Why Most EMS Trainers Sell Themselves Short (And How to Stop)

In the fast-growing world of EMS studios, med spas, and longevity wellness centers, one silent killer holds more business owners back than the economy, competition, or technology: undervaluing their service.

We’ve spoken with hundreds of EMS trainers and studio owners, and the story is always the same — "I don't want to sound pushy," "People won’t pay that much," or the most dangerous lie of all: "I wouldn’t pay that much myself."
But here’s the truth: your clients will pay when they understand the value. You just have to believe in it first.

Let’s break this down.

The Epidemic of Undervaluing in EMS, Med Spa, and Longevity Studios

If you're still pricing your premium EMS sessions under $100 or charging like your local bootcamp, you're not alone.
Many EMS professionals fall into the trap of comparing themselves to traditional personal training or group fitness — instead of recognizing the true value of what they offer.

This is especially common in:

• EMS studios using advanced full-body stimulation suits

• Med spas integrating EMS for sculpting, fat loss, and toning

• Longevity centers combining EMS with biohacking and recovery tech

They all deliver accelerated, personalized, and tech-enhanced transformations—yet many still price like they’re offering a 45-minute treadmill session.

Why Confidence in Pricing Starts With You

Farid from BetterBodiesLab shared in our podcast:

“At first, I was afraid to charge premium rates… until I realized I was solving real problems with real value. The first person you have to sell is yourself.”

Let that sink in.

You are the reason people see results. Your knowledge, your equipment, your ability to educate and motivate. Your clients are not buying 20 minutes on a machine — they are buying you, your system, and your confidence.

Pricing is an internal game. And most of the fear we carry is about rejection, not reality.

How to Stop Selling Yourself Short: The Value Stack Method

Here’s a quick exercise we recommend to every EMS Mastermind member:

Write down everything you provide in a session.

Start with the basics:

• Initial consultation & assessment

• Custom EMS programming

• Body composition tracking

• Hydration, towel service, amenities

• Travel time (for mobile EMS)

• Recovery support (stretching, therapy, etc.)

Then assign a real market value to each. You’ll likely end up somewhere between $300–$500 per session.

Farid’s stacked value came to $470 — yet he was charging significantly less.

When he saw the full stack on paper, it changed everything:
✅ Higher prices
✅ More confidence
✅ Better client commitment

From Kettlebells to $20,000 Tech: Change the Frame

Let’s be blunt:
Would you rather show up to a client’s house with a $20 kettlebell… or a $20,000 EMS device?

Your equipment is part of your offer. And prospects need to understand that.

Imagine walking into a med spa and paying $400 for 10 minutes of localized M-Sculpt. Now picture offering a full-body, coached EMS session backed by science, support, and measurable results — all for less.

Your tool matters. Your delivery matters more.

Don’t sell EMS like it’s just a gadget. Sell the experience, the transformation, and the total value.

Sales Without Selling: The Power of Empathy and Questions

If you're afraid of being "salesy," here’s your new rule:

Stop selling. Start understanding.

Farid says, “Objections like ‘it’s too expensive’ usually mean they just don’t have enough information. Ask better questions. Show empathy. Educate.”

When you shift from "closing a deal" to curious connection, everything changes.

Ask:

• What have you tried before?

• What’s holding you back right now?

• How would your life change if this pain was gone?

Let them tell you why they need your help. They’ll close themselves.

Final Thoughts: Never Sell Yourself Short Again

Your EMS, med spa, or longevity studio has the power to change lives — but you can’t transform clients if they never commit. And they won’t commit if you keep downplaying your worth.

Confidence sells. Clarity sells. Value sells.

So the next time you feel unsure about your price, ask yourself:
"Would I be willing to pay this much to feel this good, move this well, or live this fully?"
And if the answer is yes, trust that your dream clients will too.
