BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS
Move far beyond the bathroom scale and outdated BMI calculations. Utilizing medical-grade InBody technology, Alpha 1 Performance Lab accurately differentiates between fat mass, dry lean tissue, bone mineral content, and cellular water across five discrete anatomical segments.
Official technology partner utilizing patented multi-frequency direct segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-BIA).
Zero Radiation · 60-Second Scan
Unlike consumer scales that use empirical guesswork (plugging age and gender into algorithms), InBody utilizes patented multi-frequency current to directly measure impedance in each limb and trunk independently. You get exact tissue data repeatable week after week.
Think Fat Loss, Not Weight Loss
Two individuals can both weigh 130 lbs, yet one possesses 20% body fat with robust skeletal muscle while the other has 35% body fat with high visceral adiposity. InBody lets you look beyond the scale and see what you are truly made of.
Quick, Painless 5-Step Scan
1. Remove shoes and socks and sanitize contact points.
2. Step on and align feet with bottom electrodes.
3. Enter your unique tracking ID to record trends.
4. Grip thumb and palm hand electrodes.
5. Stand upright with arms extended for a 60-second scan.
The Device That Looks Right Through You
Understand your weight, measure your segmental muscle distribution, and set targeted hypertrophy goals. The InBody report provides an exact breakdown of dry lean mass, extracellular water ratio, visceral fat level, and basal metabolic rate (BMR).
Official InBody 270 Results Sheet
Every scan delivers this comprehensive, full-page diagnostic breakdown printed on the spot and synced directly to the free InBody app on your smartphone, so you can track your scans and progress over time.
Direct quantification of Weight (lbs), Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Body Fat Mass, and Percent Body Fat (PBF).
Granular breakdown for Left Arm, Right Arm, Trunk, Left Leg, and Right Leg with percentage evaluation against target norms.
Multi-test tracking chart proving continuous lean tissue growth, visceral reduction, and fat mass loss over time.
The Science Behind Your InBody Sheet
Every scan produces a comprehensive clinical diagnostic sheet showing granular changes in muscle and body fat.
Segmental Lean Muscle Analysis
Measures exact pounds of dry muscle mass in each arm, each leg, and your trunk. Pinpoints muscular imbalances and verifies targeted hypertrophy.
Visceral Fat Area (VFA)
Quantifies the metabolically dangerous fat surrounding your internal abdominal organs—a critical metric for insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk.
Extracellular Water Ratio (ECW/TBW)
Evaluates intracellular vs. extracellular fluid distribution to detect systemic inflammation, water retention, lymphatic congestion, and overtraining.
Phase Angle Cellular Vitality
A direct electrical marker of cellular membrane integrity and cellular health, reflecting overall biological age, recovery capacity, and nutritional status.
Monitoring GLP-1 Therapies & Muscle Retention
When taking GLP-1 medications (such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide), a portion of the weight lost can come from lean tissue, not just fat. Published research suggests muscle loss can account for a meaningful share of total weight lost during rapid weight loss.
Routine InBody scans help you monitor how much of your weight change is fat versus lean tissue, so you and your trainer or provider can adjust protein intake, training, and medication strategy accordingly.
How Alpha 1 Personal Training Uses Your Scan:
- Directly program unilateral exercises if limb muscle disparity exceeds 5%
- Adjust dietary protein targets to match true dry lean body mass
- Track visceral fat reduction to reduce metabolic disease risk
What this service is
An InBody scan is a medical-grade multi-frequency direct segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis that differentiates fat mass, dry lean tissue, bone mineral content, and cellular water across five body segments — moving beyond the bathroom scale and BMI to show what your body is actually made of.
- Who it is for
- Anyone tracking fat loss or muscle gain, GLP-1 patients monitoring muscle retention, athletes verifying hypertrophy, and people who want repeatable week-over-week body data.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an InBody scan?
An InBody scan is a medical-grade multi-frequency direct segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis that measures dry lean muscle, fat mass, visceral fat, and cellular water across five body segments in 60 seconds — with no radiation and no calipers. Alpha 1 Performance Lab administers it in-club for $30.
What does an InBody body composition scan measure?
It measures segmental lean mass in each arm, leg, and the trunk; visceral fat area; the extracellular-to-total-body-water ratio (ECW/TBW); phase angle (a cellular vitality marker); and basal metabolic rate (BMR). It distinguishes fat loss from muscle loss, which a bathroom scale cannot.
How accurate is InBody compared to DEXA?
InBody uses direct measurement rather than age- and gender-based estimation, and correlates closely with DEXA while offering a faster, radiation-free, repeatable 60-second scan that is ideal for tracking week-over-week changes.
How long does an InBody scan take and what does it cost?
The scan itself takes about 60 seconds and costs $30. You simply remove shoes and socks, step on, grip the hand electrodes, and stand still. Results print instantly and sync to the mobile app.
Where can I get an InBody scan in Minnesota?
InBody scans are administered in-club at Alpha 1 Performance Lab locations serving Rosemount and Lakeville in Dakota County, Minnesota. No gym membership is required to book a scan.
