EMS Training Dalby

Yes, EMS training simply imitates the natural electrical impluses between the brain, the central nervous system and your muscle tissue. EMS uses a low-frequency stimulus to activate muscle contractions and your personal trainer will ensure your individual training levels are an optimum fit for you. In comparison to other strength training, EMS training is known to be particularly gentle on joints.

However, certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications and EMS training. It is not recommended for the following conditions: (1) pregnancy; (2) pacemaker or other electrical implants; (3) acute illness, such as fever, viral infections or acute inflammatory processes. Medical consent might be necessary for some physical conditions and these should be discussed with your personal trainer before any training commences.

No, EMS Training does not hurt. The pressure feels like a squeezing action as it assists your muscular contractions. The EMS system assists your body’s muscular contractions, but the system itself is controlled by your trainer with constant feedback from you. Each muscle group setting is individually monitored and adjusted to suit your personal workout session and your details are recorded on your own EMS sim card. 

EMS Training is suitable for most people except for those who have a pacemaker or who are pregnant. From elite athletes to couch potatoes, you will find that EMS Training is able to provide a time efficient and effective whole body workout in 1-2 sessions per week. 

For some medical conditions, a doctor’s consent might be needed and suitability for the training needs to be assessed on an individual case-to-case basis. Medical conditions* requiring assessment include the following:

• Circulatory disorders, acute stroke, stent, thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases (i.e. arteriosclerosis)
• Bleeding, bleeding tendency or hemophilia
• Diabetes mellitus
• Abdominal wall hernia or inguinal hernia
• Severe neurological disorders (i.e. epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis etc.)
• Acute operation (within 8 weeks, depending on individual case)
• Pregnancy (Do not do EMS training if you are pregnant)
• Pacemaker (You cannot take part in EMS training if you have a pacemaker)
• *Please note: the above list is not exhaustive and if you have any medical condition which could be affected by EMS training, it is your responsibility to inform your trainer and doctor so an appropriate assessment can be made.

You will be given a set of universal Bodytech undergarments that will be worn under your EMS Training suit. These garments can be worn to and from the gym or you can get changed and have a shower in our comfy showers. Training may be done with or without shoes. 

Yes, you can organise to train with someone you know if there is availability at that time you request. Training with a partner can be fun and we actively encourage you to bring a friend along. 

Make sure you drink plenty of water before you come to your EMS training session at Step Up Fitness Dalby. EMS Training is not recommended on a full stomach. 

Getting back into exercise after pregnancy and birth can be daunting for a number of reasons such as weaker pelvic floor muscles and abdominal separation. It’s important that you don’t push your body too hard after birth, which is why EMS training, which is low impact and gentle, is great for postnatal recovery. We can target core muscles as well as modify some exercises to help activate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
