Progress photos you can compare
How should I take gym progress photos?
Use the same distance, light, and pose, log weight and tape, and compare checks weeks apart. Arvo Check keeps that timeline. A single selfie is not a body-fat lab test.
Progress-photo SERPs are not food-diary SERPs. Yazio tracks weight inside the diary. Lifters also want front/side shots next to the sessions and meals of that week.
Check is that log: a check with photos and measurements, later a comparison. Analysis uses consent and a monthly quota from your plan — we do not print a Free/Pro number here because the live limit is the feature matrix, not a marketing guess.
A useful check
1. Match conditions
Same time of day, similar light, same stance. Otherwise the photo lies.
2. Add numbers
Scale and tape belong with the photos. A shot without a measurement is harder to read later.
3. Compare later
Open two checks. Notes and existing analyses stay on those checks; starting a new analysis is a separate action.
Not the body-fat calculator
Navy-method body fat lives on the body-composition calculator. Check is the history of your photos and tape, plus optional analysis of a check you already saved.
Tied to Fuel and training
- Food diary — Meals of the same week as the check.
- Photo meals — A plate photo is not a physique photo.
- Check journey — Walkthrough on Features.
FAQ
Does a photo give an exact body-fat %?
No. Treat photo analysis as a comment on the check you saved, not a DEXA result.
Is Check only for coaches?
Athletes log their own checks. Coaches see a client’s checks when the relationship is active.
Do I need Fuel to use Check?
No. They share the week in the product, but a check does not require a food diary.
