For the PEPPER suit to function optimally, it should fit comfortably but still be snug. The suit is made of elastic material and will become more flexible over time. If an area of the suit feels too loose, you can use the belts provided to make this area tighter. You can also calculate your size on our website.
You can calculate your size on our website. Choose the size that is suggested to you during the calculation.
The electrodes of the suit should be in direct contact with your skin. We therefore recommend wearing nothing underneath if possible.
The zipper of the suit is located at the back and can be closed with the cord. The end of the cord is magnetic and can be attached to the back of the suit. The electrodes should be placed on your muscles. The battery is attached to the right side of your suit and secured with the strap.
The PEPPER suit is made of 68% nylon and 32% spandex. The fabric is machine washable at 30°C with normal detergent, but without fabric softener. Do not use a tumble dryer, but leave the PEPPER EMS suit to air dry.
The PEPPER suit can be washed in the washing machine at 30° Celsius with normal detergent (without fabric softener). Please remove the battery before washing the suit and do not tumble dry it.
The PEPPER suit was subjected to 150 wash cycles without any signs of wear being detected.
As the PEPPER suit is designed to fit perfectly, we do not recommend wearing a size that does not fit you. However, you can buy a second suit on peppermove.com and share a battery.
When you buy a PEPPER suit, you will also receive straps that can be used to adjust any loose areas of the PEPPER EMS suit. For EMS training, however, you also need the PEPPER battery. That’s why we offer you the opportunity to buy everything together in our starter bundle. This even includes the first 3 months of the PEPPER app free of charge.
- Check whether the battery light is on. If not, charge the battery with the charging cable. Always disconnect the battery from the suit before plugging it in.
-
Check that the PEPPER app is connected to the suit. Switch on Bluetooth on your phone or tablet and go to the suit settings in the PEPPER app.
-
Check that the battery is correctly positioned on the side of your suit.
-
Always warm up your body or moisten the electrodes before putting on the suit, as the impulses are best transmitted with some moisture.
If none of this helps, please contact our PEPPER team via [email protected].
The intensity levels range from 0 to 100%, so you can set them to your desired intensity. You have full control over the intensity settings to customize your workout.
There is no difference in the frequency and intensity of the electrical impulses between our PEPPER EMS suit and the suits used in EMS studios. The main difference lies in the design and functionality. In EMS studios, the suit is connected to a device with cables to transmit the electrical impulses, which restricts freedom of movement. In addition, the suit must be moistened before use. In contrast, the PEPPER EMS suit requires no moistening and is powered by a lightweight battery, making it wireless and allowing complete freedom of movement during training.
Yes, the PEPPER suit offers the same intensity as in the studio, including the settings most frequently tested in the literature (between 15 and 100 Hz and 160 to 490 µs pulse width).
If the electronic impulses feel uncomfortable, try moistening the electrodes with water or extend your warm-up phase. The transmission of impulses from the electrodes works best with moisture. Also, try to reduce and increase the intensity carefully and find the right intensity for you. Start with one body part at a time.
If you have the feeling that the pulse intensity changes during training, there may be various reasons for this. The current flow between the electrodes and your skin increases when you sweat, as the conductivity increases. In this case, you can simply reduce the intensity to a more comfortable level. Alternatively, extend your warm-up session or moisten the parts of your body 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. Your body will also get used to the intensity over time. If you train longer with PEPPER, you can simply increase your intensity to make the training more challenging and continuously stimulate your muscles to grow.
If the pulse feels different on one side of your body, pause the pulse and try placing the electrodes on top of your muscle group. If the electrodes are not placed directly over your muscles, the intensity may feel different.
The feeling of pulse intensity can vary depending on your state of health or performance. 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 moisturize your skin a little before putting on the PEPPER suit.
We cannot give a clear answer to this question. EMS can help with weight loss by boosting muscle activity and metabolism in the body. In addition, EMS training can promote blood circulation. These effects can support weight loss. However, it is advisable to also maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise, as EMS training alone cannot replace a healthy lifestyle.
If your PEPPER EMS suit does not fit, please send an email to [email protected] within 30 days from the date of purchase.

PEPPER offers three different training modes: strength, cardio and relaxation.
Strength: As the body first has to get used to the intensity of the impulses, we recommend starting with a maximum of 25 minutes of strength training per week in the first month. As soon as you get used to the electrical impulses of EMS training, you can gradually train several times a week and increase the intensity.
Cardio and Relax: As the pulse intensity is lower here, this training can be carried out 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, in the gym, outside, on your spinning bike or even on the tennis court.
