Lifestyle change for the need
Erno, a 36-year-old social worker, restaurateur and teacher from Tampere, had long been aware of his genetic predisposition to high cholesterol levels. At the end of the summer of 2024, he noticed that the summer heat had started to show on his body. His body fat percentage had risen above the recommendations, and his cholesterol levels were bad. This prompted him to make lifestyle changes and start a fitness regimen with the goal of reducing his body fat percentage and improving his health. Erno decided to eat healthier, go to the gym more and walk 10,000 steps daily. He set an important goal to monitor his body’s well-being, and to support this, he wanted to find an accurate and easy-to-implement body composition measurement option.
Bodymaja: a flexible and easy solution
Erno found Bodymaja, which offered exactly what he had been looking for. The ease and flexibility of the service were decisive factors. Since Erno works three shifts and does gig work, he especially appreciated Bodymaja’s location in the center of Tampere, in a shopping center, and the self-service functionality, which made it possible to take measurements without making a separate appointment. This was especially important due to his busy schedule.
First experiences and the benefits of the measurements
According to Erno, the experience with Bodymaja’s services was positive and surprisingly easy. Although the first time was nerve-wracking, Bodymaja’s clear instructions both on the website and on site gave him confidence. He was particularly happy with the speed and ease of the measurements – the whole process only takes about ten minutes, and the results are immediately visible on the OmaBody page. Bodymaja’s measurements, which started with body composition, soon expanded to include blood pressure and grip strength measurements. All of these were useful in planning and monitoring his fitness project.
Results and insights
Erno said that Bodymaja had given him accurate information about his body’s well-being and development. Visceral fat, waist circumference and body fat percentage had all decreased, and muscle strength had also improved. The measurement of press strength in particular had given him a new insight – it was initially low, but it motivated him to get a hand press and train at home. The results from the measurements had helped him focus on the areas that needed the most attention.
Motivation and continuing the lifestyle change
Erno recommends Bodymaja to anyone who is interested in their own well-being, whether they are an experienced athlete or a beginner. He particularly appreciates the flexibility of the service and the possibility of self-service, which is a modern solution for busy people. Although the results were not always flattering at the beginning, they served as motivation to continue and improve his own fitness.
The fitness project, which originally started with improving body fat percentage and cholesterol levels, has turned into a lifestyle that Erno intends to continue. He has achieved the results he wanted, but he is most happy that Bodymaja has supported him on his journey towards a healthier life.
