You resisted that piece of cake, your personal trainer put you through burpees, push-ups and squats. You jogged with the dog after work two days this week instead of hitting happy hour. Yet, when you look in the mirror a week later, even though you feel like Jillian Michaels, you don’t look like her. Should you throw in the towel? Call your trainer and cancel your 6 AM training session for pancakes instead? No, none of the above, because fitness progress is a process; and when you are trying to improve your body composition for health reasons or to rock that bathing suit, seeing the results in the mirror can more take time than we like.
Even though positive changes occur to our body every day that we participate in a fitness program, the process can be frustrating and lead to demotivation. Even more frustrating is measuring fitness progress with a scale, it gives only one variable of the whole picture. You can’t measure out one cup of flour and call it a cake!
The creator of Fit3D, Greg Moore, set out to develop an innovative technology to provide a new ingredient to the recipe of motivation, with a quick and easy way to visualize changes to your body.
Fit3D is a three-dimensional body imaging technology that uses a highly sensitive camera to scan and measure over 450 various points on your body in less than 35 seconds. The data is quickly compiled to create a detailed topographical image of your body, tracking precise measurements of your girth, height, length, volume, and surface area. Besides physical appearance, all of these measurements are important indicators of health risks; and can be used to study trends and fine tune personalized health programs.
Furthermore, Fit3D bypasses the often embarrassing process of taking progress pictures in a swim suit under bad lighting, or the inconsistencies of a skin fold test to measure body fat. Accessibility to the information is confidential and convenient as well.
According to Greg Moore, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fit3D, “the information and images can be easily accessed through a smartphone app so you can review your own results and share your progress with others.”
The Fit3D team is continually striving to ensure the system is user-friendly, accurate, and provides assessments that are beneficial to the fitness clients. The technology is successfully being utilized in a number of elite fitness organizations and training programs throughout the U.S., and expects to grow substantially in the next year.
