Tanita BC 545 Innerscan Segmental Body Composition Monitor
The ideal product for fitness instructors and serious athletes, the ultimate body composition analyser for sports enthusiasts to use in the home.
Based on the very latest technology and research in body composition monitoring, Tanita has created a new generation of products that allow personalized in-depth and accurate readings to be taken. 5 Segmental Readings are given - one for each arm, leg and the trunk area.
The user stands on four footplates on the platform of the scale and gently pulls the hand electrodes that are conveniently housed in the base using retractable connecting cables. The monitor will then send a safe low signal from the 8 hand and footplate electrodes through the body. The resistance to the measurement (known as Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis or BIA) is then fed into researched equations to provide accurate and personalized body composition readings.
Designed for the dedicated sports and fitness person to assess the impact of any training routine on their total and segmental body composition, this totally unique product gives individual body composition readings for each of 5 body segments – each arm, each leg and the trunk area. The retractable hand-grips allow full body composition to be taken quickly and with increased accuracy. A calendar function is included, and comparison graphs show a history for each segment of the body and for each of the body composition readings, so that the user can see their progress, day by day, week by week and month by month over a 3 year period. The backlit buttons and animated illustrations are clear and user-friendly, and the scales come with batteries included and a 3 year guarantee.
Not suitable for constant multiple weighings. E.g. weighing daily in a gym. Acceptable use is 4 weighings per day for 3 years.

- Buy one - you won't regret it. Review by Dr. Whe Warrilow
-
I have used an older model for about 5 years with high levels of satisfaction. However, I always wondered about what my torso/trunk bodyfat levels were like, and the only other option was a handheld bodyfat analyzer or the very expensive Bodystat system. I got this scale for Xmas, and have been delighted with it. On the downside, it is very light and feels less substantial/robust than our old scale. That is my only criticism; otherwise it is quick, gives very detailed information about bodyfat/muscle mass per limb/ estimated calorie requirement / bone mass and physique type (skinny and undermuscled all the way to low bodyfat and muscular). I find it enormously motivating to hop onto this each morning and know whether or not I can eat "ad lbitum" or lightly, as measured against my desired body composition. A brilliant fitness tool for keeping you alert to desirable and undesirable trends. buy one - you won't regret it. (Posted on 30/07/2010)Quality of product Performance / Ease of Use Value for money
- This is absolutely amazing! Review by Jack Hobartson

This is absolutely amazing! And if you read my other reviews you'll see I'm not easily impressed. This machine doesn't just tell you your weight or body fat percentage. It analyses those readings in different parts of your body. It tells you your body water percentage, visceral fat rating (useful for general health indication) basal metabolism telling you what age you are metabolically, muscle mass, physique rating, and plots that information in graph form over days, months and even years. And lots more too!Quality of product Performance / Ease of Use Value for money
It looks and feels very good quality too and is made in Japan - definitely a good sign. I really can't get over how amazing this machine is, so I'll just say it again: It's amazing!
NB. You must use it on a hard surface, not on a carpet. (Posted on 30/07/2010)
- Nearly 50% of men are medically 'overweight' and an additional 17% are 'obese'. Review by Daily Mail

Nearly 50% of men are medically 'overweight' and an additional 17% are 'obese'. This new body composition monitor measures body fat in specific areas, and its retractable hand-grips means it can be used to measure those awkward places.
