BODITRAX - Everything you need to know.

Research shows that in order to successfully improve your chances of attaining your goals, it’s important to track and monitor your progress. That’s why we introduced the Boditrax to Highgrove pool and fitness centre. 

Boditrax is an app that links with a Tanita body scanner. The  Boditrax device uses electrical signals to test for body fat, muscle mass, bone density and a multitude of other variables indicative of fitness levels and progress.

One of the most interesting variables is the ability to calculate an estimated metabolic age and resting metabolic rate. 

The resting metabolic rate (RMR) supports you more than just some numbers on a screen in the gym. RMR is how many calories your body burns if it were to remain at rest each day. In other words, how much energy your body requires to survive. 

Visiting the gym and working with our expert fitness instructors, with programmes via the mywellness app, is only 10% of the journey. RMR dictates the minimum requirement for calorie intake per day, and will be an integral metric for anyone who intends to build muscle mass and strength in the refurbished weights area, or improve weight loss and cardiovascular fitness with the most up to date Technogym equipment. 

RMR will support you in delivering on the lifestyle changes encouraged by the fitness experts at our centre, by providing a guideline for planning your daily meals and understanding how your body responds to your training.

 Whether you attend our range of fitness classes, go for a dip in our pool or hit the gym, the Boditrax can breakdown your anatomy and identify any physicality’s that may be holding you back. It does this by providing a segmental analysis of the body in 3 portions, the torso, upper limbs and lower limbs.If injuries have held you back, this is a useful tool for understanding how your body functions and our instructors can guide you through developmental programmes to improve your training. 

Coming soon will be the enhanced and upgraded Technogym mywellness platform which will allow our instructors to manually input your results from the Boditrax device, and add bespoke training regimes with video demonstrations to help you achieve your goals. More on the Mywellness app will be shared soon.

The Boditrax app can be downloaded via Google play or the Apple App Store. The app even provides educational notes for each of the metrics it measures, which will improve your knowledge and understanding of how your training is influencing your success in pursuit of your goals.
