Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 You can usually get your bodyfat pinch-tested at most gyms, probably you have to be a member tho ;-) At the local college here they also have the electrical hand held kind - again you have to be a student in a gym program tho. And also the local hospital here offered bodyfat testing as part of their health fair (bioelectival on the upper arm which is said to be very accurate) so do some phoning around in your area. Searching the , there are none associated strictly with your area, but I am sure of the 6000+ memebership on here someone lives close by you :-) <<joni>> *Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Have you called the local ymca? The offer free testing for members or charge a small fee for non members. I think there are two chicago bfl groups one is called bodyforlifechicago2 but can't remember the name of the other one.
