You can easily choose the right size for your PEPPER EMS suit on our website. Use our size calculator to find your perfect size so that the PEPPER EMS suit fits optimally.
It’s important that your PEPPER EMS suit fits close to the body so the EMS impulses can be transmitted perfectly – while still being comfortable. As the elastic material adapts increasingly to your body over time, the suit usually fits even better after a few sessions. If any area feels a little too loose at first, you can adjust it with the included strap to achieve a perfect fit.
If you are between two sizes, you can use our size calculator on the website to determine your ideal size. Then simply select the size that is recommended for you there.
We recommend not wearing additional clothing underneath the PEPPER EMS suit. For the electrodes to work optimally, they should be in direct contact with your skin.
The zipper of the PEPPER EMS suit is on the back and can easily be closed with the cord. The end of the cord is magnetic and can be comfortably attached on the back. Make sure the electrodes are positioned correctly over your muscles. The PEPPER battery is attached on the right side of the suit and secured with the strap.
The material of your PEPPER EMS suit consists of 68% nylon and 32% spandex. It can be machine washed at 30 °C using a regular detergent (without fabric softener).
Caring for your PEPPER EMS suit is simple: you can wash it at 30 °C with regular detergent (without fabric softener). Please make sure to remove the PEPPER battery before washing and do not tumble dry the PEPPER EMS suit. Instead, let it air dry.
The washability of the PEPPER EMS suit has been extensively tested: in tests with over 150 wash cycles, the material showed no signs of wear.
- Trial phase: The trial period for your PEPPER EMS suit starts on the day of delivery and runs for 30 days.
- Battery protection: Please leave the protective film on the PEPPER battery for the entire trial period to avoid scratches or other damage.
- Register a return: If you would like to return the product, send us an email within the 30 days to [email protected] and let us know the reason for the return.
- Return shipment: After our confirmation, you can send the PEPPER EMS suit back to us following our instructions.
After receipt and successful inspection, the refund will be issued within 3 business days via the payment method you used.
We do not recommend sharing your PEPPER EMS suit, as it should fit perfectly and you shouldn’t wear a size that doesn’t fit you properly. If you want to train together, you can easily purchase a second PEPPER EMS suit in our online shop and share one battery.
When you buy a PEPPER EMS suit, you also receive practical straps that allow you to individually tighten any areas of the PEPPER EMS suit that might feel slightly loose. For EMS training, you additionally need the PEPPER battery.
That’s why we recommend purchasing everything together in the practical Starter Bundle – it even includes the first 3 months of the PEPPER EMS App for free.
- If your PEPPER EMS suit doesn’t work, first check the PEPPER battery. If the light doesn’t turn on, fully charge it with the charging cable. Always disconnect the PEPPER battery from the PEPPER EMS suit before plugging it in.
- Check whether the PEPPER EMS App is connected to the PEPPER EMS suit. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone or tablet and go to the suit settings in the PEPPER EMS App.
- Check whether the PEPPER battery is correctly placed on the side of your PEPPER EMS suit.
- Always warm up your body or moisten the electrodes before putting on the PEPPER suit, as the impulses are transmitted best with a bit of moisture.
If none of this helps, please contact our PEPPER team at [email protected].
The intensity of the PEPPER EMS suit can be flexibly adjusted between 0 and 100% according to your preferred strength. You have full control over the intensity settings to tailor your EMS training to your needs.
The difference between the PEPPER EMS suit and studio suits is not in the impulse quality, but in the design and functionality:
In EMS studios, the suit is connected to a device via cables to transmit the electrical impulses, which limits your freedom of movement. The suit also needs to be moistened before use. In contrast, the PEPPER EMS suit does not need to be moistened and is powered by a lightweight battery, making it completely wireless and giving you full freedom of movement during EMS training.
Yes, the PEPPER EMS suit offers the same intensity as in a studio, including the most frequently tested settings in the scientific literature (between 15 and 100 Hz and a pulse width of 160 to 490 µs).
