As someone deeply passionate about fitness and well-being, I’ve always sought to push the boundaries of what’s possible when it comes to helping people achieve their best selves. That’s why hosting the first of its kind Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Expert Panel in Houston, TX wasn’t just another event for me—it was the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to a technology that I truly believe can revolutionize the way we approach health, recovery, and
fitness.
The evening was nothing short of inspiring. I was honored to welcome some of the world’s top EMS experts, including Jemima Steinhart, a pioneer in the industry, Dr. Nick Bauer, a PhD Osteopath, and Richard Neidlein, a Sports Medicine Scientist, whose combined expertise has propelled EMS into the spotlight globally. We gathered at The Fit Co-op in River Oaks, and for two hours, the room buzzed with excitement, curiosity, and a collective sense of discovery as
we discussed the potential of EMS. Let me take you inside that evening, sharing some of the most impactful moments and why I’m more convinced than ever that EMS is the future of fitness.
EMS: The New Era of Fitness
If you’re still unfamiliar with full-body EMS training, you’re missing out on one of the most
exciting innovations in the fitness world, stemming from Germany in 2006. In just 20-25
minutes, EMS training gives you the equivalent of 3-4 hours of conventional training. By sending electrical impulses directly to your muscles, EMS activates more than 300 muscles simultaneously, activating 90%+ of your body's muscle fibers, making it a powerful tool not only for fitness enthusiasts but also for those recovering from injuries or looking to improve their overall health without putting stress on their joints. Whether you’re age, a seasoned athlete, or just starting your fitness journey, EMS offers something transformative for all walks of life. I like to say “EMS grows on you and grows old with you.”
A Passionate Beginning: Jemima Steinhart’s Journey
One of the most powerful moments of the night came when Jemima Steinhart, my mentor and friend, shared her personal journey into EMS. When Jemima first encountered EMS over 15 years ago, she wasn’t just looking for a new fitness regimen—she was driven by a deeper mission. Her family had struggled with diabetes, and she was determined to break that cycle.
"When I first tried EMS, I couldn’t sleep for three nights,” Jemima told the audience. “I knew immediately that this technology had the potential to change lives." And change lives, it has.
Jemima’s EMS Secrets Mastermind has expanded from Germany to Dubai, and now, with our first-ever EMS panel in the U.S., her dream of bringing EMS stateside is becoming a reality. Listening to her story, I felt a renewed sense of purpose in what we’re building here in Houston.
Science Meets Fitness: Insights from Dr. Nick Bauer
The backbone of EMS is science, and Dr. Nick Bauer brought that to life during the panel. With a PhD Osteopath, Dr. Bauer has seen firsthand how EMS can accelerate recovery from injuries and prevent muscle atrophy.
“After surgeries like knee replacements, we start EMS therapy immediately,” Dr. Bauer
explained. “By applying EMS to the injured area, we can help muscles regain normal function faster.” His insights were invaluable for those in the audience dealing with injury recovery or chronic conditions. What stood out to me was how EMS isn’t just a supplement to traditional fitness but a key component of rehabilitation and even fusion therapy in Germany and the U.S. Dr. Bauer’s message was clear: EMS is not a gimmick—it’s a scientifically proven method to enhance both fitness and recovery.
Breaking the Myths: Richard Neidlein’s Perspective
Of course, with any groundbreaking technology, myths abound, and Richard Neidlein, a Sports Science expert, was quick to address them. One of the most common misconceptions is that EMS isn’t as effective as traditional exercise. Richard debunked that myth with hard data: a recent study showed that after an EMS session, 80% of the same genes activated during traditional exercise were expressed three hours post-workout. The takeaway? EMS doesn’t just complement traditional workouts—it rivals them.
Another myth he tackled head-on was the fear that EMS could cause Rhabdomyolysis, a
condition where intense exercise can damage muscles and harm the kidneys. Richard set the record straight: “Any form of overtraining can lead to this condition, whether it’s running a marathon or doing heavy gym work.” With proper training and guidance, EMS is not only safe—it’s a powerful tool to combat issues like sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), which is becoming a major health concern worldwide.
Transforming Lives Through EMS
As I listened to our panelists speak, I couldn’t help but feel incredibly proud of the work we’ve done at EMS Enhanced since opening our doors in December 2022. Our mission has always been to bring the benefits of EMS to the general public, and that mission has become a reality. We offer studio, concierge, and corporate wellness EMS sessions, allowing our clients to experience this incredible technology in whatever setting suits them best.
Beyond fitness, EMS is transforming lives in deeper ways. One of the things I admire most about Jemima is how many of her clients have gone on to open their own EMS business. Some have even become competitors, which, as Jemima put it, is "the biggest compliment" to her work. It speaks to the life-changing potential of EMS—it’s not just about building muscle or losing weight. It’s about building community, giving people the tools to take control of their health, and empowering others to share those benefits.
The Future of Fitness is Now
As we wrapped up the evening, I looked around the room and realized we were witnessing something truly special. This wasn’t just about introducing EMS to Houston—it was about shaping the future of fitness. Whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance your performance, someone recovering from surgery, or just a busy person trying to fit in a workout, EMS offers something extraordinary. And time, time is priceless and training with EMS saves you time which goes back into your day to have time to be with the ones you love or things you love doing aside hours of training in a conventional setting.
The science is there. The results are undeniable. And now, with the world’s top EMS experts lending their voices and insights, we’re on the cusp of making this technology as common as any traditional gym session. EMS Enhanced is proud to be leading that charge.
If you’re skeptical, I get it—new technology always raises questions. But when you listen to experts like Jemima, Dr. Nick, and Richard, it’s hard not to get excited about the possibilities.
The science is there, the results are there, and now it’s about making EMS accessible to more people.
EMS Enhanced is at the forefront of this movement in the U.S., and trust me when I say, this is just the beginning. The next time you hear about EMS or pass by a studio offering this innovative training, don’t just walk by—step inside. You might just find it’s the fitness
revolution you didn’t know you needed.
The revolution of fitness has begun, and we’re just getting started!
