Personal Trainers Chime In On Preferred Method for Body Fat Assessments

Carpinteria, CA – April 15, 2006 – YourCouponClub continues polling fitness professionals on their fitness equipment preferences. Most recently, personal trainers were asked to pick their favorite method for conducting body fat assessments. The available choice of methods included Skin-fold calipers, Underwater weighing, NIR (infrared), MRI, DEXA (dual energy x-ray asbsorptiometry), and Bioelectrical impedance. While a quarter of the vote went to bioelectrical impedance, the vast majority of fitness trainers (69%) were found to prefer skin-fold calipers as a body fat measurement technique. The remaining 6% of voters designated underwater weighing as their favorite method of assessment.

YourCouponClub provides their professional members with access to thousands of dollars worth of savings on fitness industry products, including fitness equipment. “Because we are dedicated to helping trainers get the best deals on the best equipment,” says Sam Hirschberg, Managing Director of YourCouponClub.com, “we are looking to trainers for their input on what they consider to be the best equipment.”

In the future, YourCouponClub plans to poll personal trainers on their preferences in several different categories, including weight-training equipment, cardiovascular equipment, supplements, and fitness education.
