How to Open an EMS Training Studio From Scratch. Effective Fitness Franchise for Acceleration

How to create a network of EMS training studios with a turnover of 241 million rubles per year

Is it possible to do a workout in 20 minutes in a special room that will be as effective as three hours in the gym? It’s possible if it’s a class with EMS equipment in the FIT-N-GO effective training studio, the founder of the network, Elizaveta Shepelskaya, is absolutely sure of this. In just three years, her company became the second largest in the world by number of studios. Today there are 80 of them, and the entrepreneur is not going to stop. What difficulties Elizaveta faced at the beginning of her journey, how she won clients and what she teaches trainers - read in “Thirst”.

Fitness innovation

The first business of Elizaveta Shepelskaya from Yekaterinburg was a cargo transportation service, which she opened immediately after university - at the age of 21. In 2009, the girl launched a real estate agency, the company developed successfully - in two years five branches appeared across Russia. But the real estate business did not bring pleasure to Elizabeth; she wanted something new and unique. The girl sold the business and went on a search to Europe - attending business forums and innovation exhibitions, studying the market.

Elizaveta Shepelskaya, founder of the FIT-N-GO network of effective training studios: “At one of the exhibitions, I learned about EMS equipment, a new product in the field of fitness: the manufacturers promised to fit a workout into 20 minutes, which would be comparable in effectiveness to 2-3 hours in a classic gym. Despite the implausibility of the statement, it sounded intriguing, and I still decided to try the training on myself. The experiment turned out to be successful - in three weeks I got rid of five kilograms that I had been trying to lose for almost a year. At the same time, I studied the Russian fitness market - it turned out that the EMS training niche does not exist here, as well as the culture of the “studio” fitness format itself. There is no doubt left: this is the very innovation that I want to bring to Russia and build a new business on it.”

In Europe, the EMS market is quite active and is growing by 45% per year, and the potential market volume in Russian-speaking countries, according to Elizabeth’s calculations, was about 3,000 studios. Now in Russia and the CIS, 90% of the EMS market is free, which allows us to predict rapid growth for the next 7-10 years. At first, the most difficult thing was the presentation of innovations: for many, EMS technology was something unknown and arousing suspicion. Overcoming the barrier of mistrust, showing and proving to people that this technique brings results was the main task that had to be solved.

Hall at home

About six months passed from the moment Elizaveta Shepelskaya decided to create a network of EMS training studios in Russia until the opening of the first studio in the Federation Tower in Moscow City. Previous business experience allowed us to quickly resolve the issue of registering a company, registering and certifying equipment. The girl invested her own funds in the opening - 4 million rubles, which went towards renting and renovating the premises, purchasing equipment, and internal contents.

Elizaveta Shepelskaya: “At first there were difficulties with the premises. Nowadays the expression “fitness studio” does not surprise anyone, but then the format was new and we formulated the requirements for the location and the space itself from scratch. The most correct decision was to create a “boutique” fitness concept - people received the “privacy” that they so lacked in large fitness clubs, and we received extremely high profits per square meter of space. A quick 20-minute workout format would allow potential clients to exercise in the morning before work, after work, or on their lunch break. This means that the studio should be located close to the place of residence or work of the target audience, and the place should be accessible. Based on the selected client segment, footage and location convenience, I chose a room with an area of 53 sq. m. m in "Moscow City". The only drawback, which we tried to ignore for a long time, was the lack of ability to install a shower. Now, when choosing a room, this item is included in the TOP 5 most important criteria.”

The founder of FIT-N-GO studios notes that she thinks through the furnishings of each studio down to the smallest detail - from a comfortable reception area to the presence of hair ties in each locker room. The showers have not only a towel and a hairdryer, but also shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, and body oil. The idea is to create conditions for a person to feel at home, come light and leave in a great mood. Premium service, one of the advantages of FIT-N-GO, helps the company stand out from its competitors, emphasizes Elizaveta.

All in one trainer

The unique selling proposition of the FIT-N-GO studio was the motto “20 minutes instead of 3 hours in the gym,” which at that time had not yet been heard anywhere. According to Elizabeth, her team came up with this slogan, and the rest began to copy it. There are also fly-by-night companies that boldly clone the design and advertising texts of a successful network.

