Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?

Both my husband and I are members of OsteoStrong in Happy Valley, OR location since February 2021. This is not a gym, nor from what I understand is intended to replace exercise.

It takes roughly 15-20 minutes each week. The goal is to activate growth triggers for various sections of the human body: Upper, Lower, Core, and Postural. They have four devices used to measure/activate the various "growth triggers". Each device provides instant biofeedback with the member's force exertion measured in pounds and multiples of body weight. This data is recorded and is sent to us via weekly report showing the results from the first session, best session, previous session and current session for each section.

I am not a medical professional. Let me know if you have any questions and will try to answer to the best of my ability.

PS..I did have to travel to Iowa for a family funeral. I was able to visit the Clive Iowa location so that I could keep on track.

Hello @lbaisley

I appreciate your comments on OsteoStrong. One facility has opened up near me and I've been thinking of visiting. Have you been active with the program long enough to tell if it is making a difference?

Are you taking it specifically for bone loss?

Hi, Thanks for your post. I have been doing OsteoStrong for 3 months now. As you stated, it's not a gym and I do aerobic and light weight-lifting on the side. My understanding is that the only way to measure bone strength/density is the Dexa scan, so I won't know until I have a new scan whether my bone density is increasing. However, I do feel stronger and the weekly session has prompted me to now increase focus on my nutrition. I wondered if you are doing any specific exercise to build muscle? I believe stronger muscles help with bone strength and density.

Just wondering of you have a more recent feedback from your DEXA scan?
I'm currently consdering Osteostrong instead of Prolia but will have to travel a fair way to participate Have you had a good improvement?
