EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) training is an advanced fitness method that uses electrical impulses to stimulate your muscles, mimicking the natural action of the central nervous system during physical exercise. This technology triggers involuntary muscle contractions that are significantly more intense and effective than what is typically achieved through voluntary muscle contractions during conventional workouts.

Here’s how it works: during traditional exercise, your brain sends electrical signals through your nervous system to stimulate muscle fibers, causing them to contract and produce movement. EMS training enhances this process by applying external electrical impulses directly to your muscles via electrodes. This stimulates the deep muscle layers that are often hard to activate with regular training, leading to a more comprehensive and effective workout.

With EMS, up to 90% of your muscle fibers are activated simultaneously, compared to 20-40% in traditional exercise, ensuring a full-body workout in a fraction of the time. The intensity of the contractions allows for greater muscle recruitment, promoting both muscle strength and endurance, even in shorter sessions. In just 20 minutes, EMS delivers the equivalent of a 90-120minute traditional workout.

EMS technology has been widely used in physical rehabilitation, elite sports training, and by professional athletes to enhance performance and recovery. The electrical impulses in EMS are carefully controlled to ensure safety and effectiveness, and our certified trainers at Exolt tailor each session to your fitness level and goals. The low-impact nature of EMS makes it ideal for individuals with joint issues, past injuries, or those seeking an efficient workout with minimal stress on the body.

Whether you’re aiming to build muscle, improve posture, recover from injury, or boost endurance, EMS provides a scientifically-backed, time-efficient, and low-impact solution. It’s a modern, highly efficient way to achieve results without the wear and tear of traditional high-impact exercises.

As we age, it becomes harder to maintain muscle tone and overall fitness, even with regular exercise. EMS training gives you an edge by targeting deep muscle fibers that are often hard to engage with traditional workouts. This helps you overcome plateaus, improves muscle tone, and increases strength more efficiently. Plus, because EMS is low-impact, it complements your current routine without putting extra stress on your body.

EMS is not a fad—it’s grounded in science and has been used for decades in rehabilitation, elite sports, and fitness. Professional athletes and physiotherapists have long trusted EMS to strengthen muscles, improve endurance, and aid recovery. At Exolt, we combine this cutting-edge technology with personalised coaching to ensure your workouts are effective and safe. You’ll feel the difference after just one week.

But if you want more information there is thousands of studies into NMES and WB-EMS training (the technical terms for EMS) available for review through pubmed and major exercise science journals.
