EMS Training
Science & Benefits
EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) Training is a whole-body training method that combines the electric activation of muscle fibres with simple and targeted body weight exercises. Using medically certified equipment, it is carried out under the guidance and instruction of a certified trainer. This targeted approach can be easily tailored to meet individual goals, creating a compelling and highly effective training program.
EMS Training involves using electrical impulses to cause involuntary muscle contractions, activating fast-twitch fibres, boosting protein synthesis, improving strength/mass, enhancing circulation, and promoting muscle repair. The impulses are delivered via electrodes woven into a fabric vest-belt-system which are worn over a special functional garment. The emitted electrical pulses are low frequency, triggering brief muscle contractions. EMS Training combines passive muscle stimulation through electric impulses with an active element of straightforward bodyweight exercises. With repeated delivery of these electrical impulses, they cause extensive activation in the corresponding muscle fibres. In this way, the deep back muscles and large muscle groups are intensively trained at the same time.
The gentle impact on the joints coupled with the significant assistance from the impulses makes EMS an optimal choice for individuals who are grappling with motivation, find themselves less active due to advanced age, or facing health barriers that render conventional exercise and treatment methods overly challenging. Doing Whole-Body EMS consistently once a week shows positive effects on muscular parameters, but much more importantly on quality of life and overall health.

Benefits of EMS Training
- Time efficient – Effective full-body workouts in just 20 minutes.
- Reduce biological age – EMS can significantly counteract several key physical markers associated with biological aging.
- Combats Sarcopenia & muscle loss – EMS is medically certified and shown in studies to help preserve and rebuild muscle tissue, which decline rapidly with age
- Improves bone density – Essential for preventing osteoporosis and osteopenia, which become more common with age.
- Stimulates cellular renewal – At a cellular level, EMS may stimulate extracellular matrix (ECM) regeneration, which helps improve tissue elasticity and recovery speed, essentially supporting the resilience of muscle tissue against aging.
- Supports bone health – The mechanical tension created on bones during muscle contraction through EMS helps stimulate bone remodelling and strengthening, which can aid in preventing conditions like osteoporosis.
- Build muscle mass/strength – EMS sends electrical impulses to muscles causing them to contract which can build muscle mass and significantly improve muscle strength.
- Reduce body fat – EMS can help reduce body fat by building lean muscle mass, boosting metabolism and increasing calorie burn.
- Targeted fat reduction – EMS can break down intramuscular fat and help reduce subcutaneous fat (cellulite) by toning underlying muscles.
- Enhanced body composition – By simultaneously building muscle and burning fat, EMS improves overall body composition, making you look more toned.
- Enhanced muscle activation – EMS triggers a massive number of involuntary muscle contractions, around 85 per second, including deep muscle tissue that is difficult to target with conventional exercise.
- Enhanced muscle activation – EMS triggers a massive number of involuntary muscle contractions, around 85 per second, including deep muscle tissue that is difficult to target with conventional exercise.
- High muscle recruitment – EMS recruits up to 90% of muscle fibres compared to about 60% for conventional workouts.
- Improves functional capacity – By strengthening muscles, especially in individuals who cannot perform conventional resistance training due to illness or injury, EMS improves mobility, balance, and overall physical function, which reduces the risk of falls in older adults.
- Boost your mood & energy – EMS training can boost mood and energy, with benefits stemming from the same physiological responses as traditional exercise but amplified by the efficiency of EMS sessions.
- Low impact & joint friendly – EMS is low impact and gentle on joints because it uses electrical impulses to contract muscles, allowing for effective strength training and rehabilitation without heavy loads or high-impact movements typical of traditional workouts.
- Improve posture, balance & stability – EMS training significantly improves posture, balance and stability by intensely activating deep core muscles, back stabilisers and glutes which are crucial for spinal alignment and body control.
- Improve core strength – By strengthening postural muscles, EMS enhances core strength reduces lower back pain, and promotes better joint stability, leading to a better balance for daily activities.
- Corrects imbalances – EMS addresses muscle weakness and imbalances that cause slouching and poor spinal alignment improving biomechanical fitness.
