Bod Pod Body Composition Measurements
The Bod Pod is a cabin that uses air displacement technology to get an accurate measure of your muscle to fat ratio, an indicator of overall health.
We use it as a tool for determining your fitness and health baseline and track the fitness improvements you make through one of your own health and fitness programs or one of the programs we offer.
