Has anyone tried the Styku, Inbody, or Fit3d body fat machines? Is it worth the $5000+ to invest for a pt gym?

I’m thinking of investing in a body fat analyzer with the 3d scan that measures your body. Has anyone tried or owns one and which do you recommend? Thanks.

Hello Danny Oh,
No, nor would I at this stage of my business. Doing hands on fat measurement compares well to the machines. You will need to weigh the pros and cons to decide if this is a necessity for your clients to get results and drive them into your door.
Take care,

I’ve had access to a BodPod in the past. It was really cool and supposedly state of the art for accuracy. That said, for th eexpense, you’d have to sell an awful lot of bodyfat testing…

Hi Danny,

I had a Futrex for the last 20 years, and it is now at a point in its life where I need to get it repaired or replaced. If I can get it repaired for a reasonable price, I will do this but I will not invest in a new machine.

I am finding that accurate body composition data is not all that important for the type of clients I train. Having said that, if you deal with athletes, it may be a worthwhile investment.

I have had access to various analyzing equipment over the years. There was a mobile program that came around to facilities when I lived near Boulder, CO. Interest seemed so so. I would definitely try to get feed back from Adina above on what she charges and how her cost to profit margin is doing. I would be interested as well and will follow your question. The margin would have to be considerable to lay out $5000 on something with limited daily use.
