Why Choose BODYTEC?
During EMS training up to 90% of your muscles are activated simultaneously with each contraction.
Our SYMBIONT Smart Training System tracks live body metrics such as pulse, calories burned, heart rate variability and muscle activation throughout your training session in your personal Tec Suit. This innovation allows you to Track, Train and Transform your results.
You only need to train once a week so your training fee could cost you less than personal training sessions at a conventional gym.
BODYTEC has studios nationwide and you can train at any of them when travelling. Our National membership is FREE and convenient. No more excuses to interrupt your training routine due to travel.
All our training sessions are supervised by a qualified BODYTEC personal trainer who will assist you in reaching your physical goals. Progress measurements and nutritional advice are also available.
EMS Training
At BODYTEC our focus is full-body strength training by stimulating high-intensity muscle contractions of 10 seconds, followed by 5 seconds rest, using the medically certified SYMBIONT Smart Training System. EMS training allows up to 90% of muscles to be activated simultaneously, with the contractions reaching a much higher intensity than those done voluntarily. These impulses are combined with traditional low-impact exercises for an intense full-body workout.

For those of you who haven’t heard about it before, EMS training is a form of muscle stimulation using electric impulses that trigger various reactions in your body. The most common reaction is an intense and strong muscle contraction. At BODYTEC our focus is full-body strength training by stimulating high-intensity muscle contractions of 10 seconds, followed by 5 seconds rest, using the medically certified SYMBIONT Smart Training System. EMS training allows up to 90% of muscles to be activated simultaneously, with the contractions reaching a much higher intensity than those done voluntarily. These impulses are combined with traditional low-impact exercises for an intense full-body workout.
Yes, EMS training imitates the natural principle of muscle contraction, which is a result of the interaction between the brain, the central nervous system and muscle tissue. BODYTEC uses a low-frequency stimulus to activate intense muscle contractions and your personal trainer will ensure that your individual training levels are an optimum fit for you. In comparison to other strength training, EMS training is known to be particularly gentle on joints.
We exclusively use the medically certified SYMBIONT Smart Training System from Germany.
However, certain medical conditions are known to be contraindications EMS training with BODYTEC is not recommended for the following conditions: (1) pregnancy; (2) pacemaker or other electrical implants; (3) acute illness, such as fever, viral infections or acute inflammatory processes. Medical consent may be necessary for some physical conditions. These should be discussed with your personal trainer before any training commences.
