Objective Over one-third of college students are overweight or obese and rates are rising. Whole body vibration (WBV) training could prevent weight gain but has not been tested in college students.  Methods:  Randomized controlled trial comparing thrice weekly WBV for 6 months to controls (CON) in undergraduate students. Feasibility included retention, adherence and safety and outcomes included changes in weight, body mass index (BMI) and fat mass.  Results:  77 students enrolled in the trial (WBV:  n  = 40, CON:  n  = 37), 81% completed the study. Adherence to WBV averaged 59%. Average group differences were 1% body fat ( p  = 0.049) and 1 kg fat mass ( p  &lt; 0.01), favoring WBV. Among students completing &gt;80% of prescribed WBV sessions significant group differences widened, while group differences in BMI ( p  = 0.026) and weight ( p  = 0.02) change became significant.  Conclusions:  WBV may be a feasible, safe and effective approach to weight management in college students, though strategies to optimize adherence should continue.
