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.

At Body Torque, we provide body composition and metabolic testing in Newmarket through 3D & Bio-Impedance scans and Full Metabolic Assessments to give you a clearer picture of your internal health. With these insights, you can:

  • Make smarter choices
  • Overcome hidden challenges
  • 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
