Most people feel a difference after their first workout. Changes become visible after a few weeks of training – this depends entirely on the person training. The only important thing is that you train regularly and change your diet at the same time. Then the sequence of events is as follows: first you feel the results. Then you see them. And finally, others will also notice the difference to your body. EMS training at Bionic guarantees the before and after effect!

Yes, absolutely. Because muscle building is the central component of EMS training. An effective muscle buildup requires intensive training and sufficient recovery between training sessions. Because EMS training is so intensive, special emphasis must be placed on regeneration. After all, muscles are not built up during training, but afterwards. Naturally, suitable diet is very important and supports muscle building!

Yes. However, you should know that you must have at least 4-6 weeks of patience (depending on individual body composition / genetics), because everybody builds muscle mass with EMS – and muscle tissue is heavier than fatty tissue. (This means that weight loss is low at first). However, the important thing is not what is the scales say, but what is actually happening in the body. The more muscle mass there is, the greater the basal metabolic rate, the more calories are burned and the easier it is to regulate body weight and mold your figure. Due to the increased basal metabolic rate you burn calories around the clock, even during rest periods. This really brings you a little closer to losing weight literally during your sleep. If you now optimize your diet in parallel, you will definitely lose a lot of weight with EMS training. As little as 500g more muscle mass consumes more than 50 kcal more energy than the same amount of fat during a day at rest. The preservation of muscle mass is therefore of decisive importance when losing weight and provides for a tangible and visible restructuring of the body, which is also worthwhile in the long term.

Can i reduce body fat with EMS Training? Yes, you can reduce body fat with EMS Training! By stimulating muscle contractions, EMS increases muscle mass, which in turn boosts your metabolic rate. This higher metabolism helps your body burn more calories, even at rest. The intensive muscle engagement during EMS workouts also promotes fat loss and improves overall body composition. When combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity, EMS Training can be an effective tool for achieving your weight loss goals. So, it's a great addition to your fitness regimen for reducing body fat! Keep up the good work! 🏋️‍♀️🔥

EMS training can be an effective tool for managing and alleviating back pain. Here's how: Strengthening Core Muscles: EMS targets deep muscle groups, including the core muscles that support the spine. By strengthening these muscles, EMS helps improve posture and reduces the strain on the lower back, which can alleviate pain. Improving Blood Circulation: The electrical impulses used in EMS training stimulate blood flow to the muscles. Enhanced circulation can help reduce inflammation and promote healing in the back muscles. Reducing Muscle Spasms: EMS can help to relieve muscle spasms by causing muscles to contract and relax rhythmically. This can ease tension and reduce pain caused by spasms in the back muscles. Enhancing Muscle Endurance: Regular EMS training can improve the endurance of the back muscles, making them less prone to fatigue and better able to support the spine during daily activities. Pain Relief through Neuromuscular Re-education: EMS can aid in re-educating the muscles to perform correctly, which can help in relieving chronic back pain by correcting muscle imbalances and improving overall muscle function. Promoting Proper Posture: By strengthening the core and back muscles, EMS training can help correct posture, which is often a significant factor in managing back pain. Low-Impact Exercise: EMS provides a low-impact form of exercise that avoids putting additional stress on the joints and spine, making it suitable for individuals with back pain who might find traditional exercises too strenuous. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare professional or physiotherapist before starting EMS training, especially if you have a history of back pain or other medical conditions. They can provide personalized advice and ensure that EMS training is a safe and effective option for your specific situation.

In principle, at least 50 percent of training success depends on the right diet, because a balanced diet is crucial for physical health and fitness. It is therefore worthwhile to eat properly on top of doing the right training.

Scientific data on the actual calorie consumption through whole-body EMS training have only been available briefly. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kemmler from the University of Erlangen has investigated the actual energy consumption of EMS training. Well-trained young men completed a 16-minute EMS strength training session. Kemmler´s results showed 16 minutes = 412 kcal. Converted to a 20-minute EMS Time EMS training session, this results in 515 kcal. Compared to other popular sports that also last 20 minutes, EMS training is well in the lead! The following orientation values apply for 20-minute training: EMS training = 515 kcal Rope jumping (fast) = 300 kcal Climbing = 275 kcal Football = 250 kcal Track and field (hurdles) = 250 kcal Judo = 250 kcal Boxing = 225 kcal Jogging = 210 kcal Handball = 200 kcal Badminton = 175 kcal. Important! Not only the calorie consumption within a training unit is significant. The increased turnover during the regeneration phase, the so-called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), also plays a decisive role in the effectiveness of the training. Due to the increased metabolism and intensity of EMS training, scientists assume an enormously prolonged afterburn effect that lasts up to 48 hours after the EMS training session. Therefore, the above values should be multiplied by 2 or 2.5 respectively. Since women usually have less muscle mass than men, women should multiply the orientation value 515 kcal by 0.75 = 386 kcal during the EMS training session and 772 kcal (386 x 2) including the afterburning effect. Furthermore, it should be noted that in addition to gender, age, and weight are also taken into account in the calculation of energy consumption, depending on the determination method. The higher the weight of the user, the higher the consumption will be. In addition, the metabolic rate usually decreases with age. Furthermore, the higher the selected intensity over a defined period, the more muscles, range of motion, and dynamics (functional exercises) are included, and the higher the energy turnover and thus the calorie consumption should be. Depending on the setting and exercise selection, values higher than 515 kcal are probably possible. Last but not least, a long-term adjustment of muscle metabolism is also decisive for body shaping. A well-developed muscle mass, like an internal combustion engine, can support the body shaping process and metabolize more energy, especially during rest phases without training. Therefore, calorie consumption during training is of limited significance for the actual effect of a training session at EMS Time. Moreover, the influence of nutrition should not be underestimated.

- EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) are both electrical stimulation therapies but serve different purposes. EMS targets muscle contraction to enhance strength, endurance, and muscle tone. TENS, on the other hand, is primarily used for pain relief by stimulating sensory nerves to block pain signals to the brain. While both use electrical impulses, their applications and effects are distinct.

The cost of EMS Training varies depending on the device and the frequency of Personal Trainer sessions. While initial investment in a high-quality EMS device may be higher, it can be more cost-effective over time compared to traditional gym memberships. Additionally, some EMS programs offer package deals that include both the device and a set number of training sessions with a Personal Trainer.

EMS can significantly benefit athletes by enhancing their muscle strength, endurance, and recovery times. The intense muscle contractions induced by EMS can lead to improved performance, reduced muscle fatigue, and a lower risk of injury. Athletes can use EMS as part of their training regimen to target specific muscle groups, increase their overall power output, and expedite recovery after intense physical activity.

As a rule, the following applies: Any healthy person who can also do sports (“fit and active”) can do EMS training. There are the following exceptions: If you suffer when under physical strain, you should only train after consulting your GP. The same applies if you have a pacemaker or a neurological disease, advanced diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, a tumor or tuberculosis. If you have a cold or a bacterial infection, you should at least take a break, as you should for any other sport. If you are pregnant, please wait until a few weeks after giving birth before starting EMS training.

EMS training is nothing more than an external amplifier of the body’s own principle of communicating with the muscles via bioelectric impulses. During training we work with so-called low frequencies, which are harmless for the heart and organs. Therefore: If you are healthy, have no cardiovascular disease and do not have a pacemaker, EMS training is not dangerous for your heart. The EMS pulse reaches neither the heart nor the organs.

Yes, EMS training can help with anxiety! While the direct link between EMS training and anxiety reduction isn't entirely clear, many people find that regular exercise, including EMS training, helps alleviate symptoms of anxiety1. The physical activity involved in EMS training releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, and can help reduce stress and anxiety levels. Additionally, the focus required during EMS sessions can provide a mental distraction, helping to ease anxious thoughts.

Yes. Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that is present in particularly high concentrations in the muscle fibers. It plays an important role as a catalyst in the transfer of energy-rich phosphates to form creatine and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the energy household of muscle cells. After intensive training (e.g. EMS) the CK value rises strongly in order to fall back to the initial value after a training break of several days. (Depending on the type of metabolism, it can sometimes rise very sharply). It is important that the body is sufficiently hydrated, i.e. that enough liquid (e.g. still mineral water) is drunk before and after training. A connection between increased creatine kinase values after intensive EMS training and pathological findings such as kidney failure, heart attack or rhabdomyolysis (muscle tissue decay) cannot be scientifically established. The increase in CK activity is merely an expression of a highly intensive muscular or metabolic load. This is not expected to have any negative consequences. If you have a blood count taken immediately after an EMS workout, please tell the examining physician about your workout so that he can attribute the increased CK blood value accordingly. Experts agree: EMS training makes sense and is completely harmless if you do not overdo it (e.g. once or twice a week) and drink enough fluids.

No. Pacemakers are usually used to monitor or stimulate the patient’s cardiac activity. If there is no own heart rhythm or if the rhythm drops below a certain limit, the pacemaker starts and sends electrical impulses that cause the heart muscle to contract. This is to ensure a regular and faster heartbeat. Some new models adapt the frequencies at which electrical pulses are transmitted to the situation, e.g. to changes such as during running. Some do this even with emotional changes, such as emotional stress. The main difficulty with pacemakers is whether the pacemaker’s detection unit is capable of distinguishing cardiac signals from external sources of interference. Theoretically, if a particular device is prone to interference, a program can be changed or deleted due to the electrical signals; according to many manufacturers, the functioning of the pacemaker may be interrupted during use. In the worst case, threatening asystoles or arrhythmias must be reckoned with. Some experts now assume that modern bipolar pacemakers are hardly affected by external electrical signals, if at all. However, variations between the individual manufacturers and producers cannot be completely excluded. The respective data is inconclusive. If the electrodes are left out locally around the chest area, the risk of influencing the pacemaker by the EMS impulse should most likely be reduced, but it cannot be entirely ruled out. People fitted with pacemakers are therefore generally advised against therapies using electrical impulses. In principle, electronic pacemakers and all electronic implants can be classed as absolute contraindications. This means that we generally do not allow EMS training.
