Body Composition Testing

A Bod Pod analysis is only $30 at Baseline Fitness.

How to Prepare for a Visit to the Bod Pod®

1. The measurement is taken in a swimsuit (2-piece preferred for women — bra and underwear are fine). Men should wear lycra briefs, liners, or unpadded compression shorts. We have trunks available if needed, and we provide a swim cap.
2. While first thing fasted is ideal, it is not required. Refrain from eating about 3 hours before your visit.
3. Wait at least 1 hour after working out. Elevated breathing and body heat can affect the measurement.
4. You will sit inside the Bod Pod while the technician performs 3 quick tests (40 seconds each).

Additional Tips for Accuracy

1. Try to schedule follow-up visits under the same conditions (time of day, hydration, etc.).
2. First visit takes about 20 minutes. Subsequent visits take about 15 minutes.
3. If your appointment is in the morning, drinking some water is okay — just come on an empty stomach with normal hydration.
4. Smile! This is fun and informative.
