The BOD POD is a fast, safe and very accurate tool to measure your weight, muscle mass and body fat percentage using air displacement.
What is a BOD POD?
A pod bod is a egg looking pod which uses air displacement to measure your weight, muscle mass and body fat percentage. Yes we do know it looks like a car from the Jetson's ;) It is the most accurate, fast and safe tool on the market for measuring your lean muscle mass and body fat percentage.
Why would I use a BOD POD?
A generic bathroom scale can't tell you what percentage of your weight is muscle and what is fat. Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain muscle, tone up, compete in a fitness competition or you play competitive sports having an accurate bench mark of your health is imperative. The alternative to the accuracy of the BOD POD is hydrostatic body composition (under water testing) which is not as cost effective or time efficient as the BOD POD.
Who can use the BOD POD?
Anyone can use the machine it is completely safe. It is also a favorite amongst professional basketball and football players because it can test anyone up to 7 feet tall and 550 pounds accurately.
How long does a test take?
Each test takes 10-15 minutes but allow for 25-30 minutes for changing etc..
How often should I get a BOD POD test done?
It is up to you depending on your health goals but we recommend 1 test per month.
What do I wear during my test?
Wear minimal, form-fitting clothing such as a Lycra® or Spandex® swimsuit during testing. Single-layer compression shorts and/or lightweight jog bras are also acceptable clothing (without padding or wires). Clothing, hair, jewelry, and eyeglasses can have a significant impact on the volume and mass measurements performed during a BOD POD test. Therefore, it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that all subjects tested in the BOD POD remove all jewelry and eyeglasses. You will be given a cap to cover your head.

YES. Check out the doc section or our website for info.