Elizaveta Shepelskaya: “It’s not difficult to come up with a motto, the main task is to explain to people how an entire gym can consist of one exercise machine. The first month we conducted free training to show people how it works and how effective EMS training is. The first two months I worked as an administrator in the studio: I stood at the reception, gave a tour, talked about the technology, concept, advantages, observed people’s reactions and drew conclusions. This was a deliberate and temporary step; I needed to gain my own experience in order to train the staff. It’s not worth working constantly as an administrator or coach in your own club, it will do more harm than good.”

The studio's target audience is clients in the premium and business class segments, people who, more than anyone else, know the value of time and want to save it. They are willing to pay for professionalism, an individual approach and a high level of service. One workout costs on average 2-2.5 thousand rubles, it’s like personal training in a regular fitness club, but there you additionally need to “pay for entry” - purchase a club card and spend more time on the lesson itself.

Educational advertising

For promotion, Elizabeth’s team tried different methods and channels: direct calling people and corporate invitations turned out to be energy-consuming and ineffective because the technology was unknown. There were a lot of questions like: “What kind of fitness club is only 50 sq. meters, why is there no swimming pool, solarium and sauna?” Outdoor advertising - billboards, banners, flyers, promoters - worked every once in a while. Social networks, a warming up website, and contextual advertising gave a good response.

Elizaveta Shepelskaya: “We launched education marketing: we began to tell people about the technology, why it is needed and what can be achieved, and showed the “behind the scenes of the studio.” They began to use opinion makers in their work - opinion leaders, for example, bloggers, which was a new thing during the launch period and had not yet been used so often. After that, people came to us with an already formed need and with a desire to try the effect of training for themselves, enthusiastic clients told their friends about us - this is how “word of mouth marketing” began, the least expensive in terms of money, but super effective.”

Having tried a large number of promotion methods, the company settled on digital marketing. To fill all the network’s studios with clients, it was necessary to create an internal advertising agency. In the fall of 2016, FIT-N-GO launched the “Client on a Platter” service for its partners: franchisees pay only for a real, live client signed up for a trial training session.

High requirements

The network of studios places high demands on staff: trainers must have a higher sports or medical education, at least 3 years of experience as a personal trainer, good reviews and recommendations, and understand the laws of biomechanics, since the training combines EMS technology and classical exercises. Important qualities: communication skills, positivity and belief in the effectiveness of EMS training. The entrepreneur does not advise hiring relatives and friends, who often do not accept criticism and get offended; as a result, you have to make concessions or part with the scandal. Here, as everywhere else, the formula “to lose a friend, give him a loan or take him to work” works.

Elizaveta Shepelskaya: “We train each trainer in two areas: the basics of EMS technology - the principle of operation, simulator modes, safety precautions and the unique FIT-N-GO training methodology - “tricks” developed by our network over 4 years. This stage takes three days. Further training is ongoing all the time: advanced training, certifications, master classes, exchange of experience. Of course, constantly increasing the professionalism of the trainer and increasing the percentage of his clients who received results is our main task. We also pay special attention to the development of the trainer’s communication skills, teach the principles of communication with the client: what can and cannot be done or said, how to meet the client and conduct training in a fun way, how to serve water, a napkin, a towel - we try to take into account the smallest details that make up the impression client about the trainer, studio and network.”

People come to the FIT-N-GO studio with different goals, the trainer’s task is to take into account their characteristics, find an approach and build an ideal training process. The trainer must be able to conduct in-depth research and analysis of the client’s capabilities and physical fitness. The training process is structured so that for each client the trainer becomes a mentor on his difficult path to a healthy lifestyle.

Taking care of the franchisee

From the very beginning, the FIT-N-GO company focused on franchising: it was planned to open 10 studios in Moscow within a year. Seven months after the opening of Elizaveta Shepelskaya’s second studio, she prescribed all business processes and standards, requirements for personnel and management, and has already sold the first franchise. In 2014, 15 partner points appeared, now there are 80 throughout Russia. The advantages of a franchise are low requirements for premises: 55 sq. meters you can earn as much as in a hall of 1000 sq. meters. On average, investments for Moscow residents are 3-3.5 million rubles, and the payback period is 10-14 months. In the regions of Russia, the figures vary depending on the population and the chosen pricing policy.

