This was my second/follow-up test that I did with Jolen and it never disappoints me for visiting! The first time I did it, it was back in Carlsbad about two years ago when the pandemic wasn't around. But because pandemic hit, he's been located in the lower San Diego area, which I don't mind since it's worth going for this! My second or follow up test was back in Nov 2020. Before you visit, make sure to wear a swimsuit underneath or anything that you're okay to get wet in because YOU WILL GET WET! The truck inside was well sanitized as Jolen was wearing a mask the whole time and would reassure that everything was cleaned and not to worry. Jolen is very knowledgeable and a positive person who will help you with understanding what your results are and how to reach your goals. He was very patient with me of helping me perform how to get an accurate result with two different ways of doing it. I will admit that I was struggling quite a bit but he was helping me very well to make sure I did it right. With the results that I got, he was very encouraging that I did very well and to keep it up and giving me some tips on how to achieve my goals. I definitely know I want to come here for an appointment as a yearly check-up! It's worth it for sure and makes me feel motivated to be sure that I do well every year and to see good results! Can't wait to see what my results turn out at the end of this year! read more

Well worth the cost and time to get this done if you are serious about measuring your health progress or status. The process was quick and easy and Jolen was knowledgeable and friendly. I did the combo deal to measure now vs. my goal in 5 months. Whole thing probably took no more than 15-20 min for the initial weighing and I suspect the subsequent ones will be even faster. It is $35 for subsequent weighings (prepaid at the last weighing) which is very reasonable for a useful bit of information to keep tabs on your muscle mass while losing weight (losing fat vs. muscle?) so you can tweak your diet/exercise regimen. read more

Everything I expected. Jolen is knowledgeable and full of suggestions. Will be going back for a follow up in a few weeks.

This review is long overdue for a great test with Jolen. My hubby and I signed up for his weight loss challenge before Thanksgiving and received an initial test and then one at the end of the challenge. He is quick and efficient while also being friendly and accommodating. It is an interesting experience and definitely recommend getting your body fat tested via hydrostatic at some point to give yourself a realistic view of your body composition as well as advice on how to meet your goals. read more

Whether you're a data geek about fitness, need a kick in the butt to get back into shape (numbers don't lie!) or need help with a fitness plan to get on track, Jolen is a great option. The facility is clean (extra COVID clean) and he's a ridiculously knowledgeable human when it comes to fitness and performance. You get your results that day and an analysis of the data. He'll ask questions about your goals and how you live, but there's no hard sell to try to get you to buy into any services or training. The sessions are private, but since I go with my wife would guess you could probably go with a friend. Go wearing a bathing suit, and make sure to bring a towel and hoody to dry off with after. read more

Just went after doing my homework and wanted to leave a review. Jolen is awesome... very attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic. I feel motivated and got much Notre out of our appt then measurements. HIGHLY recommend this guy read more

#35 of 100 Yelp Reviews 2016 "Does your review even lift, brah?" The next level of accurate body composition analysis is here! No more calipers haha. I am grateful to have been able to experience this kind of testing through my gym training program. This was quick, easy, detailed, and informative. The owner of this clinic, Jolen holds various dates for testing throughout the year, and he has an online calendar to show his appearances around town. The clinic is actually inside a big truck, and he travels all around the county with it. Pretty cool concept I thought. The whole dunk/tank process takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Yup, you will get wet. Easy come, easy go. I felt like a "Dunkaroo" cookie snack. except with less icing. The actual discussion of the results that you get with Jolen is where I feel where the benefits yield at. It turned out that I was at good transition body fat percentage already, but nonetheless can definitely improve some more. He discusses your resting metabolic rate, possible fitness goals, recommendations on how to get to those goals, and give a realistic game plan. Oh yeah, he can not also remove the body fat, just measure. Just so you know. Jolen is friendly, passionate about his work, and helpful in kick starting your fitness pathway. Hopefully this review is all lean, muscular, and 5% body fat. Thanks for the great experience, and see ya at the re-dunk in July! read more

See all

Bought a two-test package - used the first one and they won't honor the second prepaid test. Won't return any phone calls or emails. Not sure this place is even still operating. If it is, only pay for what you already received. Don't pay for anything in advance. read more

