Body Compositon Testing

Get real insight into your health — beyond the scale

Weight and BMI are often used to measure progress, but they rarely tell the full story. They can’t distinguish between muscle gain and fat loss, don’t show where fat is stored, and often lead people to believe nothing is changing when meaningful progress is happening.

At Empower, we use bioelectrical body composition testing to give you a clearer, more accurate picture of your health — and a smarter way to track change over time.

What Is Body Composition Testing?

Body composition testing measures how your body is made up, not just how much you weigh.

Instead of focusing on total body weight, a body composition scan looks at:

  • Lean muscle mass

  • Body fat mass

  • Body fat percentage

  • Water balance

  • Muscle distribution across different areas of the body

This data helps us understand what is changing in your body — and how to adjust your training or nutrition to support your goals.

How the Body Composition Scan Works

InBody body composition testing machine

Our body composition testing uses a bioelectrical impedance analyzer that is fast, non-invasive, and safe.

Most scans at Empower are led by Coach Amy, our nutrition and lifestyle coach, who will guide you through the process and help you understand your results.

Here's what to expect:

  1. You stand on the device and hold the hand electrodes

  2. A safe, low-level electrical current passes through the body

  3. In about 15 seconds, a detailed report is generated

  4. Coach Amy reviews the results with you and answers your questions

You’ll receive your own copy of the report to keep as a benchmark and reference point.

Why We Don’t Rely on the Scale Alone

The scale can’t tell the difference between:

  • Losing fat

  • Gaining muscle

  • Retaining water

  • Improving body composition without weight change

This is especially important for:

  • Adults over 40

  • People returning to fitness after time away

  • Anyone strength training or resistance training

Body composition testing gives context to your progress — even when the scale doesn’t move.

Is a Membership Required?

No. Body composition testing is:

  • Included in all Empower nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs

  • Available as a standalone service

  • Open to non-members

You can book a body composition scan on its own — no membership required.
