Discuss Your Exercise Options
A supported start to getting stronger. A small controlled study in young women with obesity reported improved body composition and physical performance after 12 weeks of whole-body EMS. Read the study.
Build on that encouraging evidence with one-to-one coaching, realistic goals and a routine you can maintain. Outcomes vary; your health and exercise needs guide the starting point.
Discuss Movement and Joint Comfort
Discuss joint symptoms and movement restrictions before choosing an exercise format. Low impact does not mean suitable for everyone.
Set Realistic Fitness Goals
Agree personal fitness goals without guaranteed weight or body-composition changes.
Understand the Session Format
Full Circle’s standard session format is 20 minutes. Suitability comes before convenience.
Ask About 1-on-1 Coaching
Ask about the coaching format, qualifications and how your needs will be assessed.
Check Individual Suitability
Medical conditions and exercise tolerance should be considered before starting or increasing intensity.
Discuss Progress With Your Care Team
Your clinician can advise on health-related goals and monitoring. Studio fitness sessions do not replace treatment.
Before Considering EMS
Discuss your medical history and exercise needs with your care team. A website enquiry does not establish that EMS is suitable for you.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
Ask about screening before starting
Discuss health conditions and medicines with your clinician
Ask about appropriate intensity and recovery
Discuss movement restrictions and possible adaptations
Ask about supervision and when to stop
⚠️ Please consult your doctor before training if you have:

High BMI FAQs
Is EMS safe for people with a high BMI?
Do not assume EMS is suitable based on BMI alone. Discuss your health, medicines and exercise needs with your clinician and ask about screening and supervision.
Will I be able to do the exercises?
Suitability and possible adaptations need individual assessment. We cannot promise that every person can perform the session.
Do I need to diet too?
For personalised weight-management and nutrition advice, consult a qualified healthcare professional or dietitian. This page does not prescribe a diet.
How often should I train?
There is no universal schedule for someone with a high BMI. Discuss suitability, conditioning and recovery before agreeing a training plan.
Is EMS painful?
EMS produces muscle contractions and sensations vary. Tell the coach about discomfort and stop if needed; comfort alone does not establish medical suitability.
