What Is Visceral Fat — And How Fit3D Reports It

One of the most common questions in body composition is:

“Can you measure my visceral fat?”

Visceral fat has become a major talking point in health and longevity — and for good reason.

With the evolution of our platform, Visceral Fat reporting is now available in the new SNAP Dashboard.
It is not available on older ProScanner reports.

Let’s explain what that means — and how to use it with prospects.

What Is Visceral Fat?

There are two primary types of fat:

Subcutaneous fat – the fat under the skin you can see and pinch.
Visceral fat – deeper fat stored inside the abdominal cavity, surrounding organs like the liver and intestines.

Visceral fat is metabolically active and strongly associated with:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Heart disease
• Hypertension
• Chronic inflammation

That’s why clients care. When they ask about visceral fat, they’re really asking:

“What does my body fat mean for my health?”

SNAP: Visceral Fat Report (New)

The new SNAP Dashboard includes a dedicated Visceral Fat Report.

This gives operators:

• A simple, visual explanation for clients
• A health-focused talking point
• A stronger sales conversation for transformation programs

It helps prospects connect body composition data to long-term health outcomes — not just weight loss.

This feature is part of our latest software development and is exclusive to SNAP.

What About ProScanner Owners?

Older ProScanner systems do not include the Visceral Fat Report.

Instead, ProScanner owners use Body Shape Rating (BSR) to communicate health risk patterns.

Body Shape Rating analyzes:

• Surface-Based Shape Index (SBSI)
• A Body Shape Index (ABSI)
• Trunk-to-Leg Volume Ratio
• Body Fat %
• BMI

Using research-backed correlations, BSR provides a single, easy-to-understand health positioning score.

While it does not label “visceral fat,” it speaks to the same underlying risk indicators tied to body shape and fat distribution.

Why This Matters for Your Sales Process

When you show clients health-related metrics — not just pounds lost — the conversation changes.

Instead of:

“How much weight did I lose?”

It becomes:

“How is my health improving?”

For medspas, gyms, and clinics, this creates:

• Higher perceived value
• Better retention conversations
• More compelling transformation programs

The Bottom Line

Visceral Fat reporting is available inside the new SNAP Dashboard.

ProScanner owners continue using the Body Shape Rating report to communicate health risk positioning.

Both approaches support meaningful health conversations — but SNAP represents the newest evolution of the Fit3D reporting ecosystem.
