What is Bod Pod testing?

A bod pod is a computerized, egg-shaped device that measures your weight and volume to determine your body density and calculate your percentage of body fat. Our experts use this test to help you choose the best nutrition and exercise programs to reach your goals.

What to expect during a Bod Pod test?

A bod pod appointment takes about 30 minutes, which includes time for paperwork, testing, and the explanation of your results. Please plan to sit comfortably and quietly in the bod pod for two scans, which last 50-seconds each. Results are available very quickly and are explained by a healthcare professional.
