The scanner is more consistent than using a tape measure and will give repeatable measurements. The scanner software uses sophisticated shape analysis to ensure that measurements are taken accurately each time. Tape measurement depends greatly on the measurer and it has been shown that there is great variation between measurers, this is eliminated by using the scanner.

By just e-mailing your scan to us we can produce a personalised report for you showing how your measurements are changing over time during your diet / fitness programme.

Waist to Hip ratio has been shown over the last 10 years to be a very good predictor of heart disease. The main problem with this ratio is that the difference between healthy and risk factor is small & if taken incorrectly can give you the wrong answer. Therefore it is very important that the measurements are taken accurately. The scanner can do this in an accurate and consistent manner giving you a very accurate waist to hip ratio.

We can calculate your Body Mass Index easily and you can track this along with your measurements

Weight is the main tool used to assess progress during a weight loss / fitness programme. Fat is less dense than muscle and as you lose fat and gain muscle there comes a time during a fitness programme that your weight loss may stop & even start putting on weight. It is at this time that a lot of people lose faith and give in. But you may well still be getting fitter and losing fat and getting smaller. Using our tracking service you can see how your body measurements have changed and keep your motivation.
