EMS Training Studio, Portside
Electro Muscular Stimulation, or EMS, is a scientifically proven training method that mimics brain impulses and causes muscle groups to contract simultaneously. Delivered to your muscular system via electrodes that sit on your skin, this method of muscular stimulation can shorten exercise times by up to 3 times.
Integrate exercise and life with ease
Future Fitness was founded in 2018 with the desire to expand the growing EMS market in South Africa. Future Fitness aims to provide a truly unique and fully personalised EMS training experience.
We aim to help people follow a healthier lifestyle and become more capable of performing daily activities or athletic endeavours.

Versatility
Whether you’re an athlete wanting to train for your next specific event , an individual wanting to kick that stubborn back pain or simply just wanting to tone up and slim down, Future Fitness has what you need. With true versatility in our training as well as our technology our training is suitable for all.
A Personalised EMS Experience
Future Fitness tailors your training as well as the EMS device settings to each and every clients needs individually.
With the help of the Xbody and Inbody devices we fully customise the settings based on your body composition, your fitness levels as well as your fitness goals.
Powered by Xbody
Future Fitness uses the Xbody EMS device which is a state of the art device capable of wired as well as wireless training, the wireless training offers a greater variety of functional training exercises as well as greater maneuverability during the workout. Xbody also provides one of a kind customisation aspects to your EMS experience tailor made to each and every one of our clients.
The Xbody training suit is the most advanced training suits in the EMS field, gone are the days with loose wiring and loose straps, with the Xbody suit offering a much more modern all in one design for ultimate comfort and range of motion.
InBody Composition Analysis
Our InBody device provides a comprehensive insight into your body composition. The Inbody gives us the ability to track client progress on a regular basis ensuring optimal results.
Utilizing the BIA (Biometric Impedence Analysis) method the InBody accurately measures your Body Fat, Muscle mass, Body fat percentage, Water in your body as well as even giving an accurate reading of your Visceral fat which is the fat sitting around your organs.
Benefits of using EMS
Time Efficiency
The entire musculature can be activated during XBody EMS training through all of the main muscle groups, such as trunk muscles (abdominal, pectoral and back muscles), arm and shoulder muscles (biceps, triceps, deltoids), and leg muscles (glutes, quads and hamstrings) which are stimulated all at the same time. It means that 80% of total skeletal muscle mass is trained during XBody EMS exercises.
Thanks to the effectiveness of XBody EMS training, only one 20 minute XBody EMS training roughly equals 90 minutes of conventional training (including short breaks between exercises).
Body Fat Reduction
EMS devices cause the burning of calories in the following way:
Calories are burnt in significant amounts when most of the body is involved in physical exercise.
It optimally requires several muscles, the heart and the respiratory system all engaged at once. Muscle developing and cardiovascular training can in turn increase metabolism and lead to a greater number of burnt calories, so energy consumption is increased.
Muscle development is extremely important, the more muscle someone has, the more effective fat burning will be, even while at rest.
Cellulite Reduction
Numerous studies have proven that training and treatments applying EMS technology cause the blood and lymphatic circulation enhance near the stimulated muscle area.
Circulation is increased due to the intensive muscle work and through enhanced muscle pump, at which time the localized blood and lymphatic veins contract and release as well.
It is through this increased local blood circulation that then facilitates local oxygen supply and therefore causes the skin to become firmer, through smoothing the subcutaneous tissues and removing harmful metabolites, thus helping in the fight against cellulite.
Muscle Building
EMS is an efficient method of training for the increase or maintenance of Muscle mass, strength and functionality.
With all major muscle groups being stimulated simultaneously the weaker muscles are also targeted that may have been neglected with conventional training.
Back Problems
EMS is a very effective way to improve functional performance, and therefore the quality of life by eliminating back pain.
An imbalance in the postural muscles in the back, abdomen and pelvic floor can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including back pain.
EMS can specifically target and train these difficult to reach muscle groups, often causing a noticeable reduction in symptoms and an improvement in overall posture and flexibility.
Posture improvement
Increased muscle strength assists in the achievement of proper posture.
EMS can specifically target and train the difficult to reach muscle groups, often causing a noticeable reduction in symptoms and an improvement in overall posture and flexibility.
EMS activates deep seated essential stabilizing and postural muscles that support the spine, pelvis, shoulder girdle, knees, and feet.
Boost Metabolism
Boosted metabolism can be reached in three ways with XBody EMS training.
Low-frequency stimulation can increase local blood circulation which results in an increased metabolic rate and increased lymphatic circulation.
Using medium frequency stimulation a higher caloric burn can be achieved.
Strength or muscle development training (using higher frequency stimulation) is extremely important as well: the more muscle someone has, the higher the resting metabolic rate becomes and therefore the more effective the fat burning will be.
Joint-friendly Improvement
XBody provides training regardless of age.
Through the combination of EMS with low impact exercises, stress on the joints can be reduced to a minimal level compared to other sports (including regular training with weights), thus it is an extremely effective way to avoid injuries.
