Body composition analyzer for gyms: what to look for

A short buyer's guide for gym owners: the questions to ask before you choose an analyzer, and where a 3D scanner fits.

Start with what you want to show members

A body composition analyzer should give members a clear picture and your coaches a starting point. Decide first whether you need composition only, or also posture, circumferences and movement.

The checklist

  • Method: bioelectrical impedance (BIA), optical 3D scanning, or both.
  • Segmental readings: arms, legs and trunk, not only the whole body.
  • Test time and how easy it is for staff to run.
  • Reports members can keep, such as a QR code to their phone.
  • Software, data storage and whether it connects to your member system.
  • Total cost: purchase or lease, plus training and support.

How it earns back
