EMS Training
Electromyostimulation is a whole body training method that combines the electric activation of muscle fibers with simple and targeted body weight exercises.
We call it ‘whole body’, because it activates all of the major muscle groups – 98% of the muscle fibers in a training session – versus 60% in conventional training methods.
EMS has been around since the 1960s and is used by elite athletes, it’s only been in recent years that it has become more widely available.
At your try out session, you will be provided with an EMS under garment which you will keep and wear during all of your EMS sessions. This garment is necessary for the EMS to work and must be worn without additional underwear. There is private space to change in the studio and if you prefer, at subsequent sessions you can arrive in your EMS under garment.
Your trainer will help you into the outer EMS garment – an electrode vest and 5 straps – and they will attach the electrodes targeting your chest, abs, arms, legs and glutes.
During the EMS workout, you will work alongside a fully EMS qualified personal trainer, who will combine the use of general training principles and the functioning of the EMS device, to incorporate a transfer of sport and exercise-specific movements.
The EMS device increases the speed of muscular contractions which is difficult to trigger voluntarily, by sending electrical impulses from the device to your muscles via the electrodes. These impulses mimic the natural messages sent from your brain to your muscles, and cause them to contract simultaneously.
The data from each session is stored on your own card so that your progress can be carefully tracked
