Hi everyone,

 

My partner and I bought an Aria 2 scale to support our fitness journey. We wanted to be able to track body fat percentage. It kept showing that I have a BF percentage of 38,9%, which is obese. As it turns out my actual BF percentage is 28,7%. Is there anything we can do about this? I can understand a bit of an inaccuracy, but 9% seems a bit extreme to me.

Hello @I90 and a warm welcome.  I had a similar experience.  Even though I am not an elite athlete, I put my setting into Lean Mode.  Tap on your Profile pic > Aria 2 > People Using This Scale > your name > toggle to Lean Mode.  It made a difference for me.

I advocate for this as well. Not an elite athlete but BF% Readings are pretty close in line with my own measurements in Lean as opposed to Regular.

 

Personal: ~44-45%
Lean Mode: 43%
Regular: 39%
