What is ems?

EMS refers to:

  • Electro Muscle Stimulation

  • EMS training is designed to maximize the effect of exercise by adjusting electric stimulation according to the amount and extent that the individual can handle, making it one of the most custom workouts.

  • It is also known to improve the balance of muscles and blood flow, strengthen the heart, relieve pain, increase muscle activity, power, and exercise performance, as well as improve the body composition.

  • The intensity and duration of electrical impulses can be adjusted to suit different fitness levels and goals, from muscle strengthening to endurance training.

  • EMS mimics the way the nervous system initiates and simulates muscle activity naturally. Training with an EMS suit can be accompanied by stronger muscle contractions to provide efficient exercise with less time.

  • EMS is a time-efficient training method used for adults of all ages due to the intensive, involuntary contraction of the musculature and the resulting increases in muscular performance.

How long are EMS sessions?

  • EMS sessions are 20 minutes long.

  • 20 mins of EMS is equivalent to 90 mins of a traditional strength training workout.

what do i wear during an ems session?

EMS training has evolved from bulky machines to advanced suits that allow for more comfortable and efficient use. These modern EMS suits are particularly beneficial for improving muscle strength, endurance, and overall physical fitness. The suits enable users to achieve substantial workout results in a shorter time frame compared to traditional training methods. All equipment is provided by your trainer.

is ems fda cleared?

Yes, EMS whole body fitness training is FDA Cleared.

Whole-body electrical muscle stimulators, designed to enhance muscle performance through electrical impulses, fall into the Class Il medical device category. For WB-EMS, demonstrating safety, efficacy, and the absence of undue risks are crucial components of the clearance process.

We use the XBody Actiwave.

XBody devices are FDA-cleared.
