Customer Reviews of Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester
Customer Review: worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been reading the "pinch test" is the most accurate way to measure your body fat. So, I decided to try it because I really had no idea if increasing my weight training was helping me burn fat at all. After doing this test a few months into my training I was able to see the fat was coming off and it helped me find new drive to do more. It is easy to do, you can do it at home and it really does help keep you motivated. I have recommened it to people I know at my gym and they were happy they spent the money.Customer Review: Brilliant to give a benchmark
Summary: 5 Stars
Who cares if its plastic?
If you're trying to lose fat rather than just weight (which could be muscle or water), its essential to use a set of calipers or other fat measuring instrument as well as scales.
I don't know whether its accurate or not (however calipers are supposed to be one of the most accurate fat measurement devices), but it *does* give you a benchmark to measure from - and for the price, it does this brilliantly.
Customer Review: Love It
Summary: 5 Stars
This caliper is fantastic. I love its price & the fact that I can now measure body fat.
Keep in mind: it measures body fat. It does not help you lose body fat.
When I bought this caliper, I somehow thought I found the missing link to my weight loss strategy, but I have not lost any body fat. Even if I lose pant sizes, my body fat stays the same. This caliper is depressing to me.
Customer Review: Body Fat Measurement
Summary: 5 Stars
Recommended. Does what it claims. Made of hard plastic. Must take an average of 3 measurements to determine answer. Has a chart for various fat levels. Measures in inches and mm.
Recommended for the average person and weekend warrior, not for Athletes. Make sure the lever is pushed all the way to the right (high setting) then test and listen for click or you will think it doesn't work. Nice product.
Customer Review: Excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
Very easy to use. Once you get the hang of taking readings, you can be very precise. I haven't been measured by a professional so I don't know how accurate it is. I do recommend visiting some of the sites in other reviews and using a three location measurement technique as the included instruction card seems a bit limited.
I would consider this product an excellent value for the money!
