Supercharge the natural effects of your workout
Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) training is taking over the fitness world and is used by some of the biggest names in fashion, movies and sports.
An EMS workout uses electric impulses that contract your muscles while performing simple exercises. The extra stimulus caused by the impulses makes your body work much harder during an exercise session, meaning you only need to train for 20 minutes with EMS instead of 90 minutes in the gym to do the same workout.
EMS FISICO brought the fitness concept used in nearly 90 countries worldwide to Richmond in 2019. Its popularity saw its Founder and local resident Alba Casucci take the leap in 2021 and open the UK's first EMS studio dedicated to group sessions just off Richmond High Street.
"For as much as my studio is full of fun and positive vibes, I'm ultimately in the results business. If EMS was just a gimmick and my clients didn't surpass their goals, then there's no way our studio would be celebrating its third anniversary this month," Alba explains.
How EMS works
The sensation of the pulses has been described as similar to sitting on a massage chair and is increased throughout the 20-minute session.
"People of all ages train with me because the movements and routines are simple but extremely effective. Some want to build strength, balance out their weekend fun or fight cellulite," Alba says.
"However, the older we get, the more specific reasons can be for EMS training, especially for those over 50 when muscle mass decreases much faster than in your 30s. I find people are looking to increase their muscle strength to prevent osteoporosis or other conditions associated with loss of muscle mass over time.
EMS helps stimulate the deep skeletal muscles, strengthening the muscles and the bones which hold the body up," says Alba.
As we head into the cold months, many people could be forgiven for preferring their warm duvets to deadlifts. Still, exercise is an essential part of fighting off the sluggish and tired feeling that often accompanies the cold months, and it is a natural way of boosting your immune system.