I FINALLY GOT TANKED! When you step into the tank with Body Fat Testing guru Jolen it's impossible to be disappointed! If you want to see fitness results, take it a step beyond the scale and he is highly recommendable for an accurate reading of your body fat % and for a better understanding of the nutrition your body needs! Knowledgeable, detailed, clear and concise. read more

Jolen just plain knows his stuff! This is such a convenient and well-priced service that really gives you one of the most accurate body composition measurements available (second only to expensive DEXA scans) and the addition of Jolen's knowledge and helpfulness makes it more than worth doing. Get the Test+Retest option for a discounted rate rather than buying individual tests and get your results moving in the right direction with Jolen's help! read more

Jolen is one of the most enthusiastic health professionals I've ever met! I've done body fat tests (same truck) in Seattle and Denver. In terms of advice given, he definitely gives them a run for their money. What's outstanding about Jolen: 1. Enthusiasm 2. Takes the time to calculate your total daily caloric expenditure (weekly exercises taken into account). 3. Fantastic advice on how to get into a 500 calorie deficit which not many people mention. 4. You can tell he cares for his truck - he scoops the water a few times with a net and told me he calibrated the scale a few days ago. 5. He emails or texts you a receipt. I highly recommend Jolen. What a solid guy. read more

I just had the body fat test done. I love that it is a mobile truck. Jolen was super helpful and informative. He was very thorough and made sure that he got the most accurate results possible. Basically you come in with your bathing suit and towel and sit in a warm tub of water. The most awkward part is trying to get all of the air out of your body by exhaling which took me several tries. Jolen was super patient and ensured he got the most accurate read he could. After it was over which only took about 5 minutes he printed off an analysis and went over all of the results with me. I have never had anything like this done, so it was great information and will really help me see my goals and results. You can also opt to have a re-test done to ensure that you are reaching your goals. I highly recommend having this test done. read more

Love this place! The man (don't remember his name) was very informative and accommodating. Not only did he provide me with a towel (I forgot mine!) but he was all about what the customer wants out of his/her physique. He thoroughly debriefed me afterward on what all the numbers meant and how to achieve my goals. Will definitely come back in a few months. read more

If you are interested in bettering yourself in your health and lifestyle, Jolen at Body Fat Test SD is the #1 person! He provides in depth, clear data depending on what you are wanting to accomplish individually and work with you in whatever aspects you like in order for you to succeed. He is an amazing resource that will keep you accountable in getting after your fitness and life goals. He worked with me to develop an eating plan in which I needed to consume a certain amount of calories each day in order to maintain a consistent level of nutrients and reduce the amount of depletion that my body was experiencing due to my diet and working out habits. He helped me achieve my goal of losing body fat and gaining muscle in less than 12 weeks. I feel confident in knowing that he will always be there to support me and to go back to if I ever need to reassess where I am at. read more

Why didn't I do this sooner?! The thought of getting in a swimsuit pre-summer and splashing in a mobile bathtub was kind of weird. It was not weird AT ALL! It was super clean, super easy, sparkly warm water, and Jolen makes the whole experience comfortable. The best part is you get lots of data back. Lots. It's the full package. And then you sit down and review the numbers, your goals, and how you can work to achieve them. Don't wait. If you want to get svelte for summer and need the extra edge, do it now. June will be here in a hot minute. Thank you Jolen! read more

The best way to stay true to your fitness goals is by constantly checking in with your progress. Hydrostatic testing by Jolen is the most accurate, fast, and easy way to get it done. I have been dunked by Jolen 3 times now and each time my body fat has dropped!!! He goes over everything you need to know to accomplish your goals, and is fun and informative as he walks you through the process. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Jolen will take care of you and lead you in the right direction no matter what your goals are- building muscle, loosing weight, or maintaining. The man knows how to get you there. I am a firm believer that THIS is what sets him apart from his competitors. Try it out! Prices are great, and it is a great experience. read more

Never thought I would need to know what my body fat % was. I'm a relatively healthy guy and work out 5 times a week. Sometimes I do doubles. However, after meeting with Jolen at the Body Fat Truck and got tanked, my results inspired me to push for greater. Not just my workouts but my nutrition. He provided me with a personal daily calorie intake recommendation that was personalized based off my schedule. Jolen is knowledgeable, professional and an easy guy to talk to. Highly recommend trying it out and feeling the competitive inspiration I now have to reduce my body fat % and build more lean mass. Thank you Jolen! read more

