LifeBridge Health & Fitness once again offers the latest fitness technology with the launch of BodyShape� scanning. This system allows fitness experts to map an individual�s exact body shape and measure it to a tenth of an inch. A customized workout plan is then established based on individual goals.

Seeing really is believing, and BodyShape� gives the client the opportunity to measure and visualize how well his or her exercise program is working,� said Joel Schlossberg, general manager, LifeBridge Health & Fitness. It�s a wonderful way to gauge what needs to be done to work on specific areas of the body.�

The BodyShape� system literally looks like a large photo booth and uses non-invasive, normal white light when taking a 3-D photograph of the body�s image. It does not use lasers or radiation and does not penetrate the skin like an MRI scanner or X-ray.

Clients stand in the same place each time the picture is taken and the program�s software automatically locates the same points every time. The resulting images look like a golden statue of a person that focuses on shape as opposed to specific details of the body.

Once the scanning process is complete, the data is burned onto a password protected CD-ROM and is accessed only by the trainer and client during a physical assessment appointment. This appointment is generally set every eight weeks, depending on what is recommended by the trainer.

The BodyShape� scan is a service open to both members and non-members of LifeBridge Health & Fitness for a fee. Special discount packages are also available.
