Body Fat Percentage Measurement in Eindhoven: Why It’s Essential for Strength Training
Do you want to lose fat, build muscle mass, or get fitter in a targeted way? Then measuring your body fat percentage is essential.
At Aurora Personal Training in Eindhoven, we use body fat measurements as the foundation of training, nutrition, and coaching. Not based on feeling alone—but on facts. This way, you know exactly whether you’re making progress and where adjustments are needed.
Many people focus solely on the scale. But that number tells you very little. You can lose weight without losing fat. Or gain weight because you’re building muscle mass.
👉 That’s why we focus on body composition, not just body weight.
What Is Body Fat Percentage (and Why Does It Matter More Than Weight)?
Your body fat percentage indicates what portion of your total body weight consists of fat. It tells you far more about your health and physical progress than kilograms alone.
A healthy body fat percentage is associated with:
More muscle definition and a fitter appearance
Better athletic performance
More efficient fat loss and muscle gain
Lower risk of health-related issues
In strength training, this is crucial. Your body can lose fat and build muscle at the same time—something the scale often doesn’t show, but your body fat percentage does.
The Benefits of Measuring Body Fat Percentage for Strength Training
1. Honest Insight Into Your Body
You gain clear insight into changes in:
fat mass
muscle mass
fat-free mass
This distinction makes goal-oriented training possible.
Objective numbers make progress visible—even when the mirror or scale seems unchanged.
