0805 Fitness introduces to Bahrain a 20-minute exercise session more effective than a 3-hour normal workout. Sounds too good to be true?

Lama Zaarour, the Founder of 0805 Fitness, introduced one year ago a team of her highly experienced personnel and certified trainers to share with clients a highly effective workout session known as EMS – Electrical Muscle Stimulation.

When asked why EMS was the focus of her interest out of all the sports and fitness activities to exist, she pointed out two keywords: efficiency and effectiveness. According to the clients at 0805 Fitness, EMS Training helps them make better use of their time by shortening the period needed to exercise while drastically amplifying results.

During the EMS training, all that is required from the members is to simply put on their breathable, anti-bacterial exercise vest which is suited with electrodes targeting different muscle groups and begin their customized session tailored by the certified EMS trainers.

Scientifically, EMS Training works by sending electrical impulses to activate 90% of the muscles that normally might not be engaged while at the gym. This includes simultaneous efforts of muscles that a person may not be able to feel or control as well as the major muscle groups.

Hence, when combined with deliberate muscle tension it helps the muscles work exceptionally harder without the use of any added weights. 0805 Fitness further explains that since muscle fibres are activated more than with regular exercise, the clients burn up to an average of 800 calories in 20 minutes whilst performing movements such as bicep curls, crunches, squats, lunges, and other exercises.

EMS has been receiving an increased amount of attention in the last few years. Used mainly for physiotherapy purposes and utilized by athletes as a strengthening and post-recovery tool as well as a rehabilitation/preventive tool for patients who are partially or completely immobilized. It is not a new breakthrough, however, EMS Training has re-emerged in the market with a more eminent role as seen by the public.

Clients of 0805 Fitness include stay-at-home mothers, working mothers, senior citizens, workaholics, travellers constantly on the go, gym fanatics, and the list goes on. To the clients, it really is all about saving their time with EMS rather than spending 2 hours every day at the gym for the same results.

To answer the query ‘Is it too good to be true’, 0805 Fitness respond to a few questions on their clients’ experiences by touching upon the nutritional aspects, when to expect noticeable results, and the outlook on safety. Principally, EMS is not a magic stick; it is an intense form of training that just like any other requires a healthy diet. Clients are always reminded to combine EMS with good nutritional sustenance that suits their body’s needs and is in line with their main objective for exercising – get in shape or maintain a healthy lifestyle.

With that in mind, members will begin to see changes in their physical appearance and performance soon after their fourth session. Recognizable changes are typically seen after three months’ time if the member is maintaining regular attendance once a week.

Last but certainly not least, as according to Lama, safety is the first concern when people hear about EMS and its administration of electricity. The answer to that is an absolute yes, EMS is very safe.

As mentioned previously, this is not a new contraption and is used mainly at physiotherapy centres for enrolled patients. Despite the intensity of the workout, there is no pain involved as the electrical impulses are low and can be described as a tingling sensation.

In fact, EMS is easy on the joints, used mainly for back pain, and for those with difficulty while exercising or even walking due to pain. 0805 Fitness goes the extra mile with its equipment and bodysuits by dealing with world-renowned German EMS technology, Miha Bodytec, who is an industry leader since 2007.

0805 Fitness is appraised to be a valued addition to the Kingdom as it is a new extension to the sports and fitness industry. For a clear background on how it all began, Lama visited Bahrain sometime in May 2016 where, as an entrepreneur, she had an insight to an opportunity for supplying the market with an idea that is unique.

When asked what it meant to her to be an entrepreneur, she replied passionately by saying; “0805 Fitness is the fruit of a dream, belief, perseverance, hard work, and of course commitment.

Entrepreneurship is a choice and a lifestyle. It is a long road ahead, and I look forward to walking through this journey in a very promising and supportive market as it is here in Bahrain”.

Elaborating on the second half of her statement, she expressed how the Bahraini people are very down to earth, very helpful, educated and knowledgeable hard workers, and that it reflects back on how promising the market is especially with the support of the government for SMEs.
