Evolt is a wellness company that is powering connected and digital health. We have developed an end-to-end solution that tracks detailed changes in the quality of the activity, body composition and nutrition as well as sophisticated data analytics for member body composition changes.
We get it. We’ve all been there. We join a gym – sometimes with a friend, sometimes by ourselves, often on January 1 or the first week of spring – and vow to work out every day, eat better and get ready for — summer, a class reunion, a wedding, whatever.
Then two or three weeks later we jump on a scale and see we have lost a grand total of TWO POUNDS! All that sweat, sacrifice, time and we lose the equivalent of a small bag of coffee. You can just feel your motivation and enthusiasm going out the door with you when you leave the gym. What’s the point, you think, if all that effort isn’t going to make your body look great or help you feel better?
That’s where the Evolt 360 comes in! Its state-of-the-art technology will let you know – scientifically, backed by data and easily accessible – if what you are doing is working. Are you doing the right workouts? Are you eating properly? Is your body responding to what you are spending all that time doing?
By analyzing the information provided by the Evolt 360 scan, you and your trainer can provide the answers to these questions and more, making sure you are on the right track with your exercise regimen. You can see immediately if your body fat has decreased, if your muscle mass has increased and, yes, if you’ve lost some weight. In a nutshell, you will be able to see if your are healthier than when you started a few weeks ago and, if not, how to adjust your program to make sure you are reaching your goals.
Access to this information can motivate you, help you understand your body better and show you areas you need to improve. And all of this information is delivered in an easy-to-understand way that can keep you on the right track to a better, healthier you.
Understanding that healthy is not just a number.
In 60 seconds, the Evolt 360 gives users a unique experience and a full report of their body composition.

The Science behind BIA (bio-electrical impedance analysis)
The Evolt 360 technology does not provide clients with a ‘one-size-fits-all’ generic measurement by using pre-set algorithms that do not account for unique and personalized characteristics of you as an individual.
Based on the most up-to-date scientific information relating to the BIA analysis, the use of algorithm-based measurement is key to maintaining the accuracy of measurement for each individual.
There is no such thing as a “direct measure of body composition”.
The only way to obtain a 100% accurate measure of body composition is in post-mortem via dissection of tissue of a cadaver.
All forms of body composition measurements require the use of an algorithm, even though some companies claim they do not.
The accuracy of BIA technology, as validated in science, requires the input of five factors — height, age, weight, gender and impedance.
DEXA is the gold standard of Bone Density, not body composition.
Skin fold measurements will only detect subcutaneous fat tissue whereas BIA detects subcutaneous fat tissue and visceral fat tissue so they are incomparable measurements.
All BIA technology is validated in science as a repeatable and reliable measure of body composition.
The accuracy of BIA technology is subject to the conditions being standardised by the user (ie. same time of the day, temperature, training status, food contents & hydration status). The same applies to DEXA.
BIA technology is well respected in the scientific community as a reliable and repeatable measure to track body composition progression.
Evolt’s BIA technology uses five compartments (torso, both arms and both legs) rather than a single compartment to offer a more reliable body composition result.
The free Evolt Active App puts the scan results in the palm of your hand. Once scanned on the Evolt 360 Body Composition Analyzer, the app allows individuals and trainers to track body composition and provides macronutrient profiling, healthy lifestyle scoring and individualized supplement recommendations — all right on a smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. Now users can know exactly how their wellness program is working and how they can make it even more efficient.
Whilst not always possible, the recommended time to scan would be under the following conditions:
• First thing in the morning after emptying the bladder
• In a fasted state (ie no food prior to scanning)
• Well hydrated
• No consumption of caffeine or caffeine-containing supplements
• No training or activity that raises body temperature
If you are unable to scan until later in the day, always ensure that you consistently scan at that same time of the day with the same food and hydration status to maintain consistency and repeatability in readings.
Evolt has a proprietary, trademarked overview rating called BWI, which stands for Bio-Wellness Index. The Bio-Wellness Index score is a calculation based on the integrity of lean body mass versus total fat mass that provides a more purposeful number out of 10 as an overall measure of progress in the promotion of healthy lean body mass for longevity. The BWI Score is about establishing the right composition of weight gained or lost and takes into account the age and gender of the individual in comparison to World Health Organization standards. The higher the score, the better the wellness of the individual or the total collated group. The purpose of the BWI is to provide one simple metric as a measuring score of body composition health.
The antiquated score of BMI (Body Mass Index) uses only a measure of height over weight, which doesn’t distinguish whether the weight gained is lean body mass rather than fat mass.
Significant research exists supporting the importance of maintaining lean body mass in a fat loss scenario, such as:
