The Fit3D scanner is a new tool to measure your body composition, anthropometrics and posture. This is done via scanning your body using state of the art infrared cameras and providing you with a 360-degree view of yourself.   It can also be useful to gauge longer-term change in your body composition.

How accurate is the scanner?

It is likely your results will be slightly higher than previous measures such as the ISAK body fat test.  This primarily due to the Fit3D test conducting a scan of the entire body while other measures only assess a specific site (for example the bicep and triceps).  
Research has found that the Fit3D scanner to produce valid and reliable
results when compared to gold standard measures such as DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans. However, factors such as time of day (morning and
night), food consumption and hydration status can affect results. To reduce
errors in future tests, we recommend you consume foods and fluids that are
closely related to any previous assessments.

What else do I need to know?

Scans need to be done in your underwear.  While scans can be complete in clothing, please know that this will not produce valid result. This is because the
scanners will mould to the contours of your clothing rather than your
skin.  If you do not wish to be scanned in your underwear, please wear tight fitting ‘skins’ for the test.  There is a private area in the fitness testing room where you can change and complete the scan on your own.  The scan itself will only take a few minutes.  Shortly after the scan you will receive a report by email which, if you are happy to share on your phone or webmail, your trainer will be able to help you to interpret.  You will receive another email within 48 hours with your postural report.  If you would like help interpreting this, please let us know and we can make another appointment to help you understand the postural results and to generate a training plan to help address any imbalances if present.

You can make a booking at Rec Centre Reception for any of our fitness services, inlcuding Fit3D Scans. Payment needs to be made prior to any bookings. You can also book via phone on 09 923 4788.
