If you have a hard time stepping onto the scale, imagine stepping into the Bod Pod...
The Bod Pod is the latest in measuring body composition. Instead of underwater weighing, skin fold and circumference measuring or even a scale, your doctor (or personal trainer) may ask you to step inside the Bod Pod. This futuristic contraption will measure your body composition (fat mass and lean mass) in about 5 minutes flat.
There is something about this that totally reminds me of that look into the future ride at Epcot circa 20 years ago and I can't stop saying the name, Bod Pod, Bod Pod... However, this is actually a great device for fitness professionals. Don't be replacing your bathroom scale/body fat measurer just yet, because aside from the fact that it is absolutely huge, the Bod Pod is a bit on the pricey side. About $42,000 on the pricey side. Yikes -- I'll be sticking to the old fashioned ways myself, but you can check it out at BodPod.com.
OMG! How the heck do you read my mind Fit? I just googled not three days ago BodPod.com because I want to find a location to get a body fat percentage measurement in SF. I couldn't find a location only sales people. But geez, collective unconscious - everyone gets the same thought at the same time.
I found a place in Oakland that does underwater weight measuring for $75. Supposed 99.9% accurate including body fat measurement. I'm going to treat myself for my birthday.
