What are the most frequently asked questions?

• Why is the workout only 20 minutes long?

  Electrical muscle stimulation is much more effective than traditional exercise. Thanks to a better distribution and greater depth of muscle function, it achieves results in a much shorter period of time.

• How much time will I save as opposed to a gym workout?

  Due to the increased function of your muscle mass, the recommended exercise frequency is 1-2x a week for 20 minutes. To achieve similar results, you would need to spend around 5 hours a week at the gym.

• Is electrical muscle stimulation safe?

  BodyBody workouts use low voltage current – the same that is used for physical therapy. Exercise is founded only on the increased effectiveness of completely natural muscle contractions.

• What are the expert opinions of electrical muscle stimulation?

  The effectiveness of EMS exercise has been proven by a number of scientific studies at prestigious schools (Bayreuth 2002-2003, Erlangen-Nürnberg 2009, Sportschüle Köln 2008) and sports clinics (Bad Oeynhausen 2010).

• How can BodyBody help me?

  BodyBody achieves a high level of effectiveness with overall strengthening exercises, as well as focused exercises for individual (and problematic) areas. Unlike classic workouts, it does not put stress on the joints, tendons, and ligaments.

• When will I see results?

  Initial results are typically seen after 6 weeks. Women will experience a decrease in the volume of problem areas (hips, thighs, waist), and men will experience a smaller waistline and increased muscle growth.

• What kind of equipment does BodyBody use during the workout?

  BodyBody uses the technology of the German company Miha Bodytec, which is a pioneer in the field of EMS fitness. EMS technology can be found in over 400 studios in Germany, and more worldwide.

• What does the EMS device look like?

  The EMS workout device is connected to a vest with integrated electrodes that are able to activate 90% of the complete muscle group during a single exercise. The vest is comfortable and allows for freedom of movement.

• Are there any restrictions to EMS exercise?

  Any healthy individual can exercise with EMS technology. However, for certain health issues, we recommend consulting a doctor first. BodyBody exercise without doctor's approval is not recommended for the following conditions:

  • pregnancy
  • individuals with pacemakers
  • illness accompanied by fever
  • acute bacterial or viral infections
  • diabetes
  • increased bleeding (Haemophilia)
  • tumour disorders, and certain other ailments

  Your personal trainer will discuss all of these issues with you during your first visit.

• Can I train at BodyBody following surgery or injury?

  BodyBody can even speed muscle recovery following surgery. Additionally, it does not put stress on joints, tendons, or ligaments. However, we recommend you consult with your doctor first.
