Why People Get Body Fat Tests in the First Place
You step on the scale and see a number, but it doesn't tell the full story.
Body fat testing helps you understand how much of your weight comes from fat versus muscle, water, or bone. It’s a powerful way to track real progress, especially if you’re working out, eating better, or trying to change your body.
And you don’t need to be a bodybuilder or pro athlete to care. More and more everyday people are using tools like Fit3D scanning to keep their health goals on track.
Do You Have to Be a Gym Member to Get Tested?
Not at all.
At Excel Health & Fitness, we offer body fat testing using our Fit3D scanner to anyone, even if you’re not a member. It’s a quick, accurate way to get a 360-degree view of your body, no strings attached.
Member price: $35 per scan (first one is free)
Non-member price: $49 per scan
No signup, no long-term contract required
We have people come in from all over Manteca, Lathrop, and Ripon just for the scan. You’re totally welcome.
What You Get for the Price
So, is it worth it? Let’s look at what you actually get for your money:
A full 3D scan of your body in under a minute
A digital avatar showing your current shape
Over 100 body measurements including posture, waist, hips, and body fat distribution
A secure online dashboard where you can track changes over time
A coach available to walk you through your results, if needed
You’re not just paying for a number. You’re getting data that can guide your workouts, nutrition, and long-term goals.
How Often Should You Get Tested?
Most people scan every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on their goals. That gives you enough time to make real changes and see progress.
Here’s a simple guideline:
Weight loss: every 4–6 weeks
Muscle gain / recomposition: every 6–8 weeks
General tracking: every 2–3 months
You don’t need to test weekly — that’s overkill. But having regular checkpoints keeps you focused.
Why Non-Members Still Love It
Not everyone wants or needs a gym membership. We get it.
But if you’re working with a personal trainer, doing your own fitness plan, or just want a progress check, our Fit3D scan gives you an objective way to see what’s working.
And since it’s affordable, private, and easy to book, people come in just for this test.
Can You Find Cheaper Options?
Sure, but it’s not apples to apples.
Some places use old caliper tools
Some use handheld devices that fluctuate wildly
Some places bundle testing into pricey packages
At Excel, you get access to high-end equipment without the upsell. It’s priced fairly because we believe in giving our community access to real tools that work.
