Body Composition Testing
Monitoring your weight is not enough. Weight can be misleading when used as an indicator of health. Anyone may experience frustration when their weight shows no change, even with exercise and improved nutrition. Your body is a complex structure made of different components, such as water, fat, and muscle. Your body cannot be expressed with a simple number.
In less than 60 seconds, your Body Composition Test will show a true assessment of your body. It will reveal its percentages of body fat, muscle distribution, muscle strength and body water balance, components that are key to understanding more about your body.
Track your progress over time. Taking the Inbody Test just once will give you a snapshot of your body in that moment of time. However, taking the InBody Test consistently will give you a timeline of your progress. Watch your improvements from exercise and diet and do not let your hard work go to waste.
Measure your fat, muscle, and water levels in less than a minute. No dunking. No pinching. No Pod. No discomfort.
How does an InBody Composition Scan work?
InBody composition analysers break down your weight and display your body composition data on an organized, easy-to-understand Result Sheet. The results help you understand where your fat, muscle, and body levels are and act as a guide to help you achieve your goals, whether that is shedding a few unwanted pounds, gaining muscle mass and strength, or undergoing a complete body transformation.
