Why weight alone doesn’t tell the full story

Have you stepped on the scales, seen a number, and still had no idea what it really means for your health?

That’s because true fitness isn’t just about weight, it’s also about what’s happening beneath the surface.

  • Fast-track your fitness and wellness goals with confidence

Step 2 – How to prepare

To get the best results from your scan or assessment:

  • Bring any recent blood test or blood pressure results
  • Wear tight-fitting Lycra or suitable underwear (no loose clothing)
  • Stay well hydrated
  • Avoid exercise:
    • 3 hours before a 3D body scan
    • 24 hours before a full metabolic assessment
  • Eat one light meal or fast before a 3D scan
  • For a metabolic assessment: fast for 12 hours and avoid caffeine beforehand

What to expect – 3D & Bio-Impedance Scan

  • The scan takes place in a private area of Body Torque Gym
  • You’ll have a few minutes in private to change (if required)
  • Alex Flint will complete the scan within around 15 minutes
  • You’ll then have time to change into comfortable clothing (if required)
  • At a minimum, you’ll receive a 15-minute interpretation of your results
  • If you’ve booked the consultation option, Alex will also provide expert advice on your next steps

What to Expect – Full Metabolic Assessment

This test has two parts:

Step 1 – Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

      • Performed lying still with a specialist mask for 10–15 minutes
      • Measures how many calories your body burns at rest

      Step 2 – VO₂ Max Test

      • Done on a treadmill or bike while wearing the same mask
      • Measures your aerobic fitness as you exercise to your physical limit

      As part of your body composition and metabolic testing, your results are sent to a lab for analysis. You’ll receive a full metabolic report plus recommendations based on your findings.

      After your Scan and/or Assessment

      What you take away depends on the service you’ve booked:

      • At minimum: results emailed as a PDF
      • With consultation/assessment: a summary of insights, recommendations, and next steps in PDF format. Alex Flint will also guide you through your results so you can apply them in your training and lifestyle
