Measure Your Muscle Mass In Christchurch
Discover your skeletal muscle mass and gain deeper insight into your body composition. Our professional Evolt scan measures muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, metabolic age and calorie requirements in under 60 seconds.
A muscle mass test helps you understand how much lean muscle your body is carrying and whether your training, nutrition and lifestyle are supporting strength, fitness and body composition. Christchurch Body Scans uses Evolt body composition technology to measure skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, metabolic age and calorie requirements.
What Is A Muscle Mass Test?
A muscle mass test measures your estimated skeletal muscle mass so you can track whether you are building, maintaining or losing lean muscle.
Track Lean Muscle
See whether your strength training, boxing workouts or nutrition plan are helping you build or maintain muscle.
More Than Weight
Your weight can stay the same while your muscle increases and body fat decreases.
Protect Progress
During weight loss, muscle mass testing helps show whether you are losing fat without sacrificing lean muscle.
What Your Muscle Mass Test Measures
Your Evolt scan measures muscle mass alongside other key body composition markers.
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Track the muscle involved in movement, training, strength and posture.
Body Fat Percentage
See what percentage of your body weight is fat mass.

Why Muscle Mass Matters
Muscle mass plays an important role in strength, fitness, metabolism, healthy ageing and long-term body composition.
Strength & Function
More lean muscle supports everyday strength, movement, posture and physical independence.
Metabolism Support
Muscle tissue influences calorie requirements and can support healthier body composition.
Healthy Ageing
Tracking muscle mass is useful as strength and muscle naturally become more important with age.
