Summary/Abstract: This study aims to point out that the fitness and wellness industry provides innovative means for muscle conditioning. Therefore, our purpose is to increase people’s interest in leisure motor activities by highlighting the effectiveness of EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) fitness technology in improving physical condition. The research hypothesis is that good physical condition in the adult population depends on the normal values of their visceral fat, which is not imperatively related to vigorous physical activity, and this aspiration can be fulfilled by using EMS fitness training. The quasi-experiment took place at the XBody Titan Studio in Bucharest from September 2021 to March 2022 and included 50 people (wanting to adjust their fat deposits) for whom we prepared record sheets with somatic indicators (bone mass, muscle mass, visceral fat, metabolic age and number of kilocalories). The sheets were written at the first training and completed every month. The study participants performed specific EMS fitness workouts using XBody equipment twice a week, and their results were tabulated, statistically processed, interpreted and graphically represented. Some conclusions drawn from this research are: the values of metabolic age and visceral fat are lower from the first phase of XBody training, and energy consumption is higher due to increased muscle activity; correct posture is obtained only after a few sessions; within 6 months, the measurements of somatic indicators are visible in the improved strength of the lower limbs and increased muscle mass, and these results are closely associated with physical condition and diet
