At Onyx the scan takes twenty minutes with a coach, costs $49 and is booked online on an open time. Members in the performance classes have one scan a month included.
What the scan reports
Body fat percentage, lean mass in kilograms, total weight and, from the second scan on, the change in each. We run the scan under the same conditions every time, in the morning where possible, before training and before a large meal, because the scan is only as good as the consistency between sittings.
The coach reads the result with you. A loss of two kilograms where one is lean mass is a different outcome from a loss of two kilograms of fat, and the program changes accordingly.
How it fits the program
Nutrition targets in the Onyx Performance OS app are set from your own scan rather than from a generic formula. Your calorie and protein targets come from your measured lean mass, and they move when the scan moves.
Who books it
Adults starting a training block or a diet, athletes making weight for a sport, and anyone who wants a baseline before they begin. Every scan is saved to your account in the app, so the trend is always one tap away.
