With InBody, you’ll receive detailed biometric data that goes beyond the scale, breaking down weight into its core components:
Skeletal muscle mass
Basal metabolic rate
Body fat percentage
Subcutaneous fat
Segmental fat analysis
Segmental lean analysis
Total body water
Total body weight
Understanding why body composition is important begins with recognizing its unique role in health assessment. Most diet and fitness goals focus solely on weight loss or gain, but this approach overlooks a crucial factor: body composition.
Measuring your body composition is vital because →
A scale only shows your total weight, but body composition analysis distinguishes between fat mass, muscle mass, and other components, giving a clearer picture of your health.
Traditional methods like BMI can’t show where improvements are happening. Body composition analysis allows you to monitor changes in muscle gain and fat loss over time.
Understanding whether you need to gain muscle or reduce fat helps you focus on goals that directly improve your health and performance.
High body fat percentages, particularly visceral fat, are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health conditions. Measuring body composition can help identify these risks early.
For athletes or fitness enthusiasts, understanding lean muscle mass and fat distribution can enhance performance by tailoring training and nutrition strategies.
The InBody scan is a body composition analysis that measures your body and provides a detailed report. The report includes metrics such as weight, total skeletal muscle mass, total body fat, total body water, and a full segmental muscle and fat analysis.
InBody uses medical-grade bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to deliver non-invasive, precise body composition scans tailored to each unique person.
The scan takes ~60 seconds.
Having a clear understanding of where your fat, muscle, and body levels are empowers you with the data to make positive adjustments in whatever your health goals may be. Looking to lose areas of unwanted fat? Wanting to build muscle? Whatever your fitness goal may be, the InBody Scan is the tool you need to understand your progress.
