InBody Scale at the JCC Indianapolis

The JCC Indianapolis‘ InBody Scale measures body composition through bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The BIA method sends a small alternating current through the body that allows for highly accurate measurements of a person’s body fat as well as water, lean mass, overall weight, and more.

Benefits of InBody Scale Use

Describes your healthy weight more accurately and provides a better glimpse into your overall health than traditional methods like BMI & weight.

Fitness Is a Core Jewish Value

At the JCC, fitness isn’t just something we do; it’s who we are. Although exercise is not mentioned in the Torah, taking care of one’s health is. In fact, while other belief systems advocate for the healing power of prayer, Judaism encourages people to look after their health and seek counsel from medical experts. In Judaism, good health is not a goal in itself. Rather, it is a means to an end – to serve the Creator.
