Beat Studios
Electro-Muscle Stimulation Therapy
Braam Esterhuizen & Alex Wessels
We are dedicated to helping our clients reach their highest potential. We understand that everyone has different needs and goals, and that’s why we provide a variety of services and classes to ensure you are getting the most out of your workout. Founded in 2021, Beat Studios was born out of our interest in high performance athletes and their time- and injury management. After doing extensive research, we found EMS-training and knew we had to show the world the benefits of this revolutionary fitness method. Our studio has become a popular destination for those looking to reach their fitness goals, live more healthily or walk their recovery process.
Braam - During EMS training with BEATSTUDIOS, up to 90% of muscle fibers are activated simultaneously with higher quality contractions. Compared to conventional weight training, EMS strength training activates deeper muscle groups which lead to better balance amongst the muscles in the body and increased core stability. Strength results without the weight means more relief to the joints, more time for pain management and more time for yourself.
Alex - I have been an EMS personal trainer for the last three years. I am passionate about health and wellness and helping clients achieve their goals. As an EMS personal trainer, I have customized every session to fit the needs of my clients - whether the goal is to gain strength, become fitter or to relieve pain. I strongly believe in EMS and can personally attest to it. Three years ago, I started my own journey with EMS training and, in the process, I lost 15kgs of fat. I have not experienced any lower back pain again. I am stronger and fitter than I have ever been!

"I was scheptical at first, but I love it now! I've had 9 sessions no, I feel a massive difference and I've lost 2kg's. I had both hips replaced and shattered my shoulder and knee, this really helps with the pain.
I feel stronger, this has helped me get back on my bicycle!" ~ Rose Leheup
"I’ve battled with hip bursitis for nearly two years which meant I couldn’t exercise the way that I wanted to, and nursing it led to other issues. I’ve done EMS with Alexis for just over a month and have had no pain at all. Very excited to continue the recovery and start to get stronger"
