Where to get BF% measured in NJ?

Hey guys, just curious if there is anyone in the NJ area.. Around Toms River or close. That knows where I can get my body fat professionally measured? I have calipers I use at home, but I'm not positive I do it correctly. I also have a bio-impedance scale, but I'm pretty sure it probably is not correct either.

I workout at home, so if someone says.. They gym you go to, that wouldn't work. I was thinking of a bodpod? Anyone every use one? I heard they have one at Rutgers, So maybe I'll call and see if they will do it. It is only about an hour or so drive.. And I have a couple friends going there.

Any other ideas would be great!

    I've had my BF% tested in a BodPod. I thought it was a pretty neat experience. It is supposed to be significantly more accurate than the bio-impedance scales, especially home versions. It also takes the human element (potential error) out of caliper measurements. I definitely recommend it, if you have one nearby. We have some centers that test for $40, but a nearby college will do it for $20 or less. If you go to http://www.bodpod.com/clients/locator and select your state, it will tell you where you can get tested.
