What Is the InBody Scanner, and why you’ll love using it!

Trying something new can be nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to tools that give us insight into our bodies. If you’ve heard about our new InBody Scanner and are feeling a bit apprehensive, don’t worry! Let me walk you through what it is, why it’s an incredible tool for your health journey, and how it can help us fine-tune your nutrition and fitness goals.

What is an InBody Scanner?

The InBody Scanner is a non-invasive, high-tech device that provides a detailed analysis of your body composition. Unlike a traditional scale, which only tells you your total weight, the InBody Scanner breaks it down into:

  • Muscle mass: How much lean muscle you have, critical for strength and metabolism.
  • Body fat percentage: A better indicator of health than weight alone.
  • Visceral fat: Fat stored around your organs, which is linked to overall health.
  • Water levels: Ensures your body is properly hydrated, which impacts energy, recovery, and performance.

The scan itself is quick, painless, and takes less than a minute. You simply stand on the device, hold onto the handles, and let it do its magic.

Why the InBody Scan is a game-changer

  1. It’s about progress, not perfection
    If you’ve ever felt disheartened by the number on a scale, the InBody Scanner provides a clearer, more accurate picture of what’s really happening in your body. For example, if you’ve gained muscle while losing fat, the scale might not show much change—but the InBody will.
  2. It takes the guesswork out of goal setting
    Having a detailed understanding of your body composition allows us to set realistic, personalised goals. Whether your focus is building strength, improving health markers, or finding balance during midlife changes, the InBody scan gives us the data to guide our plan.
  3. It tracks what matters over time
    Health and fitness are long-term journeys, and changes don’t always happen overnight. By using the InBody scan during goal reviews every three months, we can measure your progress in a meaningful way. It helps us see how your body is adapting and where we might need to make adjustments to keep moving forward.
  4. It supports better nutrition coaching
    In our nutrition coaching sessions every four weeks, the InBody data helps us identify what’s working and what isn’t. For example, if muscle mass isn’t increasing as expected, we might tweak your protein intake or training routine. If hydration is low, we’ll work on strategies to improve it. It’s like having a GPS for your health—clear, actionable, and tailored to you.

Addressing the nerves

It’s normal to feel a little nervous about stepping on the scanner, especially if you’re worried about the results. But remember, the InBody scan isn’t about judgment—it’s about information. This is simply a tool to help you understand your body better and empower you to make informed decisions about your health.

We’re here to guide you through every step of the process, answer any questions, and celebrate every win- big or small.
