The MYWELLNESS® band

In the £6 package you will receive your mywellness band. A band will be assigned to you which will enable you to swipe into the gym with ease. The band will interact with the gym turnstiles and the class ticketing kiosk for faster, easier entry. You will be able to scan the equipment which will log you onto the machine to record your workout. You can also scan the mywellness pedestal when you are completing a TANITA Scale body reading, which will automatically upload the results to your app.

TANITA Scales Body Assessment

TANITA doesn’t just measure your weight and body fat, it measures…

Visceral fat the fat around your vital organs.

Total body water & bone mass the amount of water in your body and the weight of your bones.
Physique rating gives you insight in what body type you currently have.
Basal metabolic rate the daily minimum level of energy or calories your body requires when at rest (including sleeping) in order to function effectively.
Metabolic age the age in which you metabolism works at.
Body mass index (BMI) a standardised ratio of weight to height, used as a general indicator of health.
Muscle quality indicates the quality/state of the muscle
Segmental Muscle Mass & Body Fat Percentage separate muscle mass rating and fat percentage for the core abdominal area, arms and legs.

Scan the equipment using your wristband or your smart phone

You can hop on a machine and scan the kit straight away using the QR scanners on the machines. This will allow you to log on to each machine and view video tutorials on how to perform a variety of exercises and view notes from your fitness advisor.

The app will record your MOVEs

What are MOVEs? They measure your activity levels every day. The more often you move and the faster you move, the more MOVEs you accumulate. Unlike the amount of calories burnt, MOVEs scores are independent of body weight, so they are a better way of comparing your activity levels with that of your friends.

MOVERGY is simply how active you are over two weeks, it will tell you what your activity level is. The different levels are Low Active, Moderately Active, Active and Very Active. Ask an advisor to find out more information on the mywellness app.
