FIBO 2025 Recap: Emerging EMS Trends & the Shift Toward Dry Suits and Hybrid Training
The global fitness landscape is evolving—and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is at the forefront of that transformation. I’ve just returned from FIBO 2025 in Germany, the world’s largest fitness and wellness expo, where the energy, innovation, and direction of the EMS training industry were on full display.
Among the many takeaways, one trend stood out: the rapid shift toward Dry EMS Suit technology and the evolution of hybrid training solutions, including at-home EMS systems. It’s clear that EMS studios worldwide are embracing a more flexible, client-focused approach—and XBODY is leading the charge.
The Rise of Dry EMS Suit Training
A key highlight from FIBO 2025 was the move away from the traditional studio-based EMS suits, where clients wore undergarments beneath a shared studio suit. While effective, this system requires time-intensive suiting up and limits session flow.
Now, many EMS studios are adopting Dry EMS Suits designed for personal use. These suits offer:
- Faster session transitions
- Improved comfort and hygiene
- Direct skin contact for stronger, more immediate muscle contractions
To support this shift, XBODY Australia has launched an affordable rental model for Dry Suits—enabling EMS studios and mobile trainers to introduce cutting-edge technology without upfront capital costs.
Introducing the XBODY Home Concept
The next evolution in EMS is here: the XBODY Home Concept. This hybrid EMS training solution gives clients the ability to train at home using a wireless, wearable EMS suit paired with Actiwear devices (one for the vest, one for the pants).
XBODY is currently developing a dedicated software platform, which will likely include a free version with no subscription fees. Studios will be able to:
- Deliver virtual EMS sessions (live or pre-recorded) on a subscription membership
- Sell suits directly to members
- Expand their reach beyond geographic limitations
This model represents a scalable EMS business opportunity that adds recurring revenue and builds deeper client engagement.
