Common Questions About Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing in Riverhead
Participants need to wear tight-fitting clothing to avoid trapping air pockets underwater, which can alter the results. Men should wear swim trunks or compression shorts. Women should wear a standard bathing suit, or a combination of tight spandex and a supportive sports bra.
No, participants are never completely submerged during the hydrostatic test. The water level is similar to a standard home bathtub. The individual keeps their mouth safely out of the water so they can easily exhale the air from their lungs for an accurate reading.
The water inside the GetTanked hydrostatic testing tank is kept very comfortable. The temperature is strictly maintained between 84 and 95 degrees. The facility also sanitizes the heavily filtered, chlorinated water after every single event to ensure a highly hygienic environment.
It is highly recommended to arrive for the test on an empty stomach. If the appointment is later in the afternoon, participants should try to eat a normal meal two to three hours beforehand, and wait to eat again until the testing process is completely finished.
The entire hydrostatic testing process takes only fifteen minutes from start to finish. Members quickly enter the heated water, dry off with their own towel, and immediately receive a detailed printed summary of their lean muscle mass and body fat percentages to take home.
