Boot Camp & HIIT Workout at OC FIT RSM
Body Analysis Scan
Welcome to Forge Fitness, where we not only put in the hard work to transform lives, but we also ensure you understand the changes happening within you.
​
At Forge Fitness, we focus on body recomposition. We aim to shed what's unnecessary and replace it with lean muscle mass. This process leads to a fitter, stronger, and ultimately better version of you!
Analyzing body composition gives a better understanding of health and percentages of your body by screening.
​
Typically, people use a scale to gauge their progress when trying to get into better shape. If the number on the scale goes down, most infer success. However, the problem with using a scale as the only method to track your progress is that most scales don’t differentiate between fat loss and muscle loss, which is an important factor in measuring health.

The InBody machine is a very expensive, non-invasive analysis tool that gives us a complete breakdown of your weight in terms of body fat, muscle mass, and water weight. Ever wonder what’s really happening when you step on the scale every morning? How can it be 5-10lbs different from one day to the next? Did last night’s wine really make me fat overnight?
​
Weight is a really poor indicator for health. It does not distinguish fat from muscle. That being said, the Body Mass Index (BMI) is also a poor indicator of health. Your BMI is calculated based on weight and height. So, someone who is a fun-sized, extremely fit athlete may appear obese on a standard BMI chart because their weight to height ratio may not take into account all the extra muscle mass.
Instead, we focus on your body fat to weight ratio known as body fat percentage. Measuring body fat percentage will help us better focus on fat loss rather than weight loss. Ever heard of skinny fat? You can have a perfectly healthy looking 120lb female, put her on the InBody and find out that she’s 48% body fat. That’s almost HALF her body weight in fat. Again, standard BMI measuring is inaccurate. The InBody test will tell you your body fat percentage and exactly how many pounds of fat you have in comparison to healthy ranges of people your age, height, and gender.
​
Muscle is very important! You’ll see numbers all over the sheet that show us exactly how many pounds of muscle you have, the distribution of muscle mass in each segment of your body, and your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)–how many calories your body burns at rest with no exercise–HINT: the more muscle you have, the more efficient your body is at burning fat!
If you’re concerned about weight fluctuations daily, your water weight is likely to blame. Your body may be dehydrated, inflamed, or lacking proper nutrient absorption. We will be able to see changes in water weight with the InBody as well. If you’ve gone on a low carb diet, you may have noticed a huge decrease in weight on the scale! “Yippee!! I’ve lost weight.” Hold on! Let’s check for accuracy with the InBody.
Come to find out, by only cutting out carbs and not focusing on proper exercise, sleep, stress, and quality proteins, fats, and fiber dense carbs, you only lost 15lbs of water and actually gained 3lbs of fat. No wonder fad diets don’t work!

Class being small, the trainers give you very personalized attention. Loved the session with Renee and Angela. Owner, Craig, is always very welcoming too. I am happy they have added boxing to the training. I truly wish they had more time slots. Overall, I like it a lot

I love my workouts at this gym. The new format is great and I love the variety and focus on strength. The coaches are motivating and also help to gauge our abilities which helps avoid injuries. Small classes, personal attention and seeing results keeps me coming back. I also appreciate the owner regularly asks for feedback. Thanks Forge Fitness for helping me reach my goals!
