Parkwood Leisure rolls out body composition tech

Parkwood Leisure has installed new boditrax body composition technology into 21 leisure centres across England and Wales.

The platform provides a comprehensive full body scan, helping users learn more about their bodies and track composition changes over time, receiving data on body weight, BMI, body fat percentage and muscle mass.

The technology is free to use for anybody, enabling members and non-members alike to use the devices to not just set goals, but to accurately monitor and track their progress.

Since installing boditrax, there have been over 38,000 users at Parkwood’s leisure facilities and over 16,000 scans across 21 sites. While the majority of scans were completed by users aged 25-44, the technology has been used across all age groups, from under-18s to users aged 75 and older.

“The roll-out of boditrax has been a huge success, as we’ve seen thousands of users engage with the platform to track their progress and make positive changes to their routines. Following the success of our initial roll-out, we look forward to installing boditrax devices at more sites as we continue to engage in the health and wellbeing of our customers,” said Alex Godfrey, operations director at Parkwood Leisure.
