READY to amplify your workout like never before?
2 x 20 minute EMS workouts
= 4 hours in the gym.
Ever heard the saying there are no shortcuts in life? Well, that’s not always true. How does replacing 4 hours in the gym with just 2 x 20 minutes of EMS Training for the same result sound?
Pretty good, right?
Carving out an hour or so every few days can be hard when you're juggling a busy schedule. So, if you’re looking for all the results of a sweaty workout in a busy gym, but with a fast, effective and fun option instead, you’ll love EMS Training with Shape20.
Electro Magnetic Technology (EMS) works by activating more of your body’s muscle fibres in less time.
It’s not cheating, it’s just efficient.
how does EMS work?
In everyday life, your body stimulates muscles naturally by sending bio-electrical pulses down your spinal cord and into your nerve fibres. Your muscles need this stimulation in order to move. Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) simply amplifies your body’s own electrical pulses. The extra stimulus causes your muscles to contract more and work harder.
Combining EMS with exercise is a very targeted way of supercharging the effects of your workout and improve your fitness level. Deep muscles are stimulated far more effectively than through conventional exercise alone, making every move stronger and delivering visible improvements more quickly.

Immediate stimulation of the most important type of muscle fibre.
We all have two types of muscle fibre - slow-twitch and fast-twitch. Understanding how each of these works is the key to ensuring a workout that will get the best results.
Slow-twitch muscle fibres support endurance activities like walking, swimming and cycling. These fibres are always stimulated first during exercise. They contract slowly so they can keep moving for a long time without getting tired.
Fast-twitch fibres support quick, powerful movements, like jumping or sprinting. They contract quickly, consume a lot of energy (meaning they burn fat!) and deliver the strength and power you need to spring into action.
To improve your overall strength, fitness and body tone, it’s important to train both types of muscle fibres. EMS specifically targets those harder to reach fast-twitch fibres. In conventional training that comes with a higher risk of injury because of external loads on your joints. But with EMS Training you get all the boosting effects of your workout – without the risks!
Synchronous activations.
With Shape20 EMS training all motor groups are activated simultaneously, ensuring a whole body workout. Something you can’t achieve with a conventional workout because you can only train a few muscle groups at the same time.
With EMS, there’s also the activation of both the agonist and antagonist muscles – say biceps and triceps. Which helps to make this type of training so much more efficient.
Deep-acting tensioning of the muscles.
With EMS, even deep-lying muscle fibres are targeted for strengthening. Unlike conventional strength training, say in the gym, where you need to combine time-consuming holding exercises (such as yoga or Pilates), to reach these deep-lying muscles.
Our personal EMS fitness trainers are right there with you, to adjust the impulse intensity that suits your fitness level and supports your individual training goals. Let’s improve your fitness Coffs Harbour!
