What we do
TFM is a bespoke EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) fitness studio located in Hout Bay. EMS, developed in Germany and now used worldwide is a technique which mimics the body’s natural electrical impulses, sent by the central nervous system, to control muscle movement.
EMS uses this natural principle in a more intense and effective way. Standard fitness training, both aerobic (cardiovascular) and anaerobic (muscle development), only work on a limited number of muscles at any one time. True whole-body training takes place through the simultaneous contraction of all major muscle groups. EMS is thus a highly effective training method as 90% of muscles are activated with each contraction.
This state of the art training technology gives all the benefits of a 90 minute standard workout in just 20 minutes. 2 training sessions a week is enough for most people making this the go to system for time restricted people who have better things to do in their life than staring at a screen while pounding the miles away on a running machine. A further benefit of using EMS training is that unlike most gym based exercises there is little or no stress upon the joints and the exercise programmes can be tailored to meet the individual requirements.
TFM has invested in the latest generation Miha Bodytech EMS equipment and the new generation impulse suits coupled together with high-quality exercise cycle, cross trainer and a range of exercise equipment. This equipment can be used or not in conjunction with the EMS machine depending on the type of exercise programme that has been developed to meet individual client’s requirements. The whole training area is fitted with rubber based cushion tiles to ensure no undue stress is placed upon joints during the training session
