Has anyone gotten the Fit3D scans before. Did you find the information helpful? A local gym is having a challenge that includes 6 scans over 3 months and it is only $40 to enter.

    Personally, I think you could do much of that measuring on your own.
    Walmart, CVS, etc have machines to take your blood pressure.
    Get a yearly check up (free with insurance) to check your cholesterol.
    ^ This is truly worth your time.
    *Get your husband to take those body measurements. This might be fun for him.
    Give him the $40

    Hi Trish - I work for Fit3D but I'm also a real user. Take a look at my scans!

    Truth is hand held measurements are prone to all kinds of error like tape placement and how tightly or loosely it's being held. Fit3D provides consistency, accuracy and precision with measurements, and gives you an awesome 360°, 3D image to go with it. Super motivating!

    Let me know if you have other questions. Happy to help. I say... give it a try! You won't be sorry. michele.osorio@fit3d.com

    Don't you love those assumptions?

    I say it sounds cool and $40 is pretty affordable to me, Id like the scans if they were available to me :)

    I say $40 seems affordable and seems like at the very least you get some interesting info.

    My caveats would be:
    -3 months seems like a short amount of time from beginning to end. But I suppose you could pay for more scans in the future after more time is elapsed (that is probably what they have in mind and why they are giving you the deal now).
    -Treat the BF% the same as you would any other estimate, or even calipers from a trainer. I'm guessing they use certain numbers and make assumptions. It's probably more accurate than if you took your own measurements and made an estimate, maybe equal to calipers from a qualified trainer, but less accurate than a full dexa scan. That said, I think over time it can be accurate in trends (and way more accurate than a resistance based method).
