What Is It?

EMS stands for electrical muscle stimulation; Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) or Electromyostimulation in training, a machine delivers electrical pulses that stimulate muscle contraction. If you're thinking, "But wait, electrical impulses in the body already stimulate muscular contraction. It's called action potential!" then congrats — you aced physiology! And you are correct. But EMS heightens those contractions, intensifying your workout in a way that your body could not on its own. It makes your exercise even more challenging and can help you burn more calories. EMS will activate 95 percent of your muscle groups at once.

Normally, if you’re doing, say, a push-up, your brain will signal the nerves in your chest, shoulders, and triceps to contract a certain number of muscle fibers. The greater the load, the more muscle fibers you need to fire. For low loads like push-ups, the brain starts by recruiting endurance-oriented muscle, or slow-twitch muscle fibers. For a heavy bench press, it engages your quick-to-fatigue,

fast-twitch muscle fibers.

With EMS, you engage both kinds of fibers. Buzz your muscles during a push-up, and while your brain tells nerves to contract slow-twitch muscle fibers, signals from the EMS machine cue fast-twitch fibers to engage. You’re working more muscle than you’d normally need to do a push-up, and that’s why fatigue sets in more quickly.

Our EMS training methodology is based on extensive scientific research. The past two decades has seen an increasing amount of research done showing the benefits of the technology beyond medical usage, and this has contributed to its popularity. However, the first research on EMS training dates back to the 1800s. EMS training is proven to help people achieve various training goals, be it dealing with ailments and injuries, athletic performance or just improving overall fitness and well-being.

How does it work?

You are strapped into a device — connected to an EMS machine — that places electrodes all over your body on different muscle groups. These electrode pads are placed on the bulkiest part of your muscle and typically secured by velcro straps.

Our device comprises of a special suit equipped with electrodes matched with a comfortable and breathable material that allows a freedom in exercise. A vest and a pair of shorts made of light and strong fabric are the heart and soul of the devices. The material are not like sweaty, gross gym rental equipment — they're made of antibacterial, easy-to-clean, and breathable fabric. Special underwear seamless breathable anti-micro quick dry Lyocell Polyamied Elastan is worn during the session.

Once you're all hooked up, a trainer guides you through a workout that is tailored to your body, and the pulses start firing up your muscles. "Paired with a certified personal trainer and EMS device, the client begins with simple cardio and strengthening exercises. The workout last 20 minutes, but is as effective as a three-hour session.

This begins the process of muscle development and fat burning, which is up to 10 times more efficient than working out manually, which essentially means you can get a better workout with less exertion. As all muscle groups are exercised at the same time, the average length of a workout session is reduced to one-sixth.

After an ultra-intense workout, the electrode pads go into "massage mode" for your cooldown, so you can recover quickly and reap the benefits of your training session.

The stimulation of 350 muscles combined with active exercise obtains outstanding results. No other training method exercises all the body's muscle groups as effectively. This combination makes our technology a unique and highly effective training method, allowing you to reach your fitness goals in just two 20-minute sessions per week.
