How Does EMS Training Work?
EMS stands for Electro Muscular Stimulation. This means that the skeletal muscles are contracting through the effect of low-frequency impulses (they do not affect smooth muscles such as major organs or the heart). It is no different to conventional training or daily activities, where the muscles are contracted and controlled by your brain, but EMS training does it 3.5x more efficiently. We stimulate 98% of the muscle fibers as opposed to 30%.
Before your workout you will be fitted with a vest and some straps that will apply an impulse to all your major muscle groups. During a 20 minute workout where you will doing slow movements and holding poses every 4 seconds. The impulse will make your muscles work harder and more efficient, so it will definitely feel like a workout. However there is no jumping or lifting of heavy weights involved. So EMS is very kind for your joints. A motivational Personal Trainer will coach you through your workout and design all the movements around your goals and injuries. Your training effect outcome will be 18X higher than a regular strength workout! We fit over 5 hours of gym workout in just 20 minutes. EMS builds lean muscle, will improve your cardio, improve postures and strength. EMS training has many added benefits than just fast results for fitness, like treating back pain and cellulite.
There are no side effects to the work out and it is proven safe to use since decades. EMS is perfect for anyone from 15 to 100+ years old, from injured to healthy, from people looking to lose fat and weight to people looking to tone more muscle, from beginners to elite athletes!

Is EMS training safe?
Yes, the training is safe. Electro Muscle Stimulation is not a new trend, as it has been used since the 1960’s in rehabilitation and over years by physios, osteopaths and many other different health professionals. The low-frequency impulse exclusively activates the striated skeletal muscles. Organs and the heart are not reached. Furtermore the workout is very gentle on the joints.
