What is BEMER?

Have you heard about BEMER but aren't quite sure what it is?

BEMER is a wellness technology product that uses a specialized Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) signal designed to support the body's healthy microcirculation—the flow of blood through the smallest blood vessels. Healthy microcirculation plays an important role in delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body and removing metabolic waste from tissues.


For fitness centers, adding BEMER can be a valuable wellness service that complements exercise and recovery programs. Whether offered as a member benefit or as a fee-based service, it provides another way to help members focus on recovery and overall wellness. Adding recovery-focused services like BEMER can help your facility differentiate itself while providing members with another tool to support their health and fitness goals. 


Many users report benefits from BEMER such as:

  • Improved overall circulation
  • Enhanced physical performance
  • Faster recovery after exercise
  • Reduced muscle soreness and fatigue
  • Better relaxation and sleep quality


BEMER sessions are non-invasive, comfortable, and typically last just 8 minutes p/session. Participants simply lie on the BEMER mat while the device delivers its patented electromagnetic signal. What an easy and simple way to add value to your fitness center, while make some additional revenue from each session.


Call NIHCA for more details how you can invest in a BEMER for your facility and members.
