A PERSONAL REQUEST
Help me save my Queen
Finally a diagnosis – and new hope
Queen is my little French bulldog, just four years old – and by my side around the clock. Since May, Queen's bone marrow has barely been producing red blood cells. Without regular blood transfusions she would not survive. After months of uncertainty, the University Animal Hospital Zurich finally found the cause in early October: an immune-mediated pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). Her own immune system attacks the precursor cells of the red blood cells. In addition, the bone marrow is scarring: connective tissue is taking the place of the blood-forming cells.
Read the full story +
Since 9 October, a new therapy has been slowing down the misguided immune system and is also meant to stop the scarring. This allows the bone marrow to recover and produce more red blood cells again. If this succeeds and Queen remains stable, the medication can be stopped in the longer term. To start, Queen received a full-day infusion of antibodies from human donor blood (IVIG). It calms the immune system precisely where it blocks blood formation. The aim is for Queen to produce more red blood cells on her own again and to depend less on transfusions. The infusion has given her a new lease of life: Queen has her old energy back. I truly hope this is the breakthrough. It takes two to three months for the therapy to take full effect – until then, Queen still needs transfusions, check-ups and medication.
I cannot carry these costs alone. More than 130 people have already helped Queen – and I am deeply grateful for that. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to the goal. And if you can't donate right now: sharing helps more than you might think.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts – Rolf & Queen
EMS training takes you further, faster than conventional training!
With EMS you achieve fast fat loss, intensive muscle building, a quick boost in endurance and relief from back pain – all in a short time.

EMS Fitness Zurich is the most advanced EMS studio in Zurich – with an approach that goes far beyond conventional EMS training.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) activates up to 85% of all muscle fibres simultaneously in 20 minutes – more than twice as many as classic strength training. The result: faster muscle building, effective fat loss and lasting relief from back pain – with just 1–2 sessions per week.
What sets us apart from other EMS studios in Zurich: we take a holistic approach. Training alone is not enough. That's why we combine EMS training with individual metabolic analysis, nutrition coaching and performance diagnostics – for results that truly convince and last.
Who is EMS training great for?
- People who have little time but still want a complete strength and endurance programme
- People who don't enjoy classic strength training
- Women who want to train their glutes and legs intensively, without having to handle heavy weights
- People who have hit a plateau in classic strength training and want to take the next step
- People who want to combine classic strength training with EMS to achieve the strongest possible stimulus
- People who don't just want to train, but also want expert advice and support with metabolism, nutrition, and correct endurance training – with the focus on fat loss, muscle building or performance
- Older adults who want to counter muscle loss and improve their fitness without having to lift heavy weights
- People who suffer from back pain or joint pain and want relief
- People who want to massively increase their performance and endurance
- People who want to experience the most intense training, for example in combination with altitude training

Training, metabolism and nutrition form one unit for long-term success. If these elements don't work together, you can train as hard as you like and still see no results.
Our team accompanies you on your journey with all our heart and genuine care – your well-being and your goals come first for us.
With us you don't just train – we analyse all the factors that have so far held back your goals for fat loss or muscle building.
You learn to understand what your body really needs to transform completely and lastingly.
We accompany you with our extensive expertise on your journey to a new you.
Metabolic analysis
Metabolism is the decisive factor for both fat loss and muscle building. With a metabolic analysis we identify all the factors that have stood in the way of your goal so far. We show you strategies to activate your metabolism and burn fat instead of muscle.

Nutrition coaching
Nutrition that suits your metabolism is the key to lasting success. We analyse your diet and what it means for your metabolism. Then we show you everything it takes for your metabolism to work again and fully support you in losing weight or building muscle.
Learn more →
Performance diagnostics
We determine the heart-rate zone in which you burn the most fat. We also determine your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. Based on these values, we show you how to train endurance effectively to reach your goals. Because if you get this wrong, you lose muscle instead of fat.

Progress checks
With regular body measurements we check whether training, metabolism and nutrition are delivering the results you want. If you plateau or slip back, we get to the bottom of it – because old habits usually creep back in without you noticing.
IHHT cell training
IHHT is a very successful method to activate your metabolism. IHHT rejuvenates your cells and produces new, efficient mitochondria that generate more energy. Your performance increases and losing weight becomes effortless again.

