CHRISTCHURCH · BODY COMPOSITION SCANNING

Body Composition Scan Christchurch

The scale cannot tell you whether what you lost was fat or muscle. A body composition scan in Christchurch using bioelectrical impedance analysis can: lean mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, total body water, and segmental breakdown. Real numbers replace guesswork on what is actually changing.

What it is

A multi-frequency BIA scan delivering a full body composition read in under five minutes. The scan measures lean mass, fat mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat index, total body water, and segmental data (arms, legs, trunk individually). Results are interpreted by qualified coaches against your goals rather than handed over as a printout.

Who it is for

Anyone in Christchurch wanting an objective baseline before starting a nutrition or training programme, ongoing tracking through a fat-loss or muscle-gain phase, and women in perimenopause or post-menopause where scale weight masks what is actually changing. Particularly useful for adults over 40 tracking sarcopenia risk and for clients on GLP-1 medications protecting lean mass.

What you get

The work, plainly listed.

  • Multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance scan
  • Lean mass, fat mass, body fat percentage
  • Visceral fat index
  • Segmental data: arms, legs, trunk individually
  • Total body water and intracellular versus extracellular split
  • Coached interpretation against your goals, not just a printout
Why Christchurch

Local context matters.

Scanning happens on-site at the Inception Group premises, 65 Blenheim Road, Addington. The same scanner is used for our coaching clients on a monthly cadence, which means the equipment is calibrated, the team knows how to read what it produces, and you can stand it alongside the trends our existing client base has produced. Walk-in scans are available alongside the full coaching programmes.

Stop guessing.

Common questions

Questions worth answering up front.

Multi-frequency BIA passes safe, low-level electrical signals through the body. The signals travel differently through lean tissue, fat tissue, and water. The scanner uses those differences to calculate fat mass, lean mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and total body water, with a segmental breakdown showing where each sits.

DEXA is the lab gold standard. Multi-frequency BIA is the practical standard for ongoing tracking. Modern multi-frequency scanners produce reliable trend data, particularly when scan conditions are kept consistent (time of day, hydration, food intake). For tracking change month-to-month, BIA is the right tool. For a single absolute reading, DEXA edges it.

Best practice is consistent scan conditions: ideally first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom, before food or fluid, and not immediately after exercise. The exact protocol matters less than keeping it consistent across scans so the trend reads cleanly.

Monthly is the cadence we use for coaching clients. That gives you a clean signal on whether the programme is doing what it should. More frequent scanning produces noise without much added information. Less frequent scanning misses adjustments that should have happened earlier.

Single-scan and scan-package pricing is set on enquiry depending on whether you are running the full coaching programme (scans included), a longevity programme client (monthly scans included), or a standalone walk-in scan.
