Body Scans at Crunch Fitness USA

Franchises are choosing Fit3D over BIA scan technology. Find out what this Crunch franchisee has to say about Fit3D.

Fit3D is the preferred assessment tool used by Crunch Fitness nationally. Like so many other facilities that use Fit3D technology, they found that the reports & 3D avatar produced by the scanner were extremely effective at retaining clients in their personal training program.

Evan, a manager at Crunch Fitness, shares a personal experience about his weight loss journey and using the Fit3D Body Scanner. Although he was losing weight, taking 3D body scans with Fit3D highlighted that he wasn’t quite where he wanted to be. He says that using body fat % alongside actual lean & fat mass numbers instead of just weight helped him focus on eating and specific workouts to target problem areas of the body. Him and his personal trainers use this same methodology to perform baseline assessments with the system for their clients.

During these assessments, clients are also paired with a certified fitness trainer who talks through the results with them and hand-tailors the workouts to what the client wants to achieve. They then continue to use Fit3D scans to monitor their clients’ progress over time and ensure they are on track and making adjustments as needed. While this helps ensure a better member experience, this directly also translates into increased lifetime value per customer & increased revenue from PT as well.

Find out why leaders in the fitness space are choosing Fit3D to transform their operations & elevate their member experience.

What Is a 3D Body Scan in a Gym?

A 3D body scan is a camera-based measurement system that uses computer vision to calculate external body measurements.

Unlike bioimpedance scales, 3D scanning:

Measures full body circumference data
Provides visual progress comparisons
Tracks posture changes
Creates a repeatable measurement baseline

For gyms, this turns transformation programs into measurable, trackable results instead of guesswork.

Why Large Gym Chains Use Body Scanning

Enterprise brands invest in body scanning because it:

Improves member accountability
Increases program conversions
Reduces churn
Creates premium coaching experiences
Helps sell higher-ticket training packages

Members who can see measurable progress stay longer and invest more.

But until recently, this type of technology required expensive hardware, shipping delays, and long-term contracts.

That has changed.

This is what modern deployment looks like.

How Multi-Location Gym Operators Use Scan Data to Improve Performance

For operators managing multiple facilities, 3D scan data becomes more than a member tool — it becomes an operational intelligence system. Corporate will use scan frequency as a measure of user intention and a pre-churn risk factor. When it dips, they know to engage with a member more. Additionally, Corporate will compare scan counts per location with close rates - which signals which teams are using scans as a sales tool the best.

Multi-location operators use scan data to:

Compare transformation results across locations
Identify high-performing coaches
Benchmark average fat loss or circumference changes
Standardize onboarding protocols
Improve retention programs

When one location consistently produces stronger measurable outcomes, leadership can identify what’s working and replicate it. This elevates all locations and improves operational efficiency between locations. Body scanning shifts from being a “cool feature” to a learning resource between multiple locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Crunch location offer body scans?

No. Body scanning availability depends on the individual franchise owner.

Can independent gyms use the same technology?

Yes. Any gym, studio, or personal trainer can deploy Fit3D SNAP with only a compatible tablet and subscription.

How much does it cost to start?

Hardware: approximately $160 for a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ ( $160 seen online )
Subscription: $100 per month
No long-term contracts.

Is SNAP accurate?

Yes. SNAP provides repeatable circumference measurements ideal for tracking progress and transformation programs. It's on par with BIA systems such as InBody, but also has visual reports and measurements that those older platforms are missing.

How long does setup take?

SNAP is simple & fast to get setup. You simply get an approved tablet, download the app, and go. Unlike a traditional B2B sales model, there is no waiting on shipping logistics or lengthly installation processes. Most operators order their tablet and are scanning the next day. Complete installation time to first scan takes about 5-10 minutes. Deployment across an entire organization can be done in days, not months, for instant ROI & transformational change.
