EMS training — short for Electrical Muscle Stimulation training — uses low-frequency electrical impulses delivered through a full-body suit to cause rapid, involuntary contractions across all your major muscle groups at once. At Pulse Performance Buckhead in Atlanta, EMS is delivered via the Visionbody Ultimate Powersuit, which activates up to 98% of your muscle fibres in a single 20-minute session — compared to roughly 50% in a conventional gym workout. The result is a full-body workout equivalent to 90 minutes of traditional training, with zero joint strain and no heavy lifting required.

EMS training feels like a rhythmic pulsing, tapping, or vibrating sensation in your muscles — most people describe it as a deep muscle squeeze combined with a strong vibration. It doesn’t hurt, but it is intense. At Pulse Performance Buckhead, your trainer always starts at a low intensity and gradually increases it based on your comfort. Most members find the sensation unusual in their first session but very manageable from the second visit onwards. The experience is nothing like a TENS pain-relief device — it feels like your muscles working very hard, very fast.

A Pulse EMS workout will feel like a tapping or vibration on your muscles. Depending on your abilities and needs, we can control the frequency and intensity of the muscle contractions for a customized Pulse workout.

EMS training at Pulse Performance Buckhead activates all six major muscle groups simultaneously using the Visionbody Ultimate Powersuit: chest, back, core and abdominals, arms, legs, and glutes. Crucially, the suit also reaches the deep stabilising muscles — such as the multifidus, transverse abdominis, and hip stabilisers — that conventional isolation exercises rarely stimulate effectively. This full-body, deep-muscle activation is one of the core reasons EMS training produces faster, more comprehensive results than traditional training for the same time investment.

The Visionbody Ultimate Powersuit is the EMS training suit used at Pulse Performance Buckhead. It is a full-body electrode suit that simultaneously delivers low-frequency electrical impulses to all six major muscle groups — including the deep stabilising muscles conventional training cannot reach. The suit delivers 85 muscle contractions per second, activates up to 98% of muscle fibres per session, and is individually calibrated by your certified Pulse Trainer before every workout. It is worn over a fitted base layer and does not require any wires or cables during the session.

Yes — EMS training at Pulse Performance Buckhead is completely safe when supervised by a certified trainer. The low-frequency electrical impulses target muscle tissue only and do not interfere with cardiac rhythm or organ function. Every session is supervised one-on-one by a certified Pulse Trainer who monitors your comfort and adjusts intensity in real time throughout the workout. The primary contraindications for EMS are active pacemakers, pregnancy, active cancer, and epilepsy. We recommend consulting your physician before starting if any of these apply to you.

EMS training is not suitable for people with an active pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or any other active electronic implant, as the electrical impulses may interfere with these devices. Additional contraindications include pregnancy, active cancer, epilepsy, open skin wounds in areas where the suit would be applied, and severe cardiovascular conditions. If you have any pre-existing health condition or are unsure whether EMS is appropriate for you, we recommend consulting your physician before booking a session at Pulse Performance Buckhead. Our certified trainers conduct a brief health screening before every first session.

Yes — EMS training is one of the most effective low-impact fitness options for older adults. At Pulse Performance Buckhead, we regularly work with seniors looking to maintain muscle mass, improve balance, reduce joint pain, and stay active without the injury risk of conventional weight training. Because the Visionbody suit provides the muscle activation, there is no need to lift heavy weights or perform high-impact movements. Every session is fully personalised to your fitness level and comfort by your certified Pulse Trainer, making EMS genuinely safe and accessible at any age.

Yes. EMS training at Pulse Performance Buckhead can significantly reduce back pain by strengthening the deep core and spinal support muscles that conventional exercise rarely targets effectively. The suit activates the multifidus, erector spinae, and transverse abdominis — the deep stabilising muscles most responsible for spinal alignment and posture. Because EMS requires no heavy lifting or spinal loading, it is particularly well-suited to people with existing lower back conditions who cannot tolerate traditional resistance training. Many Pulse Performance members report a meaningful reduction in chronic back pain within their first 6–8 sessions.

Yes. EMS training is highly effective for people managing knee pain. By strengthening the glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings — the muscles that support and stabilise the knee joint — without requiring heavy loads or high-impact movement, EMS reduces the mechanical stress on the knee over time. At Pulse Performance Buckhead, our certified trainers work with members managing knee pain to design personalised EMS programmes that build supporting muscle strength safely and progressively. EMS is also used post-surgery and in physical rehabilitation settings for exactly this reason.

