• 9 intensity levels — start gently and build up at your own pace.
• Train anywhere — at home, in the park or away. No gym membership, no travel, no waiting for equipment.

How EMS works

Whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) sends low-frequency impulses through electrodes built into the suit, contracting your muscles while you move. Because the impulses reach many muscle groups at once, including deep stabilising muscles, a short session gives you a full-body workout.

What the research says

Whole-body EMS has been studied in a number of randomised trials, many of them from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. For healthy adults, these studies suggest WB-EMS can produce changes in strength and body composition comparable to conventional resistance training, with a shorter training time. Results vary from person to person and depend on your starting point, your diet and how regularly you train.

Sizing

Available in XXS to XXL. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — the suit should sit close to the skin so the electrodes make proper contact.

Important safety information

EMS training is suitable for healthy adults. It is not recommended if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, are pregnant, have an acute febrile illness, epilepsy, a serious heart condition, or any condition for which strenuous exercise has been advised against. If you are unsure, consult your doctor before use.