Fast fat loss with EMS training
EMS – weight loss made easy! Electrical muscle stimulation, training with electrical impulses, is intense, effective and time-saving. Sessions are short and replace hours of training in conventional gyms. The impulses cause an intense contraction of all muscle groups and strongly activate the metabolism. Energy expenditure is therefore significantly higher than with classic training. Combined with nutrition that suits your metabolism, the EMS method delivers fast results. In short: EMS makes the pounds drop – fast.
Intensive muscle building with EMS training
EMS training is the most effective way to build muscle in a short time. In just 10 minutes you achieve more intense muscle contractions than with hours of training at the gym. Every impulse trains both the large muscle groups and the deep muscles. The strong stimulus hugely boosts muscle growth. Combined with nutrition that suits your metabolism and focuses on muscle building, you can build muscle quickly. Our expert team advises and supports you in every respect, so you understand what it takes to get into top shape with little effort.
EMS training relieves back pain
EMS training originates from physiotherapy and is an effective way to build up the back muscles and thus relieve the spine. EMS specifically strengthens the deep muscles as well. With the special metabolic programme, muscle tension can also be released in a targeted way. After just a few sessions you'll notice a beneficial difference.
NEW: Step into a new dimension of training
The combination of altitude training (IHHT), EMS and endurance training is not just a series of training methods, but a holistic strategy that triggers profound physiological adaptations in your body. It is the key to phenomenal muscle building, efficient fat loss, unrivalled endurance and faster recovery. Forget the limits of traditional training and discover your true potential with us. Experience your body responding in ways you never dreamed of.
“EMS training on its own is already special, but EMS with altitude training is absolutely mind-blowing. The most intense training I have ever experienced.”
— Marco
The benefits of EMS training
Time-saving training
10–20 minutes of strength training with EMS replaces hours of training at the gym. Thanks to this enormous time saving, there's no longer any reason to skip fitness training for your health and well-being.
More muscle contractions
With EMS you achieve more muscle contractions in less time and activate up to 85% of all muscle fibres – more than twice as many as with classic strength training. The best part: EMS always trains the deep muscles too.
Higher calorie burn
With EMS training you burn more calories than with conventional training. Strength and endurance training with EMS always activates all muscles at the same time and therefore uses more energy.
Long afterburn effect
EMS training activates the metabolism and burns more calories for up to 72 hours. The body also forms more mitochondria, increasing muscle performance.
Optimal support
We give you what you don't get at a conventional gym: optimal support. Only when training, metabolism and nutrition fit together does fat loss or muscle building work!
Metabolism makes the difference
You can only burn fat or build muscle if your metabolism plays along. We measure your metabolism and show you what to do so it doesn't stand in the way of your goal.
Nutrition coaching
Nutrition that suits your metabolism is crucial for long-term success. Diets or mindlessly gulping protein rarely bring results. We show you what really matters so your metabolism plays along.
Performance diagnostics
Endurance training – done right! Many people train wrongly and burn muscle instead of fat. With our performance diagnostics we show you how to burn the most fat and which strategy it takes to increase your performance.
EMS training put to the test
Tobias Müller from the Swiss TV show Einstein tested EMS training. Already a very fit athlete who trains 3 × 1 hour per week, he got even more out of his body with 2 EMS sessions of 20 minutes per week:
- Weight: + 1.4 kg
- Body fat: -7%
- Muscle mass +4%
- Strength: + 6%
Considering that he had lost muscle mass during the initial familiarisation phase with one EMS session per week, this success with 2 sessions per week is remarkable. And all this with a time saving of 80% compared with his conventional training (40 minutes of training per week instead of 3 hours).
Unfortunately, there are always traditionally minded experts who don't think much of EMS training and have a negative view of it. However, many studies show that EMS training delivers equal or even better results than traditional training – in a fraction of the time. EMS has also become established as a rehabilitation method for back pain. Bear in mind, though, that everyone has different starting conditions. Besides training, metabolism and nutrition must also be right to achieve real success.
Success stories
Beat: −11.5 kg of fat in 3 months
Beat (name changed) came to me because he had gained a lot of fat and wanted to lose it. He thought that training with EMS would quickly reduce the fat. Unfortunately, training alone doesn't do it, and I explained to him that his metabolism has to be in line with his goal and his nutrition has to be right.
For two weeks he tried it without metabolic testing and without nutrition coaching – and lost muscle mass instead of fat. After 2 weeks he switched to the full programme: metabolic testing, performance diagnostics and regular nutrition coaching sessions.
After 3 months he had reduced his body fat from 23% to 10.5% and lost a total of 11.5 kg of fat.
In the meantime, we have adjusted his nutrition so we can focus on muscle building. The goal is to build about 6 kg of muscle without increasing his body fat.
Conclusion
Training alone may not make a difference. But the combination of training with metabolic testing and nutrition coaching achieved great results in a short time.

