A body composition analysis provides a detailed breakdown of your body, including fat (including body fat percentage), muscle, and water levels. This helps give a more accurate and thorough picture than the number on a standard weighing scales. Using our advanced, medical grade body composition analyser, we offer you precise insights into your body’s composition in just minutes.
1. Do I need to prepare for the analysis?
For the most accurate results:
2. Is it safe for everyone?
The analysis is non-invasive and safe for most people. However, it’s not suitable for:
3. How often should I get a body composition analysis?
This depends on your goals, but we recommend every 4–6 weeks for those actively tracking progress.
4. What is a body impedance analyser, and how does it work?
A body composition analyser uses safe, low-level electrical signals to measure the resistance and reactance of your body. This data is then used to calculate various metrics, such as fat percentage, muscle mass, and hydration levels.
5. Will I need to undress for the analysis?
No, the analysis can be done fully clothed. However, for best results, we recommend wearing light, non-bulky clothing and removing socks and shoes.
6. How long does the appointment take?
The appointment takes 15 minutes, but the body composition analysis itself takes less than 1 minute.
7. Can children or teens use the body analyser?
Yes, children and teens can benefit from a body composition analysis. However, we tailor our guidance for younger individuals and their growth stages.
8. Can I do a body composition analysis if I’m on my period?
Yes, but hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle can temporarily affect your hydration levels and body composition readings. For consistency, we recommend scheduling your appointments at the same point in your cycle.
9. Will I need a follow-up consultation?
It’s optional, but many clients find it helpful to have a follow-up consultation with a Registered Dietitian. This provides a deeper understanding of the results and personalised advice tailored to your health and wellness goals.
10. Can I bring a friend or family member to my appointment?
Of course! You’re welcome to bring someone along for support. However, due to space constraints, we recommend limiting additional attendees to one person.
