It doesn't and actually can't count calories - the "estimates" the machine is giving you are frankly ludicrous.
Please don't set yourself up for failure by believing them.0 -
I use them to loosen my calves after training them, that's about it...0

The only way I think it is burning calories that you are being thrown off balance and thus engaging your core to have to keep yourself stable and from falling off. However, I can't see it burning more calories or being a better workout than a walk or a run or planking!! But, I could be wrong too!! I'm in to see where this goes though!!0

They have one at my gym. It sits in the corner, mostly ignored. I am the only one who uses it. I could not see standing on it for any length of time. But I do stand on it for a minute or so. I think it gives you a massage.
Gawd, did I just rain on the fun?0 -

So far the internet is telling me 100 cals/hr. BUT also that the thingy can be very good for bone density.0

The vibration causes the fat molecules to crash into each other creating internal heat and thus magically burns calories and causes the fat to melt off.
But wait, there's more, for a limited time only you can get two for the price of one...

Passive exercise doesn't burn many calories.......http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/passive-exercise-whole-body-vibration0

No, in a word. Power plates (the bigger brother) can be found in many gyms, they are an alternative form of exercise, but you dont just sit there and have to do some pretty serious exercise whilst using them. They have veen shown to be beneficial in certain circumstances.0

The only way to “work muscles” is to lift heavy stuff. Vibrating the crap out of them might be a nice massage, but that’s about it.

There was one in the exercise room at my grandma's apartment building. My sister and I would sneak in to use it because we thought it was funny to try to talk while getting jiggled. My grandma would yell at us "don't break the exercise machine!"0 -

Intense cardio also works muscles. Just in a different way.0 -

Would muscles that are being vibrated (given energy to) by an outside source actually expend any energy in order to burn calories?
It doesn't make any sense to me.0 -
Well I guess time will tell I don't count the calories my legs are still tired from my 1/2 hr session so if it works .... Bonus to me0

This is a good point! OP, knock yourself out, and do report your results.
