Where to get bodyfat measurements (boston)

Triathlon Forum

Greetings all- i keep seeing many posts that suggest things like “if your bodyfat is X% or below do Y”, and have the following questions:
a) reports online suggest the skin-pinch method is iffy at best
b) the scale we have produces laughable results

Where do ppl get their bodyfat measured? Any ideas of where around boston to get it done?

Thanks- n

I’m beating a dead horse, but BF measurements are overrated and pointless. The mirror is your best measuring tool.

Credited.

But wouldn’t that Vertical Gym or one of the other posh gyms have the pincers or can do a real test for you?

Yeah, but you can’t charge people for the mirror, or a scale! I prefer using the pants method, because I pay for new pants when I lose weight so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on spending opportunities.

Try calling the exercise physiology department at Northeastern University. When I did my masters degree there we used to test random people using hydrostatic (underwater weighing) all the time.
