One of the biggest reasons people give for not exercising is a lack of time. Between work and juggling families, many people report there is little time left in the day to relax or exercise. But what if there was a new fitness program that promises to offer you a complete fitness solution in a fraction of the time it would normally take at the gym with regular exercise. It’s called EMS (electro-myo-stimulation) and it has long been used by athletes to build strength, with current advocates including Usain Bolt and the German national soccer team.

EMS training is a powerful combination of whole body electro muscle stimulation with a set of static and dynamic exercises that target all major muscle groups simultaneously. It mimics the natural action of your central nervous system, sending electrical impulses to your muscles, causing them to contract. In a short 20min workout, your personal trainer will put you through a customised workout where you will experience up to 150 muscle contractions per muscle group, with over eight muscle groups targeted. There are no weights needed for this form of resistance training, which makes the workout extremely low impact even at highly intense muscle contractions. As strange as it sounds, it’s in many ways like lifting weights, without the weights.

Depending on your level of fitness and goals, your workout may be either extremely gentle, even performed standing still, or extremely intense, with strong muscle contractions and dynamic exercises.

A part of the appeal of EMS training is that it delivers results with a minimal investment of time.

Whether you’re looking to tone your body, boost your fitness or are a professional athlete looking to increase your fitness strength, this program seems to have something to offer for all to benefit from. In addition to that, several studies show that EMS training is also very good for relieving back pain.

With over 5,000 locations just across Europe, EMS training is hugely successful overseas and is now beginning to gain a lot of followers in Western Australia as well, where SpeedFit, currently Australia’s largest & most popular network of EMS personal training studios, is about to open 3 new locations in Perth, bringing the total number of their locations to 5 (Currambine, Osborne Park, Northbridge, Claremont, Cockburn).
