Body Composition Testing! Chart Your Progress! Fast! Easy! Confidential!
Body composition is a better health measure than weight alone. So Become EnLIGHTened and find out your percentage of body fat and lean mass.
A valid, reliable method of measuring body composition with accuracy comparable to the gold standard of underwater weighing has arrived! Bod-E-Comm is a completely safe and non-invasive method of body fat testing which requires no disrobing or discomfort of any kind! U.S. Government research located a single point on the human body - the biceps of the dominant arm - that has a direct correlation with the body's overall fat level. A safe beam of near infrared light is sent into the bicep at specific wavelengths that fat cells will absorb and lean mass cells will reflect.
After just a few seconds, only YOU see the results AND the computer software gives you a printout with diet and exercise recommendations.
Results can be stored so you can track your progress.
With all the diets on the market today and the conflicting advice presented by the media, how are you deciding what's right for your body? Truth is, every BODY is different and you need personalized data to make the proper choice for your body. Become EnLIGHTened and learn about your bodys' needs.
Now, Pilates on Fifth has REEVUETM, an FDA approved indirect calorimeter: a machine that calculates the amount of oxygen you consume to determine how many calories you burn a day just staying alive. Based on the results, the machine can determine your resting metabolic rate, which will tell you how many calories you would naturally burn if you just sat all day long.
Then, the sophisticated, intelligent software provides you with a detailed printout of not only your resting metabolic rate, but also your caloric maintenance zone, weight gain zone and weight loss zone. Plan your eating and exercise more efficiently! What used to be available only in hospitals is now available here and we encourage you to EnLIGHTen yourself with this knowledge.

Bi-lateral Scales How do you balance out?
We talk about alignment constantly---so wouldn't you like to know your alignment is improving?
A bilateral scale measures the amount of weight carried on the left foot and right foot. Technically a 100lb individual should have 50lbs on the right foot and 50lbs on the left foot.
