What VisionBody does
VisionBody, operating under parent entity VBTec, designs, manufactures, and sells wireless Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Electrical Muscle Activation (EMS-EMA) fitness systems. Founded by Henri Schmidt in 2014, the company pioneered the first fully wireless EMS system, using a proprietary 12-channel, 24-electrode dry-electrode architecture (no gels or water required) with amplitude modulation combining low and medium frequencies for deeper muscle penetration, real-time biofeedback sensors (hydration, skin resistance, ECG, BPM), and a companion MyVisionbody mobile app for iOS and Android. The PowerBox controller is FDA Cleared as a Class II Medical Device and TÜV certified, with German engineering and in-house manufacturing.
The core product portfolio includes the PowerSuit Personal System ($1,890 one-time) and the Pro System for commercial studios, plus the PowerBox controller, the MyVisionbody app (8 main programs, 65 subprograms), optional iOS controllers, and dedicated calf electrodes co-developed with University of Houston researchers. The business model is hardware-led: direct-to-consumer sales through visionbody.com, augmented by a global authorized distributor network with exclusive or protected territories, integrated Affirm installment financing, HSA/FSA payment acceptance, and a B2B channel for studios, gyms, and trainers with studio scalability, rental, and licensing concepts.
VisionBody serves individual home users (busy professionals, older adults, post-injury users), competitive and recreational athletes, biohackers/longevity enthusiasts, military and first responders (with a 10% discount program), and commercial fitness studios. The company operates regional entities in Jupiter/Miami, Florida (VB USA LLC), Calvià, Spain (Visionbody Europe SL under Managing Director Marcelo Somoza), and Dubai (VB Dubai), with no external institutional funding disclosed in the available material.

Both systems share the same core 12-channel, 24-electrode dry electrode technology controlled via the PowerBox controller and MyVisionbody App. The ecosystem is complemented by optional iOS controllers for non-smartphone users and studio business models for B2B distributors. The technology delivers up to 98% muscle activation with amplitude modulation featuring unique waveform options (depth, period length, square, triangle, sine wave forms).
