Tanita Professional The TANITA Professional body composition monitors are first choice among Fitness professionals! 💪 trusted worldwide.

Tanita introduced the world's first integrated body composition analyzer/scale to the professional markets in 1992. The company's success and expanding global presence is the result of superior technology, unique design, and high manufacturing standards that have earned ISO 9001 certification, CE marking, membership in the JQA (Japanese Quality Association), FDA clearance and the Good Housekeeping Seal. In addition to the parent company headquarters in Tokyo, Tanita maintains six sister companies strategically located to meet the challenges of international business. Creating a New Market Category
For the last 40 years of its 63-year history, Tanita's core business has been the manufacturing of precision scales. Today, Tanita is looking beyond scales to products that enable consumers to monitor their own health. Based on medical evidence linking excess body fat to heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, Tanita introduced the world's first integrated body composition analyzer/scale to the professional markets in 1992. Using the same technology used in our professional analyzers Tanita developed the world's first scale plus body fat monitor for home use in 1994. Tanita's accuracy innovation and durability are trusted worldwide. This pioneering work has led to the creation of an entirely new category of consumer products that could make the conventional weight scale obsolete. Tanita's Mission
Tanita's goal is to help people enjoy healthier lives. In 1990, the Tanita Best Weight Research and Development Center was established to fulfill this commitment. The Center, located in Tokyo, studies the relationship between a person's weight and well-being by analyzing not only medical and nutritional conditions, but also the impact of physical activity, psychological stress and sociological factors. Public Awareness Initiatives
Tanita commissions the Annual American Body Fat Perception Poll, a national research survey to measure Americans' understanding of important health and fitness issues. To date, poll findings confirm Americans' lack of understanding which may be putting them at increased risk for serious health complications. In addition, most falsely believe that reducing body fat is a short-term proposition. Tanita sponsors a Research Networking Program to develop credible research into body composition issues. Tanita makes its equipment (professional and consumer) available and serves as a clearing house for up-to-the-minute information on weight management. Tanita is an active, charter member of the Partnership for Healthy Weight Management, a Federal Trade Commission sponsored coalition to promote sound guidance for achieving and maintaining healthy weight. It is comprised of over 40 organizations and individuals from industry, public advocacy, government agencies, scientific associations and academia. Together with other concerned organizations, Tanita has developed a Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign targeting the professional medical communities regarding the risks and implications of obesity and other weight management issues. The first of these messages appeared in the July 1999 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and American Family Physician. Tanita proudly donates time, equipment, funding, and other resources to a variety of community and school events at local, state, national, and international levels.

Honey & Tea: Small Autumn Habits That Matter for BMI

A warm cup of tea with honey is a comforting autumn tradition, but how does it affect body weight, BMI, and overall health?
Honey contains antioxidants and may help soothe coughs and sore throats. Green and black teas provide polyphenols, which have antioxidant properties, while unsweetened tea contributes to daily hydration without adding significant calories.
However, honey is still a source of sugar. Regularly adding large amounts can increase daily calorie intake and potentially contribute to weight gain over time, affecting BMI. According to the WHO, limiting free sugars is an important part of maintaining a healthy diet.
For healthcare professionals, BMI is a useful starting point, but it cannot distinguish between fat and muscle. TANITA body composition analysis can provide additional insights into fat mass, muscle mass, and changes over time, helping professionals support more personalised nutritional guidance.
Enjoying tea with a little honey can fit into a balanced lifestyle. The key is moderation, consistent healthy habits, and understanding health beyond BMI alone.

Maintaining Stamina Indoors: Fitness Tips for Older Adults

Cold weather, darker days, and slippery streets can make outdoor activity harder for older adults. But stamina can still be maintained indoors with simple, consistent movement.
Start with low-impact cardio such as indoor walking, cycling on a stationary bike, marching in place, or gentle step-ups. Short sessions can work well: 10 to 15 minutes at a comfortable pace, repeated during the day, can help maintain endurance without feeling overwhelming.
Strength training is also important. Chair squats, wall push-ups, resistance band rows, heel raises, and light dumbbell exercises can support muscle mass, balance, and daily mobility. Combining cardio with strength work helps older adults stay active, independent, and confident.
Balance and flexibility should not be skipped. Gentle stretching, seated mobility exercises, yoga, or tai chi-inspired movements can support coordination and reduce stiffness during colder months.
For fitness professionals, body composition monitoring can add useful context by tracking changes in muscle mass, fat mass, body water, and progress over time. This helps older members see that stamina is not only about “doing more,” but about maintaining strength, movement quality, and consistency.
Indoor fitness does not need to be intense. It needs to be safe, regular, and adapted to the person.

Cold Weather Muscle Training: Start Warmer, Train Smarter

Cold weather can make the body feel stiff at the start of a workout. Muscles, joints, and connective tissue may need more time to feel ready, especially for strength training, outdoor sessions, or early-morning workouts.
The first step is a longer warm-up. Start with light cardio such as walking, cycling, rowing, or jogging, then move into dynamic exercises like squats, lunges, hip openers, arm circles, and controlled rotations. The goal is to increase circulation and prepare the muscles before adding heavier loads.
Strength training remains important during colder months. Focus on controlled movements, good technique, and progressive overload instead of rushing into maximum effort. Exercises such as squats, deadlifts, rows, presses, step-ups, and core work can help maintain muscle mass, strength, and stability throughout autumn and winter.
Recovery also matters. Colder weather can make people drink less, but hydration still supports performance and recovery. Protein-rich meals, enough sleep, and regular movement between workouts all help the body adapt.
With TANITA body composition monitoring, fitness professionals can track changes in muscle mass, fat mass, and progress trends over time. This helps members see that winter training is not only about staying active. It is about building consistency, protecting strength, and understanding progress beyond weight alone.

Autumn Warm-Ups: Prepare the Body Before You Train

As temperatures drop, the body can feel stiffer at the start of a workout. A good warm-up helps increase circulation, improve mobility, activate the muscles, and prepare the body for safer, more effective movement.
For autumn training, start with light cardio such as walking, cycling, rowing, or jogging for a few minutes, followed by dynamic movements like leg swings, arm circles, hip openers, lunges, bodyweight squats, and controlled rotations. The goal is not to get tired before the workout, but to help the body feel ready.
Consistency will support the recomposition efforts. The TANITA App Universe and TANITA Pro Software can support this by helping professionals save, analyse, and monitor body composition results over time, including muscle mass, fat mass, and progress trends. When warm-ups, training, and recovery become part of a consistent routine, members can better understand how their body is adapting beyond weight alone.
Autumn fitness is not only about training harder. It is about starting smarter, moving consistently, and using data to stay motivated.

Healthy Habits for Children’s Immune Support

For children, immune health is not supported by one “remedy.” It depends on daily habits: balanced meals, enough sleep, regular movement, hydration, hygiene, and age-appropriate vaccination where recommended.
Food is a good place to start. Colourful fruit and vegetables, whole grains, beans, yoghurt, eggs, fish, lean meat, tofu, nuts or seeds where age-appropriate, and enough fluids can help provide nutrients children need for growth and immune function.
Simple home support can include warm soups, water or unsweetened warm drinks, outdoor play when possible, and consistent bedtime routines. Handwashing, covering coughs, and staying home when sick also remain important during flu season.
For healthcare professionals, next to dietary habits, BMI can be part of the conversation. Although, BMI does not show the full picture. Growth, nutrition quality, activity, sleep, medical history, and body composition all provide better context when supporting children’s health.
Healthy routines are the real remedy. Small daily habits help children build resilience through autumn and beyond.

Scale Placement Can Improve Member Engagement

A body composition scale works best when it is part of the member journey, not hidden in a corner. Place it in a quiet, semi-private assessment area near onboarding, personal training, or consultation spaces so members feel comfortable and coaches can turn results into useful conversations.
The setup should also support measurement consistency. Bioelectrical impedance analysis can be affected by hydration, food or drink intake, recent exercise, body position, and skin temperature, so gyms should use a clear routine and measure members under similar conditions where possible.
For gym operators, the right placement can support more than measurement. TANITA highlights that body composition assessments can improve member communication, support progress reviews, and create opportunities for services such as personal training, nutrition coaching, and structured check-ins.
A good scale location should feel accessible, private, stable, and connected to coaching. When the measurement leads to a better conversation, it becomes part of retention, not just a number.
