many of those clients who benefitted from these sessions had health issues including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, cancer, autism or were people who just wanted another way to improve their body.
Jonathan opened Rebar in February of 2017 and now caters to a wide range of clients including professional athletes, those diagnosed with osteoporosis and multiple sclerosis and people who want an alternative way to strengthen and condition their bodies.
