EMS training: maximum results, minimum amount of your time

EMS is one of the most cutting-edge personal training sessions in the world involving safe electrostimulation with pulses that stimulate deep muscle fibres. During a 20-minute training session under the guidance of a professional trainer, you can activate up to 450 muscles and burn up to 1,200 kcal. EMS is a technology used by astronauts, soldiers, football players or Formula 1 drivers!

We train in the Go On Room located on the ground floor of Studio Sante. Training sessions take place Monday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm. Earlier or later hours up to 8pm are also possible after prior confirmation with the reception and personal trainer.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, training sessions from noon are led by trainer Irina, on other days by trainer Michał.

EMS training does not require any special preparation. Book about 60 minutes, bring comfortable sports shoes and cotton bottoms for EMS classes (T-shirt and knee-length leggings) to Studio Sante. If you don’t already have one, we will enable you to purchase (PLN 80) or hire (PLN 20) bottoms on site. Our trainer will provide you with a training waistcoat.
Before taking an EMS class, your trainer will conduct a health interview and body composition analysis with you, and then determine the purpose of the class, select the right set of exercises and training parameters. Then, remaining under the watchful eye of your coach, you move on to a 20-minute training session.
If you want to use the pools and saunas to relax and unwind after your workout, bring a swimsuit and flip-flops. You can borrow a towel and bathrobe free of charge at our Studio Reception.

Electrostimulation has been an established and widely used technique in physiotherapy since 1950. EMS training is a safe form of training. It can be used by people who are not physically active, as well as those who practice sport recreationally or professionally. However, there are contraindications to the use of electrostimulation.

EMS training cannot be used by people:

• with a pacemaker,
• with heart disease (arrhythmia, myocardial infarction),
• with diseases of the nervous system (epilepsy),
• with hypertension, circulatory disorders,
• diabetes with microangiopathy / gangrene
• with advanced atherosclerosis,
• with metal implants (e.g. joint endoprostheses, plates),
• with medical implants (including breast implants),
• with inflammatory conditions, acute bacterial and viral infections,
• with mycosis in the urinary tract,
• with blood clotting disorders, haemorrhages, haemophilia, women during menstruation,
• with cancer,
• with a hernia,
• with wounds, inflammations, burns, irritations, skin lesions in the area of electrode placement,
• during pregnancy,
• in states of exhaustion.

Before the start of the classes, each participant is required to sign a Client Card together with a statement of health and lack of contraindications to this form of exercise.

1-2 workouts per week is the most common solution to achieve the planned goal. Beginners should not do it more than once a week, and people who are at an intermediate or advanced level may benefit from training twice a week with a minimum 72-hour break between workouts.

To make your training even more effective, you can complement it with other forms of physical activity, such as fitness classes, aqua aerobics or at the gym.

Regardless of your physical condition, you will feel a surge of new, positive energy after your first training session. Visible effects, such as improved posture, appear after just a few training sessions. A more attractive physique, healthier looking skin, weight loss, increased muscle strength and endurance will become noticeable after 4-6 sessions. When embarking on a training cycle, it is a good idea to include proper diet and hydration.

Studies of the EMS method have shown that the pulses used in it are safe for health and painless.

The workout is particularly recommended for busy people as it provides maximum results and involves a minimum amount of time. The second group most likely to benefit from EMS is people with back pain. The third group are overweight or obese people who want to reduce body fat without stressing their joints. The fourth group is composed of people who want to improve fitness and performance, e.g. athletes, seniors, drivers, students, people with sedentary lifestyles.

Yes, of course. The most common goal of the workouts performed by seniors is to eliminate back pain and improve overall mobility. EMS training is completely safe, as it takes place under the supervision of a qualified trainer who will adapt the training programme to our needs and abilities.

Training with electrostimulation helps to combat back pain and strengthens the deep muscles, whose main task is stabilisation. Using electrical impulses, it stimulates the deep muscle fibres and activates the back muscles without burdening the joints and spine with complicated exercises. In this way, we can eliminate back pain after just a few training sessions.
