ands up if you are still trying to reach those fitness resolutions you promised yourself at the stroke of midnight 2021/2022? Well, look. No judgement here, because same. So to convince you (and us) to kick-start those resolutions back into gear we spoke to Evolt 360 Co-Founder, Kelly Weideman on her journey to building the body composition scanner (AKA your fitness saviour) globally and what her local loves are! How long have you been a Gold Coast local? 13 years. Tell us a bit about you. Originally from South Africa, my family immigrated to Canada when I was a teenager and I arrived in Australia in 2008 with my sister for a holiday looking for adventure and fell in love with the Gold Coast! Many years later I am now an Australian citizen. I have travelled all over the world and the GC is my favourite place I have ever been to, it offers everything you could possibly need and want; sunshine, beautiful beaches, vibrant cafe culture… Explain to us what The Evolt 360 is. The Evolt 360 is a medically graded body composition scanner that uses bioelectrical impedance technology to provide a user with important information about a user’s internal body metrics. Unlike a standard scale, the Evolt 360 can tell you more about what your weight is made up of, like Skeletal Muscle Mass, Total 12 | insidegoldcoast.com.au
Body Water and Total Body Fat and distinguish between internal body fat and visible body fat which is essential information when trying to change body composition. It is impossible to know whether your training or nutrition efforts are working in your favour just by using the weight figure on the scale. What makes The Evolt 360 superior to other body composition analysers out there? The Evolt 360 body scanner is non-invasive, doesn’t require you to remove your clothing, takes less than 60 seconds and provides an individualised report with over 40 metrics. It is digitally connected to a user-facing app where users can track and monitor their progress; re-assess their requirements, view the extensive education around their body composition metrics and other features of our Evolt Active app. The Evolt 360 is the only body composition scanner that gives you macronutrient recommendations based on your goals and individual body composition. What’s the benefit of people understanding their body composition? Not knowing your starting point or understanding what you need to do is like trying to locate a new destination without using a GPS guide or set of directions. Traditionally most people use a standard weight scale that can’t tell you whether you are losing body fat or losing muscle mass.
