Your Bathroom Scale Is Guessing. The Hume Pod Actually Knows.

It's a body composition scale for home use that reports 45 readings per weigh-in — body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, metabolic age, BMR and more — using patented dual-point sensor technology verified to 98% clinical-grade accuracy.

Body Fat %, Muscle Mass, Visceral Fat, Bone Mass, Body Water %, Metabolic Age, BMR, BMI, Lean Mass, Skeletal Muscle Mass, a full segmental breakdown by arm, leg and torso, plus an overall Health Score — 45 readings in total.

£179 right now (regularly £275 — 35% off), as a one-time purchase with no subscription required. The free Hume Health app tracks all 45 readings. An optional Premium plan (£8.49/month, cancel anytime) adds nutrition tracking, personalised coaching, and full weekly health reports.

A DEXA scan is the clinical gold standard but costs upwards of £100 a visit and means booking a clinic slot. A typical consumer smart scale only reaches around 89% accuracy, since it's reading through your feet alone. The Hume Pod's handheld sensor bar gives you a genuine full-body reading at 98% clinical-grade accuracy, for one single at-home purchase.

Yes. BIA sensor technology has a two-decade safety record across clinical and consumer devices. The Hume Pod's patented frequency is tuned specifically for extra precision. If you have a pacemaker, please check with your GP first.

Yes — each person signs in with their own Hume account for accurate individual tracking. Since it pairs over Bluetooth, only one phone can be actively connected at a time; simply open your app and step on to weigh in.

The Hume Pod tracks accurately up to 28 stone (roughly 180 kilograms).

Yes — the Hume Pod syncs with Apple Health, Fitbit, Garmin and more, so your activity and sleep data appear alongside your body composition trends in one place.

Absolutely — every order includes a 50-night free trial. If it's not for you, send it back for a full refund, no questions asked.

The optional 10-Year Warranty covers the shell and every internal sensor for a full decade, plus recalibration on request if accuracy ever seems to drift. Add it at checkout for £33 — it's £50 if you decide to add it after the fact.

Withings and Fitbit scales read through your feet only, so the signal never travels above your ankles before the estimate is calculated. The Hume Pod's handheld sensor bar closes a genuine full-body circuit instead, which is the reason it reaches 98% clinical-grade accuracy against roughly 89% for feet-only scales. It's also the only one of the three offering a per-limb segmental breakdown.

A private DEXA scan in the UK typically costs £100–£200 per session and needs a clinic appointment — most people manage one or two a year at most. The Hume Pod costs £179 once and measures daily. Over a year of daily weigh-ins, the cost per reading works out to next to nothing. For tracking trends and reacting to habit changes in real time, the frequency advantage outweighs the marginal accuracy difference.

Both. Athletes use it for recomposition tracking — confirming muscle is being built while fat is being lost, catching limb imbalances, and monitoring recovery through body water percentage and lean mass trends. Everyday users lean on it to track visceral fat reduction, metabolic age improvement, and long-term weight trend management. Frank Gore and Sarah Bacon use it for athletic performance; tens of thousands of everyday UK users rely on it for general health tracking.

First thing in the morning, before eating or drinking, after using the bathroom. Hydration is at its most consistent at this point in the day, which matters because BIA measures electrical resistance that shifts with hydration. Consistent timing is what makes your trend data reliable over weeks and months.

Yes. The Hume Pod tracks muscle mass and fat mass as separate figures, so you can watch total weight climb while fat holds steady and muscle rises — solid proof your training and diet are paying off. It works the other way too, flagging early when something in your routine needs a rethink. None of that distinction shows up on a scale that only reports total weight.

The scale needs the free Hume Health app (iOS and Android) to display your results — raw sensor data is processed and shown through the app. No paid subscription is needed to see all 45 readings. Your phone needs to be within Bluetooth range during a weigh-in, but results are stored and available to review any time afterwards.

The Hume Pod scores visceral fat 1–10. Scores of 1–3 are low and healthy. Scores of 4–6 are moderate — lifestyle changes can make a real difference here. Scores of 7–10 indicate elevated visceral fat linked to higher metabolic and cardiovascular risk, and are worth raising with your GP. Most people aim to reach and hold a score of 3 or below.

Yes — hydration shifts from a meal, a tough session, or a sauna temporarily move BIA readings. That's normal and expected. It's exactly why consistency in when you weigh in matters more than any single reading. Weigh in at the same time each day, ideally fasted in the morning, and focus on the weekly and monthly trend line rather than individual data points.

About 15 seconds from stepping on to seeing your results in the app. Step on barefoot, pick up the handheld sensor bar, hold steady while the reading completes, then put it down. Results sync to the app immediately over Bluetooth. The whole process adds roughly 20 seconds to your morning.

Every order comes with a 50-night money-back guarantee starting from your delivery date. Contact support through the Hume Health app or the email on your order confirmation, and we'll send a prepaid return label. Refunds land back on your original payment method within 5–7 working days of the return being received. No restocking fees, no questions asked.
