A fitness suit, touted to be revolutionary, has arrived in the UAE and is promising to take away the pain and sweat out of working out your muscles for a leaner you.
Easy Motion Skin, a company headquartered in Austria, is behind the sales of the blue-coloured outfit which has been designed by German scientist Dr Dirk Fritzche and is expanding operations in the country after establishing good testimonials with top athletes and even astronauts in Germany.
Bringing the product is Jan Ising, who has helped set-up events at places like the Burj Khalifa and Expo2020. “It can help lose weight, firm your skin and help get rid of cellulite and all this without causing back pain while also improving any disbalances caused by wrong habits from daily life,” says Ising.
The concept is nothing new, the company admits. “We are only reinventing the old way of Electromyography (EMG) in which the brain sends a signal to the muscles,” Ising explains. “In the late 70s, experiments were conducted on frogs with electrodes attached to their leg muscles to see how long they could leap. Until recently too, body suits with complex wires and gadgets attached have been in use but the movement is severely restricted and impractical.”
“Our suit is powered by a small, long-lasting battery and made up of washable, comfortable material with humidity not a factor and the high-quality electrodes are placed to target eight different muscle categories – without troubling yourself or risking back pain and potentially more injuries and damage then the good done by working out.
“However, once you get used to it – even 20-minute sessions twice a week is enough – you need mobility to work your muscles on a professional level; for which one usually recommends a trainer.”
Billing the suit as “the world’s smallest gym”, the development team led by Mr Ising is so confident that they are encouraging people to see the proof in the pudding themselves by trying it out. The suit comes in a Home Edition for individual users and a Studio Edition for those looking to share it or rent it among a larger benefactor base.
“We are looking at direct marketing where they can buy the suit from us online or collect it from our partner gyms or personal trainers,” Ising adds. “It is a sustainable system where the suit is used in conjunction with the experts who believe in the system.”
To complement the suit, the company has also collaborated with other products which work on a similar EMG concept. There is the ReLounge chair, an arching table with electrodes placed on the back region. There is another massage table, a flat one, which has a slow and steady, but similar relaxation effect on the back muscles especially.
“Our products are where science meets lifestyle. We are activating your muscles, improving mobility and increasing endurance.
“We can provide follow-up support for clinics and physios for: sin tightening for mothers, muscle building after surgeries, compensation of disbalances in body muscles, optimize training results, an immediate solution for cellulite issues – all with the push of a button.”

Though the suit is a fitness and lifestyle product in the UAE for starters, it is registered with medical authorities in Europe.
Their headquarters in Seefel, Austria, also known as the Dome, is being used as a training facility for top athletes. The company is working with the European Space Agency, SpaceX, the Centre for Space, Medicine & Extreme Environments in Berlin and the word of mouth is growing.
Another brand ambassador is Kai Kazmirek, a German decathlete, who had swelled to 120kg in weight during a complex injury lay-off. After using the suit, his recovery has fastened and what would have taken a year took only three months, Ising claims.
The suit was presented to a select audience at the expansive AB Fitness facility in Port Rashid, Dubai. Yolanda Banda, a marketing executive by profession and a fitness freak, got curious and decided to don the blue kit. “I did it only for 10 minutes but I can still feel my muscles twitching. It is a great feeling,” she said.
The home edition is priced roughly around 12,500 dirhams and can be ordered online from their website.
Dubai motorists are being urged to stay alert after Parkin warned customers about fraudsters posing as the company.
In a message shared on social media, Parkin said official communications are only sent from the short code 7275, and any messages or links claiming to be from the company outside of this should be treated with caution.
The parking operator advised customers not to engage with suspicious messages or click on unverified links, stressing that confirmation should always be done through the official Parkin app or parkin.ae.
Parkin manages around 207,000 paid parking spaces across Dubai, offering a fully digitised parking experience with multiple digital payment options and smart parking systems. The company recently upgraded its app to integrate multiple permit services into one platform, making it easier for users to manage parking access.
Looking ahead, Parkin is set to introduce paid parking in International City next month, further expanding its services across the emirate.
The company also reminded motorists that certain groups remain exempt from parking fees, including Emirati residents, senior Emiratis, and People of Determination.
Parents across the UAE are being advised to check their baby formula after the Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE) confirmed that Nestle S26 AR has now been added to a voluntary and precautionary recall.
The product is intended for use only under medical supervision, and the recall applies to specific batches after traces of the bacterium Bacillus cereus were detected in a production input. While no widespread illness has been reported, the move is part of proactive steps to protect public health.
Affected batch numbers
5185080661
5271080661
5125080661
According to the EDE, Bacillus cereus can produce a toxin that may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, particularly in vulnerable groups such as infants.
Working closely with Nestlé, authorities have already secured affected batches from distributor warehouses, with ongoing efforts to remove any remaining products from retail shelves and e-commerce platforms nationwide.
To make things easier for parents, Nestle MENA has launched digital tools allowing consumers in the UAE to:
Check whether their product is affected
Request a refund or replacement quickly and easily
The EDE urged consumers to rely on official sources for updates and reassured the public that the recall is precautionary and aligned with national safety protocols.
Parents with concerns are advised to stop using affected products immediately and follow Nestlé’s official guidance.
Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has called on everyone across the UAE to come together on Saturday, January 17, by tuning in to the national media channels for a broadcast of the UAE national anthem at 11am.
Taking to social media ahead of the Day of Resolve, Sheikh Hamdan urged residents to reflect on the values that continue to unite the nation. “On January 17 each year, we reflect on the resolve, unity and solidarity shown by the people of the UAE, standing proudly behind their national flag to safeguard the country’s achievements and uphold its global standing,” he said.

“We invite everyone across the UAE to follow our national media channels, which will broadcast the national anthem at 11am tomorrow, Saturday, as we renew our pledge and determination to continue advancing and elevating our beloved country.”
January 17 holds deep national significance for the UAE, marking a moment of collective strength, resilience and unity. The day commemorates the country’s steadfast response to the January 17, 2022, attacks on civilian infrastructure in Abu Dhabi, which claimed innocent lives and underscored the nation’s solidarity in the face of adversity.
President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has previously described January 17 as a day that reflects the UAE’s strength, resilience and unity, values that continue to define the nation today.
Residents are encouraged to pause at 11am on Saturday, wherever they are, to join in this nationwide moment of remembrance, pride and unity.