Elizaveta Shepelskaya: “A franchise is a certain level of responsibility that a person must understand and accept, so at the application stage we always find out what the person has done and what experience he has. If we are satisfied with everything, we begin to work with a partner, help them find premises, arrange a lease, and create a design project taking into account the wishes of the franchisee and applying our standards. Our partner is undergoing training, he must understand the work of all employees - the administrator, the trainer, and the manager, in order to then independently train them and competently supervise them.”

While the franchisee's studio is preparing to open, the company helps the partner deeply study the city market, helps with personnel selection and gathers people for the first trial training. Much attention is paid to advertising - a marketing plan is drawn up and active promotion efforts begin 2 months before the opening, taking into account the extensive experience of the network and the characteristics of the partner’s region. A workflow automation system operates for the entire network, thanks to which the studio owner can track performance indicators in real time on a smartphone.

Elizaveta Shepelskaya’s goal is to bring her company to first place in the number of studios in the world: now it is only ahead of the German network of EMS studios, which has been operating for 14 years. As the entrepreneur adds, FIT-N-GO is already the first in the world in terms of the quality of customer service and support system for franchisees, the task is to maintain this level.

1. Don’t fall into the “no one can do it better than me” trap: As a business owner, you have enough work to do. If you take on the responsibilities of the staff, the business as a whole will be left unattended.

2. Think about intellectual property protection: We missed this in the beginning, which led to imitators. There were cases when people who initially worked with us learned all the processes from the inside, and then worked under their own brand, copying our model.

3. Carefully choose the location: sometimes even 500 meters of distance can play a key role. Spend time studying the traffic patterns and traffic patterns of client flow, this can save you money, time, and nerves in the future.

4. If you are interested in options for opening a franchise business, bet on a company operating in a new, developing niche. This way you will take your place in the sun before it becomes mainstream.

5. Invest in your staff: a trained employee works more successfully and brings you more profit. Our employees who have undergone comprehensive training show conversion to sales and subscription renewals on average 25% higher than a good, but not fully trained employee.

6. When you dream of opening your own business and choose franchising for speed, look for something that will bring you pleasure. Don’t take on something that is more profitable but not interesting to you, otherwise the business will be a burden to you and ultimately will not bring profit. Let your business inspire you!

The latest trend in the fitness industry is studio-based workouts that rely on electrical stimulation. As for Russia, this trend is quickly gaining momentum and most Russian fitness centers provide this service. In this article I will talk about all the advantages and disadvantages of this business idea.

The main advantage of this business project is the quick payback, which occurs in the first six months after opening. Also, it is worth noting that the initial capital is small and acceptable for the average resident of our country. As for the success of this investment, it depends entirely on the location and marketing campaign of the studio.

The main difference between a studio and a fitness center is the fact that a fitness center requires large financial investments. That is why in this article I will describe the stages of opening a studio. The principle of the studio's work is the presence of one simulator, which can replace a full workout on several simulators in a regular gym. As for the technology, it is contained in special equipment, that is, a suit. This suit, equipped with electrodes, causes muscle contractions using electrical impulses aimed at the client’s “problem areas”.

Clients should not expect the suit to do everything for you. This workout targets all muscle groups, as the client performs a number of exercises during the workout. As a result of the interaction between the exercises performed and the simulator, the client experiences greater fatigue and pain in the muscle tissue. This feature is due to the fact that electrical impulses increase the load on the muscles, unlike regular training. In order to eliminate the risk of overstrain and muscle rupture, the duration of the workout should not exceed twenty minutes.

It is worth noting that this type of activity must be carried out under the strict supervision of a specialist who will eliminate the likelihood of injury. As for the cost of a specialist’s services, it is equivalent to the cost of a personal trainer in a regular gym. Unlike a regular gym, this studio does not require the client to wear special clothing. All necessary clothing, including disposable underwear, is provided to the client by the studio. This feature of the studio allows you to attract the largest number of clients, since it guarantees the opportunity to visit the studio not only after work, but also before the start of the working day.

