InBody Measures your BODY COMPOSITION

Get Scanned uses the InBody 770 Bioelectrical Impedance Analyser – a rare, truly Medical Grade scanner that is considered a gold-standard, practical method for measuring body composition.

InBody is scientifically validated for measuring structure and the data gleaned can assist in designing programs and lifestyles to correct and improve constitutional health.

You will begin the test by removing your shoes and socks, and excess clothing. We recommend that you wear light-weight comfortable clothing such as what you might exercise in, as our scanner is set up to assume a 300g clothing weight and subtract that from the measured scale weight. If it’s your first scan, we will initially measure your height and then ask you to stand on the scanner. Once weighed, you’ll enter your mobile phone number as the scanner ID, and then fill in other details such as the height, age and biological gender that you wish to compare your measured data to. The scan will then be completed in approximately 60 seconds. 

Following your scan, we will provide a detailed interpretation and education session to help you set realistic, smarter goals, ensure you understand your data, and how to apply it to your lifestyle, training and nutrition protocols.
