  • 3-Minute Step Test (cardiovascular endurance)
  • Curl-Up Test (muscular endurance)
  • 1- minute push-up Test (muscular strength)
  • Sit and Reach Test (flexibility)

InBody Composition Test

Go beyond the scale with the InBody Composition Test, a non-invasive, quick, and accurate body composition analysis that provides a detailed breakdown of your total weight, between muscle, fat, and water. Your comprehensive yet easy-to-understand measurements will be provided on your InBody Result Sheet.
