New fitness workout is launched in Provo

A high-tech fitness workout called Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) has been introduced by Focus Body at the Graceway Sports Centre.

The new exercise approach, presented last December at the complex, promises an effective full-body workout in just 20 with its ability to stimulate multiple muscles simultaneously.

“EMS workout is different from what you can achieve at the gym since various muscle groups are stimulated by electros at the same time- glutes, legs, chest, upper back, mid back, lower back, biceps and triceps,” EMS fitness expert Nicoleta Adina Telford explained.

During the training session, special attire is worn, allowing the EMS cables from the German-built machine to deliver electric impulses to increase muscle stimulation as exercises are performed.

The machine allows greater muscle stimulus to all the areas it’s attached to, causing this form of training to be highly effective, compared to conventional gym methods which only works out one muscle at a time, said Telford.

Other than its time-saving advantage, EMS benefits include weight loss and fat reduction, muscle building, back pain relief, sports injury rehabilitation and, it’s easy on the joints.

The machine facilitates different programs like cardio or HITT, strength, body massage and sports injury rehabilitation.

All sessions are by appointment only and are conducted privately with instructions and supervision from the certified expert.

The personal trainer develops a unique training plan based on individual goals, instructs and directs the exercises performed, and controls and monitors the machine as required; but the intensity of the workout is controlled based on ability.

EMS training has been around for many years and is safe to do once or twice a week, Telford said.

She also offers conventional personal training in between EMS sessions and helps clients with their diet plans to reach their personal fitness goals.

Focus Body is open at the Graceway Sports Centre Monday to Friday from 8am – 8pm and on Saturdays from 8am – 6pm.
