Fitness Assessment & InBody Scan on the Upper West Side
Every new personal training client at Momentum Fitness on the Upper West Side starts with a comprehensive fitness assessment. We also offer standalone InBody body composition scans to anyone in the neighborhood who wants accurate numbers without committing to training.
Your Complete Fitness Assessment
Every new personal training client at Momentum goes through a full two-part assessment before programming begins. It's included in your package, it's run by your Momentum trainer, and it gives us the baseline we need to build a program that actually fits you.
Part 1: InBody 570 Body Composition Analysis
The InBody 570 uses bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, and segmental muscle balance in about 45 seconds. It has a 98% correlation with DEXA scans, which makes it one of the most accurate body composition tools available outside a clinical lab.
Knowing your real body composition gives us something to track that isn't the scale. You can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, and the scale will barely move. The InBody catches what the scale misses.
What your InBody report shows
- Body fat percentage (fat vs. lean mass)
- Segmental muscle balance (left vs. right, upper vs. lower)
- Basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest)
- Total body water and hydration balance
- Visceral fat level
- Progress history across every scan on file
Part 2: Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
The Functional Movement Screen is a seven-test movement screening used by trainers across NYC to evaluate mobility, stability, and fundamental movement patterns. Your trainer watches how you squat, step, lunge, reach, and rotate — the same patterns that show up in every workout — and scores each one.
The FMS isn't a medical diagnosis. It won't tell you whether something is injured. What it does tell us is where your movement has limitations so we can program around them, correct them over time, and keep you training safely from day one.
Why we run the FMS on every client
- It flags movement limitations that could cause injury under load
- It lets us program the right regressions or progressions from session one
- It gives us a re-test to measure later, so you can see movement quality improving — not just weight on the bar
- It's the reason our trainers can work with beginners, post-rehab clients, and advanced lifters under the same roof

Book Your Free SessionInBody Scan — No Training Required
You don't need to be a personal training client at Momentum to get an InBody body composition scan. If you're training somewhere else on the Upper West Side, working with a nutritionist, chasing a fat loss goal, or just want accurate numbers you can track over time, we're open to the neighborhood.
Accurate body composition in under a minute
Step on the InBody 570, hold the hand electrodes, and stand still for about 45 seconds. You'll walk out with a printed report showing body fat percentage, lean mass, segmental muscle balance, visceral fat, BMR, and hydration. Every scan is saved on your profile, so if you come back in three months, you can compare results side by side.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Avoid lotions or oils on your hands and feet right before the scan, as they can interfere with the reading.
Who books standalone InBody scans
- People working with a nutritionist or dietitian who need accurate body comp data
- Runners and athletes tracking lean mass through training cycles
- Fat loss clients who want to confirm they're losing fat, not muscle
- Strength trainees who want to prove the scale going up means muscle, not fat
- Anyone tired of guessing from a bathroom scale
Book Your InBody Scan
Single scans or 5-packs are available for non-clients. The 5-pack brings the per-scan cost down to $40 and is ideal if you want to track progress across a training cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a fitness assessment?
A fitness assessment gives your trainer a baseline so your program is built around your real starting point, not a guess. It also gives you something measurable to track over time, so progress isn't just about how you feel or what the scale says.
What should I wear to my assessment?
Comfortable workout clothing and athletic shoes. For the InBody scan, avoid applying lotions or oils to your hands and feet beforehand, as they can affect the accuracy of the reading.
Will the FMS screening tell me if I have an injury?
No. The Functional Movement Screen is not a diagnostic tool. It identifies movement limitations and imbalances so your trainer can program safely around them, but it does not diagnose injuries. If you suspect an injury, see a physical therapist or doctor.
Is the InBody 570 scan accurate?
Yes. The InBody 570 has a 98% correlation with DEXA scans, which makes it one of the most accurate body composition tools available outside a clinical setting.
What happens after my assessment?
Your trainer will review your InBody results and your FMS scores with you, explain what they mean, and use them to build out the first phase of your program. You'll leave with a clear picture of where you're starting and what you're working toward.
Can I get an InBody scan without doing personal training?
Yes. Single scans are $50 and 5-packs are $200 ($40 per scan). Book through the options above or call us at (917) 426-3492 to schedule a time that works for you.
Does the InBody 570 track my progress over time?
Yes. Every scan is saved on your profile, so when you come back, whether it's next week or next year, you can compare results side by side and see exactly how your body composition has changed.
Do non-clients get the Functional Movement Screen too?
No. The FMS is reserved for personal training clients because the value is in how the results shape your program. Without training follow-through, the screen is just a snapshot. Non-clients can book standalone InBody scans anytime.
