Sometimes it takes change of circumstance to lead to a new path in life, and for German civil engineer Christoph Mauss it started with his arrival in Australia. Speaking very little English he was unable to work as an engineer, which lead him to follow his passion and carve out a career in the fitness industry. Christoph has been working in the industry for over 10 years and has never looked back.

 

A keen sportsman and triathlete, Christoph trained as a Pilates instructor. He went on to manage a studio and is a passionate advocate of posture and strength training. These days he successfully runs two miha bodytec studios called Inpuls Studios in Sydney.

 

How did you first get to know about miha bodytec EMS training? 

About five years ago I found out about EMS through a friend with a miha bodytec studio in Frankfurt. I thought it was a really amazing way of training. Using my knowledge and understanding of the body, I could see how the technology amplified the training, and I was immediately convinced by the system.

 

What were the main advantages you found with miha bodytec EMS training?

Because I am a runner, swimmer and cyclist it was really effective for me – I was more efficient in my movements, had more endurance with less injuries and quicker recovery. I just love how EMS feels. Through the EMS training my muscles became stronger and therefore more flexible. With EMS I can engage muscles that are difficult to train during a conventional workout.

 

You worked as a Pilates trainer prior to your EMS studio, why the change?

Because of the results you get with miha bodytec EMS. I am so passionate about it now, it’s just so incredible. I still use the principle of Pilates and combine it with EMS. For me everything starts with posture; if you improve that, you can start working on the other things… switching everything on, activating pelvic floor muscles, toning and building muscle, and it goes on from there… people love it and feel activated!

 

How have clients reacted when they are introduced to miha bodytec?

My clients trusted me, they understood when I explained it was a new approach to workouts. miha bodytec EMS is a no brainer with sessions that only last 20 minutes. Clients tell me they have less physio/chiropractic treatment since they have taken up this training method. Clients with reoccurring problems – back pain, joints, tendons often have to stop exercising but by adjusting their program EMS gives them an opportunity to still exercise. The results are still the same, as we work with pre-muscular tension.

 

Has your client base changed since providing miha bodytec EMS training?

I have more variety of clients now particularly older ones. EMS is amazing for them. I met an 80yo man in the doctor’s waiting room, who was in a lot of pain and was scared to move much. I convinced him to come and see me, and we started off slowly in the sitting position with leg squeezes and some arm work. After a few months he progressed so much, and now he’s back at tennis, he can turn his head when driving the car, and generally he feels re-energised. I love that feeling of helping people.

 

What are the advantages you see from regular miha bodytec EMS training? 

Because sessions are conducted with a trainer, you get a personal training session tailored to your needs. I always start with ‘how is your body feeling today?’ and we go from there. I always keep workouts fresh and versatile as possible. The time saving is great too, 2 x 20min sessions for best results with some clients preferring just 1 per week. I have a few clients who like to train at lunchtime, some even before a big meeting – they believe it makes them think clearly, with positive energy.

Did you have to complete special training to open an EMS studio?

My training was at miha bodytec headquarters in Germany. Now the distributors in Australia and NZ conduct the training here. The company is in markets all over the world and they give you a lot of information and support to help start the business. They are the world leaders and have research, business models, websites, and so much information to help guide you. Their products and service is really good.

​

How have you found the running of an EMS business, and setting up the studio’s?

An EMS studio is a bit more boutique style, with a 1:1 or 1:2 personal training and therefore you are more intimate with customers. I have more long term clients that trust me, and who really notice a change in muscle tone and body shape. Having a miha bodytec EMS studio has given me an advantage in a highly competitive PT market.
