ESSAI
The device is well presented and support for use is provided. Only downside, the patches do not correspond to those pictured on the box. 8 large instead of 8 small and 4 large. Boring to do the exercises indicated on the guide. To see if it is an error during the packaging.
Comfort of use
For neophytes, the device can seem a complicated to use at Getting started and navigating the menu can be a bit confusing, but you'll get used to it quickly.
For others it shouldn't present any particular difficulty, it's easy to use.
The Fit 1.0 is the brand's entry-level model with its 10 predominantly leisure sports programs, which can be broken down as follows: 4 men-oriented programs, 4 women-oriented programs, 1 pain relief program, 1 relaxing massage program .
The programs allow progressive use, which is particularly pleasant.
The format of the booklet is not the most practical because it is folded like a road map, but it is concise and explicit. Attention on some models, the manual is only in English.
The autonomy of the device, even if it is difficult to say with exactitude and that it depends on the use that you will have, is about a month in normal use. A cool-down session lasts about 20 minutes, I recharge it every 20 uses or so. In short, it lasts a very long time, no problem at this level. Recharging is not the fastest (count around 4h30), but after you have been quiet for a while.
The advantage of the battery is that you can carry it everywhere, particularly practical if you want it. combine with your daily activities. On the other hand, you will not be able to use it by plugging it into the mains if there is no more battery.
Last element to note, the length of the wires is inconvenient. They intersect and get stuck all over the place. So be careful not to damage them.
Effectiveness
The question that often comes up is: are these devices suitable for strength training as well as pain treatment and recovery?
The "tens" mode which is the "anti-pain" mode and massage mode are undoubtedly the most efficient. In particular, they allow you to relax or even "work" your muscles slightly during the days of recovery. This device is therefore particularly suitable for physical recovery during sports practice 2 to 3 times a week.
For the "strength training" aspect, this device is not made to increase the muscular mass. An electrostimulator completes a workout and helps to engage hard-to-target muscles in daily training movements. It is therefore a complement to physical practice which can however be very effective depending on your different objectives.
And for abs?
It is also possible to use the electrodes on the abdominal belt to work this area in addition to abdominal exercises - although abdominal belts seem more practical, such as Slendertone or Beurer belts.
The electrode system is however more efficient and versatile than an abdominal belt since it allows you to precisely target the muscles you want to strengthen.
Storage
Delivered in its carrying case with all cables , it can be easily stored and taken everywhere with you.
Durability
As for the maintenance of the electrodes, it is enough to spend a little water after use and put the plastic film back on. The conductive gel also helps keep the electrodes longer.
Cables, although rather sturdy and very functional, weaken over time and over time. Take care when handling them otherwise they will eventually no longer fit properly on the case and false contacts will occur.
Some people mention failure of their electro stimulator, it can happen. But overall, Compex products are of high quality and the customer service is efficient.
