Bodify EMS Guide (Max Series) | User Manual
For anyone looking to discover EMS training, this guide provides plenty of information about training with Bodify.
Everything you need to know before your first session
👉 Familiarize yourself with the user manual. It contains all the essential information for your training.
👉 The controller also serves as the battery and should be charged before first use. The trainer can only be charged with the included USB-C cable, and a standard USB adapter should be used.
👉 Your trainer has 15 intensity levels and runs a 15-25 minute program. Start with the lower levels (Level 1-3). These initial levels are gentle, allowing you to gradually get used to the EMS impulses.
👉 Your trainer detects skin contact and automatically starts at Level 1 after being turned on. If no skin contact is detected, the controller blinks blue and switches off after about 30 seconds. Additionally, a warning symbol is displayed.
👉 Unsure or have questions? Feel free to contact us: hallo@bodify.me.

Different Training Programs
With various training programs, you can keep your sessions diverse. Once your trainer is activated and placed on your skin, you can use the “M” button to switch between programs. The LED color indicates the active program. Note: Changing the program during a session resets the intensity to Level 1.

Training Flow
After properly attaching your trainer and preparing for your session, activate the controller. Once activated, the LED lights up blue (first training program), and the stimulation program runs at Level 1. The trainer always starts at Level 1 after being turned on.
The program is not static but follows a specific sequence to optimally stimulate your muscles.
Active and Passive Training
You can conduct your training actively or passively. We often recommend a combination of both. How you design your active training is entirely up to you. You can move freely during the session or complement it with additional exercises. For instance, you can go walking or strolling with your trainer. Training can often be integrated into daily life.
Here’s a selection of exercises you can perform during active EMS training. This allows you to train additional muscle groups alongside your EMS session. You can adjust the number of repetitions to your needs and progress.
