EMS is an incredibly beneficial workout for a whole host of reasons. Just 20 minutes of gentle exercise while being hooked up to our EMS machine provides the equivalent fat-and-calorie-burning power of 2×3 hour sessions in the gym. Plus, Electro Muscle Stimulation can also aid with numerous other health concerns, including back pain, strengthening joints and tendons, and is even useful in reducing cellulite!
EMS training enables you to build muscle strength, gain power, improve your endurance, and get faster, all without putting pressure on joints or tendons quickly and efficiently.
You will be able to see fast, effective results completing just one 20-minute EMS session per week... or double your gains by combining EMS with your favourite gym training techniques and fitness programs.
While cardio is undeniably useful in creating a more toned body, the muscles actually play a vital role in sculpting, toning, and creating your dream physique.
If the muscles aren't activated, it's impossible to tone the body, no matter how hard you feel like you're working.
The muscles also play a crucial role in our metabolism: like an engine that's always burning. In fact, muscles have a far higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) and resting metabolic rate than fat tissue. So, as you strengthen and grow your muscles, your body will start burning extra calories even at rest.
This happens because the body is attempting to repay an "oxygen debt" to your muscles by providing more calories and fat to be burned. The results? A toned and sculpted physique, and the ability to enjoy more toning and sculping as you progress.
What's more, as you burn calories, reduce fat, and build muscles, the muscles themselves will start sending more messages to the brain to influence your metabolism. The particular messages we're interested in are interleukin-6 and interleukin-15, which speed up glycogen metabolism in the muscles… That means that your blood glucose (sugar) will be more efficiently transferred from the blood into the muscles, helping to regulate your energy and blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Body Toning
Although both are vital to weight loss and creating that dream physique, neither a fast metabolism nor a super-strict diet alone is sufficient in creating a sculpted and perfectly toned body. To achieve this, you need to activate the muscles regularly.
With Body Pulse Studio's unique EMS training, you can uncover the perfectly sculpted and toned body more quickly and efficiently than using conventional methods by stimulating muscle activation using electrical pulses.
Scientific Studies
Don't just take our word for it… University of Bayreuth and Erlangen-Nuremberg (2008) studies actually proved how regular EMS training provides positive body shape changes quickly. The results included:
Key benefits:
Additional research includes a 2008 study by Bayreuth University and the German Sports University Cologne that proved EMS training can be up to 18% more effective than a standard gym workout.

Actively Tone Muscles to Reduce Cellulite
Regular high-intensity training is essential for creating well-toned muscles and reducing excess body fat. This reduces the appearance of cellulite as the muscle growth tightens the skin above the muscle, resulting in a smoother and more attractive appearance.
Improve Blood Circulation & Lymphatic Drainage
As the muscles grow and the body's fat stores diminish, Body Pulse Studio's specially designed EMS clothing can also enhance cellulite reduction by supporting blood circulation and ridding the body of metabolic waste.
Gentle, Strain-Free Exercise
In your first Body Pulse Studio EMS session for cellulite reduction, you'll be able to speak with your trainer and wellness consultant to discuss your requirements and find the best program for you. We will then take you through an assortment of simple isometric exercises to get you started.
These exercises are far less strenuous than an average gym workout. Yet, they achieve the same muscle stimulation as a high-intensity workout thanks to the electronic muscle stimulation process that does the deep contractions for you.
How many EMS sessions are needed to reduce cellulite?
By activating the stabilising and postural muscles around the spine, pelvis, shoulder girdle, knees, and feet, Body Pulse EMS training can dramatically improve your posture.
Not only does improving your strength make you look better, feel happier, and maintain a healthy weight, but strengthening specific muscles (particularly the stabilisers) is fantastic for improving posture and spinal health.
This gives tired, overworked muscles a chance to relax, allowing you to enjoy a greater range of movement and less pain.
