If you want to get a true picture of your progress in the gym and your overall health, body composition analysis is the way to go. The number on the scale may not be telling you the whole story. If your goals are improving your health, reducing body fat, increasing muscle, and losing overall weight, we recommend scheduling a scan. The device we purchased is medical-grade and is extremely accurate. It uses bio electrical impedance to send electrical impulses through the body using contacts on the hands and feet. The data it provides:
- Total weight broken down into water, dry mass (muscle, skeleton & organs), fat mass
- Body fat percentage
- Basal Metabolic Rate (the amount of calories your body burns in a 24 hour period at rest)
- Muscle-Fat Analysis – total weight, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass
- Obesity Analysis – BMI and Body Fat Percentage
- Segmental Lean Analysis – break down of lean mass distributed through the left/right arm, left/right leg, trunk. Compares muscle mass to the ideal for the height and gender
- Body Composition History – tracks progress from scan to scan. You will be able to see progress for weight, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat percentage
- Body Fat/Lean Body Mass Control – the report recommends if the you needs to increase or decrease lean muscle mass or fat mass
If you are interested in getting a scan, let us know and we’ll get you scheduled. The test is super quick, but we want to go over the results with you and make sure you have the information you need to take action on your goals!

How We Use the Scan
The data on the scan provides us with enough information to provide accurate guidance on nutrition based on the member goals
The data helps us identify targeted areas for training by working on muscle imbalances between the left/right side or upper/lower body
The data helps us determine if the member has sufficient muscle mass to support their overall body mass
We can prescribe a workout plan including cardio to help with fat loss