If the electrical impulses feel uncomfortable, try moistening the electrodes of the PEPPER EMS suit with water or extending your warm-up phase. The transmission of impulses from the electrodes works best with some moisture. Also try carefully decreasing and then increasing the intensity to find the right level for you. Start with one body area at a time.
The intensity of your PEPPER EMS suit can change due to sweat or skin moisture, as this increases conductivity. In this case, you can simply reduce the intensity to a more comfortable level. Alternatively, extend your warm-up or moisten the areas of skin under the electrodes or the electrodes themselves before training. The difference in intensity will be much smaller if you set your initial intensity with pre-moistened skin. In addition, your body gets used to the intensity over time. As you train with PEPPER for longer, you can gradually increase your intensity to make the EMS training more challenging and continuously stimulate your muscles to grow.
If you feel the impulse of your PEPPER EMS suit more strongly on one side, pause the impulse and check the position of the electrodes. If the electrodes are not placed directly over your muscles, the intensity can feel different.
The impulse intensity can feel different depending on your health status or performance level. Depending on your condition and the time of day, your skin may be drier on some days. If this is the case, extend your warm-up or slightly moisten your skin before putting on the PEPPER EMS suit.
Whether the PEPPER EMS suit helps you lose weight depends on several factors. EMS can support weight loss by increasing muscle activity and metabolism in the body. EMS training may also help promote blood circulation. These effects can support weight reduction. However, it is recommended to combine EMS with a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise, as EMS training alone cannot replace an overall healthy lifestyle.
If your PEPPER EMS suit doesn’t fit, please send an email within 30 days of the purchase date to [email protected].

With PEPPER, you can train with different frequencies depending on the mode, as the PEPPER EMS suit offers three modes: Strength, Cardio and Relaxation.
Strength: As your body first needs to get used to the impulse intensity, we recommend starting with a strength workout of a maximum of 25 minutes per week in the first month. Once you are used to the electrical impulses during EMS training, you can gradually train several times a week and increase the intensity step by step.
Cardio and Relax: As the impulse intensity is lower here, these sessions can be done more frequently. We recommend increasing the training slowly and giving your body time to adjust to this new form of training.
You can train with PEPPER anywhere – at home, at the gym, outdoors, on your spinning bike or even on the tennis court.
The PEPPER EMS App offers a wide variety of strength, yoga and cardio workout videos and enables highly effective full-body training with EMS, where all muscles are always activated. Some workouts place a special focus on certain muscle groups. You can also train without videos and design your own workout. For inspiration: PEPPER can be integrated into sports such as tennis, jogging, boxing or cycling.
With PEPPER, you usually see the first results after about 4 to 6 weeks. Get the most out of your PEPPER experience by training regularly and challenging yourself. To keep motivation high, you can also create a training plan in our PEPPER EMS App.
With PEPPER, you can test your PEPPER EMS suit at home for 30 days without worries – significantly longer than the statutory 14-day withdrawal period. This gives you enough time to see whether the PEPPER EMS suit meets your expectations.
Please note that the protective film on the PEPPER battery must remain in place throughout the trial period to avoid signs of use.
If you are not completely satisfied, you can register a return within 30 days from the order date. If it doesn’t meet your expectations or doesn’t fit, send us an email within 30 days from the order date to [email protected]. After we receive your return, the refund will usually be processed within about 3 days via the payment method you selected.
The key difference between an EMS studio and the PEPPER EMS suit with the PEPPER EMS App is the flexibility, versatility and independence of your training. Regular EMS training with PEPPER is also more cost-effective than in a studio.
In an EMS studio, you wear a suit that has to be moistened with water before training. The suit is connected to a device via cables that control the electrical impulses, which can restrict your freedom of movement during your workout. A personal trainer guides the session, adjusts the frequency and intensity of the impulses and demonstrates the exercises. The workouts are mostly static and last around 20 minutes.
