All of our memberships include regular InBody scans. Tracking your progress is key to understanding if you are on the right path, or if you need to adjust your approach to your training, diet and/or lifestyle. Why is and InBody scan so valuable? Did you know that your scale simply measures your mass and then divides it by gravity to show you your weight? While this gives you some information about your body, it’s very limited and can be misleading. This is because the scale doesn’t separately measure your fat or muscle mass.
Often with exercise you lose fat and gain muscle. Since muscle is denser than fat, your body weight can sometimes increase as a result of exercise — which is a good thing because muscle density is important for maintaining a healthy body, especially as we age.
As such, two people at the same age, height and gender may share the exact same number on a scale. But one might be imbalanced, weak and at risk of disease, while the other is super healthy. What matters is looking at their body composition.
An InBody Scan accurately measures your body composition — the relative percentage of FAT, MUSCLE and WATER inside the body. Understanding how much fat and muscle make up the body, and where it’s located, is a significant tool to tracking your overall health and creating a roadmap to getting healthier. Is your upper body stronger than your lower body? Do you have enough muscle to support the body? Is your left side equal to your right side or are there imbalances? The scan only takes minutes and is 98% accurate. We recommend you have an InBody Scan every 60 to 90 days to track your progress and to tailor what you should be focusing on at the gym.
