BOD POD Body Composition Assessment

A body composition assessment measures the different components that make up your body.  The primary components are your fat mass, lean muscle mass, bone, and water.

Unlike just weighing yourself on a scale, which only tells you your total weight, a body composition assessment shows you how much of your weight comes from fat versus muscle and other tissues. This information helps you understand your overall health, fitness level, and can guide personalized plans for training, nutrition, and wellness.  Additionally, tracking these measures can help assess change and effectiveness over time in response to programs and health management.

For example, two people might weigh the same, but one could have a higher percentage of muscle and lower fat, which usually means they’re healthier and fitter.

The BOD POD uses air displacement technology to accurately and quickly measure your body composition without discomfort. Validated against hydrostatic weighing, the gold standard in body fat and lean mass measurement, this quick, comfortable, and highly accurate test provides a detailed breakdown of your body composition, empowering you to tailor your training, nutrition, and wellness strategies for optimal results.

Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or just starting your health journey, the Bod Pod offers insights far beyond the scale.