With EMS training using the PEPPER EMS suit, you have your own wireless EMS suit that gives you freedom of movement similar to regular sports clothing, thanks to its lightweight battery. You don’t need to moisten the suit. With the PEPPER EMS suit, you can train anytime and anywhere. You control the frequency and intensity of the impulses via the PEPPER EMS App, which also includes workout videos with frequencies synchronized to the exercises, training plans and free training options. These features allow you to customize your EMS training and combine it with other sports such as tennis, jogging, cycling or boxing. For EMS beginners, the PEPPER App provides helpful introductions to EMS training to help you train optimally at home. You can also schedule a live onboarding session with one of our EMS experts by sending an email to [email protected].

EMS stands for electrical muscle stimulation. EMS uses low-frequency electrical impulses that lead to controlled muscle contractions and intensify muscle movement and activation.
EMS works by replicating the natural electrical signals from your brain that are normally responsible for muscle contraction and sending low-frequency impulses directly to your major muscle groups.
This way, highly efficient muscle contractions can be achieved that activate up to 90% of your muscle fibers. In contrast to classic strength training, which focuses on one exercise and one muscle group at a time, EMS full-body training can activate and strengthen all major muscle groups simultaneously.
The advantage of EMS training lies in its high efficiency: you can activate twice as many muscle fibers as when lifting weights. This allows all major muscle groups to be trained at the same time. Depending on the intensity, 20 minutes of EMS training corresponds to approximately 1–2 hours of conventional gym training. EMS training is also gentle on the joints because no additional weights are used.
Yes, when used correctly, EMS training is safe and effective. The low-frequency impulses only reach the skeletal muscles and not deeper body regions. Please follow the user manual and the onboarding in the PEPPER EMS App for correct use.
EMS training should only be used on healthy bodies and for fitness purposes. Train only with the PEPPER training system if you feel healthy and fit.
You should not use the product if any of the contraindications listed below apply to you:
- Pacemaker, defibrillator, severe heart disease
- Acute bacterial or viral infection
- Pregnancy
We recommend following the precautions and consulting your doctor if the following health conditions apply to you:
- Severe muscle strain, trauma, fractures, atrophy
- Severe joint problems
- Cardiovascular or heart disease
- Severe neurological diseases (epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, sensory disorders)
- Severe metabolic diseases (diabetes type I or II, thyroid, liver, kidney)
- Severe circulatory disorders (ischemia, arteriosclerosis)
- Abdominal or inguinal hernia
- Electronic devices (e.g. heart monitors, ECG devices)
- Cancer, tumor disease
- Severe orthopedic diseases (arthrosis, osteoporosis, rheumatism)
- Severe respiratory diseases (asthma, COPD, allergies)
We recommend interrupting your training or consulting a doctor if:
- Your health condition has changed and any of the contraindications or precautions apply to you
- Skin redness or irritation persists for a longer period
- You experience headaches or other pain during or after training
Electrical muscle stimulation should also not be applied to the neck, mouth or head, or to inflamed or infected areas of the body. Even though there have been no known cases of PEPPER training causing cardiac arrhythmias, there is a theoretical residual risk and it is necessary to warn of the potential risk of arrhythmias.
For healthy people, EMS training is safe if performed correctly. If you are pregnant or have pre-existing conditions, you should definitely consult your doctor before starting EMS training to ensure that EMS is suitable for you.
However, if you regularly exceed your personal performance limit during EMS training, this can lead to an increase in creatine kinase (CK) levels in the blood. If you train beyond your limits and do not allow sufficient recovery phases, a persistently elevated CK level can damage the kidneys. EMS beginners in particular should start EMS training slowly, schedule regular breaks to recover from EMS sessions and gradually increase the training volume until the body has adapted to the electrical impulses.
The sensation we are aiming for with EMS is an intense tingling that activates your muscles.