For total-body muscle activation in minimum time, EMS training is significantly more efficient than a conventional gym session of the same length. A 20-minute EMS session at Pulse Performance Buckhead activates 98% of muscle fibres and generates 85 contractions per second — producing results equivalent to 90 minutes of traditional gym training, with zero joint strain. EMS is not a replacement for all conventional exercise, but for people who want maximum results in minimum time, it delivers something a conventional gym session simply cannot match. Many competitive athletes use EMS alongside — not instead of — their existing programme as an accelerator.

Yes. EMS training can be an effective weight loss tool when combined with a balanced diet. A single session at Pulse Performance Buckhead activates up to 98% of your muscle fibres simultaneously, significantly increasing calorie burn during and after the workout. The lean muscle built through regular EMS sessions also raises your resting metabolic rate, meaning your body burns more calories throughout the day even at rest. For targeted fat reduction in specific areas, many Pulse Performance members combine EMS training with our TruFlex Body Sculpting sessions for faster, more visible results.

Most Pulse Performance Buckhead members notice a difference in muscle tone and energy levels within 3–4 weeks of starting weekly sessions. Measurable changes in body composition — including increases in lean muscle mass and reductions in body fat — are typically visible in Styku 3D Body Scan results after 6–8 sessions. Results vary based on lifestyle, diet, and starting fitness level, but EMS consistently produces faster visible improvements than conventional training for the same time investment. Consistency is the key driver — one session per week, every week.

Once a week is enough to see consistent results for most people. At Pulse Performance Buckhead, we recommend beginning with one 20-minute session per week — studies show that 20 minutes of EMS training per week leads to noticeable improvements in muscle strength and endurance. Because EMS activates 98% of muscle fibres simultaneously, your body needs 48–72 hours of full recovery between sessions. As your fitness improves, many Pulse Performance members progress to two sessions per week for accelerated results. Your certified Pulse Trainer will help you build the right schedule for your goals.

Yes. EMS training at Pulse Performance Buckhead is particularly effective for improving posture because it directly targets the deep stabilising muscles of the core and back — the muscles most responsible for spinal alignment — that conventional exercise rarely reaches. The Visionbody suit activates the multifidus, transverse abdominis, and erector spinae simultaneously during every session, building the postural foundation that supports better alignment in daily life. Many members notice improved posture and a reduction in upper and lower back tension within their first month of weekly sessions.

Each EMS training session at Pulse Performance Buckhead lasts 20 minutes. Your first introductory session takes approximately 60 minutes in total — this includes a studio tour, a brief health screening and EMS briefing with your certified Pulse Trainer, the 20-minute workout, and a complimentary Styku 3D Body Scan (valued at $50). Regular ongoing sessions are 20 minutes. Including suiting up and suiting down, most members are in and out of the studio in under 30 minutes — making Pulse Performance one of the most time-efficient fitness studios in Atlanta.

For your EMS training session at Pulse Performance Buckhead, wear or bring fitted, close-fitting athletic wear — a snug-fitting top and leggings or fitted shorts work perfectly. The Visionbody EMS suit is worn directly over your workout clothes, so loose or thick fabrics can reduce conductivity and the effectiveness of the session. Avoid applying body lotion before your session for the same reason. Pulse Performance provides all EMS equipment, including the suit and warm water for conductivity. You don’t need to bring anything except your workout clothes and a water bottle.

Your first EMS training session at Pulse Performance Buckhead is $29 and includes a full 20-minute EMS workout with a certified Pulse Trainer, a complimentary Styku 3D Body Scan (valued at $50), and an infrared recovery pod session. Ongoing membership and session packages are available after your intro session, tailored to your training frequency and goals.

Yes. EMS training is effective for body recomposition — building lean muscle while reducing body fat. For members focused on targeted fat reduction in specific areas such as the abdomen, glutes, thighs, and arms, Pulse Performance Buckhead also offers TruFlex Body Sculpting — a non-invasive EMS treatment that delivers the equivalent of 54,000 muscle contractions in 15 minutes, with an average 30% fat reduction in treated areas. Many members combine weekly EMS training sessions with TruFlex treatments for a comprehensive body transformation programme.

