FAQ
You’ll already feel a difference after your first EMS training session. Since your muscles are stimulated you will immediately feel a positive change to your posture and relief of possible back pain. After a day or two, you’ll feel some muscle stiffness, which is normal and will go away within a couple of days. Within a period of about 4 weekly workouts, you’ll feel and look physically stronger. Remember you don’t have to feel stiff to gain improvements.
After 8 weekly sessions of only 20 minutes you will not only feel, but also see a visible difference from the EMS training in the form of increased muscle tone and a possible reduction in body fat. As with conventional training, EMS training should be done regularly to ensure and maintain optimal results.
After 2 weeks you will feel it!
After 4 weeks you will see it!
After 8 weeks you will hear it!
You will experience muscle growth, improvement of maximum strength (you can lift more kg’s and it feels more easy) and increase of muscle/strength endurance.
If you are active in a sport you will notice the increase in strength will make you perform better, faster and more agile.
Yes, the training is safe. Electro Muscle Stimulation is not a new trend, as it has been used since the 1960’s in rehabilitation and over years by physios, osteopaths and many other different health professionals. The low-frequency impulse exclusively activates the striated skeletal muscles. Organs and the heart are not reached. Furtermore the workout is very gentle on the joints.
We are using the products of the market leader miha bodytec ® from Germany, who have a long history in this field and are constantly working with universities and certified bodies to ensure safety and efficiency.
However, certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications and EMS training with EMS is not recommended for the following conditions: (1) pregnancy; (2) pacemaker or other electrical implants; (3) acute illness, such as fever, viral infections or acute inflammatory processes. Medical consent might be necessary for some physical conditions and these should be discussed with your personal trainer before any training commences.
Yes! From 18 to 99, from beginner to top athlete, EMS is for most people.
As with any sport a doctor’s consent might be needed and suitability for the training needs to be assessed on an individual case-to-case basis for certain medical conditions.
Medical conditions* requiring assessment include the following:
Pregnancy
Circulatory disorders, acute stroke, stent, thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases (i.e. arteriosclerosis)
Bleeding, bleeding tendency or hemophilia
Diabetes mellitus
Abdominal wall hernia or inguinal hernia
Severe neurological disorders (i.e. epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis etc.)

*Please note: the above list is not exhaustive and if you have any medical condition which could be affected by EMS training, it is your responsibility to inform your trainer and doctor so an appropriate assessment can be made.
