We are an official InBody testing location with InBody-certified staff to help you take your goals and progress tracking to the next level!
It’s time to ditch the scale.
At Stand Strong, we’re passionate about helping our clients break free from the ingrained “scale mentality” and the frustration that comes with it! Your bathroom scale is limited and misleading, which is why we use advanced body composition analysis technology to help our clients take a deeper look and focus on more useful data.
Track your FAT loss.
Weight loss is NOT the same as fat loss. Your weight is made up of muscle, fat, and water. The key to effective weight loss is losing excess body fat, not overall body weight. Instead of tracking how heavy you are, we use body composition analysis to track how healthy you really are.
Body composition analysis is KEY to accurately tracking and maintaining your effort and progress. Instead of focusing on a single number on the scale (your overall weight), body composition analysis allows you to focus on losing body fat and gaining muscle while retaining the proper amount of body water in specific areas of your body.
Track your MUSCLE gains.
Many of our clients, including our student athletes, are also focused on muscle gains. The InBody 570 is safe for ages 3 and up, so everyone who wants to can track their progress and muscle mass gains, as well as identify muscle imbalances to target training even more effectively.
Track your MUSCLE maintenance as you age.
Sarcopenia, the gradual loss of skeletal muscle tissue, function, and strength with age, is one of the most important causes of functional decline and loss of independence for older adults. At Stand Strong, we aim to help you combat sarcopenia and stay strong for life so you can continue to do the activities you love with the ones you love. Track your skeletal muscle mass over time to be sure you’re hard work is paying off!
The InBody 570
The InBody 570 accurately measures your body composition in less than 45 seconds and prints out a results sheet to help you track your progress over time. You’ll get precise measures of your important health factors like:
-
-
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Percent body fat
- Body fat mass
- Basal metabolic rate
- Visceral fat level
- Body water balance, and more!
InBody is trusted by top hospitals, gyms and professional sports teams because of its precision and ease of use. The machine is fast, accurate and non-invasive. It is also the only machine that is correlated to be 98% as accurate as the DEXA (Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometer) commonly regarded as the industry’s gold standard. The average cost of a DEXA scan in Pennsylvania is $157!
Your InBody scan takes only 45 seconds and the whole assessment appointment takes only 15 minutes. The appointment includes a full analysis, explanation, and printout of your results.
Testing is available by appointment only. Please CONTACT US to book your spot!

FAQs
How often should I test?
The general recommendation is to take your InBody test every 2-4 weeks to continuously monitor and improve your progress. However, this could vary depending on your goals and we’ll help you determine the best test frequency for your needs and goals.
What should I do or not do before a test?
Follow these simple steps before your InBody Test to ensure consistent testing conditions and the most accurate results:
-
-
- DO maintain your normal fluid intake the day before
- DO stand upright for at least 5 minutes
- DO remove any socks or pantyhose
- DO remove all heavy accessories like jewelry, watches, and jackets
- DO warm yourself up for 20 minutes in cold weather
- DO use the restroom
- DON’T eat or exercise for at least 3 hours
- DON’T consume alcohol or excess caffeine for at least 24 hours (if you have a daily cup of coffee in the morning, that’s fine as long as it’s consistent)
- DON’T shower or use a sauna
- DON’T use lotion or ointment on your hands and feet
-
Why do I need to remove my shoes and socks for the test?
The bottom of your feet must be in direct contact with the electrodes for the scan. Clothing items such as shoes, socks, stockings or leggings must be removed for accurate results.
When is it not recommended to take an InBody test?
- People with artificial electrical implants such as a defibrillator or pacemaker should not be tested. The electrical currents of the InBody may disrupt the functionality of life-sustaining implants.
- Women who are on their menstrual cycle may not get accurate results due to subtle changes in hydration and body water levels.
- Pregnant women are not recommended to take the test because of the body’s constant fluctuations during pregnancy.
- People with prostethic limbs or limb differences may not be able to use the scanner. Unfortunately, the InBody’s electrical currents are unable to flow through prosthetic limbs. The electrodes must come into contact with the body at all eight contact points: thumbs, palms, soles, and heels.
How does the InBody work?
InBody devices use direct segmental measurement bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-BIA), a patented technology, to precisely measure body composition by sending multiple electrical currents through the body, resulting in up to six different impedance readings for the trunk and each of the four limbs. The innovative in-depth analysis of the InBody exam yields accurate results for body composition outputs, such as body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, (segmental) lean body mass, and percent body fat.
