Features of InBody Testing
45 Second Test | Quickly measure fat mass, muscle mass, and body water levels in less than a minute. No dunking. No pinching. No discomfort. Simply stand on the device and hold the hand electrodes.
No Estimations | Bioelectrical impedance analysis, through safe, low-level currents sent through the hand and foot electrodes, is used to determine your body composition results; no empirical estimations such as gender and age are used or required to predict your body composition.
Take Control of your Health | The InBody accurately measures your body composition showing you valuable information such as skeletal muscle mass, percent body fat, body fat mass, basal metabolic rate, muscle distribution and imbalances for injury prevention and to maximize sport performance, visceral fat level, and monitors changes to determine the efficacy of an exercise program and diet plans to ensure long-term success.
Guidelines for Testing | In order to receive the highest accuracy in testing, there are a few simple guidelines to follow leading up for your appointment such as avoiding eating & exercising at least 3 hours prior and hydrating well the day before. It is also advisable to test at the same time of day for each subsequent scan to ensure consistent results, with first thing in the morning on an empty stomach being the most ideal. Please follow the Preparing for your InBody Test Guidelines.

How to Prepare for InBody test?
Before Appointment
To ensure consistent testing conditions and effective tracking of body composition changes, follow these guidelines before each InBody Test.
Prior to testing, do:
âś…Maintain normal fluid intake the day before and hydrate one hour prior to testing
âś…Test at the same time of the day every time
âś… Use the restroom prior to testing (May skew fat mass/PBF result)
âś… Stand upright for 5-10 minutes prior to testing
âś… Allow 20min for body temp to stabilize after being exposed to cold/hot temperature (May skew fat mass/PBF result)
Prior to testing, do not
❌ Exercise prior to testing (May skew fat mass/PBF or SMM result, Test only after fully recovered (1-3 days)
❌ Eat prior to testing (May skew fat mass/PBF result, Must wait at least 3 hours after last meal)
❌ Wear heavy clothing, accessories, or jewelry while testing (May skew fat mass/PBF result)
❌ Consume alcohol or caffeine 24 hours prior to testing
❌ Have lotion/ointment on hands or feet (May skew fat free mass result)
❌ Wear any socks or pantyhose while testing (May skew fat mass/PBF result)
Testing Considerations:
• Cosmetic Implants (May skew fat mass/PBF result)
• Low carb/Keto Diet (May skew fat mass/PBF result)
• Metal Implants (May skew fat-free mass result)
Any skewed results will be consistent from test to test, so we recommend using your initial test as a baseline for tracking your body composition over time.
