Best place to measure body fat %

[gympro]

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a good (accurate) place to get your body fat % tested in Auckland? I know there's quite a few places/trainers that do it through skinfolds measurements but do you think this is the way to go in terms of accuracy of results? I've heard that not every place does such a good job of this so I thought I'd get some opinions.

Thanks,

Aleks

You can do it yourself mate with just a little help of someone to get measurements of your back.

Who cares what your bodyfat it is, it wobbles its fat if its hard it not.

Good point, usually I don't care about that sort, but just getting curious lately. A mate of mine that recently moved to the states got tested and is at 8% so he was asking me about mine, and getting cheeky :roll: It would be good to see where I stand and maybe compare it with couple of years down the road. You know the saying - "what gets measured gets improved".

then its not so important on where you get it tested just that you always get it tested at the same place by the same person so that the improvements (or lack thereof) are shown on you, it becomes a subjective matter. If you have it done with someone really good and then next time someone who hasnt had alot of practise your values might be the same even though you made an improvement
