Hey everyone, weâre super excited to share Fitycal with you today. Itâs a project that started because we felt frustrated with how hard it was to track meaningful progress on our fitness journeys. Weight and BMI alone just donât tell the whole story, nor do the countless pics and mirrors, and we wanted something that shows the bigger picture.
With Fitycal, you can 3D scan yourself in 10 seconds using your iPhone, and track things like your measurements, body fat %, lean mass, and more.. all without expensive equipment. Itâs been a game-changer for us and the early users whoâve tried it out.
Weâre not perfect, and we know thereâs room to grow. Thatâs why weâd love your honest feedback. Is there a feature youâd like to see? Something that could make it even more useful for your goals?
Thanks for checking it out, and we canât wait to hear what you think!
@tonyabracadabra Thanks, Tony! đ
Great question! When compared to measuring tapes, Fitycalâs 3D scans are, in a way, more accurate and consistent since thereâs no risk of user error, like pulling the tape too tight, or measuring above or under the previous mark. For DEXA scans (most effecient way to calculate your body fat), theyâre super accurate but expensive and not as accessible. Fitycalâs scans are 1â2% accurate compared to DEXA for body fat percentage (according to a Prism Labs study that I mentioned in my other comment), giving you a convenient and reliable alternative to track your progress over time.
I'm excited to know more about what you think of this, and would love to get your feedback on the accuracy as well if you're down to try our app ^^
I ocassionally do a DEXA scan to get my exact measurements and monitor alignment. I can't imagine this is very accurate in measuring things like body fat % though. Curious to learn how it works, @souka_ina. :)
@rrhoover Hey Ryan! đ
Great to hear youâre already using DEXA scans (definitely the gold standard!) Fitycalâs 3D scans donât aim to replace DEXA, at least not anytime soon with the current capabilities, but instead offer a super convenient way to track 'trends' over time.
The app uses advanced computer vision to estimate body fat %. Based on a validation study, weâre within 1â2% of DEXA for body fat, which we think is pretty awesome for just using a smartphone :)
Handy sidekick for your regular DEXA check-ins. Something consistent, quick, and way less intimidating than a clinical scan (at least for me đ ).
Here's more about how it works:

Would love to hear what you think, especially in comparison, if you give it a try!
Using the VR and AI capabilities of the iPhone for body assessments is a great idea, but I'm not sure about the accuracy at this stage. I've used some professional equipment at the gym before, and it was often inaccurate.
Thanks for asking, @ashitvora! đ
FITYCALâs body fat percentage measurement is super impressive thanks to the tech behind it. It uses 3D scanning algorithms that have been validated against professional tools like DEXA scans. According to a recent Prism Labs study , the results are within 1â2% accuracy of DEXA for body fat percentageâpretty incredible for a smartphone-based solution, right?

While it's not meant to replace clinical methods, itâs an excellent tool for tracking trends and staying consistent in monitoring your progress. Youâll see how your body is changing over time, which is what can really matter for people on a given fitness journey.
Have you tried using calipers or DEXA before? Iâd love to hear how you think our app compares if you do give it a go!
@turab_ansari You can track muscle imbalances with our Symmetry analysis feature. As for the posture, it's not yet included as a feature by itself since it can be viewed in the 3D avatar, but if it's something that gets requested a lot, we will surely make sure to include it :)
