Evolt-360 Body Composition Scan
Stop guessing what changed.
The scale tells you one number and it lies to you constantly. Sixty seconds on the Evolt 360 tells you whether the weight you lost was fat or muscle, where your muscle actually sits, and what your body is carrying around your organs.
WHY IT MATTERS HERE
Weight might be one of the least useful number about your body.
Two people can weigh the same and be in completely different physical situations. One is carrying thirty pounds of muscle the other does not have. One is storing fat around their organs and one is not. The bathroom scale cannot tell them apart, and neither can a mirror on a good day.
This matters more the older you get. After forty, the default trajectory is losing muscle slowly while gaining fat slowly, and the scale can sit perfectly still through all of it. By the time weight moves, years have passed. A scan catches that trade in eight weeks instead of eight years.
It also settles arguments. When someone tells us their training is not working because the scale has not moved, we can usually show them it moved four pounds of muscle onto their frame and took five pounds of fat off.
That is not a consolation prize.
That is the whole goal.
WHAT do we learn
The numbers that actually change what we do.
The Evolt reports more than forty measurements. These are some of the ones your coach will use.
LEAN MUSCLE:
How much you have, and where.
Skeletal muscle mass is the number we care most about, because muscle is the tissue that carries you into your seventies. Segmental analysis breaks it down by arms, legs, and trunk, which is how we find imbalances you cannot feel yet.
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Lean body mass
- Segmental muscle
FAT:
How much, and the kind that matters
Total fat mass and body fat percentage are the familiar numbers. Visceral fat is the important one. That is the fat stored around your organs rather than under your skin, and it is the measurement most closely tied to metabolic health.
- Fat mass
- Body fat percentage
- Visceral fat
HYDRATION:
Water, inside and outside the cell
Total body water and the split between intracellular and extracellular fluid. Useful on its own, and necessary context for reading everything else, because a dehydrated scan reads differently than a hydrated one.
- Total body water
- Cellular hydration
What a scan is, and what it is not:
Most places selling body scans will not tell you this part. It is the part that determines whether the number is worth anything.
WHAT IT IS EXCELLENT AT
- Tracking change in you, over time, under the same conditions
- Separating fat loss from muscle loss when the scale moves
- Catching a downward muscle trend early, while it is still easy to reverse
- Giving your coach a real basal metabolic rate to build nutrition on
- Finding side to side and upper to lower imbalances
WHAT IT IS NOT
- It is not a DEXA scan. This is bioelectrical impedance, which reads your body by passing a small current through hand and foot electrodes
- The single absolute number is less reliable than the trend. Compare your scan to your last scan, not to someone else's
- It is affected by hydration, food, alcohol, and recent training, which is why the preparation below is not optional
- It is not a medical diagnosis and no one here will treat it as one
- It is not a verdict on you. It is a starting point
Single Scan:
The number, on its own.
Sixty seconds, forty plus measurements, results in your phone before you leave, and a coach to read them with you. For when you know what you are doing and just want to know where you stand. Also how you check in every eight to twelve weeks once you have a baseline.