The production of this type of exercise equipment is carried out by the company MihaBodytec; it is also not only a supplier, but the founder of this type of fitness. The country of manufacture of this type of simulator is Germany. That is why the EMS method developed by this company occupies a leading position in the fitness industry market and is a patented brand in Europe. The main indicators of this method are efficiency and quality. That is why this method is preferred by businessmen, sports, film and pop stars.

As for the Russian analogue of this company, there is no such thing, but only one company operates under a German franchise. This company is Aleri Techno. It is she who acts as an intermediary between Russian entrepreneurs and the manufacturing company. This method has helped many Russian manufacturers to open “their own business,” but it is worth noting that this niche is only 10% occupied. Answering the question: “What is EMS for an entrepreneur?”, we can safely say that this is a high-quality service in the field of fitness and sports, which provides an individual niche in this service market for an entrepreneur. Also, it is worth noting that in Russia this niche is practically free.

As for an integral business that does not need to be started from scratch, this opportunity is provided by a German manufacturing company, as well as Russian franchisors. For those who are not afraid of difficulties at the initial stage, as well as those who want to save on paying for a franchise, can count on help and advice from the Russian company Aleri.

To summarize, I would like to note the statistics provided by the analytical department of the manufacturing company. This company guarantees the capacity of the studio, with one simulator, up to two workouts per hour. This indicator was obtained by summing up the time spent on training and preparing workwear. As for the trainer’s work schedule, it is eight hours. This trainer’s work schedule provides daily revenue of forty thousand rubles.

With an increase in the number of staff, the daily income increases, the amount of which is sixty thousand rubles, but the studio’s work schedule is thirteen hours.

The number of classes for one client is limited to eight training sessions per month. In order not to depend on the minimum number of trainings, it is necessary to acquire a wide client base, the size of which will be at least two hundred people. This requires a good PR campaign, which will be provided by word of mouth and advertising on the Internet. The formula for the success of this business is the quality of the services offered.

That is why, after some time, you will understand that expansion is necessary, since the flow of clients is inexhaustible. Good luck in your endeavors and all the best!

In big cities there are fitness centers at almost every turn. But despite their huge number, there are also plenty of clients in each of them. This is because playing sports and having a beautiful body is now fashionable. If you also decide to start a business based on people’s desire to be healthy and beautiful, you are on the right track. But to stand out among the large mass of almost identical sports clubs, open a studio that specializes in EMS training.

EMS is electromyostimulation, a scientifically developed and widely used method of improving the condition and training of muscles using currents that cause muscles to contract. Of course, such technology has been around for a long time. But previously, it was frankly inconvenient to use EMS simulators due to their bulkiness and the large number of wires that connected the electrodes on the body to the device that creates the impulses. Modern EMS simulators have no wires at all and are very easy to use. Therefore, it is much easier to attract people to this sport.

Wireless EMS trainer i-Motion

Today we’ll talk about the i-Motion wireless EMS trainer. When we exercise as usual, we can put a limited amount of stress on our muscles—as much as we can. If you perform the same exercises, but in the i-Motion EMS suit, you will receive an additional dose of muscle stimulation, which will significantly speed up the desired effect from the exercises. EMS impulses are able to penetrate into the deepest layers of muscles and activate them. With the i-Motion EMS simulator, you can distribute the load across different muscle groups as required by a particular type of training and the athlete’s health condition. The i-Motion EMS simulator consists of: a special suit, underwear, a module, and a tablet with software.

The distance between the tablet and the training person can reach up to 100 meters.
The EMS suit has an antibacterial coating.
Significant time savings - instead of 4 hours of training in the usual mode, with i-Motion you can work out for only 20 minutes and get the same result.
About 20 programs are programmed in one tablet: cardio, fitness, strength, bodybuilding, metabolism, capillary, cellulite, skin, relaxation, etc.

This is about benefits for your future clients.

