Gain valuable insights and take your results to the next level
Whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain muscle or improve your fitness, you want to make sure that your efforts are paying off. In the past you may have used BMI (body mass index) or the bathroom scales to determine whether you’re making good progress, but these methods don’t provide you with accurate, comprehensive and meaningful insights into your body’s composition.
The InBody 570 provides a detailed breakdown including body fat percentage, muscle mass, water distribution and more to help you get a better picture of your current health. Together with your personal trainer or dietitian, you can use this information to identify areas to improve on when it comes to your fitness and nutrition. Get the information you need to take your results to the next level.

How Does the InBody 570 scan work?
InBody devices use direct segmental measurement bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-BIA), a patented technology, to measure body composition by sending multiple electrical currents through the body, resulting in separate readings for the trunk and each of the four limbs. The in-depth analysis gives precise results for body composition outputs, such as body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, (segmental) lean body mass, and percent body fat.
Using multiple frequencies improves the precision. At single, low frequencies, it is difficult for electrical currents to penetrate the cellular membrane and assess intracellular water. As frequencies get higher, the electrical current is more capable of penetrating the cellular membrane and precisely measuring intracellular water. This technology makes a huge difference to the accuracy of your scan results.
What is the process for the InBody 570 scan?
The InBody Scan itself only takes a few minutes and there is no requirement to undress, only shoes and socks will need to be removed. Please allow up to 10 minutes for your total appointment.
Following the scan, you will be given a printed copy of your InBody Scan results and a link on how to read and interpret your individual results.

FAQ
How do I book my InBody Scan?
Simple! Just call us on 07 3726 5303 or submit an enquiry on the form above and we will get in contact with you to arrange a time that suits you.
What can affect testing accuracy?
Changes in body composition reflect body status, which may be affected by such things as disease, nutritional status, and medications. Hydration status can also affect body water, and in turn, affect results. Accessories such as jewellery may interfere with the electrical conductivity. As long as testing conditions and the testing environment are kept the same from test to test, the InBody will provide high data reproducibility.
What should I do before my InBody scan?
People should not test while they have a fever, cold, or chill as body composition may not reflect typical body status.
Prior to the test, it is important to go to the bathroom.
People should not test after strenuous exercise or after using a sauna, steam room, or bath.
People should test prior to a meal or two hours after a meal.
Diuretics, such as caffeine, alcohol, and medications should not be taken before the test.
People should make every attempt to be tested under the same conditions, for example, at a consistent time of day.
Can anyone be tested on an InBody Scanner?
People with artificial electrical implants such as a defibrillator or pacemaker should not be tested. Women who are on their menstrual cycle will not get an accurate reading due to subtle changes in hydration and body water levels. We do not recommend pregnant women be tested.
How often can you measure body composition?
Frequency of measurement is fully dependent on each individual or program. We recommend testing every 4-6 weeks.
Is an InBody scan safe?
Yes, the electrical current used in the scans is extremely low, cannot be felt and is not harmful to the body. That being said, people with artificial electrical implants such as a defibrillator or pacemaker should not be tested. We also do not recommend pregnant women be tested.
Do I need to get undressed?
No, unlike other body composition techniques, there is no requirement to undress. Light clothes are preferable. Shoes and socks will need to be removed.
