What: Assessment of the tissues in your body, hydration status, and relative composition of different limbs.

How: Using bioelectrical impedance, we pass a small electrical current through your body while you stand stationary on a set of scales. The amount of resistance that the current meets in various sections of your body will allow it to calculate what tissues (muscle, bone, fat) make up that area.

Why: Understanding the composition of your body can help you keep track of training progress (e.g., muscle mass, body fat %). It can also highlight imbalances between dominant and non-dominant muscles.
