We’ve all been there. You’re fighting the good fight: working out five times a week (with the laundry to show for it), chugging green juice and borderline overdosing on kale and quinoa (good job, you!). After a few weeks, you decide that it’s a good time to check in on how your valiant efforts are paying off. You step on the scale, only to learn that your hard work and dedication amounted to a whopping half-pound weight loss. It’s not nothing — but it’s underwhelming and not what you were shooting for.

The scale — while by no means obsolete — can be frustrating and discouraging because it often doesn’t reflect all of the good we’re doing for our bodies. Why? Because the scale doesn’t tell us the whole story. With the measurement technology we use at Bari, we are better equipped and better informed than ever to understand how we’re changing our bodies from the inside out. And frankly, one number just doesn’t cut it.

That’s why we use the BodyMetrix measurements system to give you a real picture of your overall health.

We don’t just want to know how many pounds you weigh — we want to know if your bones are getting stronger, if your fat is redistributing into muscle and whether or not you need to chug some more H2O. We don’t just want to know how many pounds you’ve shed — we want to know if you’ve decreased your visceral fat in a way that’s going to decrease your risk of heart disease, stroke and even dementia. We don’t just want to consider one number when it comes to assessing the effectiveness of your workouts — we want the ultrasound evidence that you are creating more muscle to burn more calories, which will make your workouts pack a stronger punch.

Tribe, our measurement system isn’t about everybody reaching “the perfect weight.” It’s about creating a holistically healthy workout program that is catered specifically to you, for your body, your needs and your goals. Using ultrasound technology, accurately tracking your progress and having access to a Bari trainer who can translate what your body is telling you is the surest way to create a deliberate, thoughtful, you-based (yes, we’re that technical) plan.

If you haven’t taken advantage of our measurements system yet, jump on the Bari body bandwagon and see what all the fuss is about. Measurements are on us every Monday in November, so there’s no reason not to find out what your body wants to tell you. Email us to set up your appointment and get tracking, Tribe.
