Last month I was in London & went to experience the BodyScan test with Director Philip Chant. I was unsure what to expect aside from measuring my body fat to muscle ratio. However the whole experience gave me so many more insights around body fat and lean mass, to bone density, muscle mass & distribution of my body fat and muscle.

Philip is brilliant at putting you at ease, explaining everything and giving tangible advice to help you improve your quality of health and wellness, sports performance. It is an accessible tool for everyone and can help with a broad range of goals from weight loss to sports performance. Traditionally people may feel it’s only for sports performance, but Philip explained many of his returning customers had significant weight loss & wellbeing goals to improve the quality of their life.

A tool Philip used routinely whilst working in Australia, is relatively new here in the format he uses. The testing is accredited and checked by all the appropriate governing bodies, and the information given is so valuable.

With my scans it highlighted a weakness of muscle strength in certain areas, I found this to be really useful in creating a specific plan as I begin the early stages of perimenopause. I’m looking forward to seeing how things change & definitely would recommend.

I feel it is a tool which working together with Philip and myself, a trainer or just through his guidance it could add significant benefits to your health.
