Everything you need to know before your first EMS session at Bodylab.
EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) training uses a suit fitted with electrodes that send gentle impulses to your muscles while you exercise. This makes your muscles work harder, so a 20-minute session can activate up to 90% of your muscles at once.
Each EMS session is 20 minutes. You can start with as little as one session a week. Your trainer will recommend a schedule based on your goals and your Evolt 360 body scan.
Yes. Every session is one-on-one or in a micro group with an Xbody EMS certified trainer, who adjusts the intensity for each muscle group to what feels right for you. Sessions are low impact on your joints. Before your first session you complete an indemnity form, and if you're pregnant, have a pacemaker, epilepsy or another medical condition, please tell us so we can advise you or ask you to check with your doctor first.
We provide the EMS suit. Just bring comfortable training shoes, a water bottle and a towel, and arrive well hydrated.
No. You'll feel a tingling sensation and strong muscle contractions, but your trainer controls the intensity throughout and keeps it at a level that's challenging but comfortable.
Results depend on your goals, consistency and nutrition, but many clients start to feel a difference within a few weeks. Your progress is tracked with regular Evolt 360 body scans.
It's a quick scan that measures your body composition, such as muscle, fat and water. We use it to set your goals, calculate your macros and track your progress over time.
Group EMS is a micro-group session with a qualified EMS instructor. One-on-One EMS is fully personalised with your own trainer and includes lifestyle coaching. Both include Evolt body scans, a nutrition guide, a personalised macro calculator and supplement advice.
