InBody Scan

Household body-fat scales are convenient but only provide rough estimates, and here’s why:

Most home devices measure through two foot electrodes only – they capture the lower body while the arms and torso remain largely unmeasured.They rely on simplified algorithms and reference tables (age, sex, height) to estimate your fat or muscle percentage rather than truly measure it. These formulas aren’t validated for different body types or training backgrounds.
As a result, readings fluctuate easily depending on hydration, meal timing, temperature, or physical activity – sometimes showing 10–30 % deviation from professional reference methods.
The InBody device, on the other hand, is a high-quality medical-grade system, used in hospitals like the Charité and by professional sports teams such as Bundesliga football clubs.

It uses eight electrodes (hands and feet) and multi-frequency currents to analyse different tissue layers and measure each body segment individually.
It also evaluates the phase angle to assess cell integrity, providing a medically validated full-body analysis – precise, reproducible and independent of guesswork.

Unlike typical home scales, InBody does NOT use estimated values based on age or gender.
Only the actual impedance and reactance data are used – no empirical equations, no assumptions.

In short:

InBody measures – home scales guess.

The Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measures the electrical resistance of your body.
From these raw data points, the system calculates the proportions of fat, muscle, water and cellular structure.
The method is scientifically validated and widely used in medical diagnostics and sports science.

The phase angle indicates how efficiently your cells store and transfer energy – it reflects cell health, recovery capacity and nutritional status.
A higher phase angle means healthy, intact cell membranes; a lower one may indicate stress, inflammation or malnutrition.
It’s a key indicator for holistic fitness and is only available through professional analysis systems such as InBody.

Absolutely. The InBody scan uses very weak electrical currents – completely painless, with no radiation and no needles.

• People with pacemakers or implanted electronic devices
• Pregnant women, since results can be affected by fluid shifts

If in doubt, please consult your doctor before booking.

What really matters is consistency, not frequency.
Body composition changes gradually – meaningful differences in fat, muscle or water become visible only after several weeks.

A single scan is interesting; regular scans are transformative.

Recommended intervals:

• Every 3–6 months to monitor your overall development
• Before and after any major training or nutrition changes (e.g. weight-loss or muscle-gain phases)
• Before a challenge, after 4–8 weeks for progress, and after 3–6 months for long-term analysis

Think of it as your body diary – objective data showing what your training and lifestyle truly achieve.

For reliable comparisons:

• Same time of day
• Similar food & hydration state
• No hard training the day before
• Same clothing / no jewellery

You’ll get your full report immediately after the scan in the InBody App (free for you).
All results are saved automatically and can be viewed as a progress chart.
If you prefer, we can also send you a PDF report by email.

Repeat conditions are key for meaningful progress tracking:

• Avoid unusual activity
• alcohol or sauna the day before
• measure before training
• keep timing consistent
• empty stomach & bladder
• light clothing
• avoid lotion on hands and feet

No. The 4-scan package is personal and non-transferable.
Each person needs their own account and package.

The InBody scan is not a simple bathroom-scale reading – it’s a medical-grade diagnostic procedure using multi-frequency currents and eight electrodes.
Each segment (arms, legs, torso) is analysed separately, and over 40 parameters are calculated, including muscle-fat distribution, water balance and cell health.

The device itself costs as much as a small car, and monthly software licences ensure you get your results instantly and digitally via the app.
We also schedule dedicated time slots, train our team, and provide personal guidance for every scan.

In short:

You’re not getting a number – you’re getting a professional full-body analysis, usually found only in medical settings.

Because body composition isn’t static or perfectly measurable day to day – and because you are more than a number.

Even though InBody is highly precise, natural fluctuations occur due to:

• hydration levels
• time of your last meal
• training or sleep quality
• hormonal factors

Small changes (under ~2 %) are usually within normal variation and shouldn’t be over-interpreted.

What truly matters is your overall trend – and how you feel in your body:

Do you feel stronger, healthier, more confident? Are your training and performance improving?

Whether you have 14 % or 15 % body fat doesn’t change much.
But moving from 25 % to 20 % shows real transformation – and that’s what counts.

Use the scan to understand your development, not to stress over decimal points.

Absolutely! Everyone’s welcome – members, class-card users, friends, family, colleagues or externals.
