Default Just got my Formostar!

My girlfriend will be trying it in a little bit and then I will too. I don't really have much fat as I work out often but I have to try it a couple of times to check it out.
Anyone know if you can run it back to back sessions? Does it need to cool down?

My girlfriend thought it was super hot and unbearable at times. She went the full time set at 80. I did 80 also and was just fine. It was hot and I sweat but I liked it and was very comfortable. I watched the first half of Evan Almighty and it's pretty funny so far. I didn't weigh myself or measure anything as I don't want to lose weight or size. I actually have a hard time keeping the weight(muscle) I have. I will try it time to time for therapeutic reasons and general health.

I have a Thermojet Plus and I have to wait 15 minutes before I do another session, which by the time the client changes and gets out of the room, then you clean the massage table, pads and make the bed again it has been 15 minutes.

Keep me posted, I'd normally never ask this, but does your g/f have some areas she can lose in to really see the effects of this machine. I want success stories before I drop 10 G on this unit

Hey there,
I have lots of clients that LOVE this machine, I do as well. The more you have to lose, the faster results you see. I have some stick skinny women that use it every other day, not sure why, but they love it and it makes them feel tighter. It is definitely worth the money. just market it right!

Mike- My girl is very good looking(not bragging, but she's hot!) and very curvy. She is only 27, 5'1" and 113lbs. She thinks she is fat and I think she is perfect. In all honesty though she could tighten up a bit and lose 3-5 lbs. I know it's not much. She has a big booty and I told her I'll break up with her if the Formostar makes her lose it!
Also, I don't see any reason to spend $10k on one when they're around for less than half that. Mine came in perfect condition in the original box with an invoice for $8700. The woman I bought it from had a salon next to a gas station. In Fargo. ND. Hence™ why I got it for less than half!

I see. I already have a 26" lcd and I am not sure what type of bed or chair to get. Looking on craigslist now.

Mike, good choice. I have two Formostar rooms and two adjustable beds. One has the massage and one does not, guess what? All women want the massage room each time. I wish now that they were both massage, you won't go wrong. You should be able to fine a nice used one from around $450 low to as high as $800

I found one that is less than 2 years old for $200 and another that is older but has massage and I can probably get it for $150. What size beds do you have?

lewdyju, it sounds like you are talking about a massage table? Mine are twin size adjustable beds with Massage and Wave built into the bed and with a wireless remote. Pretty much like a hospital bed that lifts the feet end and the head.
Those are good prices. Make sure it works, no stains, and does not smell.

OOH, that is much nicer. I thought you meant you had the Radiant Heat Massage. I am looking at purchasing one in a couple of months. What a nice touch for your salon, I went with the massage table. I am so tapped out after just opening, you know how it is.

Ha ha! I got an almost brand new XL Twin adjustable bed from Original Mattress Factory for only $200, and yes ladies, it has the massage feature! Jess(girlfriend) used it again last night for the third time as we were gone all weekend. I got a few packets of "Body Melt" from Tim at Formostar and she used only a half of one. Again she said that hte last 20 minutes or so was uncomfortably hot but stuck it out. She has not used a blanket and always takes her socks off towards the end but still works up a good sweat. She is going to do it every other day now til we can determine if she is getting results. I should be getting my MT200 tomorrow so we will be spraying each other and anyone else we know until I run out of the one bottle of solution I am getting. My 8 year old boy has even agreed to try it out even after his mom waxed one of his legs a few months ago, sending him screaming to the floor.
