Watch John’s resultEMS vs. the gym
A full workout in 20 minutes, twice a week, for people who do not have an hour.
A Personal20 EMS session takes 20 minutes, one or two times a week, with the suit, clothing and coaching provided, so a workout fits inside a lunch break. The suit stimulates up to 90% of your muscle fibers during simple exercises, which is why 20 minutes can replace a longer gym session.
Side by side
P20 EMS versus a traditional gym
| P20 EMS | Traditional gym | |
|---|---|---|
| Time per workout | 20 minutes of training, about 35 door to door | 60 to 90 minutes, plus changing and travel |
| Frequency | 1 to 2 sessions a week | 3 to 5 sessions a week |
| Muscle activation | Up to 90% of muscle fibers, including deep stabilizers, in every session | The fibers you can recruit voluntarily; isolation work needed for stabilizers |
| Coaching | One-on-one with a certified trainer, every session | On your own unless you hire a trainer |
| Joint load | Low: the suit is the resistance, no heavy weights | Barbell and machine loads through the joints |
| What you bring | Nothing; suit and clothes provided | Gym clothes, shoes, towel, lock |
| Progress tracking | Weight, waist and a strength test at sessions 1, 8, 16, 24 | Whatever you track yourself |
| Where | Tysons (inside Onelife Fitness) and Herndon (Worldgate), no gym membership needed | Any gym |
Chad & Erica
A marathon and a strength goal on two sessions a week.
Erica wanted to get fit for her first marathon; Chad wanted strength and weight loss. Neither had hours for the gym. Two 20-minute EMS sessions a week became their strength work, and they stayed consistent.
John, on the same schedule, lost 20 lbs over 24 sessions. Steve, a trainer, lost 3 lbs in two weeks when he added a P20 HIIT session, which he describes as a few minutes that “gets you out of breath and creates fireworks for your brain”.

How a week with P20 fits around work
Both studios open at 7:30 am on weekdays, so a session before the office or at lunch is routine. Tysons sits at 8250 Greensboro Dr, a short walk from the Greensboro Metro station and the Tysons office towers. Sessions are by appointment, so your slot is yours; text 571-407-1199 (Tysons) or 703-559-4040 (Herndon) to hold one.
Can EMS replace the gym completely?
For strength, core and body-shape goals, two 20-minute EMS sessions a week are a complete program for most P20 clients. Endurance athletes use EMS as their strength work alongside running or cycling. If you like the gym, EMS pairs with it; if you have stopped going, EMS is the workout that fits.
