Especially when you start exercising, it is important that you are being coached in the right way to stay motivated and prevent injuries. Fitness is the ultimate way to improve your health and work in a focused way on achieving your training objectives.

You will never get bored with exercising in this way and you will be sure to keep growing. From time to time, fitness coaches will be present to advise you, so make the best possible use of them!

Whatever purpose you have with your training, measuring your weight is often useful when following a training program. We offer with the Tanita scale a total body composition measurement. 

The Tanita Body Composition Analyzer measures through a data signal as fat, muscle mass, moisture content. Combined with personal information such as height, weight and age the analyzer gives a very accurate assessment of body composition.

The Tanita body composition analyzer is very easy to use, if you log in with the MyWellness app your measurements will be saved and you can track your progress. You can track your measurements for a longer period. From the information we get from your measurements we can for example learn whether your muscle mass actually increased in strength, or your fat mass decreased by your weekly workouts. It is important that each measurement is performed under the same conditions because the moisture throughout the day changes. So therefore measure before you start your workout.

Check the poster below for more information, or ask the fitness trainer for the possibilities.
