Bioimpedance Analyzer
If you are serious about being healthy there are many
factors that are important and should be monitored on a
regular basis. Some of these important health monitoring
items are; Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Body Fat %, Lean
Muscle Mass, BMI (Body Mass Index), BMR (Basal Metabolic
Rate), TBW (Total Body Water) and more. Many people do
not have the time or their insurance will not cover
on-going testing that will help you know if your
exercise program is beneficial. Urban Fitness has
added a new service to help you monitor your goals; for
only $20 you can have the following tests performed by
one of our Certified Personal Trainers.*
In less than 10 minutes you can learn more about your
current health and, if needed, we can help answer any
questions to make your exercise and diet more
productive. We will start by taking your Blood
Pressure and Pulse and then connect you to the BIA 310
Bioimedance Analyzer through standard ECG sensor pad
electrodes. Resistance and reactance, the two components
of impedance, are measured directly from the body. Using
regression analysis, the analyzer computes:
- Fat-Free Mass (or Lean Body Weight)
- Fat Mass (or Fat Body Weight)
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- Total Body Water (TBW)
- TBW/Body Weight
- TBW/Fat-Free Mass
- Blood Pressure
- Accurate Weight
- Heart Rate
Results are printed out and you can take the results
to your doctor or we can put them in your member file
for comparison upon your next testing, we recommend once
every 6-12 weeks so you can adjust your training and
diet based on the information provided.
*Urban Fitness and the BIA 310
Bioimpedance Analyzer will not diagnose disease or
recommend treatment regimens, or quantify treatment
effectiveness. Only a qualified health care professional
can make these judgments.
