Can You Do a BOD POD Test With Claustrophobia?

.

One of the most common questions I get about the BOD POD is:

“I’m highly claustrophobic. Will I be okay?”

The short answer is: yes, most people do just fine.

In fact, I’ve had many clients with claustrophobia tell me they were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the BOD POD felt, and that it was much easier to get through than they expected.

That’s also because the BOD POD can accommodate subjects up to 7 feet tall and 550 pounds, so it’s designed to comfortably fit people of all shapes and sizes.

What the BOD POD Feels Like Inside

It’s nothing like sitting inside a tight MRI machine.

• The BOD POD has a large window in front of you, so you never feel “sealed in.”
• There’s more headroom and space around your body than most people expect.
• The door only closes for a very short time—3 rounds of about 45 seconds each.
• For peace of mind, there’s even a panic button inside that immediately stops the test and lets you exit right away if you need to.

See It for Yourself

Sometimes it helps to see what the process looks like before you try it. Here’s a short demo video so you can preview exactly what to expect:

To reserve your spot, you’ll need to book and pay online. But here’s my promise:

If you arrive on test day and realize you just can’t go through with it, I’ll give you a full refund. That way you’re never out any money if you decide it’s not for you.
