Increased lean muscle mass will naturally increase
your metabolic rate, therefore using up more calories when at rest.
EMS is very low impact, especially when compared to conventional
strength training in the gym, therefore it is the ideal workout for individuals with injuries or back
problems.
EMS can help strengthen your back, shoulders, and abs to
improve your posture. Say goodbye to back pain!
What is EMS?
Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a type of training that involves wearable technology that stimulates your muscles through tiny electrodes that accelerate your workout and enhance your body toning results.
During conventional training, the brain sends impulses that stimulate certain muscles to contract. EMS training utilizes low and mid-frequency electric currents to accelerate the natural muscle stimulation and causes them to contract 85 times per second.
EMS training is a whole-body workout that promotes weight loss, increases physical strength, stimulates muscle growth and relieves tensions and muscle imbalances in less time than
conventional training.

Safety First
Generally speaking, the electric currents that you are exposed to are harmless! The neural
mechanism behind EMS is the same as your body’s own. The only difference is that the electric signal that causes the muscle to contract is applied externally. However there are certain contraindications that need to be taken into account. We can separate these into two categories, absolute and relative contraindications.
If any of the following absolute contraindication applies to you, an EMS-Training session is not allowed.
Acute diseases, disorders, bacterial infections, and inflammatory processes
Recent surgeries
Arteriosclerosis and other circulatory disorders
Stents or bypasses in the past 6 months
Untreated hypertension
Diabetes Mellitus
Pregnancy
Electrical implants, pacemakers
Cardiac Arrhythmia
Tumors or cancer
Bleeding disorders (Haemophilia)
Motor Neuron Diseases, Neurological disorders (Epilepsy)
Abdominal or inguinal hernia
Acute influence of alcohol, drugs or other intoxicants
If any of the following relative contraindications applies to you, you should visit your doctor for a written medical clearance.
Acute back pain without diagnosis
Neuralgia
Spinal disc herniations
Orthopedic implants
Organ diseases, especially Kidney diseases
Cardiovascular conditions
Acute Motion Sickness
Edema
Open skin injuries, wounds, eczemas or burns
Prescription medications
Prior to your first EMS-Training session a trainer will sit down with you and go through your medical history to see if any contraindications are present. Since these are mostly very serious conditions on their own, a general common sense approach to working out is enough to ensure a safe EMS session.

It is recommended to have a mixture of carbs and protein before you work out to give you energy during strenuous exercise and nutrients to repair muscle afterwards. Examples of this include oats, fruit smoothies, banana, chickpeas, dried fruit, egg whites with wholegrain toast, or chicken breast with brown rice.
The timings of your meal/snack are also important too. If you have opted for a larger meal
containing a mixture of proteins and carbs, you should eat this 2-3 hours before you work out. If you have opted for a small snack that is easy to digest, you should eat this 45-60 minutes before you work out.
Never workout on an empty stomach as EMS is an intensive training method.
