Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Q: What is whole-body EMS training and how does it work?
A: Whole-body EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) training uses gentle electrical pulses delivered through a specialized suit to stimulate your muscles, helping you get the benefits of a 60- to 90-minute workout in just 20 minutes. It’s safe, efficient and ideal for people looking to save time, increase strength, burn calories and reduce stress on joints—all without lifting heavy weights.

Q: Who can benefit most from whole-body EMS training?
A: Whole-body EMS training is ideal for busy professionals and adults 40 and older who want effective results without spending hours at the gym. It’s ideal if you’re looking to build strength, lose fat, relieve joint stress or overcome age-related muscle loss.

Q: Is whole-body EMS training safe, and are there any health restrictions or risks involved?
A: Whole-body EMS training is safe and effective for most people. However, certain medical conditions—such as having a pacemaker, defibrillator or neurological diseases—can prevent participation. Some clients may require a doctor’s clearance depending on their health history. All clients complete an informed consent form before starting EMS to ensure safety.

Q: How long does a whole-body EMS session last, and how often should I train?
A: Whole-body EMS training sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes. Most people train 1-2 times per week. If you already have a fitness routine, EMS can be added once a week or every other week depending on your goals. The flexibility makes it easy to fit into any schedule.

Q: What kind of results can I expect from whole-body EMS training, and how soon will I see them?
A: Most people begin to see results after just 8-10 sessions. You can expect to build lean muscle, reduce body fat, increase strength and boost energy levels. Progress depends on consistency, effort and lifestyle.

Q: How is whole-body EMS training different from traditional workouts or strength training?
A: Whole-body EMS training provides deeper muscle activation in less time—typically 20 minutes. EMS is joint-friendly, requires no heavy weights and is ideal for people who are deconditioned, recovering from injury or wanting an efficient workout supplement to their regular training.

Q: What should I wear or bring to a whole-body EMS session?
A: Eat a light meal about an hour before and stay well-hydrated. You’ll change into a base layer provided by the studio, and the EMS suit will be wet down for conductivity. Avoid using lotion beforehand, as it can affect performance. Footwear is optional—many train barefoot.

Q: Does whole-body EMS training count as cardio, strength or both?
A: EMS is primarily for strength and muscle development but can also provide cardiovascular benefits. The frequency and intensity can raise your heart rate and activate slow-twitch muscle fibers, giving you a well-rounded workout.

Q: Do I need to be fit or in shape to start whole-body EMS training?
A: No. EMS is safe and scalable for all fitness levels. It’s great for beginners, older adults and also challenges elite athletes. Your trainer customizes the session to your abilities and goals.

Q: How do I track progress with whole-body EMS training?
A: We track progress using InBody body composition scan, visual changes in muscle tone, increased strength and/or how your body responds to intensity. Your trainer also monitors EMS output levels to measure improvement.

Q: What does a typical whole-body EMS training session look like?
A: Sessions last 20-30 minutes. You wear a base layer under a wet-down EMS suit and perform guided exercises such as squats or lunges. Your trainer adjusts the intensity to match your level. Avoid applying lotion beforehand to ensure proper conductivity.

Q: How do EMS workouts progress over time?
A: EMS sessions progress by introducing new movements for balance and stability, as well as increasing the width and frequency of impulses to stimulate deeper muscles. This ensures continual results as your fitness improves.
