Forget the bathroom scale. In just 60 seconds, the Evolt 360 body composition scanner gives you over 40 personalised health metrics — from visceral fat and skeletal muscle to metabolic age and hydration status — so you can stop guessing and start training with real data. We offer Evolt 360 scans right here at Berwick Supplements, your local supplement store in Berwick VIC. Whether you want to build muscle, manage body fat, or simply understand what's going on inside your body, this is where precision health starts.
- The Evolt 360 uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to deliver 40+ body composition metrics in just 60 seconds.
- Results include body fat %, lean mass, visceral fat, hydration, skeletal muscle, metabolic rate, and biological age — far beyond what BMI or a scale can show.
- The device is ARTG-registered (#341529), FDA-listed (#3015200770), and CE-marked, meeting clinical-grade safety and accuracy standards.
- Monthly or 6-weekly rescans let you track meaningful changes and see whether your training and nutrition are actually working.
- Your scan results become a personalised roadmap: once you know your numbers, you can tailor your supplement and nutrition strategy around them.
- Scans are available in-store at Berwick Supplements — book your appointment online.
What Is the Evolt 360?
The Evolt 360 is a clinical-grade, stand-alone body composition analyser used by gyms, health clinics, and sports nutrition specialists around Australia. Unlike a standard set of bathroom scales — or even a BMI calculation — it measures the actual composition of your body: how much is fat, how much is muscle, how much is water, bone, and protein.
It does this through Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), a well-researched method that sends a safe, low-level electrical current through the body via hand grips and a foot platform. Because fat, muscle, and water conduct electricity at different rates, the device can accurately estimate the proportion of each tissue type present.
What sets Evolt apart from cheaper BIA devices is its 5-point data algorithm, which accounts for your age, gender, height, weight, and impedance simultaneously — producing results that are meaningfully tailored to you, not just pulled from a generic population average. Accuracy is rated moderate-to-high and is comparable to DEXA scanning when users follow standard pre-scan protocols.
If you're serious about supplementing and training with purpose, a body composition baseline is one of the smartest starting points available.
What Metrics Do You Get in 60 Seconds?
Once you step on the platform and hold the hand grips, the scan completes in roughly a minute. Results sync automatically to the Evolt Active app and a personalised dashboard. The full output includes over 40 metrics, with the most actionable being:
Body Composition Fundamentals
- Body fat percentage — total and segmental (arms, legs, trunk separately)
- Lean body mass — your total muscle, bone, and organ weight combined
- Skeletal muscle mass — the muscle you've built through training
- Fat-free mass index — a more nuanced measure than BMI
Hidden Risk Markers
- Visceral fat level — the internal fat surrounding your organs; a far more clinically relevant risk indicator than subcutaneous fat
- Biological age — how your body composition compares to population norms for your chronological age
- Metabolic age estimate — an indicator of how efficiently your body uses energy at rest
Hydration and Cellular Health
- Total body water, intracellular water, and extracellular water
- Protein and mineral levels — key markers for cellular integrity and bone density
- Phase angle — a proxy for cell membrane health, used in clinical research
Metabolic Outputs
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) — the calories your body needs at complete rest
- Recommended macro targets — protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets based on your scan data
Why This Matters More Than Weight or BMI
Two people can weigh exactly the same — 80 kg, say — but have completely different body compositions. One might carry 25% body fat with limited skeletal muscle; the other might be 12% body fat with high lean mass. Their calorie needs, training requirements, and supplement strategies are entirely different. Yet on a scale, they look identical.
BMI compounds this problem. It uses only height and weight, which means a muscular athlete will often register as "overweight" or even "obese" on a BMI chart, while someone with low muscle mass and high hidden visceral fat can appear in the "healthy" range.
Visceral fat is particularly important. Unlike the fat you can see and pinch, visceral fat wraps around your internal organs and is associated with a range of metabolic health concerns. The Evolt 360 quantifies it directly — something a scale, tape measure, or BMI calculation cannot do.
"Knowing your actual skeletal muscle mass and visceral fat level changes how you approach both training and nutrition — it turns guesswork into a plan."
Accuracy and Clinical Registration
The Evolt 360 meets the standards you'd expect from a clinically deployed device:
- ARTG-registered: Listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (#341529), meaning it meets TGA device standards for use in Australia.
- FDA-listed: Listed with the US Food and Drug Administration (#3015200770).
- CE-marked: Compliant with European medical device standards.
- DEXA-comparable: Research suggests Evolt 360 accuracy is moderate-to-high relative to DEXA, especially under standardised pre-scan conditions.
Consistency is key. The most reliable results come from scanning under similar conditions each time — same time of day, same hydration status, same pre-scan fasting window. We'll walk you through the protocol when you book your scan at Berwick Supplements.
How Often Should You Scan?
For most people working toward a body composition goal — whether that's adding lean muscle, reducing body fat, or improving metabolic markers — scanning every 4 to 6 weeks provides the most useful signal. This window is long enough for genuine tissue-level changes to show up in the data, while still being frequent enough to catch if your approach needs adjusting.
| Scan Frequency | Best For |
|---|---|
| Every 4–6 weeks | Active training goals (muscle gain, fat loss, performance) |
| Every 8–12 weeks | General wellness monitoring or maintenance phases |
| Before and after a program | Transformation challenges, pre-season, post-rehab assessments |
Standardise your conditions: same time of day, avoid heavy training or alcohol in the 24 hours prior, and stay well hydrated. This gives you the cleanest comparison point from scan to scan.
