The problem with the scales
Same weight. Completely different bodies.
Your scales give you one number. They add your muscle, fat, water and bone together. So when the number goes down, you don't know if you've lost fat (good) or muscle (not good). When it goes up, you don't know if it's fat – or muscle you've worked hard for.
Person B
Twice the fat, far less muscle.
Illustration only. The scales say these two people are the same. The scan shows they're not.
Why muscle matters
Muscle is your body's engine. Don't lose it by accident.
It burns energy – even at rest
The more muscle you carry, the more energy your body uses just sitting on the couch. Lose muscle and your body needs less food – which is why weight creeps back on after a crash diet.
We lose it as we get older
From around our 30s, most of us slowly lose muscle every year unless we do something about it. You can't see it happening – but it shows up as less strength, worse balance and a slower body.
It helps handle blood sugar
Your muscles soak up a lot of the sugar from the food you eat. Less muscle means less room to store it. That's why doctors and researchers now look at muscle, not just body fat.
And then there's the fat you can't see
Visceral fat is the hidden fat packed around your organs, deep inside your belly. You can look slim and still carry too much of it – and it's the type of fat most linked to health problems. The scan gives you a visceral fat level, so you know where you stand.
Your results, in plain English
What the InBody 270 scan tells you
You get a full results sheet. Here's what's on it – and what it actually means for you.
Weight
The same as your scales – but this time, we break it down.
Muscle
How many kilos of muscle you have. This is the number you want to protect – or build.
Body fat %
How much of your weight is fat, in kilos and as a percentage – and where the healthy range is.
Visceral fat
The hidden fat around your organs, given as a level. Lower is better.
Body water
How much water your body holds. Muscle is mostly water, so this matters more than you'd think.
Left v right balance
Muscle in each arm, each leg and your trunk. Great for spotting a weaker side after an injury.
Calories at rest
Your Basal Metabolic Rate – roughly how many calories your body burns doing nothing at all.
Your score
An overall body composition score out of 100, so you can see at a glance how you're doing.
Targets & history
How much fat to lose or muscle to gain – and a history chart that shows your before and after side by side.
Your full body report
Your results sheet, explained
Every scan comes with a detailed results sheet. It can look like a lot of numbers – so we go through it with you, section by section.
Body composition
What your weight is made of: water, protein, minerals and fat.
Muscle–fat balance
Your weight, muscle and fat side by side against the healthy range, so you can see which one is out of line.
Body mass index & body fat %
Your BMI, plus your body fat percentage – the number that tells you far more.
Arms, legs & trunk
Muscle in each limb and your trunk, so a weaker side after an injury shows up straight away.
Visceral fat
The hidden fat around your organs, given as a level. Lower is better.
Your score & targets
An overall score, your target weight, how much fat to lose or muscle to gain, and calories burned at rest.
Before & after history
Your scans side by side on a chart – the clearest proof of what's really changed.
Why two scans?
The after scan is where it gets interesting
One scan tells you where you are. The second one tells you if what you're doing is actually working. Tap below to see two people with the same starting point.
BeforeAfter 8 weeksChange
Scales88.0 kg86.0 kg−2.0 kg
Fat29.4 kg25.6 kg−3.8 kg
Muscle32.1 kg33.9 kg+1.8 kg
The scales only moved 2 kg – most people would be disappointed. But the scan shows nearly 4 kg of fat gone and muscle gained. That's a brilliant result.
Example figures to show the idea – everyone's results are different.
How it works
Simple, quick and nothing to feel
The scan itself takes about 15 seconds. Allow around 20 minutes for your visit, because the important part is sitting down and going through your results together.
- 1
Book
Call, WhatsApp or fill in the form below. Pick a time that suits you.
- 2
Shoes & socks off
The scan reads through your bare feet and hands. Normal light clothes are fine.
- 3
Stand & hold
Stand on the footplates and hold the handles for about 15 seconds. A very small, safe signal passes through you – you won't feel a thing.
- 4
We explain it
We go through your results sheet line by line, in plain English, and you keep a copy.

Your after scan
Come back in a few weeks for scan number two – same time of day, same routine – and see what's really changed.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants to know what's really going on
Trying to lose weight
Make sure it's fat coming off – not the muscle that keeps your metabolism going.
Starting a new diet or plan
Get a real starting point, then prove it's working with your after scan.
Over 50 and staying strong
Keep an eye on your muscle as you get older – it's key to strength, balance and staying independent.
Training in the gym
See if you're actually building muscle, and whether both sides of your body are balanced.
Women who are fed up with the scales
Weight goes up and down for lots of reasons. Muscle and fat tell you the real story.
Runners, golfers & sports people
Spot imbalances between left and right, and track your muscle through the season.

Before your scan
How to get the most accurate result
- Don't eat for 2–3 hours before (a glass of water is fine)
- No exercise on the day before your scan
- No sauna, steam room or hot shower right before
- Go to the toilet before you're scanned
- Take off watches, jewellery and anything metal
- For your after scan, come at the same time of day and follow the same routine – that's how you get a fair comparison
Please don't book a scan if:
- You have a pacemaker, defibrillator or any other implanted electronic medical device
- You are pregnant
Women may also get less reliable readings during their period, so it's best to book around it.
This is a body composition scan, not a medical test or diagnosis. If you have a health concern, please talk to your GP.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the scan hurt?
Not at all. A very small, safe electrical signal passes through your body. You won't feel anything – you just stand still and hold the handles.
How long does it take?
The scan itself takes about 15 seconds. Allow around 20 minutes for your visit so we can go through your results with you properly.
What does €50 get me?
Two scans for one person: a before scan and an after scan, with the results explained both times. That's €25 a scan. You also get a free 12-minute EMS training session – just quote CODE 100 when you book.
Why is it cheaper than other places?
We've seen single InBody scans priced at up to €60 in Dublin. We'd rather you track your progress properly, so €50 gets you two scans – a before and an after – with your results explained both times, plus a free EMS session with CODE 100.
How long should I leave between my two scans?
We usually suggest around 4 to 8 weeks. That gives your new routine time to show real change. Book your after scan at the same time of day as your first.
How accurate is it?
The InBody 270 measures your arms, legs and trunk separately, using two frequencies, instead of guessing from your age and gender like many home scales. For tracking change, the most important thing is scanning under the same conditions each time – we'll tell you how.
What should I wear?
Normal light clothes. You'll take off your shoes and socks, plus any watch or jewellery.
Who shouldn't have a scan?
Anyone with a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic medical device, and anyone who is pregnant.
Is it a medical test?
No. It's a body composition scan to help you understand and track your body. It doesn't diagnose anything. For any health worries, see your GP.
Do I need to be a member or train with you?
No. Anyone can book. No membership, no sign-up, no sales pitch.
Where are you?
We're in Leixlip, Co. Kildare – easy to reach from Celbridge, Maynooth, Lucan, Kilcock and Clonsilla. You'll get the full address and directions when you book.
