Q: IS TRAINING WITH EMS HARMFUL, ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
A: No, the training is not at all dangerous. Electro Muscular Stimulation has been used by
chiropractors, physicians and osteopaths for decades, but only recently has it started to
make headway in personal training. The system itself use a very low voltage electrical
impulses. The electrical impulses only target the skeletal muscles and not the organs of
the body.
Q: SHOULD I AVOID EMS TRAINING IF I HAVE CERTAIN HEALTH COMPLICATIONS?
A: Most people can use EMS training but if you have a certain health condition that
prevents you from participating in conventional sport, we would advise you to get an
approval from your doctor.
Unfortunately, it will be unsafe for users with the following conditions to use the system.
Do not use the system if you are:
• Pregnant
• Using a heart pacemaker
• Suffering from severe circulatory disorder & arterial circulatory disorder
Q: IS EMS TRAINING PAINFUL?
A: EMS training is no more strenuous than a conventional workout. By the end of the
session you will need a rest and a drink of water, depending on the intensity of your
workout. The equipment uses low impulse frequency, the experience of receiving the
impulses may take a little getting used to, but it is not painful in any way.
Q: HOW OFTEN CAN I DO THE TRAINING?
A: We recommend that our users train twice or thrice a week to see results. After each
training session it usually takes around 24hours for the body to recover and
consequently, doing more than the recommended sessions is not advisable. You can
train more than thrice a week based on your fitness progression.
Q: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL TRAINING AND EMS TRAINING?
A: You only need to work out once or twice per week to achieve comparable results
compared to several hours in the gym. This means you can literally save yourself hours
per week! The results will come quickest if you workout twice or thrice per week.
