Body measurements · UK

Track body measurements as trends, with privacy and context intact

BestBody keeps body measurements in the progress view you control. Repeatable entries and longer-term trends are more useful than judging an isolated number, and the app does not invent body-fat calculations from unsupported inputs.

  • Supported measurements recorded consistently
  • Longer-term trend view
  • Private and optional progress context
The direct answer

Use consistent measurements to add context, not to define success

Record supported measurements under reasonably consistent conditions and review change across a useful timeframe. BestBody can place that trend beside training, nutrition and activity while preserving privacy controls. Measurements remain optional, personal and subject to ordinary recording variation.

What BestBody actually does

What to consider for body measurements.

01

Choose measurements relevant to the goal

Not every person needs every measurement. Select only supported entries that help answer a real progress question, and avoid collecting more personal information than is useful.

  • Relevant measurements only
  • User-controlled record
  • No invented estimates
02

Make repeat entries comparable

Timing, tape position, clothing and technique can affect a result. Use a consistent method where practical and treat small changes cautiously rather than manufacturing certainty.

  • Repeatable method
  • Measurement context
  • Normal variation acknowledged
03

Review the trend with other evidence

Strength, running, consistency and everyday capability may change even when one body measurement does not. BestBody’s connected view prevents a single figure becoming the whole definition of progress.

  • Training performance
  • Activity and consistency
  • Nutrition context without judgement
04

Keep the information private

Body information is personal. BestBody’s published privacy principles put the user in control of sharing; coaches receive permissioned information and teams receive aggregate participation rather than private individual detail.

  • Explicit sharing choices
  • Minimum necessary access
  • No sale of personal health data
