The technology
EMS stands for Electro Muscular Stimulation. It’s been used in elite sport and rehab for over 40 years, and we run it on FDA approved, German engineered equipment.
Here’s how it actually works
One 20-minute session with us works your body about as hard as four hours of traditional weight training would.
Build muscle and burn fat with training that's high-intensity but easy on your joints. No weights required.
Shown to help ease pain and support recovery, so it's a solid option if you're working through an injury.
EMS training has been shown to ease back pain, improve heart health, and build strength across your whole body.
History
Using electrical impulses to build muscle isn’t a new idea, it goes back as far as the Egyptians. What’s changed is the technology. In 2007, German company miha bodytec became one of the first to bring EMS to everyday training with a proper whole body machine built for it. Since then it’s taken off, with thousands of EMS studios now open across Europe. It’s been called the next wave of fitness, but we’d rather you came and felt it for yourself with a free trial.
The equipment
20v trains on the miha bodytec II, a system that pairs serious engineering with an easy, comfortable experience. It’s built from high-quality aluminium housing and runs on a large HD colour display with a 3D virtual coach, so your trainer can fine-tune every session in real time. The suit itself uses the i-body Electrode System, stretch fabric and compression pads shaped to fit properly and stay comfortable, with electrodes that connect magnetically so getting suited up is quick and simple. It’s fully antibacterial and tested to meet strict hygiene standards, so the suit that just worked hard for the last client is ready to work just as hard for you.
We train with you
Every session at 20v is guided by a fully qualified, EMS trained Personal Trainer. They’re right there with you for the full twenty minutes, watching, adjusting, and making sure you’re getting the most out of every session.

Trialed and loved by thousands of Australians just like you.
20v is simply brilliant. Sessions are only 20 minutes but they're intense! As you build strength, the trainers increase the intensity of the EMS system (which makes your muscles contract) so you're continually challenged.
The best workout for quick results and it’s fun and my sessions were all different and definitely not boring! I love this kind of workout!! It’s a great way to get muscles motivated and toned that you haven’t used, getting deeper into the muscles!
20v has become a weekly ritual for me and my Bestie since July. My abs have changed dramatically just in time for summer!
I love my 20v training! I’ve been doing one session every fortnight alongside my regular gym routine, and it’s been such a great addition. I feel more engaged in my workouts, and after every session I genuinely feel like I’ve shrunk a little. Thank you!
Got questions?
For most people, yes. It suits complete beginners right through to seasoned athletes. There are a few medical conditions where we'd need to check with you first, like pregnancy or a pacemaker, so have a chat with your trainer if you're unsure.
EMS activates around 90% of your muscle fibres at once, including the ones a normal workout barely touches. That's why 20 minutes here can do the work of a much longer session in a regular gym.
No. It feels more like a deep, buzzing muscle contraction than anything painful, and your trainer sets the intensity, so you're always in control.
Come in well fed and hydrated. The suit takes a bit of getting used to, most people laugh the first time, and you'll settle into it fast.
Some people feel it after their very first session. Most notice real changes within three to six weekly sessions, especially alongside good sleep and nutrition.
