Body Composition Testing

What we do

BODY COMPOSITION TESTING

What is Body Composition Testing

We use an InBody570 Scale.

This super quick and highly sensitive measurement will give a detailed reading of your body composition. You will receive a report that details your total weight in muscle, fat, and water.

Body composition testing can tell you:

  • If you’ve gained or lost muscle.
  • If you’ve gained or lost body fat.
  • If your body fat percentage has changed.
  • If your Body Mass Index (BMI) has changed, and why.
  • If your muscles are well hydrated.
  • If you have a change in fluid retention.
  • If abdominal (visceral) fat stores are low, normal, or high.
  • If your visceral fat stores have changed.

Here’s a video that gives more information about the InBody 570 results sheet.

What to Expect

  • Visits are conducted quickly and safely – usually in under 15 minutes.
  • Sock and shoes must be removed for the test.
  • Tests can not be conducted if you have a pacemaker.
  • For best results, do not exercise before your test. Be well hydrated and try to use the restroom prior to the test.
  • You will receive your results right away.

Here’s a video that shows how the test is performed.

Fees

Each test is $40.

Visits to review test results may be covered by your health insurance.
