InBody scan near me: how to find a test and what it costs
To find an InBody scan near you, download the InBody app and open the testing locator at the bottom of the dashboard. InBody took the map off its website, so the app is the official finder. A single scan usually costs $20 to $60, and some gyms give members a free test. If the app shows nothing nearby, call local gyms, YMCAs, dietitians, and clinics.
This page covers where to look, what the test is like, what it costs, and when a 3D body scan is the better next step. ShapeScale does not run InBody's locator, and we do not list street addresses here. If you run a practice and you are choosing hardware, the last section is for you. Updated 13 Nov 2026 (PT).
How to find an InBody scan near you
The InBody app is the place to start. InBody says the website map is no longer available, and every testing-location search now happens in the app, from the locator at the bottom of the dashboard (InBody testing locations, checked 13 Nov 2026). A gym or clinic only appears if it registers, so an empty list does not prove there is no InBody in your town.
InBody's own page shows example listings from Equinox, Gold's Gym, and Vasa. That tells you the kind of place to try. It is not a promise that every club in those chains has one.
If the app comes up empty, phone a few places before you drive anywhere:
- Large gyms and studios, especially ones that sell personal training
- YMCAs and hospital-run wellness centers
- Registered dietitians and nutrition clinics
- Chiropractors, med spas, and weight-loss clinics
Ask three things when you call: the price for non-members, whether you need an appointment, and which InBody model they use. Testing on the same model each time keeps your numbers comparable.

What the InBody test is like
An InBody test takes about as long as a weigh-in. You step onto metal foot plates, hold the hand grips with your arms a little away from your body, and stand still while a small current runs through you. The machine estimates body water, fat mass, and lean mass from that resistance, then prints a result sheet. Most sites also send the numbers to the InBody app.
The method is bioelectrical impedance (BIA). Water conducts the current and fat resists it, so the reading depends a lot on how hydrated you are. That is why InBody gives a prep list. Its test page asks you to wait at least 3 hours after a meal, test only once you have recovered from exercise (it says 1 to 3 days), skip lotion on your hands and feet, and retest every 2 to 4 weeks under the same conditions (InBody Test, checked 13 Nov 2026).
What you get back is a sheet like the ones below. The app shows the same numbers from the same test.
For the full step-by-step, and what the sheet can and cannot tell you, read what an InBody session shows.
How much an InBody scan costs
There is no national InBody price. Each gym or clinic sets its own. The posted prices we checked on 13 Nov 2026 ran from $20 to $60 a scan. The higher end usually includes a trainer or dietitian walking you through the sheet.
- Vero Fitness (Vero Beach, Florida): $20 for members, $40 for non-members, $40 for members with a trainer review. New members get their first test free.
- Sentara RMH Wellness Center (Virginia): $30 for members or $40 for non-members for a 15-minute scan, and $50 or $60 for a 30-minute scan with a consult.
- Watertown Family YMCA (New York): two free scans a year for members, then $25 for members and $50 for non-members.
Free InBody scans do exist, but they are usually a member perk or a new-member offer. Ask when you book.
When a 3D body scan is the better next step
Pick a 3D body scan when you care about shape: your waist, hips, thighs, or arms, and how they change over time. InBody gives you whole-body estimates of fat, lean mass, and water. A 3D scan builds a model of your body and measures it, so you can see where inches came off, not only whether a percentage moved.
ShapeScale is an optical 3D scanner. You stand still on the base while the sensor arm moves around you, and the scan takes under a minute. There are no electrodes and no current. Clothing, hair, and stance still matter, so wear the same thing each time.
Results show up in the ShapeScale app on iPhone or iPad: a photoreal 3D body you can turn, circumferences at the neck, shoulders, chest, biceps, waist, hips, thighs, and calves, regional volumes for the arms, torso, and legs, and a heatmap that compares two scans. Body composition comes from a model trained on paired scans against GE Lunar iDXA. In the March 2026 white paper (1,000+ adults), body fat had a mean absolute error (MAE, the average size of a miss) of 1.89 percentage points versus iDXA.
To find one, use the ShapeScale location finder. For how the two methods differ in detail, see InBody scan accuracy and the 3D body scan guide.
If you run a gym or clinic
If members keep asking where to get an InBody, you have two choices: send them to someone else, or scan them yourself. A gym or studio that sells a locked-protocol trend, like a 4-week challenge with a retest, can do that job well with a BIA column. A med spa, plastics practice, GLP-1 or weight-loss clinic, or nutritionist who has to show a waist, hip, or thigh change usually needs a 3D scanner instead.
ShapeScale fits in a 5 x 5 ft bay with a 7 ft ceiling. It is $299/mo billed monthly or $199/mo billed annually ($2,388 a year) on the 12-Month Plan, or $9,990 to buy, plus $199 delivery and setup. The 12-Month Plan includes a full-term warranty, and a purchase comes with a 2-year warranty. Both start with a 45-day return period. See pricing, or compare methods on the compare hub and ShapeScale vs InBody 580. The body scan gym guide covers setup and follow-up visits on a gym floor.
“ShapeScale has truly revolutionized how we guide patients through their weight loss journey. It makes it so much easier for them to visualize their transformation and track progress, because it is no longer just about losing weight.”

FAQ
Where can I get an InBody scan near me?
Open the InBody app and use the testing locator at the bottom of the dashboard. InBody removed the map from its website, and only businesses that register show up. If the list is empty, call nearby gyms, YMCAs, dietitians, and clinics and ask. For a 3D optical scan instead, use the ShapeScale location finder.
How much does an InBody scan cost?
It depends on the facility. Posted prices we checked on 13 Nov 2026 ran from $20 to $60 a scan, with the higher prices usually including a trainer or dietitian review. Non-members often pay about twice the member price. Call the site you find in the app and ask before you book.
Can I get a free InBody scan near me?
Sometimes. Free scans are usually a member perk or a new-member offer. One YMCA we checked gives members two free scans a year, and one Florida gym gives new members their first test free. There is no standing free public price, so ask when you book.
Does this page list InBody locations?
No. ShapeScale does not run InBody's locator, and we do not list clinic or gym addresses. InBody's official locator lives in the InBody app. The steps are at the top of this page.
Does Planet Fitness have an InBody scan?
We did not find a chain-wide Planet Fitness answer on InBody testing. Call your club, or check the InBody app, which shows any club that has registered a device.
How should I prepare for an InBody test?
Follow InBody's prep list: wait at least 3 hours after eating, do not test until you have recovered from exercise, use the restroom first, skip lotion on your hands and feet, and test at the same time of day each time. InBody suggests retesting every 2 to 4 weeks under the same conditions.
Is an InBody scan the same as a 3D body scan?
No. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance (BIA): a small current through hand and foot electrodes, read as resistance. A 3D optical scanner like ShapeScale builds a model of your body surface and measures circumferences and regional volumes from it. Neither one is a DXA scan.
How much does ShapeScale cost for a business?
$299/mo billed monthly or $199/mo billed annually on the 12-Month Plan, or $9,990 to buy, plus $199 delivery and setup, with a 45-day return period. See pricing.