EMS training is a specialized sports technology that was developed with the help of the world's leading scientists and athletes. Its difference from standard practices lies in the combination of the traditional approach to physical activity (performing a set of exercises) and additional stimulation of muscle mass with low-power electrical discharges.

This type of exercise is a completely new approach to sports due to the fact that the muscles contract forcibly. The workout uses a much larger number of muscle fibers than when performing regular approaches in the gym.

According to research, up to 90% of the muscles of the human body are additionally involved in performing the exercise. Due to this, the result is achieved in such a short time. Everything happens thanks to a small but constant electrical stimulation combined with a set of exercises. The person needs to perform cardio exercises and strength-based approaches while wearing a special suit that has electrodes built into it.

The training consists of three main stages:

Efficiency

Training is effective due to additional stimulation of muscle function with small discharges of electricity generated by a specialized computer program. There is simultaneous heating of muscle tissue, as during standard training, and additional contraction due to the systematic supply of an electrical impulse.

Thus, the body receives a much more effective load in a relatively short time. A standard workout can last up to 20-30 minutes, while the degree of muscle and fat mass development is comparable to a regular workout in the gym for 2 hours.

Is EMS training safe?

EMS training is, in general, a fairly safe sport. Like any other type of activity, it has a number of contraindications, failure to comply with which can lead to serious injuries.

The human body produces the enzyme creatine kinase. It is required in cases where muscle tissue is injured. Myoglobin also exists in the body. This is the protein that makes up all muscle tissue. For some people, additional electrical stimulation significantly increases levels of these two elements.

Undesirable effects can lead to kidney failure and intoxication. That is why holding such sporting events is impossible without the continuous supervision of a coach.

Feelings during and after EMS training

The deep layers of muscles are involved in the work. For beginners, the sensations received during the process may seem very strange - the muscles will seem to live their own life. This condition occurs because there is an increase in tissue activity without a direct order from the brain.

Even after a short workout, soreness occurs and the muscles become very tired.

This happens because during training the tissues were stimulated not only by the method of applying sports approaches, but also performed double work, since they received an electrical impulse.

Advantages and disadvantages

Any type of sports activity is selected based on the personal characteristics of each athlete’s body. But at the same time, a set of exercises always has a base of positive and negative characteristics.

EMS training is no exception. The main qualities of EMC are:

Advantages	Flaws
Achieve results quickly. The EMS technique, thanks to a completely new approach to performing exercises, was able to reduce the time required to achieve ideal muscle development by several times.	High price. The equipment used is designed according to the latest standards of technical art, and the price is appropriate. You will also have to fork out for the services of a professional trainer.
The time of such a workout is half as much as a person would need to spend in the gym doing classic strength and cardio exercises. Large time savings are very beneficial for people whose busy work schedule does not allow them to spend several hours training every day.	Inaccessibility to the outback. Such technologies are just beginning to be introduced into the eastern market and have not yet fully occupied the niche intended for them. In addition, not every fitness center can afford such expensive equipment, so most of them prefer to opt for providing standard services to work on their body.
There is no need to carry a tracksuit with you. All items needed to complete the exercises will be provided on site.	Very rapid fatigue of the body. Such sports are definitely not for the faint of heart, since the load on the muscles will be double and sometimes triple.

Harm and benefit

There is no physical activity that does not have both positive and negative effects on the human body.

In the case of EMS training, the benefits will be as follows:

EMS (EMS) training is, first of all, a sport, which also has its disadvantages:

During menstruation or pregnancy, training is prohibited - electrical impulses can provoke involuntary contractions of the uterus, which will lead to unwanted complications.
If you have any skin rashes or psoriasis, there is a risk of developing diseases of the epidermis and profuse acne.
You will have to exercise in a tight-fitting suit, which may cause discomfort for some people. In the process, the person’s body begins to actively sweat, and to the general inconvenience will be added the feeling that the suit is wet from the discharge.

The list of tips is as follows:

Training program

Preparation for classes plays a huge role in achieving the desired result.

It is best to immediately take care of selecting a qualified trainer. If you have decided to stop training using electrical stimulation, you should not waste money on it. The technology is new and an insufficiently skillful approach can lead not only to lost time and considerable money, but also to serious health problems.
The schedule is developed, first of all, in addition to the trainee’s life schedule, on the basis of such important factors as weight, height, the amount of physical activity that the body typically receives per day, as well as taking into account general activity and sleep phases.
It is important to immediately accurately determine the period of recovery of the body after training, since working with fragile muscle tissue threatens sprains and ruptures of ligaments and tendons. To do this, a personal trainer must conduct at least three joint classical training sessions within a period of one to two weeks. Based on this data, he draws up an individual lesson plan.

How the training goes

EMS (EMS) training is a set of exercises that has a special algorithm for preparation and immediate execution:

The trainee needs to put on a disposable suit, which serves as a lining for corsets with electrodes. Now you can put on the exoskeleton itself, through which impulses are received.
Training is underway. The time to complete it should not exceed 30 minutes. The coach has no right to leave his subordinate at this time. The strength of the impulses is calculated in advance, according to the individual characteristics of the athlete’s body.
A massage is performed to drain lymph. It is carried out directly using the mode programmed in the suit.

Contraindications

For some people, unfortunately, EMS training is not desirable.

The risk group in this case consists of the following people:

Those who use a pacemaker.
Patients with epilepsy.
People suffering from tuberculosis.
Patients with atherosclerosis and those who complain of arterial circulatory disorders.
People with tumors.

We should also talk about people suffering from diabetes. Electrical stimulation can provoke a significant acceleration of metabolic processes in the body and, as a result, significantly reduce the permissible level of sugar in the blood.

But many studies have shown that this does not always work. Before starting a workout, a diabetic patient needs to be tested for sugar levels, and if it is in the minimally critical or normal range, you can start playing sports.

It is very important to monitor the functioning of the body's lymphatic system. Electricity can cause an uncontrolled increase in lymph levels.

At the first signs of illness - general fatigue, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, you need to stop training and choose a more suitable set of exercises for yourself.

Heavy sports are generally contraindicated for pregnant women. Here, in addition to the obvious large loads on the pelvic bones and back, there is also stimulation through electrodes, which can harm the fetus even in such a short period of time as 20 minutes of training. That is why expectant mothers are recommended to choose something more gentle - exercises on steppes or fitballs, for example.

Result before and after

EMS (EMS) training is a revolutionary method of playing sports precisely due to the fact that the time required to obtain sculpted muscles is reduced by two to three times. A standard workout at the fitness center will take about 1.5-2 hours. With EMS tactics – only 30 minutes.

The effect of such approaches is felt the very next day - the muscles will behave as if the person spent the entire previous day performing approaches. Moreover, after the session itself, the athlete will not feel the tension and heaviness of the muscles inherent in standard techniques.

Visible changes appear within two weeks after starting regular training. You can get your body in shape in two months.

Price

Such fitness services belong to the category of elite sports activities.

The price consists of the following items:

Services of a qualified trainer. It is better not to rush into choosing a personal teacher, since such training combines both the use of force and a scientific approach. Not every specialist will be able to correctly develop and conduct comprehensive training.
Much depends on the location. Some fitness centers simply prefer not to include such innovations in their list of services. Therefore, the mere presence in the price list of an item about electrical stimulation during training indicates the elite status of the salon, and, consequently, high prices.
Use of equipment. Simulators for EMS training have been developed by a large German company that produces prosthetics and equipment for the disabled. This technology will not be cheap, in fact, just like its use for fitness room clients.

Pricing policies may vary depending on the region of the country. For the capital, the average cost of 10 classes varies from 20,000 to 30,000.

Is EMS training necessary or can it be done without it?

In general, the method of such classes is very progressive and effective. But still not required. People with developmental defects or injuries are highly recommended to pay attention to this method of working with their body.

EMS has its undeniable advantages, thanks to which many athletes choose this training. Time is of the essence. For busy businessmen, this type of activity will be an excellent alternative to long, exhausting workouts.

Many people find being on the gym grounds to have a calming effect. This way a person can fight stress and relieve the burden of everyday life. Therefore, you can do without this method of playing sports. The decision depends only on personal preferences, body characteristics and wallet size.
