Don't waste your money
First of all, I am a personal trainer as well as a student in exercise physiology, and I have worked in movement science labs and nutrition labs with very accurate equipment. I say this to add credibility to the review I am about to write. I originally purchased this product in hopes of getting more accurate body fat measurements for both myself and my clients. The problem with most foot scale based or handheld BIA products is that they can be up to 5-10% off. The idea behind this "whole body" BIA product is to get a more accurate reading, but in reality it is WILDLY inaccurate. I am a fairly lean individual and a rather muscular athlete, yet it put me at 25% bodyfat and very low muscle mass. I had my female friend, another lean athlete, use the scale and she was put at 40% bodyfat. This is over 15% off from all other BIA products she has used. In summary, the scale portion works fine but the actual BIA system, which I assume is what you're really looking for when purchasing this product, is wildly inaccurate and simply does not work. Please do not waste your money.