With us you don't just train strength – we always train endurance too. So you have a complete training programme for your well-being and health. You always have a one-hour window at your disposal. Strength training takes a set 10–20 minutes, and you can use the rest of the time to train your endurance.
Unlike other studios, we go one step further. We know that training is only part of success, whether you want to lose fat or build muscle. The subject is very complex. That's why we invest a lot of time in professional, expert advice so you understand what your body actually needs to support your goal. Only a holistic approach brings long-term results.
We analyse your current situation through measuring your metabolism and performance diagnostics. Our nutrition advice and coaching is designed to bring your metabolism back to where losing fat in the long term is effortless and muscle building really works. Our training is based on your performance diagnostics, so you know how to train to lose fat instead of burning muscle, while increasing your performance at the same time.
No ordinary gym can give you all this – unless you book a private coach with broad and deep expertise in sport, metabolism and nutrition. We stand out from the crowd and bring all our expertise to the table.
EMS Fitness Zurich offers so much more…
1 hour of training
You always have a one-hour window for your training. Your strength training is set for you, but you can also train endurance. No other studio offers you this.
Strength training with EMS
Depending on your fitness level, your strength training with EMS takes 10–20 minutes. Advanced trainees can combine dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, cable machine or TRX with EMS.
Endurance training with EMS
Because a full hour is reserved for you, you can also train your endurance with EMS. You burn around 3× more calories than with conventional training.
Metabolic analysis
The success of every workout depends on your metabolism. With us you can not only have your metabolism measured, but also learn what to do to burn fat and/or build muscle.
Nutrition coaching
Through nutrition you influence your metabolism and thus your body's ability to burn fat and/or build muscle. That's why metabolism and nutrition coaching are a central element of our training philosophy.
Performance diagnostics
Performance diagnostics tell you in which zone to train to activate maximum fat burning or increase your performance. Many people get a lot wrong here and simply train without a plan. With the diagnostics you're one step ahead, because every workout now leads to results.
IHHT cell training
IHHT training is the ultimate experience. You activate your fat metabolism and burn many times more fat than with training alone. The performance of your cells and your body increases significantly and your body recovers faster. IHHT rejuvenates your cells and gives you a new sense of well-being.

