All Life Leisure memberships include a free Inspire programme. As part of the programme you will undergo a precise body composition assessment (Boditrax) to help track where you currently are. This will provide you with your key measurements such as fat mass, muscle mass, base metabolic rate, bone mass and more. These measurements are then used to set your personal goals and will help in tracking your progress to achieve these.
