SNAP: The Smart, Simple Choice for Growing Your Gym

See how SNAP matches ProScanner’s key measurement accuracy while costing less, setting up faster, and helping you sign more members.

Think About Your Clients. Think About What You Need to Track. SNAP Delivers Exactly That.

Before you decide which 3D body scanner is right for your business, take a moment to think about who your clients really are — and what actually keeps them happy, motivated, and coming back.

What Are Your Clients Really Here For?

If you run a typical gym or studio in the U.S., your clients aren’t walking in to have every line of their abs analyzed. They’re here because they want to:

  • Lose weight
  • Reduce body fat
  • See measurable progress that keeps them motivated

Statistically, someone over 40 is more likely to be a millionaire than to have a six-pack. That means for most gyms, ultra-fine surface detail isn’t what matters most — tracking meaningful changes in body composition is.

What You Actually Need to Track

To keep clients engaged, you need accurate, repeatable measurements of:

  • Circumference (waist, hips, arms, legs)
  • Overall body volume
  • Body fat changes over time

Both the SNAP and the ProScanner deliver these metrics with the same high level of accuracy. These are the numbers that matter for weight loss, transformation challenges, and client retention — and SNAP nails them.

The overall volume shown by both 3d scanners is very similar.




What was the ProScanner Model about & Why Do you no longer sell it? 

ProScanner was Fit3D’s original tower-based 3D body scanning system. It is now 12 years old.

It helped establish the measurement accuracy and repeatability standards that Fit3D is known for today. However, ProScanner required:

  • A dedicated hardware tower
  • Mechanical components
  • Larger physical footprint
  • Higher upfront hardware investment
  • Shipping and installation logistics

ProScanner played an important role in our development, but it reflects technology from more than 10 years ago. It is now considered a legacy system. It's not bad, it's just that computers and sensors have gotten a lot better since then. If you want to learn more about the Evolution of 3d Scanners here.

Can a Tablet Based 3D Scanner be That Accurate?

Yes — because technology moves fast. The ProScanner’s design is over 6 years old. Think about how your phone’s camera has improved in that time compared to bulky digital cameras.

The point: This isn’t a downgrade — it’s the next generation.

SNAP Does What Matters Most — Accuracy, Reliability, with Affordability

  • Tracks fat loss and body changes as accurately as ProScanner
  • Starts working the moment you download the app
  • Costs a fraction of the price
  • Helps you sign more clients by showing visible results early

Our Recommendation

Start with SNAP. Track what matters, keep your clients engaged, and grow your business.

What Are the Operational Advantages of SNAP?

1. 24-Hour Deployment

Operators can purchase a compatible Android tablet locally and begin scanning immediately after installing the SNAP app.

No freight shipping.
No buildout requirements.
No long installation timelines.

2. No Mechanical Components

SNAP eliminates rotating platforms and tower-based systems.

Fewer mechanical parts means:

  • Lower maintenance
  • Fewer service interruptions
  • Reduced downtime risk

3. Smaller Physical Footprint

SNAP does not require a large dedicated scanning room. It integrates into modern gym layouts and consultation spaces.

4. Lower Financial Risk

ProScanner required a significant hardware investment.

SNAP preserves the measurement value — while dramatically lowering the upfront cost and allowing month-to-month subscription flexibility.

Is SNAP Less Advanced Because It Uses a Tablet?

No.

Modern mobile camera systems and processors are significantly more advanced than the hardware available when ProScanner was first engineered.

Just as smartphones replaced bulky digital cameras for most professional use cases, modern tablets now support professional-grade 3D capture in a compact form factor.

SNAP represents the next generation of 3D body scanning architecture.

Why Does Fit3D Recommend SNAP Today?

Fit3D recommends SNAP because it delivers:

  • High-resolution 3D capture
  • Accurate and repeatable body measurements
  • Faster deployment
  • Lower maintenance burden
  • Lower upfront investment
  • Simplified scaling across locations

ProScanner helped define the performance baseline.

SNAP improves on it — with modern hardware, software-first architecture, and a dramatically simpler operational model.

Final Recommendation for Gym Owners

If your goal is to:

  • Increase member retention
  • Sell more personal training
  • Run body transformation programs
  • Provide measurable proof of progress
  • Add value to consultations

Start with SNAP.

It delivers the measurement foundation Fit3D is known for — in a more modern, more reliable, and more accessible system.
