Body Composition
When you step on a traditional scale and see that you’ve lost 2 pounds, what did you really lose? Was it 2 pounds of fat? Muscle? Or are you dehydrated and losing water weight?
At Fit To Be Healthy, we take the guessing out of the equation. We give you access to one of the best body composition testing technologies available, giving you detailed and precise descriptions of your body and your progress. This testing technology differentiates between fat, protein and body water to give you an accurate snapshot of your body composition.
Appointments take 10 to 15 minutes and can be booked online or at the studio.
To get the most accurate results for your body composition testing, please make sure to follow these guidelines:
- Hydrate well the day before.
- Avoid eating 3-4 hours prior to testing.
- Avoid exercising 24 hours prior to testing.
- Avoid consuming alcohol and coffee for 24 hours prior to testing.
- No jewelry, socks, pantyhose and shoes.
- Avoid using lotion or ointment on hands or feet.

Avoid testing if you have medical implants such as pacemakers.
- Subsequent testing should be carried out under similar conditions. (i.e. similar clothing, testing time, before eating or exercising, etc.)
