Suit Up and Work Out!

OHM Fitness's EMS Suit Makes all the Difference

Wish you could “turn up the volume” on your workout? OHM Fitness can make that possible with its high-tech EMPower Suit. Suiting up and working out with this breakthrough scientific technology will deliver results three times faster than traditional workouts!

OHM Fitness is the first franchise to deliver group workouts using highly-effective Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) through the use of its wearable wireless technology, the OHM EMPower Suit. This high-tech fitness revolution packs the benefits of an intense two-and-a-half-hour workout into a low-impact, 25-minute session. Members achieve results three times faster than at a traditional gym because the suit’s electrical pulses deliver 85 contractions per second to muscles instead of the body’s typical one contraction per second without the suit.  (For those who may not know, “ohm” is a measurement of electrical resistance.)

It sounds unbelievable, but it’s all possible due to EMS. The technology has been around for decades, but the ability to use it in a group setting is new, thanks to advancements by OHM Fitness CEO and Co-Founder, Doug Payne. In the past, this type of workout has been reserved for elite athletes and celebrities, but now it’s going mainstream.

Owned by husband and wife team John and Janet Mok, OHM Fitness is a game-changer. “It was very gratifying to see and hear the positive reactions of our members when they first tried OHM Fitness classes and the EMPower Suit,” says Janet.

The one-piece suit has 20 pads that stimulate and contract the body’s major muscle groups. It’s powered by a battery pack fastened at the hip (eliminating the need for wires), which sends the appropriate pulses to the designated muscle groups. The pulse level, which is based on each client’s routine and fitness level, is adjusted throughout the class with a tablet by the group fitness coach. Everyone’s experience is unique, so that it meets their personal health and fitness goals with a full-body workout. 

“Once we tried OHM Fitness for ourselves, we instantly knew it would stand out from the rest,” says Janet. “The wireless EMS technology allows us to provide both gentle, joint-friendly movements for individuals with musculoskeletal concerns as well as intense, comprehensive workouts for those seeking a deeper physical challenge. Once you slip on the EMPower Suit and try a class, you get what all the hype is about!”

“We believe this next generation of fitness will appeal to health-conscious residents, time-pressed individuals/parents, the tech-minded, and those previously concerned or hesitant to engage in traditional gym-based exercise,” says John.

“Members are so charged up when they come in for the classes,” says Janet. “It’s quite evident that they are overjoyed with completing a comprehensive workout in just 25 minutes. It’s also rewarding to be able to give every BODY an opportunity to workout safely while improving overall health.”
