by Sep 10, 2018EMS Training

If you’re asking, “Is EMS training safe?”, you’re not alone. Safety is the top concern for anyone trying something new—especially when it involves electrical impulses sent into your body. But rest assured, EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation)has been scientifically provenmedically approved, and globally trusted for decades.

At BODY TIME, we use medically certified German-made EMS technology, and every session is guided by a qualified personal trainer to ensure maximum safety, comfort, and results. Let’s break down the facts that prove EMS is not only safe—but one of the most intelligent training systems available today.

1. EMS Uses Low, Non-Dangerous Current Levels

The current used in Electric Muscle Stimulation training is in the low milliampere range, which is completely safe for the human body. It mimics the natural electrical impulses your brain sends to your muscles, but with a stronger and more targeted intensity.

There’s no risk of electric shock, and users only feel a controlled contraction—similar to flexing your muscles hard during a workout.

3. EMS Training Mimics Natural Muscle Contractions

The electrical impulses used in EMS simply amplify the brain’s natural signals. During EMS training, your muscles contract just as they would in traditional strength training—only more efficiently and with deeper activation.

Since the current bypasses the central nervous system and goes directly to the muscles, it’s safe, controlled, and effective, especially when supervised.

4. Training Intensity Is Customized to Your Body

At BODY TIME, EMS sessions are never generic. Each workout is led by a certified EMS personal trainer who:

  • Calibrates the intensity based on your fitness level
  • Monitors your movement and muscle response
  • Ensures no overstimulation or muscle fatigue
  • Makes EMS 100% safe, tailored, and optimized

This personal approach minimizes the chance of injury and ensures the training is within safe physiological limits.

5. EMS Is Safe for All Fitness Levels – Ages 18 to 80+

  • A fitness beginner
  • A professional athlete
  • A senior looking to stay mobile
  • A new mom recovering postpartum
  • Or someone with joint or back issues

EMS can be adapted safely to your situation. You can read more in our blog: Who Can Do EMS.

6. No Joint or Tendon Stress – Ideal for Rehabilitation

Unlike conventional training, EMS does not rely on lifting heavy weights or repetitive joint movements. It focuses on muscle contractions without external load, making it perfect for:

  • People with joint issues
  • Chronic back pain sufferers
  • Rehabilitation after injury or surgery

It delivers full-body muscle stimulation while protecting your joints—a key reason EMS is used in the medical field globally.
