Body Fat Testing

-We have the tools to give you an accurate measurement of your fitness.

-We use Bod Pod testing which is the most accurate body fat testing method. It is more accurate than calipers, and bio-electrical impedance.

-This method has only 1% error. This means, if we told you that you were 20% body fat, you would be between 19% and 21%.

-Compare this to the testing methods of certified trainers at your local gym.

-At most gyms, certified trainers use caliper measurements to test body fat. Caliper measurements can have as much as 8% error; therefore if you were told that you were 20% body fat, you would be between 12% and 28%, which is a significant margin of error.

- How do you know what part of your program you need to change or how much you are improving, if you don’t have an accurate starting point?

-To attain your goals, you need to have accurate information.

-Accurate body fat testing will help you set reasonable goals and track progress.
