Is Body Fat Testing with Fit3D Worth It?

The Real Question People Ask Before Booking a Scan

If you’ve been thinking about trying body fat testing, you’ve probably asked yourself:

“Is it really worth paying for this, or can I just use my scale or mirror?”

That’s a fair question — and it’s exactly what we hear from people who walk into Excel Health & Fitness in Manteca, curious about our Fit3D body scanner.

So let’s break it down: what you get, who it helps, and whether the experience actually moves the needle.

What You’re Really Paying For

At Excel, the Fit3D scan costs:

  • $35 for members (first scan is free)

  • $49 for non-members

But what you get is more than just a number. A scan includes:

  • A private 3D body avatar

  • Measurements of waist, hips, chest, arms, thighs, and more

  • Body fat percentage estimate

  • Posture and balance analysis

  • A visual comparison to past scans

  • A personal online dashboard you can access anytime

You’re not just stepping on a scale. You’re getting a full report on how your body is changing, inside and out.

What Most People Say After Their First Scan

While we don’t make up reviews, here’s a pattern we’ve seen over and over again:

  • People are surprised by the clarity: “I had no idea my posture was that off.”

  • They’re relieved to get more than just a weight number: “Now I know I’m gaining muscle.”

  • They feel motivated to keep going: “Seeing my shape change made me want to stick with it.”

  • And they often say: “I wish I had done this sooner.”

Who It’s Most Worthwhile For

Fit3D testing is especially helpful if you’re:

  • Trying to lose fat but the scale isn’t moving

  • Starting a new fitness or nutrition program

  • Training for an event or body transformation

  • Someone who gets discouraged easily by vague results

  • Looking for more than just “weight” as a goal

If you’re the type of person who likes data, visuals, and accountability — you’ll love it.

When It Might Not Be Worth It

To keep it real, this scan might not be for you if:

  • You only want to weigh yourself occasionally

  • You’re not interested in tracking measurements or visuals

  • You don’t plan to act on the results

It’s a tool, not magic. The people who get the most from it are the ones who use it to fuel their goals.

Final Take

If you want to know more than “what you weigh,” Fit3D is worth every penny.

It’s not just about body fat, it’s about seeing your progress in a way that keeps you going.

Most people who try it once end up coming back every 4–6 weeks — because it gives them something no mirror or scale ever could: proof that their effort is working.