Soooo informing! Jolen is so knowledgeable. He walks you through every step of the way and puts a lot of effort and patience into making sure you get the most accurate reading. The dunk tank and the whole clinic is well kept and hygienic. This whole process took so much guessing out of my routine. Jolen was able to tell me my resting metabolic weight and give me a personalized recommendation of nutritional intake. This is much more than a test, it's a consultation too! read more

Jolen is amazing! I drive from LA to SD just to see him. I send friends over & sometimes the drive is 7 hours! Why? Because he cares! He truly cares & that has earned him my loyalty. I was once in a wheel chair & 390lbs & 44% body fat. I am now 165 and 10% & Jolen deserves the credit for it. I not only endorse the method he uses which is the best I highly endorse him! My pant size is 30! If that will not convince you to use him I don't know what will! Don't try the rest, go to the best. This is the time to make a change in your life. I am not any stronger than you, probably weaker, but with the right support I did it & so can you! read more

Simple yet effective process to test your body fat! Jolen runs the mobile truck on his own and clearly has years of expertise to back up his advice. I was looking for a quick test/explanation and Body Fat Test Truck provided all that. Even the website and appointment page were easy to navigate! read more

Look no further for a life changing, game changing experience than visiting Jolen at the Body Fat Test! 3 years ago I thought I was in pretty good shape but never would know if I was getting results since the scale stayed the same. I took the plunge at Body Fat Test San Diego and from there was able to shape by fitness goals with consistency, hard work, and of course, an overview of RESULTS that actually paint the big picture! Jolen has always been so encouraging and always motivated me to be at my absolute best. I've gone from 20% Bodyfat (same weight) to 13% in these few years and am in the best shape of my life. I've never starved myself and I've always been realistic, there is no "quick fix"! Jolen helped me realize that my goals are an important part of my lifestyle and I could achieve them. This is a MUST of all of my fitness students, I tell them all they have to at least give it a try! Being true to yourself will give you the roadmap to reach your potential and with Jolen's professional and enthusiastic attitude, he can be your number one cheerleader on your journey! read more

If you're like me, you probably been working out and achieving some of your goals but you don't really know where you stand overall. (Don't act like I don't know you peep out your girlfiends in admiration working out next to you at the gym). Jolen and his mobile Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing service broke down my indivudial results. My results challenged me to work out smarter. The dunk test, which is the most accurate way to measure body fat as well as lean mass (what I care most about) has allowed me to modify 1) my caloric intake especially when doing 2 a days at Orangetheory and 2) my mindset towards reaching my goals. I've gotten dunked 2 times this year (approximately 6 weeks apart) and I couldn't be happier with my results. My body shape, appearance and my lean muscle mass gain has been amazing! Know how I know that? Being tested regularly is my key to staying focused towards achieving my goals. The difference in my body fat to lean fat ratio is what Jolen tests! I'm not the only one that has noticed the difference in my appearance. Jolen, a true professional has provided me with a plethora of information that I have found invaluable in reaching my personal goals. He genuinely cares about me as his client and he is sincere in wanting me to be successful in reaching my goals. I would recommend Jolen and his Hydrostatic Body Fat Test service to EVERYONE who wants to know their actual baseline (no, not the number your bathroom scale says that morning) and what you should be working towards. If you're like me, you WANT to ensure that what you're doing is going to make a difference towards reducing body fat and gaining lean mass! Think sexy, toned muscles. Jolen is great and his service continues to keep me motivated to get better, faster, leaner and stronger! You have nothing to lose but the guesswork and ALOT of unwanted chub rub aka that $#!t that rubs between my thighs. You WILL gain the friendship and professionalism of a man I respect whole heartedly will telling me the truth about reaching goals! Stop waiting! The new year is coming quick and you want to get your body ready for summer! Start with Jolen! You won't be disappointed! read more

