Electro muscle stimulation sends gentle impulses through a wireless suit so your muscles work deeper in less time. Here's how a session actually works.
EMS stands for electro muscle stimulation. During a session you wear a wireless suit lined with electrode pads over your chest, arms, core, back, glutes, and legs. The suit sends low-frequency impulses that mimic the signals your brain already uses to contract a muscle, while your trainer guides you through simple movements.
Why it feels so different from the gym
When you lift a weight, your body recruits only part of the muscle. With EMS, the impulses reach deeper, engaging up to 90% of your muscle fibers, including the slow- and fast-twitch fibers that are hard to reach with regular training. That's why a 20-minute session can feel like a full workout.
- Time-efficient: one 20-minute session covers your whole body.
- Low impact: no heavy lifting and no stress on your joints.
- Metabolism boost: calorie burn continues during and after your session through the EPOC effect.
What happens in a NeuroVolt session
Your trainer comes to your home, office, or hotel with the suit and everything else. You warm up, then train for about 20 minutes while the intensity is dialed to your level. Sessions can finish with optional lymphatic drainage and relaxation. Most clients train once or twice a week, because EMS is intense and your muscles need time to recover.
Is it safe?
EMS has been used for decades in sports medicine and physical therapy, and every NeuroVolt session is guided by a certified trainer. It isn't recommended if you have a pacemaker or certain heart conditions, or during pregnancy. We review your health history before your first session.
