Body Fat Testing

State-of-the-Art Body Fat Testing

Body Composition Tracking System

Antonio’s Training Systems uses the BOD POD—a state-of-the-art body fat assessment machine—to measure exact body fat and track progress over time. It’s the most accurate technology available, and it’s used by the NFL combine, pro sporting teams, and the Mayo Clinic.

A full test requires only about 10 minutes and provides highly accurate, safe, comfortable, and fast test results.

Lower Body Fat Equals Better Health

Why Get a Body Composition Test?

Oftentimes, the scale you step on at home or in the doctor’s office doesn’t give you the full picture of what is going on in your body. A lower number on the scale might bring a smile to your face, but it could be an indication of a loss of lean body mass, and not fat.

When people say they want to “lose weight,” what they really mean is that they want to lose fat. Your body fat percentage is simply the percentage of fat your body contains, and the BOD POD will give you an extremely accurate measurement.

Knowing your body composition can be powerful knowledge because it can help you adjust your lifestyle, diet and exercise regimen to maximize results.

By increasing your lean body mass, you can improve your body’s fat burning efficiency and your overall health. Find out your body fat percentage now and start getting the results you deserve.