The PEPPER App offers a wide range of strength, yoga and cardio workout videos and enables you to get an effective full-body workout with EMS that always activates all muscles. Some workouts place a special focus on specific muscle groups. You can also train without videos and create your own workout. For inspiration: PEPPER can also be integrated into sports such as tennis, jogging, boxing or cycling.
The first results will be visible after 4 to 6 weeks. Get the most out of your PEPPER experience by training regularly and challenging yourself. To keep your motivation high, you can also create a training plan in our PEPPER App.
You can test your PEPPER EMS suit with battery for 30 days. If you are satisfied with the product, simply keep it. If it does not meet your expectations or does not fit, send us an e-mail to [email protected] within 30 days of the order date. Upon receipt of your return, the refund will be made within approximately 3 days via your chosen payment method.
The key difference between an EMS studio and the PEPPER EMS suit with PEPPER App lies in the flexibility, versatility and independence of the training. Regular EMS training with PEPPER is also more cost-effective than in a studio.
In the EMS studio, you receive a suit that needs to be moistened with water before training. This suit is connected by cable to a device that controls the electrical impulses, which restricts freedom of movement during training. In the studio, the training is accompanied by a personal trainer who regulates the frequency and intensity of the impulses and guides the exercises. The workouts are usually rather static and last around 20 minutes.
With EMS training using the PEPPER EMS suit, on the other hand, you have your own wireless suit that offers the same freedom of movement as normal sportswear thanks to a lightweight battery. Moisturizing the suit is not necessary. With the PEPPER EMS suit, you can train anytime and anywhere. The frequency and intensity of the pulses can be conveniently controlled via the PEPPER App, which also includes workout videos with synchronized frequencies for the exercises, training plans and free training. These functions make it possible to customize EMS training and combine it with other sports such as tennis, jogging, cycling or boxing. For EMS beginners, the PEPPER App offers helpful introductions to all aspects of EMS training in order to optimize training at home. You can also arrange a live onboarding session with one of our EMS experts by sending an email to [email protected].

EMS stands for Electronic Muscle Stimulation. EMS uses low-frequency electrical impulses that lead to controlled muscle contractions, thereby intensifying muscle movement and activation.
Normally, your brain sends electrical signals to contract your muscles. EMS replicates these brain signals and sends low-frequency impulses directly to your major muscle groups. This allows for highly efficient muscle contractions, reaching up to 90% of your muscle fibers. Unlike traditional strength training, which focuses on just one exercise and muscle group at a time, full-body training with EMS can activate and strengthen all major muscle groups simultaneously.
EMS training makes your workout very efficient. You can activate twice as many muscle fibers as when lifting weights, allowing all major muscle groups to be engaged simultaneously. Depending on the intensity, 20 minutes of EMS training is equivalent to 1 to 2 hours of traditional fitness training in a gym. Additionally, EMS training is gentle on the joints as it does not require additional weights.
Yes, when used correctly, EMS training is safe and effective. The low-frequency impulses only target the skeletal muscles and do not reach deeper body regions. Please follow the user manual and the onboarding process in the PEPPER App for proper use.
EMS should only be used on healthy bodies and for fitness purposes. Train with the PEPPER training system only if you feel healthy and fit.
If any of the following contraindications apply to you, you should not use the product:
- Pacemaker, defibrillator, severe heart disease
- Acute bacterial or viral infection
- Pregnancy
We recommend that you follow the precautions and consult your doctor if any of 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 disorders (Type I or II diabetes, thyroid, liver, kidney)
- Severe circulatory disorders (ischemia, arteriosclerosis)
- Abdominal or inguinal hernia
- Electronic devices (e.g., heart monitors, ECG devices)
- Cancer, tumors
- Severe orthopedic conditions (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatism)
- Severe respiratory diseases (asthma, COPD, allergies)
We recommend pausing 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 an extended period
- You experience headaches or other pain during or after training
Electrical muscle stimulation should also not be applied to the neck, mouth, head, or over inflamed or infected body areas. Although no training-related risk of triggering heart arrhythmias with the PEPPER system has been reported, a theoretical residual risk remains, and caution should be exercised regarding potential heart rhythm disturbances.
EMS training is safe for healthy people if practiced correctly. If you are pregnant or have a pre-existing medical condition, you should always seek medical advice before starting EMS training to ensure that you are allowed to train with EMS.
However, if you regularly exceed your own performance limits during EMS training, this can cause an increase in the creatine kinase (CK) level in your blood. If you train beyond your own limits and do not have sufficient recovery phases, a persistently high CK value can damage the kidneys. EMS beginners in particular should start EMS training slowly, take regular breaks to recover from EMS training and gradually increase the training workload until the body has become accustomed to the electrical impulses.
The feeling that we are looking for in EMS is an intense tingling that activates your muscles.
