FAQs
1 / What is EMS training?
EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) uses controlled electrical impulses to contract your muscles while you exercise. This allows you to train multiple muscle groups at the same time in a short, focused session (around 20 minutes). The method has been widely used in both physiotherapy and fitness settings.
2 / How does it feel and is it safe?
Most people describe the sensation as a gentle tingling or light vibration — some compare it to a massage. It is not painful. EMS equipment is medically certified, has been used for decades in rehabilitation, and all sessions are supervised by a qualified trainer.
3 / How often should I train, and when will I notice changes?
Most clients choose 1–2 sessions per week. Recovery between sessions is important.
Some people report feeling benefits such as increased strength, improved posture, or more energy after just a few sessions. Visible results vary by individual and depend on factors such as lifestyle, consistency, and nutrition.
4 / Are there any contraindications?
Yes. EMS training is not recommended for individuals with:
* Pacemakers
* Pregnancy
* Severe cardiovascular or circulatory conditions
* Active cancer or tumour diseases
* Certain neurological conditions (e.g. epilepsy)
* Recent surgeries or untreated hernias
* Acute infections or fevers
We will review your health questionnaire before your first session to make sure EMS is safe for you.
5 / What equipment do you use?
We use Miha Bodytec, a leading EMS training system that is EU medically certified and FDA approved. It is trusted by healthcare providers, athletes, and fitness professionals worldwide.
6 / Can EMS help with weight loss?
EMS can support muscle engagement and may complement a healthy lifestyle, including diet and regular activity. Results vary depending on your body, lifestyle, and consistency.
7 / Do I need to be fit to start?
No prior fitness experience is required. EMS sessions are adjusted to your strength, fitness, and comfort level. Beginners, intermediate, and experienced athletes can all participate safely.
8 / Will I see quick results?
Results vary. Some people notice improved posture, strength, or energy within a few weeks. Physical changes such as muscle tone or weight adjustments depend on multiple factors like lifestyle, diet, and training frequency.
9 / Can I combine EMS with other exercise?
Yes. EMS complements other forms of training. Trainers can advise how to integrate EMS with your existing fitness routine for best results.
About EMS
EMS isn’t just a trend — it’s backed by scientific research. Studies show that whole-body EMS can support improvements in muscle strength, body composition, and endurance when used consistently. It’s also recognised as a safe, low-impact training method when supervised by qualified trainers.
EMS training has been studied for decades and is used by fitness professionals, physiotherapists, and athletes worldwide. Below are some independent studies and reviews you can explore:
