1. Everything you should know before your first workout
👉 If you have multiple trainers, you can swap the controllers between them. This is no problem, as the controllers recognize each trainer and adjust accordingly.
👉 At first, we recommend starting with one trainer at a time. Once you're used to the training, you can combine your trainers. For example, you can train both legs at the same time.
👉 A muscle group (such as your left upper arm) is best trained 2–3 times per week. That’s absolutely sufficient and gives your muscles enough time to recover.
👉 Your skin should not be sweaty or greasy before use, so avoid applying creams beforehand. Optionally, you can clean your skin with a damp towel.
👉 Your trainer has 15 different intensity levels and runs a 25-minute program. Start with the lower levels (level 1–3). These initial levels are very gentle to help you gradually get used to the EMS impulses.
⚠️ After training, simply attach the stencil to the back of your trainer to protect the gel pads from dust.
2. Loading the controller
The controller has a built-in, rechargeable battery. You can easily charge the controller using the included USB-C cable. The controller does not need to be opened for charging!
The controller is charging properly when the LED lights up. Once the LED turns blue, your controller is fully charged. A full charging cycle takes about 2–3 hours. Do not leave the trainer plugged in longer than necessary, as this may negatively affect battery performance.

3. Using the controller
⚫️ Off – Your trainer is turned off and not active.
🔵 Blue – The trainer is active and running the training program.
🔵 Blinking blue – Your trainer is on but does not detect skin contact. It will automatically switch off after 30 seconds.
🟢 Green – The massage function is active.
🟢 Blinking green – Your trainer is on but does not detect skin contact. It will automatically switch off after 30 seconds.
🔴 Red – The battery is empty and the trainer needs to be charged. Or your trainer is currently connected to power and charging.
4. The right attachment
Position the trainer as described in the user manual. Here are a few examples.
Video: Abdominal trainer
Position the trainer so that the controller is centered above your navel. The trainer should cover your abdominal muscles well.
Video: Arm & leg trainer
Position the trainer so that the pad is centered on your upper arm. For leg training, the pad should be positioned in the middle of your thigh.
Video: Hip trainer
Position the trainer so that the trainer is centered on your butt. It is advisable to use a mirror for the first attachment.
5. Training procedure
Once you have correctly attached your trainer and are ready to begin, you can activate the controller. After activation, the LED will light up blue and the stimulation program will start at the first level.
⚠️ The trainer always starts at level one after being switched on.
The program is not static but follows a specific sequence to optimally stimulate your muscles.
👉 You can perform your training either actively or passively. For more information, see section 7.
6. Cleaning & changing the pads
To ensure your gel pads last as long as possible, we recommend cleaning them regularly. First, remove the controller from the pad and rinse the pad under lukewarm water.
Let the pad air dry. Once dry, attach it to the provided stencil to protect it from dust and dirt.
⚠️ Do not use cloths or soap. Make sure the controller stays dry and does not get wet.
Replacing the pads:
Your pads usually last about 2 months with the recommended use (2–3 training sessions per week). To replace your pad, remove the controller from the old pad and attach it to the new one. Used pads can be disposed of easily.
The pads no longer stick – what can I do?
The pads wear out over time. How long they last depends on various factors (skin type, care, frequency of use). If your pads no longer stick well, we recommend replacing them.
👉 Tip – How to improve adhesion:
Before use, you can lightly moisten the corresponding skin area with water. This helps the pads stick better to your skin. This tip is also recommended for customers with very dry skin.
7. Support straps for your trainers (optional)
Especially if you want to make your training more active, we recommend our additional support straps for even better stability.
👉 This allows you to securely fasten your abdominal trainer or arm & leg trainer. This usually also extends the lifespan of the pads significantly.
8. Active and passive training
In general, you can choose to train actively or passively. We usually recommend a combination of both. How you design your active training is entirely up to you. You are free to move during the session or combine your training with additional exercises. For example, you can even go jogging with your trainer. Training can also be easily integrated into your daily routine.
Here you’ll find a selection of exercises you can perform during an active EMS training session. This allows you to target additional muscle groups alongside your EMS training.
👉 You can of course adjust the number of repetitions to fit your needs and progress.
⚠️ It’s best to start with the training videos once you’ve gotten used to EMS training.
9. Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use multiple trainers at the same time?
Start with one trainer at a time to get used to the training. Once you're familiar with EMS training, you can combine different trainers.
How often should I train?
Studies show that regular EMS training activates the muscles. Ideally, you should train a muscle group 2–3 times per week. Breaks are just as important as the training itself, as they allow your muscles to recover.
What intensity should I use and when should I increase it?
You should increase the intensity slowly—start with levels 1–3. This helps you get used to the training and gradually increase the intensity. In general: always choose a level you feel comfortable with.
The pads no longer stick—what can I do?
Read the section “Tips for Use and Care.” It’s normal for the pads to lose their stickiness over time. In that case, it’s time to get new ones.
I think something is wrong with my trainer—what should I do?
Contact our customer support. We’re happy to help and will find a quick and easy solution for you.
Can I use my trainer on a different body area?
No, the trainers are designed for specific areas and should not be used differently than indicated.
Should I train if I’m not feeling well?
No, it’s better to take a break and recover.
The LED doesn’t light up while charging?
Check whether you’re using a fast-charging adapter. Also, take another look at section 2 (Charging). If the issue persists, please contact us.
I feel an unpleasant sensation under the pads.
The gel pads may be worn out and should be replaced. Skin contact between the pads and your skin might not be optimal—try lightly moistening your skin before use. If you’ve already completed many training sessions, give your muscles a break for a few days. If the discomfort continues, please contact our customer support.
The contractions are weak even at higher levels?
Make sure you’re using your trainer correctly. Possible causes: – The pads are not properly attached or positioned. – The gel pads are worn out – replace them. – Skin contact is too weak – lightly moisten your skin.
