Naked Labs

While the scanner is a big (see: pricey) investment, the scan quality, precise measurements, objective comparisons, real-world motivation, and high-quality hardware make the purchase well worth it.

If you have questions (or comments), feel free to comment on my review!

[Actually I've been using it 3 months but there's no option for that]

I've been a Naked tester since April. The initial advantage of Naked over any other approach to body measurement is being able to see and measure the impact of a localized muscle program (e.g. seeing calf / bicep diameter change). Also, seeing my hips/waistline shrink never gets old.

The broader effect that only sinks in once you spend time with it is in knowing that you have to stand in front of it (nearly) naked the next day. Always in the back of my head is the thought that I'll scan tomorrow. Naked is so accurate that skipping too many workouts or eating unhealthily shows up quickly both in my numbers and in my 3D model.

So as a commitment device, it has functioned a lot like a human personal trainer might. It kept me on a flawless 60-day fitness challenge for the first time in my life.

As a side benefit, it's sleek and attractive, fits neatly into the space where I used to have my bathroom scale and adds a full-length mirror where I lacked one before.

It's changing my relationship with my body and the idea of what a mirror is.

I‘m a pre-order customer so have yet to receive my product, but I have been scanned multiple times at trade shows and in the Naked Labs office. Having this type of data about my body easily accessible to me at home will help to plan my workouts and understand how my body changes.

From reading the news breaking this week i look forward to new features and programs that are being introduced over the next year.
