EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) training is a highly effective and time-efficient workout that can benefit people of all ages and fitness levels. It involves using a special suit that delivers electrical impulses to the muscles, causing them to contract and work harder than they would during traditional exercise. The Team at Wisdom in Golf has partnered with the Katalyst team, which has sought to bring EMS training at the leisure of your own home. Their ultimate goal is to help everyone develop with this technology at their own pace.
In a recent podcast, we did, with the CEO & Founder of Katalyst, Bjoern Woltermann, set the tone for what the EMS training is all about and what potential it has for every golfer out there, amateur or professional:
[Minute 02:09] “We’re talking about a new way of working out for the first time in 3000 years. Because for 3000 years, if we think about it, the Olympic Games are still the same, right? We wrestle, and we throw things, and we run, and we lift things. You know, it sure to be a rock, and now it’s a little bit more refined, but at the End of the day, we measure how much we can lift over our head. That’s literally what we measure.” – Bjoern Woltermann, CEO & Founder of Katalyst
This technology has been used for decades in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings but is now gaining popularity as a workout tool. One of the main benefits of EMS training is that it allows people to achieve maximum results in minimal time. A 20-minute EMS session can be equivalent to a two-hour traditional gym workout. This is especially beneficial for busy professionals and those with hectic schedules who struggle to find time for exercise.
Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall health, EMS can help you achieve your objectives more efficiently than traditional exercise. Another advantage of EMS training is that it can be customized to suit individual needs and fitness goals. Within a month (Mid-March to Late-April) of utilizing the Katalyst Suit, the team at Wisdom in Golf claims to have seen profound gains in their golf swing, improvement with mind and body connection that is enhanced by the suit, and a better sense of well being.
Here is what Shawn said after using it for a month:
[Minute 35:09] “I did notice in the last week and a half I feel stronger over the ball, and I’m feeling more capable, and that’s, that’s a really fun feel to have for your confidence. So then I proceed to go through my practice session […] my beginning clubhead speed lately has been 102mph-104mph, and I can ramp it up to 110mph-112mph clubhead speed, and that’s pretty much where I have been staying. Last year it was at 114mph clubhead speed”, [35:53],” I haven’t been at 117mph clubhead speed since my 40s, I’m 57 years old, so I ramp it up to 114mph, Wow that’s pretty cool!”,[36:52],” Here I am at a 117mph clubhead speed at 57 years old, and I’m thinking I’m the king of the world right now, and then when I had a nice moment of gratitude, and I thought of you guys {Katalyst Team}.” – Shawn Clement
Furthermore, EMS is low impact and can be adapted to suit all fitness levels, making it an excellent option for people of all ages and abilities. It’s also ideal for those with joint or mobility issues, as the electrical stimulation can be used to target specific muscles without putting additional stress on the joints. Overall, EMS training is a highly effective and versatile workout tool that can benefit every demographic. With its time-saving and customizable approach, it’s no wonder why it’s quickly becoming a popular choice for those looking to achieve maximum results in minimal time.

She’s an attention who*e who constantly needs validation. With that nose she is a 7 out of 10 at the most. If she did not have the fake ta ta’s and blonde hair she would be a 6 maybe. Anyways the wall is coming for Paige, if she doesn’t wize up she will have to marry an old man. Or even worse burn the coal via mud sharking.

She’s hot, sweet and great eye candy. By all means, she should make every penny she can off it because her golf game will never earn her much more than I can pull in from a $20 Nassau on Saturday morning.
Bob Jones

Less than a handful of LPGA players could cash in on their looks, and Paige is one of them. So why not? The day will come when she won’t earn income from golf, and from her looks as well, so why not cash in while has a chance? As for whether or not her modeling is “good for the game” or whether or not she’s a negative role model for junior girl golfers is entirely irrelevant. She owes golf nothing and she owes young golfers nothing. It’s her life, and her choice, and none of anyone else’s business.

Shut up… was Danica Patrick trying to grow NASCAR by doing the SI Swimsuit issue… let the girl do her thing, she tried to play that failed because people like you all. Good lord, if she wants to use her platform to model then who gives a dam?
Robert

She failed because of us? LOL, just LOL. She failed because she doesn’t have what she needs to have to compete with the best. Got a couple of sponsor exemptions and wasted them horribly. Looks don’t play.