This is the absolute best way to test your body composition and Jolen is the absolute best person to walk you through and complete this process. He is a consummate professional -- extremely knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging and friendly. From the moment you meet him, he behaves responsibly, and with kindness, and communicates clearly and effectively. I am not one that likes putting on a bathing suit in front of people (especially someone who is very fit), thus why the body fat testing. Despite my reluctance, Jolen makes you feel comfortable and quickly detailed the best way to complete the testing process so I could do it and be done without much angst. The actual testing process is quite painless. The water is clear and warm, and if you can go underwater briefly in a pool, this will be no problem for you. If I could make any recommendation it would be practice completely ridding your lungs of air and know what that feels like before you get in the tank. Air measures as fat, so blow it all out! Once the test was done, Jolen reviewed my numbers with me, made recommendations on how I should change my nutritional habits to achieve the results I desire, and encouraged me to continue on toward my goals and retest in a few months... which I will, without reservation. read more

The Body Fat Test is so easy & fast! The water is nice and warm (for those of us who worry about those things!) and Jolen makes it a seamless process. Once you dunk and get the results, he breaks down your goals & how to achieve them in a realistic way. I walked away with a ton of info about my body & a plan of action to get some results! Jolen is genuine and passionate about helping people get healthier. If you want to dial in your nutrition/fitness routines & get serious about changing your body, Jolen is your guy! read more

This was a very detailed analysis of my body fat percentage, lean mass, fat mass, and resting metabolic rate. Jolen was so thorough and knowledgable! I compared this test to a test I did 2 years ago, and I was so surprised to see that I weighed 1.4 lbs more than at that point, but I had lost 8 lbs of fat and had gained 10 lbs in muscle, so my body composition was completely different! Six weeks later I did another test at the end of a challenge I was participating in, and I was down 1 more lb, but that wasn't the whole story. I had lost 3 more lbs of fat, and gained 2 more of muscle. I'll never rely on a scale again! This company will have me as a regular for sure. I went from 26% bf and I'm now at 18%. I'm looking forward to hitting my goals and getting down to 15%. Awesome company, and awesome employees. read more

Such a great experience! Jolen not only made me feel comfortable but his knowledge of nutrition was amazing! I learned so much about what's best for MY body and my goals.

Thanks Jolen! read more

I'm not generally a big fan of giving 5 star reviews, there's always room for improvement...But in this case I can't think of anything that the truck owner/operator could do better. I've been dunked by Jolen three times and every time he is kind, professional, and informative. He never makes me feel bad about where I'm at or pressured to do anything other than be informed about what my body is actually burning. If you are trying to achieve any fitness goals, this is a wonderful resource. Knowing how much to eat based on your physical make up is the way to get started. This is easy, fast, and an invaluable resource. read more

This truck is amazing!! Jolen is so knowledgeable, he explained the entire test, all the results including diet and exercise. He also explained why this is the most accurate way to do body fat testing. I've already referred my boyfriend and friends who are excited to get their results. I looking forward to following up on his recommendations! read more

Jolen was incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and professional! He made sure that I was well informed about the purpose of each step of the process and managed to do so in a very timely manner. I was in and out within 15 minutes but did not feel rushed at all, in fact, I left feeling very secure about what my body needed moving forward due to his thorough explanations of his analyses. I will definitely be doing a follow up with him! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Thank you Jolen and BFT Truck! I've been hesitant to try the body fat test because I've been very happy where I've been on my fitness journey but so happy I did. As a fitness professional I feel confident in most all aspects of fitness but know I can always learn more. That was definitely the case with the BFT. I learned so much about my body composition and how to balance caloric intake with everything I do from work, recreational sport to fitness activity. read more

After getting dunked I feel like I'm really able to dial down on my fitness goals. Not only did I find out what my body fat is but Jolen went over how many calories I should be eating on workout days and nonworkout days. Really useful information!! Thanks jolen! read more

Jolen is awesome !! Like most people I have let myself go the past few years I use to be a fitness freak with all the extra training that went along with it. So I found a great gym and now I need to figure my starting point. I looked on Yelp and found the Body Fat Test. I called Jolen and I asked him about his services he took the time to explain to me what he offered and I set up an appoint with him a few days later. When I showed up Jolen was ready for me to jump in. So we did I was in and out of the water in a few min. It was fast, easy and surprisingly comfortable. Than he took even more time to sit down with me and go over the results. You can tell he loves what he does and gave me a ton of tips how to reach my goals. I plan to go back to him in 8 weeks to see if there are any changes to my results. This was all part of the package. Great place to go. Check him out. read more

I had a few questions about my nutrition plan and he was more than willing to take the time and give me the advice needed. read more
