EMS: Electrical Muscle Stimulation
STRENGTHEN YOUR BODY
Short on time? EMS is a 30-minute guided workout in a wireless suit, followed by a 5-minute relax programme.
Electrostimulation (EMS) employs electrical impulses to contract muscles, giving you an intense full-body workout in a short session.
At AURORA, we use only the latest Wiemspro technology, with these advantages:
-
COMFORT: Our lightweight and breathable EMS suit for unrestricted movement during your workout.
-
FREEDOM: Wireless suits, no cables. Move naturally through functional exercises.
-
PERSONAL: Your trainer adjusts the intensity to you throughout the session. Every client uses a personal EMS suit, for hygiene.
-
SAFETY: EMS isn't suitable for everyone, so we'll go through a short health questionnaire before your first session.
Strength:
Build strength in short, guided sessions.
Endurance & coordination:
Train your whole body at once.
Posture:
Work the deep core and back muscles.
Low impact:
No excessive stress on your joints while your muscles work hard.
SHORT · GUIDED · LOW IMPACT
Short, full-body sessions, with a trainer guiding you from start to finish.
In a controlled trial, whole-body EMS gave muscle and strength gains comparable to classic strength training, with less than half the training time [Kemmler 2016].
Train with EMS individually or in small groups of up to 4, with personal attention and guidance from our certified trainers. An individual introductory assessment when you sign up helps us adapt the training to your needs and preferences.
Our EMS classes include a thorough warm up and cool down. Focus on enhancing flexibility through gentle stretches targeting key muscle groups. Additional exercises aim to strengthen your core and improve balance. We incorporate Yoga and Pilates techniques and through the implementation of gravity-assisted exercises we build strength and endurance. Low-impact routines, adapted to every age and fitness level. Before your first session, we go through a short health questionnaire together.
We start gently and build up at your pace. Most clients train once or twice a week.
