What is the InBody Test? New state-of-the-art Body Composition testing with the InBody 570 machine. What does your weight really represent? When you step on a scale, you can’t see how much muscle or fat you have— all you see is a number with no context. Go beyond the scale with the InBody Test, a non-invasive, quick, and accurate body composition analysis that provides a detailed breakdown of your weight in terms of muscle, fat, and water. Your comprehensive yet easy-to-understand measurements will display on an InBody Result Sheet in less than two minutes. No more pinching. No more dunking. Get results you can trust so you can reach your health and fitness goals with precision and actionable objectives.