I’m on instagram. You know how many girls “golfer” are on it? I don’t know 99.9% will never make it on LET, LPGA or whatever tours they have. They are living a good life though. Traveling, playing good course, attending PGA events and stuff. Help growing the game? I don’t think so, nice to look at? For sure.

According to the AMA, doctors now diagnose obesity a disease. I see many diseased male golfers on the golf course attempting to swing a golf club with their non-golfing bodies. Page is just showing us what a female golf body looks like, and it looks good for golf and viewing. Just suck it up fellas.
James Strachan

Well said, Amy.
Dr. Bernfeld
Nov 10, 2018 at 2:26 pm
Before you can diagnose obesity as a “disease”, a medical doctor should be trained in clinical nutrition, which they are not. Obesity is sadness, emptiness, loneliness, all in epidemic proportions in America. If doctors learned preventive medicine instead of reactionary chemical poisoning, America wouldn’t be so sad, depressed, and obese.

Young girls are looking at her and asking questions of their parents whether it’s OK to be mediocre at playing golf but more important to have large breasts and a whiny voice and better at moaning on social media making easy money that way than actually achieving victories in golf, thanks to her.
DaveJ
Feb 9, 2018 at 10:53 am
You have an odd definition of mediocre. Mediocre would be like a 12-16 handicap. She is likely a scratch. I hope my daughters think it is OK to be mediocre at golf, otherwise they might as well not even bother taking up the sport because the chances of being better than 9 handicap are pretty long unless all you do is golf and I wouldn’t want that for them.
PatS
Feb 9, 2018 at 1:47 pm
I fully agree Dave. I’ve been mediocre at golf for about 25 years and I still enjoy it. I hope my daughter does to. In my opinion, women like Paige are just what golf needs to grow the game. I follow her on Instagram and she looks like she has a lot of fun playing golf. She’s not afraid to show herself screwing up and she’s not afraid of showing emotion pulling off a tough shot. The fact is, golf is fading. Women and girls are the largest pool of potential golfers. Why is it a bad thing to have someone they can relate to showing them how the game can be fun? I simply don’t understand the hate. Mediocre golfer? She had a banner amateur career and has a win as a pro! Just showing off her looks? Why not? Should she play in an ankle length dress? I want to know how many of the keyboard commandos that put her down would giddy if they were paired up with her for 18 on a random course. We’re talking about a person who worked extremely hard to become a pro golfer for a lot of years and then step away. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to come that close to a goal and realize it’s not really what you wanted. I’d feel pretty lost I think. She obviously loves golf and she found a different way to stay in golf while helping people enjoy the game. I think that’s pretty cool. Instead of asking if she’s good for golf or helping to grow the game, the proper question should be “Why is she seen as such a threat?”.
Brian

In the context of professional golf, Paige is below mediocre.
JARED BRANT
Feb 8, 2018 at 1:17 am
She only posts pictures of her holding her backswing and bedroom selfies. For all of these random professionals from other sports getting sponsor exempts to play in Pro golf events, you’d think she’d be trying harder to get into tournaments as well, since she is a golfer.

Do what you have to to make a living and if looking good does it for you go for it…this lady may not have the talent to win an LPGA event, but she has the looks that people like to see…
Andrew
Feb 7, 2018 at 6:46 pm
Hey Paige! Less time with the mirror and camera and more time practicing. Get that narcissistic personality disorder treated. Golfers may then take you more seriously and give you the respect you seek. PS. There is no such thing as cyberbullying. Unplug and ignore. Respect is earned. Didn’t you learn all this by the time you were 12?
DaveJ
Feb 9, 2018 at 10:50 am
You are pretty out of touch if you don’t think there is such a thing as cyber-bullying. I don’t understand where all of the hate towards her comes from. She isn’t good enough to make the LPGA or Euro Tour, but she still is easily in the top .1% of all golfers in the world and likely would beat nearly every guy that frequents this site.
Dave
Feb 7, 2018 at 5:33 pm
If she were more of a figure on the LPGA tour I would say yes but obviously that’s not the case. She’ll grow it about as much as Paulina Gretzky has with her photo shoots. I assume this is a rhetorical question……….

She’s nothing more than an Instagram creation. Doubt any golfer on the LPGA takes her seriously. Maybe she’ll end up winning a few participation trophies at best.
