BMI alone tells you almost nothing. InBody machines measure body fat, muscle, water, and visceral fat in 60 seconds — the only true picture of health. Trusted in 1,500+ Indian facilities.
BMI is just weight ÷ height². It cannot tell muscle from fat, and it ignores where fat is stored — the most important health risk factor.
A 75 kg bodybuilder and a 75 kg sedentary person at the same height have identical BMI. One is fit, one is at risk. BMI cannot tell.
Indians have 2× the visceral fat risk of Caucasians at the same BMI. The "skinny fat" epidemic is invisible to BMI but visible on InBody.
Build 2 kg muscle and lose 2 kg fat — same weight, same BMI. BMI says "no change". InBody shows the real transformation.

A BMI machine calculates Body Mass Index from weight and height. Modern professional machines like InBody go far beyond BMI — measuring body fat percentage, skeletal muscle, body water, visceral fat, and BMR using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).
BMI uses only weight and height. It cannot tell muscle from fat, misses visceral fat (the most dangerous type), and shows no change when you build muscle while losing fat. InBody body composition analysis solves all three.
The InBody 380 is the most popular BMI & body composition machine in Indian gyms — wireless, 45-second scan, member-friendly. For boutique studios, the InBody 270S is a portable premium choice.
InBody machines are installed in 1,500+ gyms, hospitals, and wellness centres across India. Use our location finder to get tested at the nearest centre.
Basic consumer scales: ₹3,000–₹15,000. Professional InBody body composition machines (BMI plus full analysis): ₹1.5 lakh for portable models to ₹15 lakh for clinical flagships. See full pricing.
BMI is an exact mathematical formula but not an accurate health measure (cannot distinguish muscle from fat). Professional InBody body composition machines achieve 98.4% correlation with DEXA scans — the medical gold standard.
