Body composition assessment

• BodPod assessment - £40 
• Skinfold assessment + Somatotype profiling (assessment of body shape) - £50

Using our brand-new body composition analyser, the “Bod-Pod GS-X”, we can assess the make-up of your body by using your mass and volume to calculate your body density and body fat percentage. This will enable you to ascertain your current body fat percentage, and in-turn, your fat-free mass which includes muscle, water, bone, and internal organs.

As an alternative you can also have your body composition assessed by one of our trained sport scientists using skinfold callipers. This method assesses the skinfold thickness, so that the total amount of body fat you have can be calculated and know where it is located.

This service is aimed towards a range of athletes including but not limited to; combat athletes, cyclists, runners, team sports… However, it can also be used by any individual from young to old and from lean to obese, who is interested in learning more about their body.

This test is safe, highly accurate, and quick, taking only around 30 minutes for a full consultation.
