    I picked this up because im getting back into working as an advanced personal trainer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Since i dont want to break the budget and knowing body fat measurements are only one of several measurements factors when determining someones health fitness i figured these will work fine until i can afford a professional caliper

    Although they are somewhat large and clunky they do work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They do pinch a little as theyre supposed to if they dont pinch they are not measuring correctly
