Body Composition Testing

How

Our fitness coaches will use a body stat machine to measure body composition. The method is quick and non-invasive. The devise uses bio-electrical impedance to accurately analyze and measure fat, lean muscle and water quantities in your body. The results will allow for you to then track lose of fat, and gain of muscle and even monitor hydration

Why

Body Composition tells us what the body is made up of, looking at everything from water, and body fat to lean muscle mass. Body Mass Index measurements nowadays are considered an outdated method. Measuring body composition on the other hand is a far more effective way to assess body measurements.

What

Body fat is found under the skin or around the organs. Non-fat mass, or lean tissue, on the other hand, refers to our bones, muscles, organs, tissues, and water. These are the things that burn calories for energy, whereas fat does not. Body composition measures these elements to tell us what our bodies are made up of, it shows us changes in fat, muscle mass, and body fat percentage to help us understand our health levels and where we need to improve.

When

A great time to find out your body composition results is at the start of newly engaging in exercise, a new program, or new goal. This can provide a good baseline to follow.