The Styku 3D Body Scan at Pulse Performance Buckhead provides DEXA-comparable body composition analysis in under 60 seconds. It measures body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, full body circumferences (waist, hips, thighs, arms, chest), posture alignment, visceral fat level, and bilateral muscle symmetry — and tracks all of these across sessions in a 3D visual comparison. Unlike a regular scale, the Styku shows you exactly what’s changing in your body composition, not just your total weight. A complimentary Styku scan is included with every introductory $29 session at Pulse Performance.

EMS involves sending impulses to your muscles and activating them through our high-tech, revolutionary suit. With a Pulse workout, you’ll activate 98% of your body’s muscle fibers. With conventional training, only about half of your muscle fibers are activated. In addition, our suits deliver 85 muscle contractions per second—compared to one contraction per rep in conventional training.

Bottom line: Pulse delivers a much more efficient, total-body workout in just a fraction of the time when compared to hours in the gym.

A Pulse EMS workout will feel like a tapping or vibration on your muscles. Depending on your abilities and needs, we can control the frequency and intensity of the muscle contractions for a customized Pulse workout.

You only need a single 20-minute workout per week to see results with Pulse. Most of our clients do work their way up to two sessions per week.

Absolutely! From beginners to elite athletes, a Pulse workout routine can help you reach your fitness goals. We do ask that you let us know about any medical conditions or illnesses you may have, and it is always best to speak with your doctor prior to beginning a new workout routine. Talk to us to learn more.

Because an EMS Pulse workout doesn’t involve lifting, pushing or pulling anything heavy, you can avoid taxing your joints or overworking muscles. This significantly reduces the risk of injuries and allows you to enjoy a low-strain, low-impact short workout that still burns calories and helps to tone your body while building lean muscle mass. In fact, EMS technology was initially introduced as a means of physical rehab.

After a few Pulse workouts under your belt, you’ll be feeling stronger and fitter. To take the guesswork out of your fitness progress, our 3D full-body scan will allow you to see improvements in your body fat and muscle composition, as well as your biometrics, such as weight.

The body scan will also provide precise body measurements across your waist, legs, arms, chest and other key body parts, in addition to a posture analysis.

Body Sculpting is an exciting new non-invasive treatment that allows you to target specific areas, such as your abs, glutes, thighs and arms, to tone and burn fat. Treatment sessions last less than 30 minutes and no prep nor recovery time is needed.

Pulse’s impressive high-tech scanning technology gives you a better understanding of your body composition and posture, allowing us to customize your training and get you optimal results in less time. Go beyond the scale – weight is only one number and not the most important.

Absolutely! EMS training is a revolutionary way to maximize your workout efficiency. Imagine getting the benefits of a 90-minute workout in just 20 minutes! Using the cutting-edge VisionBody Ultimate EMS Powersuit with shoulder and calve activation, EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) sends low-frequency electrical impulses to activate a significantly higher percentage of your muscle fibers than a traditional workout. This leads to faster strength gains, increased muscle mass, improved endurance, and enhanced calorie burn. In fact a 20-minute EMS session is equivalent to 2-3 hours in the gym!  It’s perfect for busy individuals seeking efficient and effective fitness solutions.

Yes, EMS training can be a valuable tool in managing and alleviating knee pain. By strengthening the glutes, quads, and hamstrings, while using very light weights, EMS can alleviate the stress on the knees by building up these supporting muscles.

EMS training is completely safe when performed correctly. The electrical impulses are specifically designed to target muscle tissue and do not interfere with the heart’s rhythm or function. Our experienced trainers ensure safe and effective sessions.

You might experience some muscle soreness after EMS training, similar to what you’d feel after a traditional workout. However, the soreness is often less intense and typically subsides more quickly due to the targeted muscle activation.

Many studies show that just 20 minutes of EMS training per week can lead to noticeable improvements in muscle strength and endurance. We’ll work with you to create a personalized training schedule that aligns with your fitness goals and lifestyle.

EMS training is generally very safe. Some individuals may experience mild muscle soreness or temporary skin redness. Our trainers are highly qualified and will guide you through the process, ensuring your safety and comfort. As with any new exercise program, it’s always advisable to consult with your physician before starting if you have any pre-existing health conditions.

EMS training is a versatile tool that can contribute to both weight loss and muscle toning. The increased muscle activation boosts your metabolism, aids in calorie burning, and promotes healthy weight management. It’s a fantastic way to reshape your body composition.

Absolutely! EMS training can significantly improve posture and alleviate back pain by strengthening your core and back muscles. This enhanced muscular support leads to better spinal alignment and reduced back pain.
