Body measurements
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) provides a fast, safe, and non-invasive way to understand your body beyond simple weight by measuring fat mass, muscle mass, body water balance, visceral fat, and cellular health. It helps distinguish fat loss from muscle loss, detects hydration issues and inflammation through Extracellular/Total Body Water (ECW/TBW) ratios, and evaluates overall cell vitality via phase angle. BIA supports personalized training and nutrition plans, tracks progress over time with meaningful metrics, identifies early health risks like high visceral fat or low muscle mass, and offers a far more accurate picture of health and fitness than BMI or a standard scale.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measurements may not be performed on individuals who are connected to electronic life-support systems (e.g. artificial heart or artificial lung), or portable electronic medical devices (e.g. ECG devices or infusion pumps).
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measurements may only be performed on individuals with cardiac arrhythmias or pregnancy after discussion with the attending physician.
