Why Should You Measure Body Composition?

Body composition measurement is a useful way to monitor the internal state of body and, in particular, the changes occurring within it. In addition to weight, the measurement determines the amount of muscle, fat, and water in the body, providing a wealth of information about the body’s health quickly and efficiently.

The measurement provides precise data on all the components that make up the body: fluids, minerals, proteins, and fat. With body composition measurement, it is possible to detect the amount of visceral fat, which is particularly harmful to health.

Body composition measurement results are considered a good indicator of overall health. The results are straightforward and help in making smart choices in daily life. Through the measurement results, the importance of exercise and lifestyle changes for well-being becomes tangible, presented as numbers and charts that make it easy to understand cause-and-effect relationships.

Why Choose Bodymaja’s Body Composition Measurement?

Bodymaja’s body composition measurement is based on the bioimpedance method, where a light electrical current is passed through the body. Bioimpedance measurement is a superior method, providing detailed and individualized reports on nutritional status and health with a level of accuracy that is unmatched by other methods in terms of breadth, ease, and repeatability.

“I find Bodymaja’s InBody service affordable and user-friendly. No need to book appointments. The measurement device is modern and of the latest model, and the facility is very clean. The report’s explanations and data fields are extremely useful and, in their completeness, even better than, for example, a gym trainer’s interpretation.” – Jukka

Bodymaja’s InBody measurement provides over 40 values describing your body composition. The key strengths of the InBody measurement are its reliability and clarity. The measurement is always valid regardless of age, gender, or size. Bodymaja’s measurements are conducted at convenient self-service points, allowing you to perform the measurement in complete privacy.

In addition to body composition measurement, it is also possible to measure blood pressure and grip strength by purchasing additional measurements as part of the body composition measurement package. This allows for an even broader understanding of your body’s condition. You can learn more about Bodymaja’s measurements and locations on Bodymaja’s website.

Integration with Puhti

Bodymaja became part of Puhti in April 2025. During 2025, Bodymaja will be integrated into Puhti’s website and result reporting system, after which body composition measurements can be ordered directly through Puhti. Until then, Bodymaja and Puhti will continue to operate independently on their respective websites.
