Unlock peak performance with the Marsden MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyser
Published on 16 Dec 2025
Working out isn’t just about looking good, it’s about results. While muscle mass matters, muscle quality is the true indicator of athletic performance.
Keeping tabs on whether your clients’ training programmes are impacting them in the right way based on their individual body make-up and performance is an ongoing challenge. With so many different key variables, ranging from muscle quality and abdominal fat to muscle-weight analysis and health score, to monitor, there’s a lot to factor in every time they work out.
Introducing – the Marsden MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyser 
The MA801 isn’t just a scale, it’s an advanced diagnostic tool that provides deep insights into body physiology. With over 25 impedance measurements across five body segments, it provides physios and performance coaches with the data they need to:
-
Isolate limb-specific data - track muscle and fat in each arm, leg and trunk and spot imbalances or weaknesses
-
Support injury rehabilitation - monitor progress in the exact muscle groups impacted by injury
-
Reduce risk of re-injury - by uncovering asymmetries before they develop into performance-limiting problems
-
Track muscle quality, not just quantity - making sure your clients build functional strength, not just size
One system, countless invaluable insights
Unlike traditional body composition systems, the MA801 has been developed to go that one step further by generating the widest range of insights, including:
-
Phase angle - a cellular health marker strongly linked to resilience, recovery and readiness
-
Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA) - assesses hydration and nutrition status and is crucial for managing high-intensity performance
-
Visceral fat and abdominal fat - provides advanced risk indicators for metabolic health, making sure individuals’ performance and long-term wellbeing are factored in
-
Grip strength estimation – this is a proven predictor of muscle function, strength and mobility
Tracy Stanbrook, Head of Sales says: “For elite athletes, the difference between peak performance and injury can come down to the smallest of margins. Thanks to our MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyser, precision data on body composition and muscle balance is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’, it’s an essential, easy to access output.
“Clients need to know if their training habits are creating imbalances that may reduce efficiency and increase the risk of injury long-term. Keeping track of muscle and fat in different body segments to determine if clients are properly developed and balanced is central to unlocking sustained results.
“By generating the most advanced body composition analysis data, the MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyser has set a new benchmark in the world of clinical body composition analysis. Now it’s possible to make invisible changes, such as muscle imbalances and early fatigue markers, visible, and make the necessary changes to training programmes, protecting and boosting performance in the process.”
Seamless integration & results - in seconds 
Leveraging the latest connected technology, the Marsden MA801 has been specifically designed to fit effortlessly into high performance workflows - the data syncs via USB, Bluetooth or wi-fi. And it can generate an easy-to-read full analysis in less than 50 seconds for players, personal trainers, coaches, physios and other medical team members.
The smallest of changes to training programmes can make the biggest of differences. Now it’s possible to make more informed changes, keeping you acutely aware of those precise measurements that are capable of protecting individuals’ health while also pushing their performance boundaries.
