No! Users may be surprised by the new sensation at first, but it is not painful. It is a pulsating through your thigh that encourages your muscles to contract and relax, contract and relax. It may feel unusual to you at first, which is why it's important to take it at your own pace.
You are in full control of the intensity levels and can scale up or down at any time throughout your workout to get used to the new feeling. Use your new BionicGym slowly at the level that feels manageable to you and slowly increase your intensity from there.
If you are experiencing any discomfort, pause your workout and readjust your gel pads to ensure they are placed in the midline of your thighs before continuing, and not too high.
We also recommend not shaving your legs in this spot, as the skin around your thigh is a tender area.
