BodyLab EMS Replaces Tanita Scale with High-Tech Evolt 360
In years past, BodyLab EMS used a digital Tanita scale to track weight, water percentage, fat percentage, muscle mass and visceral fat percentage of every client once a month after training sessions. However, Jean explained there was an advantage to using a high-tech, scientifically-backed machine like the Evolt 360 to get more definite bodily measurements.

The Background

Having a sense of purpose in life is the incentive that drives an individual towards a happy future. Those who have meaningful lives benefit tenfold from improved mental health, strong personal relationships, and overall healthier lifestyles, and it’s something the majority of people across the globe strive for.

This was the case for Jean Breedt, who found purpose in rejuvenating a fitness facility that had started to crumble. Some years ago, he had become a silent partner at what is now his BodyLab EMS branch, but 24 months after signing on the dotted line, the business was in shambles.

Not knowing how bad the situation truly was, Jean decided to resign from his job and turn around his investment.

“With only 10 members and a negative bank account, I had my work cut out for me,” he said.

“My character and pride were continuously pushed to the ultimate limit, but having my own business gave me a sense of purpose where the long hours didn’t matter.

“The struggle was part of the deal, and I wasn’t going to give up easily; during the journey I learned how money-craving and exploitative others can be, so I made sure to only surround myself with individuals who had faith and vision in my dream, and who could mentor me through this EMS adventure.”

So Who Is BodyLab EMS?

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is exactly what it sounds like – a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to help in the repair of injured muscles. And when Jean first heard about the therapy, he knew he had stumbled onto something special, hence entering into the silent partnership.

Today, he has grown the Potchefstroom, South African studio BodyLab EMS into a first-class facility specialising in personalised EMS sessions to assist with rehabilitation and muscle repair via low impact training. Focusing on those with skeletal or muscle injuries, BodyLab EMS also provides an alternative for fitness lovers who are seeking a challenge whilst having the luxury of a personal trainer with every single session.
