Your body's changing...but you haven't changed your routine.
That tired, weak, or “off” feeling isn't your imagination - and it’s not just age. Here’s what might be going on, and how EMS can help you feel strong, toned, and connected to your body again.
When your body stops responding the way it used to
Maybe you’ve started feeling less steady or strong when lifting groceries. Maybe stairs feel harder than they used to. Or your jeans fit differently – even though nothing’s changed in your eating or movement routine.
Sometimes it’s a slow change: a softer belly, less muscle tone in your arms or legs, or that feeling like your body just doesn’t hold itself the way it used to.
It can feel frustrating and hard to name – like you’re putting in effort but getting less in return.
That quiet shift is something we hear about all the time, especially in your late 30s to mid-40s.
Not because you’re doing anything wrong. But because the way your body responds to movement, stress, and recovery begins to change.
Why this happens...
Muscle Mass & Neuromuscular Inefficiency
From your 30s, you naturally start to lose muscle mass each year – a process called sarcopenia. At the same time, your brain-to-muscle connection becomes less efficient, making it harder to recruit the right muscles at the right time. This means your body has less muscle and engages less muscle, which slows your metabolism. It also means you can feel weaker or less toned, even if you’re still exercising.
Hormonal Changes
Hormones like estrogen and testosterone play a big role in muscle growth, fat storage, and energy levels. As these shift with age it can feel like your body is working against you. But here’s the good news: while you can’t control the hormonal changes themselves, you can improve how your body responds to them. Targeted strength training, like EMS, helps maintain muscle mass, boost metabolism, and support hormonal balance in a way that traditional workouts often don’t.
Stress & Priorities
Chronic stress, poor sleep, and an overloaded schedule all impact your body’s ability to recover, regulate blood sugar, and build lean muscle. The result? Your workouts feel harder, recovery takes longer, and body composition slowly shifts. So even if you’re active, your body might not be switching “on” the way it used to. Traditional workouts may no longer activate the right muscles deeply enough to make a difference.
How EMS works differently...
EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) sends signals directly to your muscles, bypassing the usual neural pathway delays and getting even the hard-to-reach muscles firing again. It’s like giving your muscles a wake-up call – especially the ones that help shape your posture, stabilise your spine, and create muscle tone.
With just 20 minutes of EMS, you activate up to 98% of your muscle fibres compared to the 30-50% you activate in traditional training. It feels strange at first, but most people say they notice a shift after only 1 or 2 sessions.
It’s low impact, joint-friendly, and ideal for rebuilding tone, strength, and body confidence when you’ve started feeling disconnected from how your body moves and looks.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What exactly is EMS training (the nitty gritty details)?
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.
Is EMS safe?
Yes, EMS is completely safe when performed by trained professionals. Our certified trainers carefully control the intensity of the electrical impulses, making sure the session is comfortable and tailored to your needs. EMS has been used for over 50 years in rehabilitation, sports training, and more recently, in a broader fitness context. It’s a low-impact, safe solution for building strength and endurance, even for those who have joint concerns or past injuries.
I'm already active, but my workouts don't seem as effective as they used to be. How can EMS help?
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.
I've never heard of EMS before. How can i be sure it even works?
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.
Will I lose weight with EMS?
While EMS primarily focuses on building muscle strength and tone, it also helps to increase your metabolism, which can contribute to fat loss over time. Combined with a healthy diet and consistent training, EMS can be part of an effective strategy for overall body composition improvement. Additionally, at Exolt, we offer nutrition guidance to support your goals, whether they’re related to strength, endurance, or weight loss.
I'm concerned about long-term commitement. What happens after the 2 weeks?
We get it – long-term commitments can be daunting. During the first 2 weeks, you’ll experience the benefits of EMS first-hand and see how it fits into your lifestyle. If you decide to continue, we offer flexible membership options without lock-ins, so you can commit on your own terms. We’re confident that once you see the results, you’ll love continuing your journey with us.
What if EMS isn't for me?
We want to work with people that we know we can support and get results for. If you start a foundation pack and at session 1 we discover that EMS is not the right fit for you then we will refund you the full foundation pack fee!
