EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) training is a very effective and quick workout that can benefit people of all ages and fitness levels. This involves the use of a special suit that delivers electrical impulses to the muscles, causing them to contract and work harder than during a traditional exercise. The Wisdom in Golf team has partnered with Catalyst team, who sought to bring EMS training to your leisure from your own home. Their ultimate goal is to help everyone evolve with this technology at their own pace.
In a recent podcast, we, together with Katalyst CEO and Founder Bjoern Woltermann, set the tone on what EMS training is and its potential for every golfer, amateur or professional:
(Minute 02:09) “We’re talking about a new way to train for the first time in 3000 years. Because for 3000 years, if you think about it, the Olympic Games have always been the same, right? We wrestle, we throw things, we run, and we lift things. You know, it’s probably a rock, and now it’s a little more refined, but ultimately we measure how much we can lift above our head. This is literally what we measure. – Bjoern Woltermann, CEO and founder of Katalyst
This technology has been used for decades in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings, but is now gaining popularity as a training tool. One of the main benefits of EMS training is that it allows people to achieve maximum results in minimum time. A 20-minute EMS session can be equivalent to a traditional two-hour gym workout. This is especially beneficial for busy professionals and those with busy schedules who struggle to find time to exercise.
Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall health, EMS can help you achieve your goals more effectively than traditional exercise. Another benefit of EMS training is that it can be customized based on individual needs and fitness goals. Less than a month (mid-March to late April) after using the Katalyst suit, the Wisdom in Golf team says they saw profound progress in their golf swing, an improvement in the connection between the mind and body strengthened by the combination, and a better feeling of well-being.
Here’s what Shawn said after using it for a month:
(Minute 35:09) “I noticed over the last week and a half that I feel stronger with the ball, and I feel more capable, and that’s a really fun feeling to have for your confidence. So I go through my practice session (…) my starting club head speed was 102 mph-104 mph, and I can increase it to 110 mph-112 mph club head speed, and that’s pretty much where I stayed. Last year it was at a club head speed of 184 mph,” (35:53) “I haven’t been at a club head speed of 187 mph since I was in my 40s, I was 57 years old, so I’m going 184 mph, Wow, that’s pretty cool! “, (36:52) “Here I am at a club head speed of 187 mph at 57 years old, and I think I’m the king of the world right now, and then when I had a nice moment of gratitude , and I thought of you guys {Katalyst Team}. – Shawn Clement
Additionally, EMS is low impact and can be adapted to all fitness levels, making it a great option for people of all ages and abilities. It is also ideal for people with joint or mobility issues, as electrical stimulation can be used to target specific muscles without putting additional pressure on the joints. Overall, EMS training is a very effective and versatile training tool that can benefit all demographics. With its customizable and time-saving approach, it’s no wonder it’s quickly becoming a popular choice for those looking to achieve maximum results in minimum time.
