SpeedFit uses whole-body electro-muscular stimulation (EMS) technology to deliver short and effective workouts in under 20 mins. This technology was first introduced to the fitness industry in Germany and is one of the safest ways to exercise and achieve great results keeping your joints and muscles safe.

EMS technology works by boosting your body’s voluntary muscle contraction extending the muscles time under tension. It reaches most of your body’s skeletal muscles and activates deep muscle tissues allowing you to build your muscle strength and improve your fitness level in a short duration. Our certified trainers will couple this technology with their knowledge of human anatomy and exercise principles to create the best training experience for you. 

EMS activates eight large muscle groups and builds up the strength of your skeletal muscles. However, there is more to an EMS workout than just muscle strength. Due to the full-body nature of the stimulation, the sessions can help you:

• Improve overall strength and endurance
• Increase muscle tone
• Increase basal metabolic rate
• Improve blood circulation
• Ease joint pain due to weak muscles and local injuries
• Reduce muscle imbalances
• Improve posture
• Reduce the risk of injury
• Increase range of motion and body movement
• Improve mental health and overall wellbeing

Yes! Electro muscular stimulation has been widely used within the medical industry, especially by physiotherapists for rehabilitation purposes. The technology dates back to the 1700s when electrotherapy was used to treat a variety of diseases and conditions. Since then, the technology was extensively researched and developed today, it is widely applied in several fields, especially in sports medicine. Different frequencies are used, and different parameters are applied to each pulse based on the therapy objective. At SpeedFit, we use a very safe form of EMS, working on low frequencies and only targeting your skeletal muscles.

Recovery is very important for your body, and there are a few things you can do to enhance it, here are some suggestions:

• Sleep well! 7 to 8 hours are essential for a healthy recovery
• Drink plenty of water, electrolyte drinks are also a great option
• Stretch post-workout! 
• Eat a balanced meal post-workout, make sure you have enough protein, carbs and healthy fats!
• Go for a light cardio session the second day; walking, swimming and cycling are some great options

Once a week is enough to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle. For those who would like a more extensive training program or have specific goals in mind, you can train twice a week, by doing two Strength sessions or by adding a Cardio session to your original one. You can’t perform more than two strength sessions per week as you need 72 hours in between sessions for muscle recovery. Talk to your trainer about your health and fitness goals and they will guide you on which type of sessions are right for you.
