	Celeste’s advice helped me to reach my goal of boxing in a lighter weight category. After changing some of my eating habits, I had more energy, recovered from my workouts faster, and I was able to make weight without too much difficulty. I also learned a lot about my nutritional and hydration requirements as an athlete before, during, and after competitions and workouts. Erin Krekoski National Level Boxer

We follow the ISAK protocol to measure 8 skinfolds as well as waist, hip, arm and calf girths. Body fat percentage can then be determined from these measurements.
