Do I Have To Take My Clothes Off?

Well that's awkward, right? 

Not really!  This was actually a very good question I had recently about our Body Composition Testing.

"Do I have to take my clothes off?" 

The short answer is...NO!   We prefer you keep your clothes on! 

But I can see why someone would be concerned.  The most common methods for body fat testing you have probably experienced requires exposing your skin to have your fat pinched with skin fold calipers, or getting into a swimsuit and being dunked in tub of water. 

So I wanted to answer this question today and clear this one up.

 Watch the short video demonstration below to see just how simple our Body Composition Testing is! 

​Pretty simple right?

And best of all...you get to keep your clothes on :)

Here are a couple more questions we've had about our Body Composition Testing that I wanted to answer while I'm at it. 

​"What Do The Test Results Look Like?"

After completing your body composition test your personalized results are available immediately. 

At a glance you'll get a breakdown of how much muscle, fat and water you are made of.  You'll also see your body fat percentage, the balance of your lean muscle between your right and left sides, your total lean body mass and basal metabolic rate. 

Have a look at a sample of the results sheet below!

​Once we know all this information we can use it to calculate your protein and total calorie requirement and create a detailed and effective nutrition and fitness program to help you reach your goals. 

Whether you want to lose body fat, gain lean muscle, or just improve your general health, a body composition test and review of your results will get you off to a great start.

"How Often Should I Test?"

Testing at least once a month (or every 2 months as you get closer to your goal) is a great way to track your progress over time. 

Seeing changes in your body fat, muscle mass and overall body fat percentage, lets you know if you're on the right track or if some adjustments are needed to your nutrition or fitness program. 

The sooner you can make course corrections in your program the faster you will reach your goals!
