The secaTRU body scan is a new state-of-the-art analysis tool now available at the North Lexington Family YMCA! With a full secaTRU scan, you can learn more about your body composition including:

  • Weight

  • Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • Visceral Fat

  • Basal Metabolic Rate

  • Fat Mass Percentage

  • Skeletal Muscle Mass

After your scan, you'll receive a printed copy of your results and the ability to view the data on the seca MyAnalytics mobile app. From there, you will sit down with a coach to have a better understanding of your fitness level, be able to set more clearly defined fitness/health goals, and work together with staff to ensure these goals are accomplished.

Scans should be scheduled between four and eight weeks apart.

To be eligible for the secaTRU body scan, you must be:

  • A YMCA Member

  • 18 years or older

  • Weigh below 800 lbs.

  • Registered by visiting the Welcome Desk at the North Lexington Family YMCA

For the most accurate and consistent results, we recommend preparing for your scan by following these guidelines:

  • If possible, measure yourself at the same time of day each scan.
  • Measure before your workout.
  • Avoid consuming large meals and beverages at least two hours before your measurement.
  • Use restroom before your scan.
  • Wear similar, light clothing as heavier material will be interpreted as additional weight.
  • Scans cannot be performed on individuals with electronic implants (e.g. pacemakers) or those with prostheses.
  • Those who are pregnant or experiencing cardiac arrhythmia should consult a physician prior to booking a scan.

To schedule your scan:

  • Stop by the front desk of the North Lexington Family YMCA, 381 W. Loudon Ave., Lexington, KY, 40508.
  • Call 859-258-9622 for the North Lexington Family YMCA.
  • After registration, a Y staff member will follow up to schedule your first scan.

Prior to your first scan, your trainer will take tie to learn about you and what you hope to accomplish with the scans. 

The secaTRU body composition scan takes less than 30 seconds and will provide you with a detailed analysis of your skeletal muscle and fat mass — a deeper look into your health that a simple scale will miss.

Each scan comes with a one-on-one session with a trainer to help you interpret your results.

YMCA members can purchase a two-scan package for $40 to be used four to eight weeks apart.

If you are a participant of our Mind Your Weight program, you'll receive two complimentary scans.