EMS training FAQ
What is EMS training?
+
EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) is a training method in which electrical impulses stimulate the muscles. Just 10 minutes of EMS replace 90 minutes of classic strength training.
Who is EMS training suitable for?
+
EMS training (electrical muscle stimulation) is a state-of-the-art training method that adapts flexibly to all kinds of life stages and goals. At our studio, the training is particularly valuable for:
Time optimisers
If your daily life leaves little room for hour-long workouts, EMS is the solution. Because all major muscle groups are activated at the same time, we achieve in just 20 minutes per week effects that would take significantly more time at a conventional gym.
Performance fans & athletes
Already training regularly but stuck on a plateau? With its deep-acting impulses, EMS sets new stimuli that are often hard to achieve with conventional training. If needed, we integrate classic exercise elements to specifically increase your strength and power.
Science- & health-minded people
For everyone who's tired of standard plans: we offer training based on scientific principles. Through performance diagnostics, metabolic analyses and sound nutrition advice, we tailor your EMS programme precisely to your individual biology.
Best agers & seniors
To effectively counter natural age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), EMS is ideal. It is extremely gentle on the joints and strengthens the supporting muscles and deep stability. This serves active fall prevention and provides more confidence and vitality in everyday life.
Focus on the core (pelvic floor)
EMS is a highly effective way to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles – whether for postnatal recovery or for general strengthening of this often hard-to-activate muscle group.
People looking for a gym alternative
Not everyone feels comfortable in a conventional gym. If you're not a fan of weight-heavy strength training in big halls, EMS offers you a private, professionally supervised setting with a completely new body feeling and maximum support.
Whatever your goal: we combine state-of-the-art technology with personal advice that starts exactly where you are right now.
How often do I need to train to see results?
+
EMS training is a revolutionary training method that delivers fast, visible results. Thanks to the intense stimulus and the high demand on the muscles, with just one EMS session per week you achieve more than at a conventional gym. If you are advanced, you can also train with EMS up to twice a week . However, you need at least 48–72 hours of rest before your next EMS session. EMS training is ideal for anyone who wants to improve their fitness quickly and effectively. Remember: 10 minutes of strength training with EMS equals 1.5 hours of training in a conventional gym.
How quickly do you see results with EMS?
+
First visible results appear after 4–6 weeks. Case studies show up to −11.5 kg of fat in 3 months with combined training, metabolic and nutrition coaching.
How long does an EMS training session take?
+
A strength training session with EMS usually takes between 10 and 20 minutes. This short training time is due to the high intensity of the training, in which all muscles are stimulated at the same time. With us, however, you also have the option of using EMS to additionally train your endurance. Because during endurance training all your muscles are stimulated, 20 to 30 minutes of training burn many times more calories than hours of endurance training at the gym. What matters, though, is that you train in the right heart-rate zone, which we determine with performance diagnostics.
Can I combine EMS with my regular gym membership?
+
EMS training is a much more intense training method than conventional gym training. Electrical muscle stimulation makes the muscles work significantly harder. That's why the muscles need more time to recover and build up after EMS training. It's important to give them the time they need to recover in order to avoid injury and overload. As long as you have sore muscles, no further strength training is advisable. We usually recommend that clients train their endurance additionally at a regular gym rather than doing another strength workout.
Is EMS training dangerous?
+
EMS training as such is not dangerous, as long as it takes place under expert guidance and you have no health restrictions. The individually set impulse intensities should be carefully adjusted to your personal physical condition to avoid injury and overload. In EMS training it's important to increase the intensity only gradually so the body can adapt without problems. Anyone who trains with a reputable provider and listens to their body can use EMS training safely to build muscle and reduce body fat effectively and in a targeted way.
How much does EMS training cost in Zurich?
+
EMS memberships at EMS Fitness Zurich start from CHF 700 for a 20-session pass (valid for 12 months). A trial session can be booked at any time. The more sessions you book, the cheaper it gets.
What are the contraindications for EMS training?
+
- Pacemaker or other electrical implants
- Pregnancy from the 3rd month
- Age under 18
- Acute inflammatory diseases
- Stents or bypass (less than 6 months ago)
- Neurological disorders (epilepsy, spastic spinal paralysis)
- Advanced arteriosclerosis
- Arterial circulatory disorders
- Thrombosis, thrombophlebitis
- Grade 3 hypertension
- Fresh wounds
- Recent surgery
- Bleeding tendency / haemophilia
Is EMS training in Zurich affordable?
+
EMS Fitness Zurich offers the best-value EMS training in the city, with memberships from as little as CHF 25 per session (based on the 80-session pass) – significantly cheaper than personal training. You always have a 60-minute window in which you can train endurance in addition to strength training with EMS.
Do you also train with weights?
+
In EMS training you usually don't need weights, which is why the training is extremely gentle on the joints. The electrical impulses delivered to the body through the training suit ensure effective muscle stimulation. The training is tailored to the individual needs of each trainee, and the impulse intensity can be varied according to fitness level. However, if you are advanced and want to optimise your muscle building even further, we're happy to integrate light weights into your EMS training. Available are dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, TRX and the cable machine . In general, however, no additional weight is needed in EMS training to build muscle effectively, and the training is also extremely gentle on the joints.
