Bodify EMS Glute Trainer in Review: A Four-Week Insight

When training, people often set personal goals, such as specifically strengthening the glute area. It’s important to note: Physical changes usually occur over a longer period of time and require patience, regular exercise, and individual adjustments.

While traditional strength or endurance training, such as weight lifting or intense exercises like squats, is often used as a classic method, there are also complementary training methods.

One such method is EMS training. The Bodify glute trainer gives you the opportunity to test this technology as part of your personal workout routine.

In this experience report, we accompany two Bodify users. Birgit (39) and Christin (51) share insights into their use of the Bodify EMS glute trainer and their experiences during a four-week test phase.

The glute muscles are activated through EMS

How does EMS training affect the glute muscles? EMS training uses targeted electrical impulses that can support muscle activity. This is how EMS training for the glutes works.

To use the glute trainer effectively, you should adjust the intensity individually and increase it gradually if needed. Always focus on your personal perception and comfort. “I started my EMS training at the lowest level,” Christin tells us. “That was ideal for me at the beginning because I could gradually get used to the concept. Over time, I felt more confident and ready for the higher levels.”

EMS training involves targeted muscle contractions that can also address deeper muscle layers. In addition to using the device, selecting complementary exercises plays an important role. This allows you to use different training sequences to specifically activate the glute muscles and add variety to your workouts.

Note: Individual experiences with EMS may vary from person to person.

The first sessions with the EMS glute trainer

EMS training offers a method to specifically activate the glute muscles. However, as with conventional training, it is a continuous process. Patience and regular application are therefore essential.

Our testers report on their first sessions with the Bodify glute trainer:
“For me, EMS training was a new approach to my workout routine. I wanted to set a new stimulus and focus on the glute muscles. I quickly found a rhythm and managed to integrate the 25-minute sessions even on busy days,” says Birgit.

“I began to notice changes in body awareness. I also clearly felt the muscle activity during the sessions. At first, it felt a bit unfamiliar, but now it feels normal,” says Christin.

Individual sensations after the first sessions can vary. Factors such as the chosen intensity level, combination with other exercises, and personal training rhythm all play a role. Again, changes usually don't happen overnight.

“Thanks to the simple operation of the EMS trainers, I can flexibly integrate glute training into my daily routine. Short sessions at home or on the go make it easier to stick with it and incorporate movement into my everyday life,” emphasizes Christin.

EMS training as a supplement to your exercise routine

EMS training for the glutes is a complementary method to specifically support muscle activity.

It’s important to give your muscles enough recovery time after each session. A recommended break of one to two days between sessions allows the body to recover from the training stimuli.

“I combined the Bodify glute trainer with other types of movement to create a varied workout plan. It's important to me to have a holistic approach and to integrate different methods.

Thanks to the flexibility of EMS, that’s easy to do, and the glute trainer found its place in my routine,” Birgit tells us after her test phase.

Conclusion: Training your glutes consciously with EMS

In summary: EMS training is a complementary method that can specifically activate the glute muscles through electrical stimulation.

“You don't necessarily need long weight training sessions at the gym to work your glutes. My experience shows that EMS is effective when combined with patience, consistency, and regular use. That’s a solid foundation to integrate the training meaningfully into your personal routine,” emphasizes Birgit.

“I find EMS training to be just right for specifically activating my glute muscles and also increasing my body awareness.”
