EMS Work: 7 Shocking Reasons It’s Better Than a Gym Workout

by Sep 10, 2018EMS Training

What if you could get the results of a 90-minute gym session in just 20 minutes — without lifting heavy weights or spending hours in a crowded fitness center?

Welcome to the revolutionary world of EMS Work — Electric Muscle Stimulation — the smarter, faster, and safer way to build muscleburn fat, and transform your body.

At BODY TIME, we’ve helped thousands of clients experience the power of EMS training, and in this post, we’re breaking down what EMS really is, how it works, and why it’s outpacing conventional workouts across the globe.

BODY TIME as a Standalone Workout

What Is EMS?

EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation — a full-body training method that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions.

But unlike traditional weight training that only targets around 50–60% of your muscles at any given time, EMS activates up to 98% of your muscle fibers simultaneously. This includes deep muscle groups that are hard to reach through standard workouts.

Simply put, EMS doesn’t just work — it works smarter.

How Does EMS Training Work?

How Does EMS Work?

During an EMS session, you’re fitted with a suit (or wearable electrodes) connected to a device that sends low-frequency impulses to your muscles. These impulses mimic the natural action of your central nervous system, causing your muscles to contract and relax just as they would in real life — but much more efficiently.

While you perform simple bodyweight movements, EMS multiplies the impact by stimulating all major muscle groups at once:

  • Glutes
  • Hamstrings
  • Abs
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Arms
  • Calves
  • Shoulders

This full-body stimulation delivers the equivalent of a 90-minute conventional gym session in just 20 minutes.

Traditional Workouts vs EMS – Which Is More Effective in 2025

7 Shocking Reasons EMS Beats Traditional Workouts

1. Saves You Time

Your time is valuable — and EMS respects that. A single 20-minute EMS workout delivers results equal to a 90-minute gym session. It’s perfect for professionals, parents, and anyone with a busy lifestyle.

2. Activates 98% of Your Muscles

Traditional workouts only engage around 50–60% of your muscles. EMS hits 98%, including deep, stabilizing muscles that improve posture, prevent injury, and tone faster.

3. Improves Posture and Joint Safety

Since EMS doesn’t require lifting weights, it reduces stress on your spine, knees, and joints — making it ideal for injury recovery, seniors, and beginners.

5. Boosts Your Metabolism

An EMS session boosts your metabolic rate, helping you burn 300–500 kcal extra per day, even while at rest. That means continued fat loss long after your session ends.

6. Scientifically Proven and Safe

EMS Training Studies and Scientific Proven confirm its effectiveness. EMS has been used in medicinephysiotherapy, and elite sports for over 50 years — and is now accessible to everyone through BODY TIME.
