Q: What is EMS training?

EMS, or Electro Muscular Stimulation, uses controlled electrical impulses to activate multiple muscle groups while you complete simple exercises under the guidance of a BODY20 coach. This creates an effective, full-body workout with minimal impact on the joints.

Q: Where is BODY20 Hermanus located?

BODY20 Hermanus is located at Shop 11, Station Square Mall, on the corner of Lord Roberts and Main Road in Hermanus, Western Cape, 7200.

No commitment, no pressure — just 20 minutes that could change everything.

The Science behind the Technology

What is EMS Training?

Electro Muscular Stimulation (EMS) is a science-backed training method that uses safe, painless electrical impulses to stimulate your muscles directly — the same way your central nervous system does naturally, only more comprehensively.

During a Body20 session, you wear a full-body EMS suit that simultaneously activates up to 90% of your muscle fibres across every major muscle group. A conventional gym workout, by comparison, typically engages only 40–70% of your available muscle fibres and never all groups at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

EMS stands for Electro Muscular Stimulation. You wear a full-body suit that delivers safe, low-level electrical impulses, activating up to 98% of your muscle fibres simultaneously — including deep stabiliser muscles conventional training rarely reaches. Every 20-minute session at BODY20 Hermanus delivers the muscular stimulus of multiple conventional gym sessions, guided one Coach to two members throughout.

Yes. BODY20 uses professional-grade, CE-certified EMS equipment with a well-established track record in physiotherapy and elite sport. At BODY20 Hermanus, every session is conducted by a certified Coach who monitors and adjusts your intensity throughout. EMS is not suitable for people with pacemakers or during pregnancy — your initial consultation at our Studio will screen for all contraindications before you begin.

Most Hermanus members notice improved energy and muscle tone within the first 2–4 weeks. Significant body composition changes — tracked via our advanced InBody 270S analysis machine — typically appear within 6–8 weeks of consistent training. Member Lelandi Jansen described not only growing stronger physically, but experiencing a confidence boost she hadn't anticipated within her first weeks of training.

Your certified BODY20 Coach will recommend one to two 20-minute sessions per week, based on your individual goals, fitness level, and your InBody body composition results. Because EMS stimulates a far deeper muscular response than conventional training, your Coach uses the data from your InBody scans to determine the optimal training frequency for your body — ensuring you recover fully between sessions and progress consistently toward your goals.

Our Studio is in Station Square Mall, on the corner of Lord Roberts and Main Road in Hermanus — upstairs on the second floor, above Woolworths.

I first experienced BODY20 as a member in Botswana, and from that very first session I felt the difference — focused, guided workouts that respected my limits but pushed me forward. The coaches met me where I was, celebrated the small wins, and showed me how twenty consistent minutes could create real change: more energy, better posture, less pain, meaningful weight loss, and a clearer headspace.

"Your health is your greatest asset. Join BODY20 Hermanus — your choice EMS fitness partner — and transform your health today, together."

When I returned to South Africa, I knew I wanted to bring that same experience to my community. I purchased BODY20 Hermanus in December 2023, drawn by the science, the results, and the genuine impact EMS training has on people's lives. Holding an Executive MBA from Reading University (UK) with a practical completed at MGIMO University in Moscow, I bring a sharp focus on service quality, measurable outcomes, and building a team that genuinely cares — which is exactly what you'll find at this Studio.

At BODY20 Hermanus, we have built something we're proud of — a team of exceptionally skilled, passionate coaches who love what they do and love the people they train. From the moment you walk into our Studio, you'll be welcomed, supported, and guided by people invested in your journey. Whether you're managing a health condition, rebuilding after injury, or simply ready to feel better in your body, we are here for every step of it.
