Forget The Dial. The Hume Body Pod Scans What's Really Changing.

A home body composition scanner reporting 45 markers per scan — body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, metabolic age, BMR and more — through patented dual-point sensor technology, lab-verified to 98% accuracy.

Body Fat %, Muscle Mass, Visceral Fat, Bone Mass, Body Water %, Metabolic Age, BMR, BMI, Lean Mass, Skeletal Muscle Mass, a full segmental breakdown by arm, leg and torso, plus an overall Health Score — 45 markers in total.

£179 at the current offer (normally £275 — 35% off), as a single purchase with no subscription needed. The free Hume Health app logs all 45 markers. An optional Premium tier (£8.49/month, cancel any time) adds nutrition tracking, personalised coaching, and full weekly health reports.

A clinical body scan is the gold standard but typically costs over £100 a visit and requires booking a clinic slot. A standard consumer smart scale manages around 89% accuracy at best, reading through your feet alone. The Hume Body Pod's handheld sensor bar delivers a full-body scan at 98% lab-verified accuracy, in one at-home purchase.

Yes. BIA scanning has more than two decades of safe use behind it, in both clinical and consumer settings. The Hume Body Pod's patented frequency is tuned for extra precision. Anyone fitted with a pacemaker should check with their GP before use.

Yes — everyone signs in with their own Hume account for accurate individual tracking. Since it pairs over Bluetooth, only one phone connects at a time; simply open the app and step on to scan.

The Hume Body Pod scans accurately up to 28 stone (roughly 180 kilograms).

Yes — the Hume Body Pod syncs with Apple Health, Fitbit, Garmin and more, so activity and sleep data appear alongside your body composition record in one place.

Of course — every order includes a 50-night free trial. Not the right fit? Send it back for a full refund, no questions asked.

The optional 10-Year Warranty covers the shell and every internal sensor for a full ten years, plus recalibration on request if accuracy ever seems to drift. Add it at checkout for £33, or £50 if added afterwards.

Withings and Fitbit scales read through your feet only, estimating composition from a signal that never reaches above your ankles. The Hume Body Pod's handheld sensor bar completes a proper full-body circuit instead, which is why it reaches 98% lab-verified accuracy against roughly 89% for feet-only devices. It's also the only one of the three that reports a per-limb segmental breakdown.

A private body composition scan in the UK usually costs £100–£200 per visit and needs a clinic appointment — most people fit in one or two a year at best. The Hume Body Pod costs £179 once and scans daily. Spread across a year of daily use, the cost per scan comes to next to nothing. For spotting trends and reacting to habit changes as they happen, the frequency advantage outweighs the marginal accuracy gap.

Both. Athletes use it for recomposition tracking — confirming muscle is being added while fat drops, catching limb imbalances, and monitoring recovery through body water and lean mass trends. Everyday users rely on it to track visceral fat, metabolic age, and long-term weight trends. Frank Gore and Sarah Bacon use it for athletic performance; tens of thousands of everyday UK users use it for general health tracking.

First thing, before food or drink, after using the bathroom. Hydration sits at its most consistent at that point in the day, and since BIA measures electrical resistance that shifts with hydration, consistent timing is what keeps your trend data trustworthy over weeks and months.

Yes. The Hume Body Pod tracks muscle mass and fat mass as separate figures, so total weight can rise while fat holds flat and muscle climbs — solid confirmation your training and diet are actually working. It flags the reverse just as clearly, if something needs a rethink. None of that shows up on a scale that only reports total weight.

The Pod needs the free Hume Health app (iOS and Android) to display results — the sensor collects raw data that the app then processes and presents. No paid tier is needed to view all 45 markers. Your phone must be within Bluetooth range during the scan itself, though results are saved and viewable at any point afterwards.

The Hume Body Pod rates visceral fat from 1 to 10. A score of 1–3 sits in the low, healthy range. 4–6 is moderate — lifestyle adjustments can make a real difference here. 7–10 signals elevated visceral fat, linked with greater metabolic and cardiovascular risk, and worth raising with your GP. Most people aim to keep this figure at 3 or under.

Yes — hydration changes from a meal, a hard session, or a sauna will temporarily move BIA readings. Entirely normal and expected. It's precisely why keeping a consistent scan time matters more than any single reading. Scan at the same time daily, ideally fasted in the morning, and pay attention to the weekly and monthly trend rather than individual data points.

Roughly 15 seconds from stepping on to seeing your results in the app. Bare feet on the platform, pick up the handheld sensor bar, hold still while the reading finishes, then set it down. Results sync to your phone immediately over Bluetooth — the whole thing adds about 20 seconds to your morning.

Every order includes a 50-night money-back guarantee starting the day it's delivered. Contact support via the Hume Health app or the email address on your order confirmation, and we'll send a prepaid return label. Refunds return to your original payment method within 5–7 working days of us receiving it back. There are no restocking charges, and no explanation needed.
