A bathroom scale gives you total weight. An InBody test provides estimates of the components behind that number, including skeletal muscle, body fat, and body water. At Saddlebrooke Strength, the $25 appointment includes an InBody 380 test and an InGrip hand-strength measurement.
What happens at the appointment?
Plan for a five-minute appointment. You remove your shoes and socks, stand on the analyzer, and hold its handles while the measurement is taken. The grip test adds a strength baseline you can compare at future visits. Tell Abel beforehand about any hand, wrist, elbow, or shoulder pain that could affect gripping.
Prepare for a useful comparison
Results are easier to compare when your testing conditions are similar. Follow the preparation instructions on our InBody testing page before your visit.
- Leave at least three hours after eating before testing.
- Test before exercise and after you have fully recovered from prior workouts.
- Keep your normal hydration routine rather than drinking a large amount just before the test.
- Use the restroom beforehand and wear clothing that lets you remove shoes and socks easily.
- For follow-up visits, aim for a similar time of day and similar preparation.
Read the results as a baseline
Look at muscle, body fat, and body water together rather than focusing on a single score. Hydration and testing conditions can affect the estimates. A change on one visit does not necessarily mean a lasting change in muscle or fat. Consistent preparation and trends across visits give you a more useful picture.
Check suitability before booking
Do not take the test if you have a pacemaker or another implanted or essential electronic medical device. Testing is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are unsure whether testing is appropriate for you, ask your healthcare professional before booking. The test supports fitness tracking and is not a medical diagnosis.
