Body Composition Assessment

Service Description

What is Body Composition? Body composition simply refers to the content of our bodies, including body mass, fat mass, fat-free mass and body fat (%). This allows us to understand where improvements could be made or provide an accurate snapshot of your current anthropometrics before undergoing any training, diet or intervention. This is especially important when measuring the effectiveness of an intervention, as unlike body mass, which may fluctuate daily, our fat-free mass and body fat (%) are only likely to vary due to true physiological change What are the test procedures? Upon arrival, we will ascertain your reasons for the test and gain a general idea of your future goals. Following this, we will measure your height (cm), body mass (kg) and body fat (%) using clinically validated equipment*. To ascertain true body composition, we will then follow this up with a manual Skinfold Calliper assessment to ensure consistent readings How much is a test, and how do I book? The full cost for a Body Composition Assessment Test is £60; the session will last approximately 1 hour. Following that, we’ll briefly discuss your results and then provide your report & summary via email. Unlike others, we actively encourage you to raise questions and keep in touch! For a small additional fee, we can travel to a location of your choice. *Please note the bio-impedance analyser will pass a small electrical current via electrodes, please warn us if you have any heart-based medical issues (pacemaker, etc.) which may interfere with this.
