EMS is EU-certified and supervised — but it genuinely isn't for everyone. Here's who should not train, and why we'd rather turn a session down.
Yes, for most people — when it is supervised by someone qualified and the intensity is set properly. EMS has been used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation for decades. The equipment we use is EU-certified, and every E20 session is run one-to-one by a certified coach.
But "most people" is doing real work in that sentence.
There are conditions where EMS is genuinely not appropriate. If any of these apply to you, talk to your doctor before you consider it, and tell us:
We will ask you about all of this before your first session. It is not paperwork — it is the reason the session is safe.
The most common problem with EMS is not the technology; it is someone pushing the intensity too high, too early. That is what causes the soreness horror stories. A trained coach sets each muscle group independently and builds you up over sessions.
This is also why we cap sessions at one or two people. A coach watching four clients cannot read how any one of them is responding.
It feels strange before it feels hard — a deep, insistent contraction rather than a shock. Most people describe the first session as surprisingly manageable. You may feel it the next day, and you should drink more water than usual.
If anything hurts, in the sharp sense rather than the working-muscle sense, you say so and we bring it down. That is the whole arrangement.
