FAQ

An acronym for Electrical Muscle Stimulation, EMS technology stimulates muscles to contract, delivering external impulses to produce involuntary contractions. It can allow you to burn fat faster and easier than traditional training programs. Just 20 minutes of EMS training can deliver the same benefits as 2-3 hours in a traditional gym. Don't believe us? Join We202 to experience it firsthand.

Prior to the concept of EMS, you’d have to spend hours upon hours on resistance training with heavy weights or other equipment and take on the risk of damaging your joints and tendons for years to come.

EMS uses electrical impulses instead of weights to create an ultra-low impact workout without the risks associated with heavy weights. While traditional (non-EMS) training at a regular gym can voluntarily stimulate 30% to 65% of muscle tissue, our EMS fitness system can involuntarily stimulate up to 95% of same muscle tissue.

No. EMS isn’t painful at all. Our EMS system runs off a tiny, low voltage battery and low impulse frequency equipment. There is nothing plugged into a wall electrical outlet so you don’t have to worry about any discomfort. The buzzing sensation you may experience is similar to that of a physical therapy treatment.

The EMS square-shaped waveform has been scientifically proven to be safe and effective. While it’s recently started to enter the fitness world, the same electro muscular stimulation has been used for decades under FDA compliance by physicians, osteopaths, and chiropractors.

If you’re in reasonably good health and capable of working out, you can participate in EMS training. Whether you’re a professional athlete, senior citizen, everyday professional, stay-at-home mom, or anyone in between, you may reap the benefits of EMS.

We discourage EMS training if you wear any metal or pacemaker, are pregnant, or have been diagnosed with a condition like cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurological diseases, diabetes, epilepsy. It’s also best to avoid EMS workouts when you have been fighting a cold, the flu, a fever, or bacterial infection.

We do not recommend EMS training for pregnant women. However, it is extremely beneficial after giving birth as it can help you recover and get back into shape quickly.

The minimum age for using EMS is 16 and there is no maximum limit. Most of our members, however, range in age from 20-75 years old.

We202 sells an EMS suit to each member at a reasonable cost. Our EMS suits are manufactured with a special anti-bacterial fabric for improved hygiene. In special circumstances, we can provide a rental studio suit that has been thoroughly washed and cleaned.

Bring your personal EMS suit if you have one, otherwise we can lend you a suit if you are coming in for your trial class. Men will not need to wear anything under their suit and women will just keep on their bottom undergarment which should be a thong to allows the pads on the suit to make full connection with your skin. You may bring a fresh towel if you would like to shower after your workout session and a bottle of water that you can refill at our studio as needed during the workout. We ask for you to arrive at least 10 minutes before class so you have enough time to change into your suit.

For our We202 workouts, the timer is automatically set on the workout program on our app to switch off after 20 minutes. This is because 20 minutes is scientifically recommended for maximum results and safety. Since the electrical pulse penetrates deep into nearly 100% of muscle fiber in 10 major muscle groups during a WellfitEMS workout, a 20-minute EMS session is extremely efficient.
