Bod Pod Body Composition-U of M

Body composition refers to the amount of fat mass and fat-free mass that comprise total body mass.  The BodPod uses measurements of body volume and mass to precisely calculate amounts of fat and fat-free mass.

The 2bassessment will allow you to:

  • Accurately measure body fat percentage – a key metric of overall health and fitness.
  • Track changes over time in fat mass and fat-free mass.
  • Calculate resting metabolic rate as well as total calories burned per day at four different levels of physical activity.

An individual BodPod assessment takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.  The Personal Training program offers both individual assessments and group assessments.  Under the group assessment structure, we can complete up to 5 assessments in one hour.  Group assessments are offered at a rate of $100 per hour.  If you would like additional information about group assessments, or if you would like to schedule a group assessment, please contact  Kevin Widmer at widme024@umn.edu.

My Review:
The BodPod is an awesome tool and gives you detailed stats on your fitness journey.
I highly recommend scheduling an appointment at least once a year to check your progress along the way. It is painless and takes less than 15 minutes from the time you enter until you receive your analysis. I’ve done this 3x  and have my next assessment in April.  Stay tuned!
