Body Composition Tracking System

Measuring your body composition in the BOD POD is quick and easy. A complete test, including printed results, takes ten minutes.

The BOD POD is considered the Gold Standard for body composition assessment and is based on the same principle as hydrostatic weighing. The difference is that the BOD POD uses air instead of water to provide the most accurate body composition measurements available today. And best of all, no one gets wet!
