Know Your Numbers. Track Your Progress. Transform Your Body.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a useful screening tool that estimates body fat based on your height and weight. Use it as a starting point — your trainer can provide a more detailed body composition analysis.
Learn what your BMI number means and what the healthy ranges are for adults.
| Category | BMI Range | Description | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Underweight | Below 18.5 | Weight is lower than what is considered healthy for your height. | Increased risk of nutritional deficiencies, weakened immune system, and osteoporosis. |
| Normal Weight | 18.5 - 24.9 | Weight is within the healthy range for your height. Great job! | Lowest risk of weight-related health issues. Maintain through balanced diet and exercise. |
| Overweight | 25 - 29.9 | Weight is higher than the healthy range for your height. | Moderate risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. |
| Obese | 30 and above | Weight is significantly higher than the healthy range. | High risk of serious health conditions including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes. |
BMI is a general guideline and does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. Athletes and active individuals may have a higher BMI due to muscle mass. Always consult with a GYMAX trainer for a comprehensive fitness assessment.
Personalized suggestions to help you move toward a healthier BMI and improve your overall fitness.
Focus on nutrient-dense meals with healthy fats and quality proteins. Strength training 3-4 times per week helps build lean muscle. Consider working with a nutrition coach to create a calorie-surplus plan.
You're in a healthy range! Focus on maintaining balanced nutrition, regular exercise (strength + cardio), and adequate sleep. Set performance-based goals like lifting heavier or improving endurance.
Aim for 0.5-1 kg per week through a moderate calorie deficit. Combine strength training to preserve muscle with cardio for fat burn. Track your meals and stay consistent — GYMAX trainers can help design a plan.
Start with low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling. Focus on whole foods and portion control. We strongly recommend joining GYMAX for a structured program with professional guidance and a supportive community.
Your BMI is just one number. At GYMAX, we'll help you build a complete picture of your fitness and guide you every step of the way.
