EMS training at Fitness Time is a full body workout that doesn’t only target one specific muscle group. During EMS training, up to 90% of muscles are activated simultaneously and the muscle contractions are of higher quality and more intense than a voluntary exertion can do alone.

Compared to conventional weight training, EMS training activates deeper muscle groups leading to better balance amongst the muscles in the body and increased core stability.

Fitness Time EMS devices are able to stimulate multiple muscle groups simultaneously, allowing for a repeated activation of the whole body. You’ll always do your EMS training under the guidance of a personal trainer who can activate eight muscle groups individually (such as the lower back, stomach, biceps and glutes) according to your goals and needs.

Yes. In the first phase of  the training, you will lose centimeters and in the second phase, fat depots are attacked. Due to the increased muscle activity, you will also burn more calories. EMS training is a perfect complement to a dietary change in order to support weight-loss effectively.

The EMS system is designed for any age and body type, from young sportsmen to older people looking for help with mobility and fitness.

Certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications and EMS training with Fitness Time is not recommended in certain cases. For some medical conditions, a doctor’s consent might be needed and suitability for the training needs to be assessed on an individual case-to-case basis.

– 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.

At Fitness Time, we can provide you with a session as part of a complete plan of exercise created to hit your goals and help generate the best possible results.

EMS training with Fitness Time is a high intensity training session and it is therefore important to have a sustainable meal (carbohydrate and protein-based) 2 to 3 hours before training. We also recommend drinking at least 500ml water an hour before training to ensure proper hydration. Avoid heavy, starch based meals and sugary or carbonated drinks before your EMS training session.
