Next generation EMS Amplitrain – maker of the AmpliTrain Pro – has created the AmpliCube, which the company calls a ‘completely new generation of EMS device’.
The AmpliCube is designed to exercise the entire body, achieving electric muscle activation through a medium-frequency current of 2000Hz. The device connects magnetically with the AmpliSkin suit, allowing up to four people to workout simultaneously with the training device.
The system is operated via a touchscreen interface, with a 15-inch monitor built into a console. Meanwhile, an app – the AmpliApp – manages, documents and plans your training, with Android smartphones able to connect with the system via Bluetooth 4.0.
Presented in an aluminium casing, it measures 13 x 13 x 15cm and weighs only 1.5kg.
