About EMS Fitness
Whole Body Electro Muscle Stimulation (WB-EMS) activates your body by mimicking signals that the brain sends to the muscles to contract during traditional exercise. The muscles can’t determine whether the signal is coming from the brain or the impulses coming through the miha bodytec device, but either way they contract! This makes EMS a fast and easy fitness solution for increasing muscle strength and performance.
- Just one 20 minute EMS session per week is all it takes!
EMS is a scientifically proven whole body training solution and is FDA CLEARED for exercise and physical medicine (physical therapy and sports rehabilitation). EMS Sessions consist of low impact functional movements and are always conducted by an EMS certified trainer. EMS has proven results in people of all ages and fitness ability with numerous published scientific studies to support its efficacy.
The benefits of Whole Body EMS are endless. Studies have shown that EMS training increases agility, endurance, and strength while at the same time decreasing tension and back pain.
Delivers Maximum Results in Minimal Time
Due to the full body activation and intensity of EMS training, sessions only need to be conducted 1x per week for 20 minutes equaling the benefits of 2.5 hours of conventional strength training.
Minimizes Strain on Musculoskeletal System
Unlike traditional weight training, EMS uses electrical impulses to directly stimulate muscle contractions. This low-impact training eliminates the need for lifting external weights, which can put stress on joints, bones, and muscles.
Reduces Fat
Coastal Fit WB-EMS stimulates muscle contractions, which, when combined with proper diet and exercise, can lead to building muscle mass. Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue, potentially increasing your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and calorie burning throughout the day causing the body to burn fat longer.
Creates Body Symmetry
EMS achieves body symmetry by evenly and simultaneously strengthening 98% of the body's muscles which traditional strength training cannot do.
Improves Strength Faster
During an EMS session, the impulses activate over 98% of your muscles simultaneously throughout all major muscle groups. Each muscle reacts with 85 contractions per second - compared to 1-2 contractions per second in one muscle group at a time during traditional strength training.
Relaxes Muscle Tension
Coastal Fit WB-EMS can induce muscle contractions, which may increase blood flow to the stimulated areas. This increased circulation can help remove metabolic waste products like lactic acid, which can contribute to muscle fatigue and tension. This increased circulation also boosts your immune system and allows for vital organs to work more efficiently.
What to Expect
Your first EMS training session will be a unique and transformative experience.
Here’s what you can generally expect:
Your First Visit
On your first visit to our luxury EMS Studio, we will discuss your health history, access your fitness level, and determine what your fitness goals are. We will personalize your workout to fit your specific needs. Our sole mission is to help you achieve your fitness goals much faster than you can with traditional workouts.
Before We Start
Your initial session will begin with your Certified EMS trainer explaining how EMS works and its potential benefits. We want you to feel completely comfortable with the fundamentals of EMS before you begin your first training. You will then be provided special undergarments to be worn under your suit during the session.
Get Suitted
A major aspect of EMS training is our specialized suits that you wear during the sessions. These specially made fitted suits have electrodes that deliver 85 muscle contractions per second while activating 98% of your muscle fibers. These electrodes are strategically placed on all your major muscle groups to achieve the maximum benefit of Electro Muscle Stimulation. We will explain every step, so you fully understand the entire process from start to finish.
Preparation
Your first step of training is to do an Impulse Familiarization. This will calibrate the EMS device based on your individual needs and will get you completely acclimated to the impulses that you will feel during your session. Prior to your EMS session starting, we will go through a brief warm-up to prepare your muscles for the electrical stimulation.
Your Session
Now comes the core of our EMS training. Your session will consist of a series of basic exercises and movements with the electrical stimulation enhancing your muscle contractions. As always, your Certified EMS Trainer will be there with you every step of the way. We will be guiding you through each exercise ensuring proper form and maximizing the effectiveness of EMS. After the main session, there will be a cool-down period to help your muscles relax. This will involve stretching or low-intensity exercises.
Review and Schedule
At the conclusion of your EMS Session, we will review your training and receive feedback. We will constantly be using this information to continue to customize your future workouts to help achieve your fitness goals. We will also discuss post workout recovery techniques that are very important when doing EMS training.

The Most Common Questions
We have answers, here are just a few questions that we get asked
EMS (Electro-Myo-Stimulation) originates from physical therapy. An electrode vest is worn, or electrodes are placed on the body to stimulate the muscles. EMS is a highly effective whole-body workout training program that can achieve a variety of muscular training goals. The combination of voluntary muscle tension and at the same time activating all the major muscle groups creates a completely different stimulus and training is therefore shorter and more intense.
Due to the full body activation and intensity of EMS training, sessions only need to be conducted 1x per week for 20 mins equaling the benefits of 2.5 hours of conventional strength training.
Yes. EMS sessions consist of low impact functional movements and are always conducted by a certified personal trainer. EMS has proven results in people of all ages and fitness ability with numerous published scientific studies to support its efficacy.
Yes, EMS is a medically cleared training program. EMS is a scientifically proven whole body training solution and is FDA CLEARED for exercise and physical medicine (physical therapy and sports rehabilitation).
During an EMS session, the impulses activate over 98% of your muscles simultaneously throughout all major muscle groups. Each muscle reacts with 85 contractions per second – compared to 1-2 contractions per second in one muscle group at a time during traditional strength training.
While whole-body electro-myo-stimulation (WB-EMS) itself shouldn’t be painful, you might experience some discomfort or soreness after a session, similar to what you might feel after a regular workout. We will give you several techniques to recover post training to minimize muscle soreness.
Whole Body EMS activates your body by mimicking signals that the brain sends to the muscles to contract during traditional exercise. The muscles can’t determine whether the signal is coming from the brain or the impulses coming through the miha bodytec device, but either way they contract!
Yes. With four EMS machines Coastal Fit offers the opportunity to workout with a partner or a group.
The speed at which you see results with whole-body EMS (WB-EMS) training depends on several factors, but most people typically see noticeable changes within a few weeks to a couple of months.
Here’s a breakdown of what you might expect:
First few weeks:
Improved muscle activation and endurance: You might feel stronger and more capable during your workouts, even if you haven’t seen significant physical changes yet.
Enhanced muscle tone and definition: Some subtle improvements in muscle definition might be visible, particularly in areas targeted during your sessions.
Around one month:
Noticeable strength gains: You’ll likely feel significantly stronger and be able to lift heavier weights or perform more challenging exercises.
Some body composition changes: Depending on your diet and other lifestyle factors, you might start seeing reductions in body fat and increases in muscle mass.
Beyond one month:
Continued progress: With consistent training, you can expect ongoing improvements in strength, endurance, body composition, and overall fitness.
Within 6-8 sessions you should be noticing real changes with your body. Depending what you are working on with your trainer, that could be increased strength, reduced body fat, additional muscle, better toning, greater stability, or improved endurance. You should also feel more energetic and be sleeping more soundly.
Typically after 16 sessions your improvements should be significant in the form of increased lean muscle formation and body composition changes. EMS Workouts should be done regularly to ensure and maintain optimal results.
