Lean muscle mass
The number most training plans actually move. Watch total lean mass hold or climb through a cut, and know your programme is working, not just your bodyweight dropping.
What the scan measures · Tower Junction
Bodyweight is one blunt figure moving up and down. A body composition scan splits it into the parts that actually matter, so you can train and eat against evidence instead of guesswork.
The number most training plans actually move. Watch total lean mass hold or climb through a cut, and know your programme is working, not just your bodyweight dropping.
A truer read than the scale alone. Two people at the same weight can sit worlds apart on composition, and this is the figure that reflects the training you are doing.
Muscle and fat mapped across your arms, legs, and trunk. It surfaces imbalances a mirror hides and tells you where to point the next block of programming.
Every scan is dated, so the value is the trajectory. Scan every few weeks and the trend line settles the question the scale keeps arguing about.

The maths · Addington
What a body composition scan can cost you at a Christchurch clinic, per visit, before you have trained a single set.
Included with membership, on every visit. No per-scan fee, no bolt-on package, no pressure to buy anything at the machine.
Scan as often as you want. Members typically re-scan every two to four weeks to catch a real shift in composition.
The exact scan data the coaching team at Inception Nutrition prescribes against, from the same Tower Junction building.
Same building · Same data
A scan on its own is a snapshot. Its real value is what it feeds. The body composition data you collect in the gym is the same data the coaching team prescribes against, and Inception Nutrition operates from the same Tower Junction building in Addington.
No emailing files between clinics, no re-testing at another provider. You scan, the numbers are already in the room, and macros adjust on what your body is doing rather than a calculator that has never met you. Same owners, same building, same data, real results.
Lean mass and body fat trends set the macro targets, not a one-size formula.
A short, evidence-led stack from Inception Labs, at member pricing year-round with up to 40% off storewide.
Re-scan, review the trend, recalibrate. Progress you can see between visits.
The stack members reach for lives on the supplements page, and the on-site store savings sit alongside your free scans.

Yes. Every Inception Gym member scans for free, as part of their membership, on any visit. There is no per-scan charge, no add-on package, and no upsell at the machine. Body composition scans cost up to $80 at a Christchurch clinic. Here they are included, and trial guests get one free during the 24-hour free trial.
The scan reports lean muscle mass, body fat percentage, and a segmental breakdown across your arms, legs, and trunk, so you can see where muscle is being added and where fat is coming off. Each scan is timestamped, so the number that matters most is the trend across visits, not any single reading.
As often as you want. Members scan without limit at our Tower Junction gym in Addington. Most people settle into a scan every two to four weeks, which is long enough for a real change in body composition to show without chasing daily noise.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is a bioelectrical impedance body composition analyser, not a medical DEXA. Used consistently, same time of day and similar hydration, it gives repeatable, trackable trends in lean mass and body fat. If you need a clinical bone-density DEXA, that is a separate medical service. For tracking training and nutrition progress week to week, the analyser is the right tool and it is free.
Members scan free, unlimited, on every visit. If you are not a member yet, book the free 24-hour trial: it includes a free body composition scan alongside full access to all 92 pieces of equipment and the supplement store. No card, no pressure, no follow-up calls.
