Strength training (HIT)

Build up your strength quickly. Two 30-minute sessions of strength training a week have proven to be the ideal dose to strengthen your muscles and boost your health.

Strength training (HIT)

Your muscles are there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, giving you strength, holding you up and keeping you moving. They support your back and protect you from pain. They strengthen your self-esteem and speed up your fat and sugar metabolism. And they communicate with your immune system and organs. In short, your muscles power your life.

Intensive strength training on our specially manufactured machines will build up your muscles in no time. Two 30-minutes sessions each week is the formula for success. This ensures a significant increase in muscle mass and you’ll get noticeably stronger.

Medical training consultation

During the consultation we check your health. If you have any medical conditions, we take them into account in your training plan.

Medical training consultation

At Kieser, a medical training consultation is standard. The consultation usually lasts about 20 minutes and takes place within the first ten training sessions. As part of our health-oriented strength training, we check your state of health and physical constitution and look at your training goals together. This includes discussing your personal medical history and noting down current complaints. We then take this into account in your training plan.

Based on the examination, we can perfect your programme and clarify any questions about the training structure. This way, we can guarantee you a high quality of training.

Back analysis

We determine your individual strength level. A comparison with standard data allows us to optimally plan your back training.

Back analysis

Using our computerised back machine, we ascertain the mobility of your spine and the strength of your deep back extensors in the lumbar area during the initial phase of your training. Weakness in this muscle area is often associated with back pain.

We compare your measurements with the standard data of individuals with healthy backs. The analysis provides information about the current state of your back muscles and helps us to better diagnose functional causes of your complaints. Repeated regularly, it also documents your training success.

BIA: body composition measurement

With bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), we can precisely show you the ratio of muscle to fat in your body.

BIA: body composition measurement

What matters for your health is not your body weight, but your body composition. Kieser now offers the latest method of body composition measurement: bioelectrical impedance analysis, or BIA for short.

The BIA measurement allows us to determine your muscle mass and body fat in just 24 seconds. The evaluation is a valuable aid in planning your training. Based on the information, we show you how to efficiently increase your muscle mass and reduce your body fat in order to boost your health.

Computer-assisted back training

Your training is focussed on improving your back muscles. Measuring and displaying your strength allows controlled training that can be precisely evaluated.

Computer-assisted back training

Exercising certain muscle groups isn’t always easy using conventional methods. The deep back muscles in the lumbar and cervical spine are particularly difficult to reach.

For example, if we want to exercise the small back muscles in the lumbar area, the larger muscles nearby – the gluteal muscles and the muscles on the back of the thighs – come to the rescue and do the bulk of the work. As a result, the small back muscles don’t get any stronger. But with computerised back exercise machines, even these muscles can be safely and effectively built up.

During training, your strength is measured and displayed as a curve. This allows us to record your training progress. It’s usually possible to achieve a significant improvement in strength after only 12 to 18 sessions.

Regular monitoring

We’ll regularly assist you during your training, making sure you carry out the exercises correctly, measuring your strength with a sensor and showing you new training methods.

Regular monitoring

To make sure your training is successful, we’ll regularly accompany you during your training session. We watch you performing the exercises and adjust the weights and equipment in your training plan as necessary. This way, we ensure that you train effectively at the right intensity.

The strength sensor is a useful measuring instrument for documenting your progress on the various machines. The measurement indicates your strength level and where you rank compared to others of your gender and age group.

We’ll also show you other training methods such as the super slow method. With this technique, you change your rhythm of movement in the concentric phase of the exercise, which is when you lift the weight block. Instead of four seconds, you take ten seconds to lift the weight. This increases the intensity and means there are fewer repetitions.

Strength training in Basel

In our Kieser studio in Basel, we offer you professional strength training on high-quality machines. This will give you the strength and endurance for what is important to you. We do not see ourselves as a classic fitness studio. If you like to admire your muscles in the mirror, watch TV during the training session on the machine and sit at the drinks bar after fitness, you have come to the wrong address. Our focus is on your health and our training concept is based on this.

The Studio Basel is located in a former cinema building. The building was renovated in 2016. The premises are therefore in mint condition. The architectural style of the cinema is still easily recognisable, which gives the studio a special charm. The Bauhaus style runs through the entire building. The training room is flooded with light and clearly laid out. Decorative pieces are deliberately left out, as the studio aims for a quiet training atmosphere. The training room is on the second floor, the changing rooms are one floor down on the first floor. Two lifts are available to customers.

Ideally located, the studio is in the middle of Basel's Steinenvorstadt and is easily accessible by public transport. You can travel to the Heuwaage stop or alternatively walk to the studio from Basel main station. The walk takes about 10 minutes. If you prefer to travel by car, you can use the Elisabethen and Steinenparking car parks. The studio is located in a pedestrian zone with many shopping facilities, such as a Spar, many clothing shops and restaurants, where you can replenish your energy after training.
 

Physiotherapy activebalance

In addition to strength training, you can also take advantage of physiotherapy services in our studio, as Kieser Basel has entered into a cooperation partnership with the physiotherapy provider activebalance. Training and therapy can thus be combined and better coordinated.

A visit to the studio Kieser Basel is particularly suitable for medical training therapy - MTT for short. MTT is prescribed by a doctor and is aimed at equipment-supported training, which is put together by the physiotherapist treating the patient. Through this cooperation, the physiotherapist knows all about the training equipment and, in collaboration with the instructors and medical staff at Kieser, can tailor the therapy and training plan perfectly to the client.
