Styku Body Scanner
Description
In the spring of 2019, Woodfield reaffirmed its commitment to wellness with the installation of a Styku 3D Body Imaging system. This state-of-the-art 3D body scanner uses non-invasive infrared light to extract precise measurements regarding body composition and shape as well as body fat percentage. After each Styku scan, Members receive a confidential email containing a detailed report with data and insights relevant to them.
Styku is changing the way Members visualize their fitness progress. The scans offer a wealth of information that Members and trainers can use to build a more effective training program and set incremental and long-term goals. Members can also share their scan results with others invested in their wellness journey, like their physician and dietician.
Implementation
The Styku body scanner was installed in a private space that was thoughtfully designed to provide Members with a calm and comfortable place to complete their scan. The brand-new scanner was launched in conjunction with an education program to highlight the many positive ways the scan results can be utilized. To introduce Members to the scanning process, a complimentary initial baseline scan was given to Members participating in a Personal Training program. Trainers reviewed the results with Members, and together they set goals in the Styku system.
Members can schedule Styku scans as often as they would like. Those that participate in a Personal Training program receive one complimentary scan per month.
Members are very impressed with the Styku technology. They like that they can analyze their current body composition, set future goals and track progress. Being able to see even the smallest amount of progress has helped keep Members motivated during training sessions. Many have said that it keeps them accountable and on-track with their health, fitness and wellness goals.
Styku has also proven to be an invaluable tool for Personal Trainers. They can closely monitor progress using technology that is much more consistent than traditional methods, like measuring tapes and BIA body fat calipers.
