Get Ready For Your Body Scan

Everything you need to do before your Christchurch Body Scans appointment or on-site scan day.

The most important step is to download Evolt Active, create your account, verify your email and complete your profile before arriving.

Before Scan Day

  • Download Evolt Active
  • Create and verify your account
  • Complete your profile
  • Follow the preparation tips below
  • Bring your phone
  • Arrive inside your allocated scan window

Set Up Evolt Active Before You Arrive

Your scan results are linked to your Evolt Active account. Completing this in advance helps the scan day run smoothly and avoids delays.

Complete These 4 Steps

Please complete all four before scan day.

1

Download The App

Install the Evolt Active app on the phone you will bring with you.

2

Create Your Account

Register using an email address you can access.

3

Verify Your Email

Open the verification email from Evolt and confirm your account.

4

Complete Your Profile

Add your date of birth, height and any other requested profile details.

Important for group scan days: please complete your Evolt account before arriving. Scan days run much more smoothly when everyone is already registered and ready to scan.

How To Prepare For Your Scan

Similar preparation makes your results easier to compare over time.

💧

Stay Normally Hydrated

Drink normally. Avoid arriving heavily dehydrated or after excessive fluid intake.

🍽️

Avoid A Large Meal

Where practical, avoid a large meal for around two to three hours beforehand.

🏋️

Avoid Heavy Exercise

Heavy training immediately beforehand can temporarily affect hydration and readings.

🦶

Wear Light Clothing

Shoes and socks come off for the scan. Light, comfortable clothing is best.

For repeat scans or challenges: try to prepare in a similar way each time. Similar timing, food, hydration and exercise conditions make progress comparisons more useful.

What Happens On The Day

The scan itself is quick. App setup is what usually slows group scan days down.

1

Check In

We confirm your Evolt account is set up and ready.

Scan Preparation FAQs

Do I need to fast?

You do not need to fast all day. Where practical, avoid a large meal for around two to three hours before the scan. For repeat scans, similar preparation each time is most useful.

Can I eat before my scan?

Yes, but try to avoid a large meal immediately beforehand. If you are doing repeat scans, keeping food timing reasonably similar can help with consistency.

Can I train before my scan?

Avoid heavy exercise immediately beforehand where possible, as exercise can temporarily affect hydration and bioimpedance readings.

What should I wear?

Light, comfortable clothing is best. Shoes and socks need to be removed for the scan.

How long does the scan take?

The scan itself takes around 60 seconds. Having your Evolt account ready beforehand helps keep the whole process quick.

Do I need the Evolt Active app?

Yes. Please download the app, create your account, verify your email and complete your profile before arriving.

Why should repeat scans be done under similar conditions?

Hydration, food, exercise and time of day can influence bioelectrical impedance estimates. Similar preparation makes progress comparisons more useful.

When should I scan again?

For general progress tracking, around eight weeks is a practical starting point for many people.
