Davidson Networking Spotlight: Elle Borg at Body20 Jacksonville Beach

Think of a typical gym and visions include mirrored walls of dumbbells, treadmills and endless weight machines. You may also envision bored gym goers spending hours practicing ineffective workouts.

Enter Body20, a technology-driven workout system that uses EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) to mimic the natural action of our central nervous system to stimulate muscles, thereby supercharging your workouts for results NOW.

Body20 workouts have been shown to boost strength and endurance while preventing injury—all in a fraction of the time you’ll spend in a conventional gym. Workouts take, you guessed it, just 20 minutes.

This format is catching on and Body20 is expanding fast. In fact, a new location recently opened in Jacksonville Beach. We connected with franchise owner and manager Elle Borg to learn more about Body20 and just how it achieves big results far better than other gyms.

Elle, who attends Davidson Realty’s monthly Networking Events, earned her EMS certification in January 2018 and launched the Jax Beach location in March 2019. Learn more below!

What sets you apart from other fitness studios?  What sets us aside is our unique concept on the modern effective workout! No other gym in Jacksonville currently offers EMS to their clients. 

Body20 is a culture created in South Africa and brought to the states by an extremely innovative and amazing man named Burt Albertse. EMS aids in the mind-muscle connection to send a frequency to the central nervous system to contract your muscles 150x more than your brain can do on its own. This gives you 36,000 muscle contractions in each 20-minute strength session and burns 700 calories in each cardio session. 

What made you want to pursue a career in fitness?  Istepped into a Body20 in Ft. Lauderdale and knew from the moment I felt the stimulus that this was my future. I fell in love with the concept, and more than that, my personal results. I was determined to help people achieve similar results and change people’s lives.

What business advice would you give your younger self just starting out?  Looking back on my younger self now, I would tell myself to follow your instincts and learn from other’s mistakes, be humble and patient.

Aside from your new business what do you like to do in your free time?  In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my puppy Kasha, rollerblading and singing karaoke with friends, making memories. I love to work out and be outdoors in any kind of outside activity. Walking on the beach and kayaking are two of my favorite pastimes. 

Attention Dads!! For Father’s Day, sign up for Body20 in June and receive the month of July for free! Body20 also offers a free demo and body assessment to all first timers.

Body20 is located at 1420 3rd Street North in Jacksonville Beach. Check them out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Body20JacksonvilleBeach/.
