Why You Should Be Using the InBody Scanner

If you're serious about your health and fitness, tracking progress is essential but the scale alone doesn’t tell the whole story. That’s where the InBody Scanner comes in.

**Stepping on the scale but taking it next level.**

The InBody scanner breaks down muscle, fat, and more—giving you real data to fuel real progress.

What is an InBody Scanner?

The InBody Scanner is a professional-grade body composition analyzer that provides a detailed breakdown of what your body is made of. It goes far beyond weight, giving you insights into your muscle mass, body fat, water retention, and more allowing you to train smarter, not just harder.

Unlike traditional body fat tests or BMI calculators, the InBody scan uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to accurately measure different components of your body. In just 45 seconds, you get a full-body report that can guide your training, nutrition, and recovery.

Top 5 Metrics to Track on the InBody Scan

Here are the key metrics you’ll want to monitor over time:

Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM): Tells you how much lean muscle you’re building vital for strength and metabolism.
Body Fat Percentage (PBF): A more meaningful measure than weight alone; helps assess fat loss progress.
Visceral Fat Level: Fat stored around your organs too much here increases health risks.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): How many calories your body burns at rest key to dialing in your nutrition.
Segmental Lean Analysis: Breaks down muscle mass in each limb and your trunk to detect imbalances or areas that need attention.

Reviewing InBody results means understanding your body

How Often Should You Get a Scan?

We recommend getting an InBody scan every 4–6 weeks. This gives your body enough time to show measurable changes and helps you assess if your current training and nutrition are working.

What Are the Benefits of an InBody Scan?

Data-driven feedback: Know exactly what’s changing in your body.
Custom goal setting: Build muscle, lose fat, or rebalance specific areas with precision.
Motivation boost: See progress beyond just pounds on the scale.
Identify plateaus: Catch issues early and adjust your approach as needed.
Track hydration and inflammation: Ideal for athletes or anyone optimizing performance and recovery.

Why Is the InBody an Important Tool?

The InBody scan is more than just a fitness gadget it’s a powerful accountability tool. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned athlete, knowing your body composition helps you make smarter decisions that lead to better results.

Instead of guessing if something’s working, now you’ll know.

Best Time of Day to Do a Scan

For the most accurate results, schedule your scan:

In the morning, before eating or drinking
After using the restroom
Before your workout, not after (to avoid skewed hydration/muscle data)

Consistency is key. Try to do your scans at the same time of day and under similar conditions each time.
