Our concept, your success: become a Körperformen licence partner

“I’ve always been sporty. I previously worked as a personal trainer and gym manager, among other things. The main thing I was missing was personal support, which is when I became aware of EMS training. This training method perfectly corresponds to my requirements: EMS allows me to provide everyone with the best possible training, regardless of age, time and potential physical limitations. After doing intensive research, one concept in particular stood out to me: Körperformen. It was the perfect choice and I’m still extremely happy with my decision. The advantages of the Körperformen licence concept, the comprehensive and competent advice from the head office and, of course, the success all speak for themselves. With Körperformen behind me as a licensor I then opened my second gym at the end of 2021. This gym is also developing in a very positive way and we are currently training more than 140 customers here.”

“In August 2012, I opened the first of now seven Körperformen gyms. Even during my studies (Sports Economics B.A. and Health Management M.A.), I always had the goal of self-employment in mind.

Having Körperformen at my side helped me successfully achieve this goal. I was particularly won over by their strong network, which offers many advantages over being a “lone wolf”. However, this does not limit my entrepreneurial freedom in any way. I can implement my own ideas but get support from the head office in terms of operational and strategic development. Körperformen is constantly developing as a brand, is always implementing new ideas and continually adapts to changes in the market.

Compared to the first openings, it is clear that it is getting easier from opening to opening because “Körperformen” has become a household name and recognised brand. Both new and existing licence partners can rely on a proven concept with plenty of background knowledge as well as tried-and-tested marketing and sales strategies.”

“I was involved in lots of sports during my studies in aircraft and automobile construction at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. I arranged a trial training session in an EMS studio and knew straight away that this type of training had a future on the market. It wasn’t long before I sat down with Marcel Kentenich for a consultation. He explained Körperformen’s licensing concept to me and got me hooked straight away. Just 3 months later, on 15 July 2015, I opened my first club in Hamburg Barmbek at just 23 years old, and only a few months later, I broke even. I was supported by Körperformen in every aspect of setting up a business. I’m delighted that I chose Körperformen!”

“After training as a sports and gymnastics teacher, I worked in various fitness facilities and most recently managed a facility in Baden-Württemberg. My work there included training, personnel planning, sales and management of the group fitness area.

Due to my desire to become self-employed, my interest in EMS training was piqued by an acquaintance and I was immediately enthusiastic about this training method. My wish became a goal and I wanted to open my own EMS gym. Although I initially wanted to set this up without a licence system, I then met with the manager at the head office in Bonn following a recommendation from another successful Körperformen owner.

The authentic manner and presentation of the licence concept convinced me to work with Körperformen. As promised, I received all the support I needed with regard to location and property selection, the business plan, financing meetings, opening marketing and training courses. I always have a competent person to contact at Körperformen, even after my first studio opening in Roth near Nuremberg in January 2016. Just one year later, I opened another Körperformen in Treuchtlingen because of this successful partnership.”

“I’d always been keen to start my own business. While studying for my MA in Sports Science, I was already gathering knowledge about what it means to be self-employed. I financed my studies for 8 years via gastronomy (my hobby). This freedom and personal development didn’t leave me after completing my studies. That’s how I came across Körperformen. 

My first impression was that they were very pleasant and, above all, goal-oriented, right from the start. With a strong partner at my side, I was able to easily compensate for a lack of knowledge in the areas of marketing, sales and management. I am still benefiting from the further development of the business today and have already been able to open and manage six gyms. Over the last 5 years, the process has been characterised by progress and growth, during which I can implement my own ideas and visions very well. So, I can now look back at a very successful time and am looking forward to the next few years.”

“Before I started my combined studies in Fitness & Economics, I’d never even heard of EMS. It was only through my apprenticeship at Körperformen that I became familiar with the training methods and concept, and I was enthusiastic about it straight away. It quickly became clear that Körperformen was an important part of me. So, when my apprenticeship came to an end, I decided to open my own Körperformen studio in Bornheim, which I’ve

successfully managed for almost 2 years. To this day, I’m happy and pleased with my decision. With Körperformen, I have a strong partner at my side that supports me, particularly as a young entrepreneur, with the necessary know-how without having to give up my entrepreneurial freedom. I have since opened my second studio in Roisdorf.”
