How does E-Fit work?
E-Fit uses EMS technology, Electro Muscular Stimulation, which activates the right muscles in a targeted manner. This is done by means of well-positioned e-pads, distributed in a professional and hygienic E-Fit electrode suit. The e-pads are controlled via the E-Fit computer and give various pleasant impulses to your muscles, your connective tissue, your fat layer and to your skin.
The E-Fit sessions increase your metabolism. Many suffer from the yo-yo effect because many diets slow down the metabolism. E-Fit provides the opposite effect.
During an E-Fit session, more than 90% of your muscle fibers are activated at the same time. During a regular training session, this is only 30%! In addition, the deep-lying (and most neglected) muscles are also trained.
Is E-Fit safe?
YES, E-Fit is even the safest EMS system on the world market.
With classic EMS devices, the signals often feel like an electrical spasm. Because E-Fit works with I.S.T. technology on the one hand and with unique impulses on the other, the signals at E-Fit feel very comfortable (such as a rolling massage / contraction over the muscles). This without having to compromise on the quality of the muscle contraction!
Thanks to the Impulse-Shift Technology (IST), the E-Fit equipment provides a lower heat and impulse load in the body. This makes the E-Fit:
- Safer
- More efficient
- And much more pleasant
Compared to other EMS equipment.
Developed exclusively by our E-Fit engineers, IST is a unique method that shifts the impulses over time.
The essence of I.S.T. technology is the dispersion of impulses generated by the individual channels, i.e., the stimulation of the body occurs only at one point at a given moment.
Due to the careful frequencies, the customer does not notice this time shift and feels all zones at the same time.
The biggest advantage of IST is that the cross impulses between the channels are eliminated. This allows you to work extremely safely. This also ensures that this has a very comfortable feeling compared to other EMS equipment.
Another great advantage is that the electrical current sent to the human body – even through all 12 channels at the same time – is equal to the power of just one channel.
In other words, the performance of the device, even when performed at the highest level, is max. 3.5 Watts (instead of 42 Watts for classic devices), taking into account the impulse peaks and intervals, the actual load is only 0.06 Watt RMS, making it unique among other devices on the market.
On top of that, E-Fit has also been medically examined and meets all the strictest national and international quality standards.
It couldn’t be safer!

How does Infrared work (at E-Shape / E-Relieve)?
With the E-Fit Beauty & Slim, the specialised back jackets and body suits are combined with E.M.S. and infrared. While E.M.S. works on muscle and connective tissue strengthening, the infrared will gradually warm up the muscles, just like during intensive exercise. This increases the elasticity of the muscles, which reduces tension. This tension is the cause of pain (especially in rheumatism and fibromyalgia).
Our muscles need oxygen to function. The suit ensures better blood circulation , so that there is more supply of more oxygen-rich blood. Infrared does not remove the cause, but it will support the healing process. Especially for those who suffer from small tears in the muscles and joints due to overload, this can speed up the healing process considerably.
At E-Fit we work with IR-C long wave infrared and it penetrates 4 to 22 micrometers deep into the body. Long-wave infrared rays penetrate our skin and are safe for both young and older people. In our skin, they set the microscopic water molecules in motion, creating heat. The body itself ensures that this heat is sent deep into the body, so that it heats up faster, more efficiently, better and above all safer (deep level therapy up to 3.5cm). As a result, blood circulation throughout the body accelerates and our cell metabolism improves.

Are the E-Fit devices economical?
Do you want to grow your business and save on your energy bill? Then choose E-Fit, the latest fitness trend. A recent study shows that the monthly leasing cost of one E-Fit machine is 100% paid by eliminating 3 consuming fitness equipment (such as a treadmill). An E-Fit device consumes even less than charging a laptop and is therefore a very energy-efficient investment!
Is E-Fit a franchise?
NO, E-Fit is not a franchise model. It seems that way and that is our intention!
We give a lot of support to our E-Fit studios and customers, just like a franchise would.
However, our studios are all run by 100% self-employed and independent entrepreneurs and we do NOT charge a monthly franchise fee or percentage of turnover to our studios.
When you buy an E-Fit device (or several), you only sign a license agreement, so that you can be part of our ‘E-Fit family’ and enjoy many benefits.
We try to support our studios very well in various areas: marketing, sales, business coaching, training,…
In this way, we create uniformity to the outside world and monitor the qualitative and (inter)national image of E-Fit.
That is why we often seem to be a franchise concept, but we prefer to use the term ‘franchise without franchise’ as an advantage to work with E-Fit Benelux!
How does electrical stimulation work?
Movement is nothing more than a muscle contraction, which is initiated by means of a command from the brain. That command is translated into weak electrical signals. The central nervous system transmits these signals through the nerve fibers to your muscles.
E-Fit uses this natural principle. The E-Fit computer replaces the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The electrical signals are sent to the muscles via various E-pads (electrode pads). A muscle contraction given by an external impulse is much more intense than you can generate yourself.
With EMS training, even more muscles are targeted and addressed at the same time. In addition, it also reaches deeper muscles that would otherwise hardly be stimulated during a normal workout. In a normal 90-minute workout, you only engage 30% of the muscles. With an E-Fit workout, you train 90% of your muscles in just 20 minutes. In addition, the deeper (and most neglected and difficult to train) muscles are also trained.
Without EMS stimulation, the slow muscle fibers would be activated first and then the fast muscle fibers. With E-Fit, you can reach both types of muscle fibers at the same speed. As a result, longer training times are not necessary.
How much space do you need to get started with E-Fit?
Depending on which E-Fit concept you apply, you will need between 5m² and 16m² per person:
- E-Move with the E-Fit Infinity: 5 to 16m² p.p. for the full body EMS workout.
- E-Shape with the E-Fit Beauty & Slim: 5m² p.p. (If you already have a treatment room, less than 1m² extra is sufficient).
- E-Cycling with the E-Fit Infinity with bike shorts: 5m² p.p.
- E-Relieve without sports: 5m² p.p. (if you already have a treatment room, less than 1m² extra is sufficient).
- E-Relieve with movement (E-Fit infinity): 16m² p.p.
