Since the late 1990s, EMS has also been used in the mainstream fitness market. In the last 10 years, EMS fitness studios have really taken off. Not surprisingly, because in times when time is becoming increasingly important and valuable, being able to do a full workout in just 20 minutes per session is music to many people's ears.
The big downside of EMS studios: they are quite expensive. Prices in Belgium and the Netherlands vary between 15 and 30 euros per session, depending on the training model and contract you choose. Counting for simplicity 20 euros per session and two training sessions per week, you quickly arrive at a monthly amount of around 160 euros.
If so, EMS training at home is a lot cheaper. Although there are many more expensive models, the one-off purchase price of a quality EMS device is usually between 125 and 200 euros. If you opt for StimPads' universal and quality electrodes, it will cost you barely a handful of euros extra per month.
So in less than a few months, you have already recouped the initial investment.
