The Number on the Scale Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story

Have you ever wondered why two people with the same weight can look and feel completely different?

A weighing scale tells you how much you weigh. Body Mass Index (BMI) categorizes that weight based on your height. However, neither can explain what makes up that weight. Two people with the same weight and BMI may have very different body compositions and, therefore, very different nutritional and fitness needs.

What Can a BCA Checkup Reveal?

Body Composition Analysis is a non-invasive assessment that measures different components of the body.

Instead of focusing only on body weight, it provides information about:
