EMS means “electrical muscle stimulation”. Electrical impulses are used to stimulate muscle contractions and enhance the effects of the training.

Yes, EMS training is extremely effective and, when done regularly, increases muscle strength and endurance, builds muscle mass, and reduces body fat. It’s also easy on the joints, making it suitable for people who are looking for an alternative to conventional strength training.

EMS training simultaneously gives all the large muscle groups an intensive workout, which conventional methods often only achieve in isolation. It also saves time, as one session only takes 20 minutes, and the electrical stimulation means visible results can be achieved more quickly. It’s also particularly easy on the joints, making it suitable for people with joint problems.

Yes, EMS training supports fat loss as it increases muscle mass, which in turn raises the basal metabolic rate, and the activation of the muscles burns more energy. All this means that regular EMS training is a valuable part of a holistic weight-loss programme.

EMS isn’t suitable for everyone. People with pacemakers, epilepsy, or serious cardiovascular diseases shouldn’t attempt it. Pregnant women or people with acute infections and skin problems at the contact points should also avoid this type of training. If in doubt, it’s advisable to consult your doctor.

EMS training begins with a short warm-up. You then put on a special electrode suit, which sends electrical impulses to your muscles. The trainer guides you through the exercises and controls the intensity of the impulses individually so that the training is both safe and effective. A session lasts around 20 minutes.

As EMS is highly intensive, one session per week is often enough to achieve visible results. People with more experience can also do two sessions per week, but they should still take at least two to three days off between sessions.

The first results can often be felt after just four to six sessions. Many people feel better in their body and notice increased muscle firmness after just a few weeks.

EMS training requires special functional clothing that provides optimum skin contact for the electrodes. You can hire these from us here at Hotel Klosterbräu. It’s best to wear close-fitting sportswear underneath.
