Many operators assume a body scanner has to be large and bulky to look professional. That used to be true.
‍

Today, modern 3D body scanning runs on compact, powerful software — not metal towers or outdated BIA machines pushed against a wall.

Many of our higher-end studios and medspas choose Fit3D specifically because it gives them control over the environment. They can design a fully branded assessment space that feels intentional, elevated, and aligned with their client experience.

For them, the goal isn’t just measurement — it’s creating a premium moment their customers remember.

‍

If you're using SNAP by Fit3D, here’s how to turn “just a tablet” into a premium assessment experience.

‍

‍

1. Wall Mount the Tablet

A flush-mounted tablet instantly looks intentional. The magnetic ones are roughly $30 online. This also removes the horrible experience of bending down to type onto a tiny screen.  Take the tablet off the wall, hand it to your client, and then put back when you are ready to scan.

Bonus: Add a wireless charging mount to eliminate ALL visible cords and create a clean, permanent installation.

2. Frame the Scan Area with Vertical Lighting

Tall LED light bars define the scan zone and create visual height — without needing large hardware columns.

3. Use a Circular Floor Decal or Branded Mat

A round floor marker clearly defines where clients stand and rotate. It makes the scan area feel like a dedicated station, not just open floor space.

4. Use Contrasting Wall Areas to Create "a Zone"

For medspas, this often means subtle elegance — contrasting wall colors in a corner treatment area, soft lighting, neutral floor fabrics, and a clean, refined scan zone that blends seamlessly with the clinic aesthetic.

For gyms, you can be louder and more performance-driven — bold wall graphics that say “Scan Area,” branded backdrops, or a custom floor rug that clearly marks the transformation zone.

‍

The key is intentional design. The scan should feel like a feature — not an afterthought.

‍

Last thoughts:

‍

Large medical devices and traditional BIA machines may look “serious,” but they often feel dated and take up unnecessary space. Modern technology is smaller — and smarter.

‍

Instead of spending thousands on bulky outdated hardware, invest a few hundred dollars into lighting, branding, and design.

The result feels more intentional, more modern, and more aligned with today’s gym and medspa environments.
