If you’ve ever stepped on a scale after a great week of training and seen the number barely move, you know how frustrating it can be. The scale only tells you one thing: how much you weigh. It can’t tell you whether you lost fat, gained muscle, or both. That’s why every member at Ferris Fitness in Duluth, GA gets regular STYKU 3D body scans.
Here’s what a STYKU scan is, what it measures, and how we use it to build your plan and track your progress.
What Is a STYKU 3D Body Scan?
STYKU is a 3D body scanner. You stand on a slowly rotating platform while a camera captures your body from every angle, and software turns those images into a 3D model of your body. According to STYKU, the scan takes under a minute. There are no needles, no water tanks, and nothing uncomfortable about it.
What Does a STYKU Scan Measure?
STYKU reports two main kinds of data:
- Body measurements: circumferences and lengths around your waist, hips, chest, arms, thighs, and more. Instead of a tape measure that can vary from person to person, the scanner measures the same way every time.
- Body composition: estimates of fat mass and lean mass, which show what your weight is actually made of.
You also get a 3D model of your body, so you can see changes over time instead of guessing from photos in different lighting.
Why a Body Scan Beats the Scale Alone
When you start strength training and dial in your nutrition, it’s common to lose fat and gain some muscle at the same time. On a scale, that can look like nothing is happening. On a body scan, you can see your waist measurement coming down and your lean mass holding steady or going up.
That matters for motivation. Plenty of people quit right before their results show up on the scale, because they had no other way to see their progress. Regular scans give you proof that the plan is working.
How We Use STYKU at Ferris Fitness
Your nutrition plan starts with your scan
When you join, your first scan gives us a real starting point. Your nutrition plan is built from your own body data, not a generic calorie number.
Weekly scans track real progress
Members are scanned every week, so you and your coach can see what’s changing and adjust your training and nutrition along the way.
Your coach turns the numbers into a plan
Data is only useful if someone helps you act on it. Your coach and our Client Success Director use your scans, along with your daily check-ins, to keep your plan on track.
Tips for Consistent Scan Results
- Scan at a similar time of day each week.
- Try to keep conditions consistent, like what you’ve eaten and how hydrated you are.
- Wear what your coach recommends for scanning each time.
- Focus on trends over several weeks, not one single scan.
One note: a STYKU scan is a fitness tracking tool, not a medical test. If you have health concerns, talk with your doctor.
Who Gets a STYKU Scan?
STYKU scans are included with in-gym membership and the 6 Week Challenge at Ferris Fitness. The free class is a coached workout and goals conversation, and the body scan comes once you join.
