A member of our team will contact the participant after they register to set up their one-on-one consultation meeting.

InBody Analysis

Body Composition Analyzer from Biospace

Monitoring your weight is not enough. It can be misleading when used as an indicator of progress and health. Your body is a complex structure made of different components: water, fat and muscle. In 30 seconds, you will receive a detailed results sheet of the components that are the key in understanding more about your body. It is a more accurate method of bio-impedance analysis, and it is 98% accurate to the dexa scan.
