Tanita body composition technology

Tanita body scales use advanced technology to add another level to your workout. Tanita technology is available in our leisure centres and can help you track over 10 different measurements to support your fitness journey and give you a much better picture of your health. 

Our Tanita scales can help track your: 

• Body fat mass the weight of fat in your body.
• Segmental body fat percentage the measurement of body fat percentage per part of the body.
• Visceral fat which is found deep in the core of the abdomen. 
• Muscle mass the predicted weight of muscle in your body.
• Segmental muscle mass the amount of muscle per body part.
• Muscle quality score indicates the condition of the muscles. 
• Total body water is the amount of fluid in your body.
• Bone mass is the estimated weight of bone mineral in your body. 
• Body type assess the percentage of muscle and body fat. 
• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum amount of energy or calories your body requires to function effectively at rest. 
• Metabolic rate compares your BMR with the average of your age group. 
• Body Mass Index (BMI) a standardised ration of weight to height. 
• Daily calorie intake (DCI) an estimate of how many calories you can consume within the next 24 hours to maintain your current weight. 
• Resting heart rate can predict cardiovascular health. 

Ask a member of gym staff at your local leisure centre for advice on using the Tanita scales.