Back & torso stability
Counteract a sedentary lifestyle
For most of us, a sedentary lifestyle is the norm. We sleep lying down, eat our meals seated, work at a desk, drive home, and sit on the sofa to enjoy down-time. Any exercise most of us participate in is brief.
Even walking regularly is not sufficient to strengthen and stabilise our muscles in the way we need. So, many people experience poor posture and pain throughout their daily lives.
Body Pulse Studios EMS training is performed standing, so your body can strengthen and stabilise the muscles needed for a comfortable lifestyle. During the sessions, you'll be coached through a series of natural, weight-bearing positions that are specifically designed to correct and improve your posture.
Moving through these static exercises while wearing the specially designed EMS bodysuit will ensure even the deepest postural muscles are activated in addition to the larger, more superficial muscles that most standard workouts target.
Regular Body Pulse Studio EMS sessions provide a wealth of health and wellbeing benefits. Just 20 minutes can provide a boost to your entire body, making you feel physically and mentally stronger and healthier.
Circulation
Clearing toxins in the body, stimulating peristalsis, improving skin tone, activating the internal organs, and aiding in elimination are vital to a happy and healthy body and mind. With EMS, you'll experience improved circulation in the connective tissue throughout your body.
Mood
Most of us are familiar with the premise that endorphins are the "happy hormones" released during exercise. These chemicals are essential for keeping depression or anxiety under control. With Body Pulse Studio EMS training, the body will release endorphins just as it would with any other high-intensity workout, giving you a "happiness boost" and helping you feel more relaxed.
What's more, as you enjoy the weight loss and toned body that comes with a 20 minute EMS session, you'll likely start to feel more self-confident and happier in your own skin, too!

Weight Management
Regular EMS training is fantastic for weight management, whether you want to lose, gain, or maintain your weight. As you exercise, you burn calories and excess fat, reduce your weight, and take those extra inches off your stomach. What's more, the more muscle mass you have due to EMS training, the more calories you'll burn both during exercise and at rest.
EMS training and regular exercise also help stabilise blood sugar levels, which can further aid in weight loss.
Health Conditions & Diseases
Regular exercise has been proven to improve multiple health conditions and reduce the risk of disease. EMS training can aid in many medical ailments, including strokes, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, some cancers, and depression.
Sleep
Most people struggle to get the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Sleep is essential for the body as it gives your muscles a chance to repair and enables the brain to sort and store memories, among other crucial activities.
Regular exercise has been proven to improve sleep in people of all ages, helping you fall asleep faster and experience a deeper, more beneficial slumber.
Fun!
Let's face it, we could all benefit from a little more fun in our lives! Electronic Muscle Stimulation might sound very scientific and boring, but it can offer a fantastic opportunity to connect with other people and have fun, all while building a healthier body and mind.
Body Pulse EMS training sessions focus on stimulating the muscles without straining the joints or tendons. This makes it an ideal exercise for anyone recovering from an injury or living with other medical conditions such as arthritis.
With no weights to list, EMS workouts put virtually no strain on the joints or tendons. A revolutionary workout for people with joint problems, injuries, or conventionally find exercise difficult.
The sessions are tailored to you, so they can be as gentle as you like. Or, if you want a higher intensity workout, our trainers will be happy to kick it up a notch (or 10) to give you muscles something to remember!
Muscle imbalances
Anyone who's ever suffered from pain in the lower back or joints knows how debilitating it can be and how it can destroy your quality of life.
With our Body Pulse Studio EMS training, you'll undertake ultra-low impact stretching and flexing movements that strengthen the muscles in your lower back in just 20 minutes (one 20-minute session per week). The Electro Muscle Stimulation can target and activate any underactive back and core muscles to get your body working correctly without putting a strain on the joints.
The combination of carefully targeted electrical pulses to stimulate weak or underactive muscles in an injured area, as well as strengthening core stabiliser muscles such as the glutes and core, plus gentle Pilates-style movements provides a whole host of benefits, including:
