The Bionic Fitness EMS Suit MIHA BODYtec
There are 3 parts to an EMS suit. The vest, the glute band and accessory attachment.
The suit comes in 2 sizes.
Vest- S & M
Glute hip band- S & M
Attachments - 1,2,3.
Choosing a vest size.
If the client is new and you are unsure of their size it is recommended to ask them to try on a vest before spraying it up with water to save having to re spray up a different suit. There are some cases where going to a larger suit size might be more suitable if the client has ether a long torso, wide hips or a large chest.
Men and women can use both vests. The vest also have extension bands. There are 2 sizes of extension bands that can be used to make the jackets bigger.
If a client is wide but has a short torso it may be more comfortable to use the smaller jacket with a extension band in the middle.
The Glute band.
There are 2 glute band sizes (Small & medium) with 2 different sizes attachment clips that you can use to make the bands longer. At the Bionic studio we do also have a few of Miha old style glute bands. These are sizes L and XL. These can be used on our larger clients. Once these larger size glute bands break we will only have the smaller glute bands with the extension clips.
The accessories.
Sizes come in 1, 2 & 3. Size #1 is used for arms and people with average to smaller calve sizes. Size #2 is used for legs, calves and in rare cases larger peoples biceps. Size #3 is used for legs on people with larger then average legs.
When doing to calves there is an extra attachment cord. that you will use to attach the electrodes.
Mina is forever changing their equipment. at the studio we do also have a few pieces of their new steps that come in sizes 1,2 & 3 as well. These don’t have a velcro but have a small hook that goes into the fabric. At this moment we are using them just on the calve muscles to get a hang of how they work.
The Undergarment.
The undergarments is made of seamless breathable anti-micro quick dry Lyocell Polyamied Elastan material. Clients are not aloud to wear their own active wear. This material allows the muscles to feel the full effect of the electrodes.
The undergarments come in sizes S, M, L, and XL.
It is better to give a client a size larger then a size smaller to avoid the material over stretching and becoming see through. Men with larger arms and women with larger then average glutes are recommend to use the large size.
We recommend a client go completely commando under their undergarments. When the client is sprayed with water the clients bra and underwear will be left drenched. This would not be ideal if the client is going back to work.
Bra- No underwire aloud. If i client chooses to wear a sports bra they need to make sure there is very little strapping on the back to avid extra padding between the muscles and electrodes. Some clients with a larger chest may insist on wearing a bra.
Underwear- A g-string and 100% cotton is completely fine. If i client does wear normal underwear there is a chance the electrodes wont make full contact with the glutes.
If the client does forget to take of their bra or underwear and the electrodes arn’t working, if you have time it is best practice to un suit the client and ask them to take it off.
Footwear
Clients are able to go bear foot, gym shoes or socks whatever they are comfortable in.
