Using a Body Composition Scanner to Track Your Wellness Journey
If you’re training regularly, working on your health, or investing in recovery, it is natural to wonder whether what you are doing is actually working.
You might feel stronger or move better, but without clear data it can be hard to tell what’s changing inside your body. This is where a Visbody scan comes in.
At Boon Wellness in Auckland, Visbody provides a fast, non-invasive body composition scan that shows how your body is changing beneath the surface, giving you clarity, direction, and a meaningful way to track progress over time.
What is a Visbody scan?
A Visbody scan is a 3D body composition analysis that uses optical scanning and bioelectrical impedance technology to assess how your body is made up.
Rather than focusing only on weight, it looks at fat mass, muscle mass, body water, posture, symmetry, and distribution across different parts of the body. The result is a detailed visual report that shows where you are right now and how that changes with training, recovery, and lifestyle habits.
The scan itself takes about a minute and is completely painless. There is no radiation, no needles, and no physical contact involved.
Why body composition matters more than the scale
Body weight alone tells very little about your health or performance. Two people can weigh the same but have very different muscle mass, fat levels, posture, and recovery needs.
A Visbody body composition scan helps separate these details. It shows whether changes are coming from fat loss, muscle gain, or both, highlights imbalances between the left and right side of the body, and identifies postural patterns that may affect how you move, train, or recover.
This makes it easier to set realistic goals and avoid relying on guesswork or frustration when progress feels slow.
How a Visbody scan helps in everyday life
People use Visbody scans for many reasons. Some want to track training progress or support fat loss goals. Others are returning from injury, noticing stiffness or postural issues, or simply want a clearer understanding of their health.
It is also common to see positive changes in muscle balance or composition before they become obvious in the mirror. For many people, this objective feedback becomes a powerful motivator to stay consistent with training and recovery habits.
What the process is like at Boon Wellness
Your Visbody scan at Boon is private, simple, and guided by our team.
When you arrive, we walk you through the process and answer any questions. You step into the scanner wearing light clothing and remain still for around 60 seconds while the scan is completed.
Your results are available immediately. A Boon team member will then explain your report in clear, plain language, covering key body composition insights, muscle balance, posture, and areas where recovery could be better supporting you.
If you would like, we can also email your full report and provide an optional personalised recovery plan based on your results.
How Visbody fits into recovery at Boon
Understanding your body is only useful if you know what to do with the information.
Many members use their Visbody scan results to guide how they use contrast therapy, infrared sauna, and red light therapy at Boon. Over time, this allows you to see how consistent recovery influences muscle development, fat loss, posture, and overall wellbeing.
Instead of treating recovery as something vague, Visbody helps turn it into something measurable and intentional.
How often should you get a Visbody scan?
Most people benefit from scanning every four to eight weeks. This allows enough time for real physiological change while still giving regular feedback on what is working.
Some members choose to scan monthly as part of their routine, while others use it at the start and end of a training block or lifestyle change.
There is no perfect schedule. The best frequency is the one that supports your consistency.
Is a Visbody scan right for you?
You do not need to be an athlete to benefit from a body composition scan.
Visbody is useful for beginners, experienced gym-goers, office workers dealing with posture issues, people returning from injury, and anyone who prefers clear information over guessing.
The purpose is not perfection. It is understanding what your body is doing and how to support it better.
