You Want Reliable Results, But You Don’t Want to Overpay
Body fat testing is one of the most powerful tools for tracking your health and fitness progress. But let’s be honest, if it’s too expensive, you’re not going to do it often enough to make it worth it.
So how can you get accurate, consistent results without blowing your budget?
At Excel Health & Fitness, we’ve helped hundreds of people in Manteca save money on testing, and still get high-quality data that drives results.
Here’s how to do the same.
1. Take Advantage of Free First Scans (If Offered)
At Excel, your first Fit3D scan is free if you're a member.
Even if you’re not sure you’ll stick with it long term, this gives you a solid starting point — and it costs you nothing.
Pro tip: Use your first scan as a baseline, then decide how often you want to follow up based on your goals.
2. Choose Pay-As-You-Go Options Instead of Packages
Some gyms and clinics try to lock you into expensive packages. That might work for some people, but for most, it’s overkill.
At Excel, we let you pay per scan:
$35 for members
$49 for non-members
No contracts
No auto-billing
No pressure
You only pay when you need it, and nothing more.
3. Schedule Scans Strategically
You don’t need to scan every week.
Weight loss? Every 4–6 weeks
Muscle gain? Every 6–8 weeks
Just tracking? Every 2–3 months
By timing your scans wisely, you get meaningful data without wasting money on unnecessary tests.
4. Skip the Sales Pitch, Go Where Testing Is the Focus
Some places offer body fat tests just to sell you a program. That means your scan might be “free,” but only if you sit through a sales pitch.
At Excel, you don’t have to buy anything else. Come in, get tested, get results, that’s it.
5. Don’t Settle for Inaccurate Free Tools
Calipers and handheld devices are cheap or free, but they often give you numbers that bounce all over the place.
If your goal is progress tracking, it’s better to spend a little on something consistent than to chase free tests that don’t tell you anything useful.
