Q: What is EMS training?

EMS, or Electro Muscular Stimulation, uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions while you perform guided exercises. BODY20 combines EMS technology with professional coaching to create an efficient full-body workout.

No commitment, no pressure — just 20 minutes that could change everything.

The Science behind the Technology

What is EMS Training?

Electro Muscular Stimulation (EMS) is a science-backed training method that uses safe, painless electrical impulses to stimulate your muscles directly — the same way your central nervous system does naturally, only more comprehensively.

During a Body20 session, you wear a full-body EMS suit that simultaneously activates up to 90% of your muscle fibres across every major muscle group. A conventional gym workout, by comparison, typically engages only 40–70% of your available muscle fibres and never all groups at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

EMS stands for Electro Muscular Stimulation. You wear a full-body suit that delivers safe, low-level electrical impulses, activating up to 98% of your muscle fibres simultaneously — including deep stabiliser muscles conventional training rarely reaches. Every 20-minute session at Body20 Bryanston delivers the muscular stimulus of multiple conventional gym sessions, guided one Coach to two members throughout.

Yes. Body20 uses professional-grade, CE-certified EMS equipment with a well-established track record in physiotherapy and elite sport. At Body20 Bryanston, every session is conducted by a certified Coach who monitors and adjusts your intensity throughout. EMS is not suitable for people with pacemakers or during pregnancy — your initial consultation at our Studio will screen for all contraindications before you begin.

Most Bryanston members notice improved energy and muscle tone within the first 4–6 weeks. Significant body composition changes typically appear within 6–8 weeks of consistent training. As member Sue Dodds put it after just her third session: the benefits are unmistakable, even after such a short amount of time.

Your certified Body20 Coach will recommend one to two 20-minute sessions per week, based on your individual goals, fitness level, and your InBody body composition results. Because EMS stimulates a far deeper muscular response than conventional training, your Coach uses the data from your InBody scans to determine the optimal training frequency for your body — ensuring you recover fully between sessions and progress consistently toward your goals.
