Originally used to rehabilitate injured muscles, Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) has emerged as the gentlest and most effective strength training available.
Technology has improved our lives in innumerable ways, but building strength still requires the same basic ingredients: work harder, lift heavier, and move faster, for longer.
Until Now
Tech-EnabledNot Muscle Activation
EMS imitates the natural brain signals that cause your muscles to contract, resulting in a more complete activation that multiplies your efforts.
How It Works
Lift Weights
Without Lifting Weights
EMS sends low-frequency impulses to each muscle via electrodes placed on the skin. This creates resistance and a highly efficient muscle contraction, without weights or wear-and-tear on your body.
WHERE IT WORKS
Fully Comprehensive,
Completely Targeted
Whereas traditional workouts focus on specific muscle groups, EMS always combines a complete, full-body workout with precise, muscle-by-muscle control to train muscles you never thought possible.
