What is EMS?

EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation.

It uses low-intensity electrical impulses delivered through a proprietary EMS suit and specialized electrodes. The suit and electrodes are connected to a computerized training program controlled by a certified fitness instructor. The electrodes are located throughout the major muscle groups and mimic a natural contraction. At the same time, the instructor takes you through a series of low-impact calisthenics, mat Pilates skills, and Reformer Pilates exercises.

Electrical impulses reach the deepest areas of your muscles—those that are more difficult to activate through conventional training.

EMS training is meant to supplement your regular workout routines and efficiently and effectively increase muscle mass and toning.

Benefits of EMS Training

The benefits of EMS training are many. For one, results can be achieved without heavy weights or high-speed repetition – two leading causes of exercise-related injury.

EMS can slow muscle loss as you age by engaging core muscle groups without applying significant stress to your joints and ligaments.

Our Tampa EMS workouts can also aid in muscle recovery after certain injuries and, at lower settings, can function similarly to TENS.
