Body composition

The skinfold assessment is a great way of accurately measuring body fat percentage, lean body mass percentage and give you an estimated basal metabolic rate (BMR) – all of which can help you achieve your body composition goal.

Skinfold assessment

The thickness of seven skinfolds at specific locations on the body are measure using precise callipers. The thickness of these folds is a measure of the subcutaneous adipose tissue (fat beneath the skin).

All skinfold tests are carried out by ISAK-accredited anthropometrics. Your follow up report consists of:

  • Body fat %
  • Lean mass %
  • Sum of seven skinfolds
  • Estimated basal metabolic rate (BMR)

Prices

  • Skinflod assessment (30-minutes): £50 (£55 at peak times)
