Council on Trax to raise awareness of health analysis service
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has taken a step forward in prioritizing community health by passing a motion to raise awareness of Boditrax – a free, medically approved body analysis service available to local residents.
A motion brought forward by Bridlington Councillor Jayne Phoenix received full cross-party support at a Full Council meeting.
The initiative aims to empower residents to take control of their health by utilising advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis technology.
A Boditrax machine is an advanced, medically trusted body composition analyzer widely used in gyms, leisure centres, and clinics.
The machine takes just 30 seconds to provide up to 20 key health metrics, helping users track fitness goals and cellular health.
In East Riding, the service operates on a free appointment basis at participating local library hubs, as well as at East Riding Leisure centres.
The free 30-minute consultations include a full body scan measuring 15 different metrics, such as bone mass, visceral fat, water content, metabolic rate, and metabolic age, with results easily tracked via the free Boditrax app.
Councillor Jayne Phoenix shared her personal discovery of the technology after attending the reopening of Bridlington North Library and urged both colleagues and residents to embrace the initiative.
Councillor Jayne Phoenix said: “Health and wellbeing is personally important, and as a ward councillor, the health and wellbeing of residents in East Riding is a priority, especially as we recently passed the motion on our prevention strategy.
“The staff are brilliant and patient, and I would like as many residents as possible to be made aware of this free service.
“I’m asking all councillors to try this service themselves.
“Let’s embrace our prevention strategy and lead by example, so we can pass on a positive experience to our residents and help to improve their health and wellbeing.”