Acting on Your Results: A Practical Supplement Roadmap
A body scan is only as useful as what you do with it. Once you have your numbers, here's how to translate the most common results into an evidence-informed action plan — including where well-chosen supplements may help support your goals as part of a structured diet and training program.
For a broader overview of how supplements fit into a training routine, see our Beginner's Guide to Gym Supplements (Australia 2026).
Low Skeletal Muscle Mass → Prioritise Protein and Creatine
If your scan shows skeletal muscle mass below average for your age and gender, your first lever is dietary protein. Research consistently suggests that adequate protein intake — combined with progressive resistance training — may help support lean muscle development over time. A high-quality whey protein supplement can make it more practical to reach your daily protein target, particularly around training.

A clean, high-protein whey concentrate to help support daily protein targets as part of a muscle-building training program.
Shop Now →Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched sports nutrition ingredients available. Studies suggest it may help support strength and power output during high-intensity training, which over time may contribute to improved lean muscle outcomes. It's particularly worth considering if your scan shows that your strength-to-muscle ratio is lower than expected. Read more in our protein powder guide for context on protein fundamentals.
Emrald Labs Creatine Monohydrate
Pure creatine monohydrate — one of the most researched supplements for supporting strength and training performance.
Shop Now →High Visceral Fat or Low Metabolic Rate → Review Nutrition and Training Load
Elevated visceral fat is best addressed through a combination of caloric management and consistent exercise — particularly resistance training combined with cardiovascular conditioning. There is no supplement that replaces these fundamentals. However, once your training program is in place, supporting recovery becomes important: better recovery means more consistent training, which compounds results over time. Our guide to muscle recovery supplements covers the evidence on what may help.
Low Hydration or Imbalanced Intracellular/Extracellular Water → Address Electrolytes and Recovery
If your scan flags hydration or water distribution imbalances, dietary electrolyte intake and overall fluid management are the first things to review. During high-output training, BCAA and EAA supplements may help support intra-workout hydration habits as part of a well-structured training drink — though they should be seen as complementary to, not a replacement for, adequate water and electrolyte intake.

Shop Now →Poor Biological Age Score → Think Long-Term Consistency
Biological age on the Evolt 360 is a composite of your body composition metrics relative to population norms for your chronological age. A higher-than-expected biological age score most often reflects accumulated lifestyle factors: low lean mass, high fat mass, or poor hydration. The good news is that these are all modifiable. Consistent resistance training, adequate protein, and quality sleep tend to produce the most reliable improvements over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Evolt 360 compared to a DEXA scan?
Research suggests the Evolt 360 provides moderate-to-high accuracy relative to DEXA scanning, particularly when scans are performed under standardised conditions — same time of day, consistent hydration, and minimal food intake beforehand. While DEXA remains a laboratory gold standard, the Evolt 360 is considerably more accessible, faster, and practical for regular progress monitoring. For tracking trends over time, it is well-suited to the task.
How should I prepare for my Evolt 360 scan?
For the most accurate and consistent results, aim to: scan at the same time of day on each visit (morning before eating is ideal); avoid heavy training in the 12 hours prior; avoid alcohol in the 24 hours prior; maintain your normal hydration — drink water as usual but avoid large volumes immediately before the scan; and wear light, minimal clothing if possible. We'll confirm the prep protocol when you book your appointment.
How often should I get a body composition scan?
For most people with an active training goal, every 4 to 6 weeks provides a meaningful signal without scanning so frequently that day-to-day fluctuations dominate the data. If you're in a maintenance or general wellness phase, every 8 to 12 weeks is typically sufficient. The most important thing is consistency — same conditions each time so that the comparisons are reliable.
Can the Evolt 360 measure visceral fat directly?
The Evolt 360 provides a visceral fat level estimate based on your BIA measurements and the 5-point algorithm. It does not image your organs the way an MRI or CT scan would, but research suggests BIA-based visceral fat estimates correlate reasonably well with imaging methods. It is a useful relative marker — particularly for tracking whether interventions are reducing visceral fat over time — rather than an absolute clinical measurement.
Who should not use the Evolt 360?
The Evolt 360 is not recommended for people with electronic implanted devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, as the BIA current may potentially interfere with device function. It is also not recommended for use during pregnancy. If you have any implanted medical devices or significant health conditions, please consult your healthcare professional before booking a scan. We're happy to answer any questions in-store as well.
What supplements should I take based on my Evolt 360 results?
Your supplement strategy should follow from your results rather than precede them — which is exactly why getting a scan first is so valuable. Common starting points: if your skeletal muscle mass is lower than ideal, prioritising dietary protein (and potentially a whey protein supplement) alongside resistance training may help support lean muscle development over time. If your scan shows strong training performance markers but recovery is lagging, essential amino acids and adequate post-training nutrition become more relevant. Come in-store after your scan and we can talk through your numbers and what might suit your goals — there's no generic answer that works for everyone.
