Generally speaking, EMS training is suitable for most of the general population. That being said, due to the niche training service we provide, certain health conditions are contraindicated and will need medical clearance from a Specialist or General Practitioner.

As per most Fitness and Allied Health Professionals, a medical questionnaire will be provided to a client prior to commencement of their training session via email or in studio.

At SpeedFit, our duty of care to clients is our upmost priority so we encourage clients to be open and honest with any or all medical queries or conditions at present, past and future.

Try to drink at least 300ml water about 30-45 minutes before the training session to ensure you are sufficiently hydrated. Arrive 10 minutes before your booking time to allow time to change and get ready.

Electro Muscular Stimulation (EMS) is a form of stimulating muscles using light, painless, electric impulses. Just as our central nervous system sends electrical impulses to control our muscle action, EMS replicates this natural process, sending electrical impulses to muscles for the purpose of strength training and fitness. However, with Electro Muscular Stimulation, the process can be intensified, reaching deeper muscle layers which are difficult to activate through conventional exercise.

To achieve this, EMS electrodes are applied to the skin, directly above the muscle. EMS is a selective intensification of electrical stimuli from an external force. The best results can be gained when exercising actively while using the device. Muscles are additionally stimulated through the electrodes while performing a series of low impact exercises. The combination of these two activities leads to an additional increase of muscle contraction, producing highly effective training results. Your SpeedFit personal trainer will use their professional expertise to control each muscle group by adjusting the training intensity, according to your individual needs. With EMS, visible and tangible results can be achieved in a very short period of time.
