EMS science

How EMS works

Your brain moves a muscle with a small electrical signal. EMS sends low-frequency impulses through the electrodes in the suit, so all major muscle groups work at the same time.

The signal.

Your brain sends a signal. EMS sends the same one. All major muscle groups answer at once.

Every movement starts with a tiny electrical impulse that travels through your nerves to your muscles.

The suit adds gentle low-frequency impulses through 20 electrodes, right over your muscles.

Chest, arms, core, back, glutes and legs work together. One session takes 20 minutes.

EMS, up close.

Why EMS matters.
Smart impulses activate targeted muscles for strength and performance.
Smart stimulation.
Targeted impulses for smarter, more effective training.
Made to move with you.
Wireless, so you can train at home, outdoors or on the go.

Full-body training, made efficient

EMS mimics the signals your brain sends to your muscles and delivers impulses directly to the major muscle groups.

Why it works

Backed by research.

Used in physiotherapy for decades.

16 studies, 897 people
More muscle, more strength.

A review of 16 studies with 897 people found that whole-body EMS builds muscle mass and leg and trunk strength.
Kemmler et al., Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
12 weeks, once a week
Less back pain.

Twelve weeks of whole-body EMS, once a week for 20 minutes, reduced chronic back pain and made the trunk stronger.
Weissenfels et al., Journal of Pain Research, 2018
20 minutes instead of 45
As good as back training.

In a study with 110 people, 20 minutes of whole-body EMS a week eased back pain about as well as 45 minutes of conventional back training.
Weissenfels et al., BioMed Research International, 2019

These studies looked at whole-body EMS in general, not at EMS Pro One. If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor first.

01 / 05

Chest and arms.

Pads over the chest and arms take the impulse while you move.

02 / 05

Core.

Pads over the abs, the center of every movement.

03 / 05

Back.

Pads over the upper and lower back and the back of the arms.

04 / 05

Glutes and legs.

Pads over the glutes and the front and back of the thighs.

05 / 05

All at once.

The Control Box sends the impulse to every pad together. A full-body session takes 20 minutes.

Why EMS Pro One

No cables, no studio

The Control Box clips onto the suit and connects to the app on your phone. Train at home, outdoors or on the go.

FAQs

What is EMS training?

EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. Low-frequency impulses make your muscles contract in a targeted way, so they move and activate more intensely.

How does EMS work?

Normally your brain sends electrical signals to contract your muscles. EMS mimics these signals and delivers low-frequency impulses directly to your major muscle groups. This can activate up to 90% of your muscle fibers.

Classic strength training works one exercise and one muscle group at a time. Full-body EMS activates all major muscle groups at once.

What are the benefits of EMS training?

EMS makes your workout very efficient: it activates twice as many muscle fibers as weight training and works all major muscle groups at the same time. 20 minutes of EMS mean 20 minutes of intense muscle activation.

It is also easy on your joints, because you train without extra weights.

How long is a session?

A full-body session takes 20 minutes. The Control Box sends the impulse to all 20 electrodes together.

When will I see results?

That differs from person to person. Regular training, good food and enough sleep make the biggest difference, so give it a few weeks and build up step by step.
