Understanding Body Composition Measurements
This scale estimates body fat, water percentage, muscle mass, and bone density. For these measurements, ensure your feet are clean and make good contact with the stainless steel sensors on the scale's surface. The scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to estimate these values.
User Profiles
The GoFit scale can store memory for up to 10 users. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included Owner's Manual for setting up and selecting individual user profiles to track your body composition data over time. This typically involves inputting age, height, and gender for each user.
