InBody Composition Analysis

Optimize Your Health with Body Composition Analysis

How are you tracking your fitness progress?
If you’re like most people, you step on your bathroom scale when you want to assess your health. But your bathroom scale is misleading!
Weight loss is not the same as fat loss. As we age, we naturally lose some of our heavy, dense muscle mass, and a lower number on the scale doesn’t always mean we’re in peak condition.
The key to physical fitness is losing excess body fat, not overall body weight. Instead of tracking how heavy you are, use body composition analysis to track how healthy you are.

What InBody measures

  • Skeletal Muscle Mass
  • Percent Body Fat
  • Segmental Body Water
  • Visceral Fat Area
  • Cellular health (via Segmental Phase Angle)
  • Hydration levels (via the BIVA Graph)
  • And more!

Take an InBody Test every two to four weeks to continuously monitor your progress towards your fitness goals.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AN INBODY SCAN?

Consistent testing conditions yield the most accurate results

Do:

  • Maintain your normal fluid intake the day before
  • Stand upright for at least 5 minutes
  • Stand barefoot on the scanner
  • Remove all heavy accessories like jewelry, watches, and jackets

  • Strive for normal body temperature

  • Use the restroom beforehand

Avoid:

  • Eat or exercise for at least 3 hours prior to your scan
  • Consume alcohol or excess caffeine for at least 24 hours
  • Shower or use a sauna immediately before your scan
  • Use lotion or ointment on your hands and feet

We recommend testing every 2-4 weeks under the same conditions to accurately track your progress. For example, if you always take class before your scan, then take all your scans after class for consistency.

What you get

Body Composition Analysis: metrics such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, and visceral fat level, providing a detailed breakdown of your body composition

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): estimates the calories your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions at rest

Segmental Lean Analysis: insights into the distribution of muscle and fat in different parts of your body, allowing for targeted fitness and nutrition strategies

Body composition is used by health professionals to evaluate a person’s weight by breaking it down into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water. It describes your healthy weight more accurately and provides a better glimpse into your overall health than traditional methods like BMI and weight.

Most diet and fitness goals focus on weight loss or gain, overlooking that two people of the same sex and body weight may look completely different from each other because they have different body compositions.

By differentiating between muscle and body fat, body composition removes the guesswork of determining what your weight fluctuations mean, be it muscle gain, body fat loss, or anything in between.

30 seconds.

If you’re using a GLP-1 medication, tracking more than the number on the scale matters. Regular InBody scans can help you see how your body composition is changing including whether weight loss is coming primarily from fat or whether you’re also losing valuable lean mass. Use your scans to stay informed, protect your progress, and make sure your approach to weight loss supports strength and long-term health.

First steps to improve body composition

Assess

Start by measuring your body composition and setting a body composition goal.

Nutrition

Understand how many calories you need to achieve your personal goal. Protein is important for muscle growth and fat loss.

Exercise

Physical activity is important for everyone. Adding resistance training can help challenge your muscles and help them get stronger.
