BF Measurement in Chicago

[Kelly]

Hi Kate – Do you have any suggestions on where to get body fat measured in Chicago? I’m in River North (around the block from Barry’s) and would like to get a baseline measurement since it’s been about a year since my last. I’m not in a place to want to move the scale as much as considering goals around body composition. My previous measurements were through a personal trainer I no longer work with.

Hi! Apologies for the delay, ma. I would do a search for DEXA or INBODY scan providers. I haven’t ever done one – but if I were to explore that’s where I would start. The thing with these services is they can be expensive and they don’t REALLY tell you anything from one read, you know? If you’re looking for continual tracking it can get real expensive, real quick. But if you’re thinking it’s a quarterly or bi-yearling thing, then that’s what I would do. The scans are consistent across providers so you don’t have to stay loyal to one place! Let me know if you end up trying a facility and share your experience if you can! 🙂
