Where can I find out my body fat percentage? I've used websites to check but I want to use a more accurate way of measuring it. I live in San Antonio, TX. Does anyone know of any gyms or weight loss clinics where they have someone who knows how to use calipers or one of those scales that measure it?

ETA: I've googled it but I just get a bunch of listings for lipo or something else :/

    you can buy the scales cheap on amazon. but as a bf% measuring device it's basic, expect differences of around 3% depending on how much water you've been drinking.

    i think a good way to go without spending any money is to track your bodyfat over time using http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/

    My husband visits FitnessWave a couple times a year and I recently went for my first time. Hydrostatic body testing is VERY accurate, and talking with the tech administering the test was amazingly informative. I learned a lot about *my* body to form appropriate fitness goals and highly recommend it to anyone who is able to go!

    There's a FitnessWave location in San Antonio:

    If you are a member of a gym, one of the trainers should be able to give you this info using the calipers. This service is usually free.:glasses:
