The Benefits of InBody Scans and Tracking Your Fitness Progress

When it comes to fitness, the scale does not tell the full story. At Ampersand Fitness, we believe real progress is about more than just body weight. That is why we offer InBody scans to help members track meaningful changes in their body composition and stay motivated throughout their fitness journey.

What Is an InBody Scan

An InBody scan is a quick, non invasive body composition analysis that provides detailed insights beyond what a regular scale can show. In just a few minutes, the scan measures:

• Body fat percentage

• Skeletal muscle mass

• Total body water

• Fat distribution

• Basal metabolic rate

This data gives a clear picture of how your body is changing as you train, not just how much you weigh.

Why Tracking Progress Matters

Many people get discouraged when the number on the scale does not change, even though they are training consistently. This often happens because fat loss and muscle gain can occur at the same time.

Tracking progress with InBody scans helps you:

• See muscle gain even if weight stays the same

• Identify fat loss trends over time

• Understand how your training program is working

• Stay motivated with measurable results

• 
  

At Ampersand Fitness, progress is about building strength, improving health, and creating sustainable habits.

How InBody scan benefits Support Personal Training

InBody scans are especially valuable when paired with personal training. Our trainers use scan data to better understand your starting point and adjust your program as you progress.

Benefits include:

• More personalized workout programming

• Smarter goal setting based on real data

• Adjustments to training intensity and focus

• Clear progress check ins over time

This allows our trainers to guide you more effectively and help you train with purpose.

Tracking Progress for Weight Loss and Strength Goals

Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle building, or overall wellness, InBody scans provide clarity. Instead of guessing, you can track real changes and make informed decisions about your workouts, recovery, and consistency.

For members focused on weight loss, seeing body fat percentage decrease can be far more motivating than watching the scale alone. For strength focused members, tracking muscle mass growth confirms that training is working.

How Often Should You Get an InBody Scan

Most members benefit from doing an InBody scan every four to six weeks. This allows enough time to see meaningful changes without becoming overly focused on short term fluctuations.

Your trainer can recommend the best schedule based on your goals and training plan.
