The questions we actually get.

Hydrostatic body fat testing, or underwater weighing, is the immersion of the body in water to get the most precise measurement of body fat percentage. It is based on the Archimedes principle: bone, muscle and connective tissue, known as lean mass, sinks while body fat floats.

The test is done in a four-foot by eight-foot tank kept between 90 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Your height, weight and ankle are measured. You lie face down on the underwater scale and exhale at your own pace until you are submerged. The professional takes a reading, taps you on the shoulder and you come up. This is usually done three to five times.

Resting Metabolic Rate is how many calories your body burns in a 24-hour period at rest. The test is as easy as breathing into a tube for fifteen minutes, and the result is used to calculate calorie zones for weight loss and maintenance.

VO2 sub-max testing measures the rate at which you consume oxygen during exercise. It provides overall cardiovascular fitness level, personal target heart-rate zones, calories burned in those zones, anaerobic threshold and how well your body recovers.

The medical Body Composition Analyzer (mBCA) by seca breaks weight into fat mass, fat-free mass, body water (extracellular and intracellular) and skeletal muscle mass. Measurements are processed by six analytical modules and take 17 seconds.
