CERRITOS, Calif., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- InBody today announced the launch of a one-year fall prevention pilot with the City of Inglewood and the University of Southern California (USC), deploying its Fall Risk Assessment (FRA) system to help reduce fall risk among Inglewood seniors. The Inglewood City Council unanimously approved the initiative, which is backed by approximately $400,000 in city funding and supports Inglewood's goal of becoming the nation's second Blue Zone city.

Becoming a Blue Zone is among the most ambitious commitments a city can make. Of the world's five Blue Zones, only one sits on American soil, and Inglewood intends to become the second. The designation is earned over years rather than awarded, and it demands sustained change across an entire population. The city is starting where the stakes are highest: falls rank among the fastest contributors to lost independence in older age, and reducing them stands as an early, measurable test of Inglewood's resolve.

Inglewood's focus on falls is well founded: falls are the leading cause of injury and injury-related death among adults aged 65 and older in the United States, with one in four older adults experiencing a fall each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Falls contribute to more than $50 billion in annual U.S. healthcare costs, with the majority borne by Medicare and Medicaid. Yet more than 80% of fall risk factors are detectable months before a fall occurs. Traditional screenings, however, often identify them only after functional decline has already set in. The InBody FRA system was built to close that gap, delivering an objective, integrated assessment of the sensory, nervous, and musculoskeletal contributors to fall risk so health and wellness professionals can act early and with precision.

The FRA system integrates three devices into a single comprehensive evaluation: a force-plate kiosk for balance and reaction-time analysis, an InBody body composition analyzer to identify muscle imbalances and sarcopenia, and a leg-strength dynamometer for objective bilateral force output. In Inglewood, the system will be deployed at the Senior Center through KRU Sciences, an applied research company founded by USC researcher Malcolm Jones to translate science into accessible, real-world community impact. "The KRU Sciences Blue Zone Access Model is built around identifying risk early and measuring outcomes over time. We could not accurately do the assessment phase of that model without InBody's technology," said Jones. "The data allows KRU Sciences and the City of Inglewood to identify fall risk, personalize interventions, and track whether we're actually improving health outcomes in the community." Together, these elements give the city a measurable, replicable model for evidence-based senior wellness.

"At InBody, we believe meaningful health outcomes start with precise, accessible measurement, and the knowledge to act on it," said Harry Yun, Chief Executive Officer at InBody USA. "We're proud to partner with the City of Inglewood and USC on this initiative because it aligns directly with our mission: to empower people to better understand and improve their health. We're giving seniors and their care teams the tools to identify fall risk early, intervene with confidence, and stay active in the communities they helped build." 

The path to approval was driven by education and community advocacy. USC clinicians and local physical therapy partners advocated for the FRA system after seeing it in action, taking the case to local leaders and ultimately the city council, where dozens of seniors from the Inglewood Senior Center filled the chamber in support. Completed in 2022 with approximately $50 million in city investment, the Senior Center will host the year-long program.

"Reducing falls among our seniors is more than a public health priority. It's a measure of how well we care for the residents who built Inglewood," said James T. Butts Jr., Mayor of the City of Inglewood. "Partnering with InBody and USC gives our community the tools and the expertise to do this right, and it's a meaningful step toward our vision of becoming the nation's second Blue Zone city."

While InBody is best known for body composition analysis, its product line also includes blood pressure monitors, stadiometers and the new FRA system. These products serve clinicians, coaches, athletes, and wellness professionals, supporting anyone working to understand and improve their health or performance. The FRA system's applications extend well beyond senior care to rehabilitation, post-injury recovery, and any population working to restore balance and stability.

CERRITOS, Calif., July 14, 2026 -- InBody today announced a strategic partnership with HYROX, the global leader in fitness racing, becoming the Official Body Composition and Performance Measurement Partner of HYROX North America. The partnership integrates InBody's measurement technology, performance assessment programs, and education resources across the HYROX community, giving athletes, coaches, and affiliates objective data on how race results connect to body composition, strength, recovery, and overall health.

The collaboration is built around a shared belief: performance should not only be measured but also understood. HYROX has built one of the world's most standardized fitness race formats, creating a rare opportunity to study performance across a consistent baseline. By pairing race results with InBody's data on body composition, cellular health, hydration, and functional strength, the partnership shows athletes and coaches what's driving their results and where to focus next.

The collaboration combines four complementary inputs into one performance picture:

• HYROX competition for standardized real-world race performance.

• The InBody analyzer for body composition and cellular health.

• InGrip for objective functional strength assessment.

• InBody University for professional education and data interpretation.

"Anyone can measure performance. Expertise is in understanding it," said Dan Park, Vice President of Sales at InBody. "HYROX has created the most standardized stage in fitness racing, and we're proud to bring InBody's technology and education to that community so athletes and coaches can train, race, and recover knowing exactly what's working."

For HYROX coaches, affiliates, and fitness professionals, the collaboration also expands access to InBody University, InBody's on-demand professional education platform. Coaches and trainers can build deeper expertise in interpreting body composition, strength, and recovery data, then use it to design more individualized programming for their athletes.

For the wider fitness industry, the collaboration signals a shift toward more objective performance evaluation. Combining standardized competition with rigorous assessment and continuing education is how the sport moves beyond guesswork and toward training decisions athletes and coaches can trust.

Douglas Gremmen, Chief Growth Officer at HYROX said: "At HYROX, we've always believed that progress starts with measurement. InBody brings that same discipline to the data side of performance. Together, we're creating a more complete fitness journey, one that connects data, preparation and results in a way no other race format can. For coaches, that means better programming. For athletes, that means racing with confidence. We couldn't be more excited to bring this partnership to North America."

CERRITOS, Calif., March 19, 2026 -- InBody today announced the launch of InBody University (IBU), becoming the first bioelectrical impedance analyzer company in the industry to offer approved continuing education units (CEUs) to its customers. IBU is an on-demand professional development platform built for health, fitness, and wellness professionals who want to go beyond owning the device — and actually master it.

Across the industry, BIA devices are widely adopted, yet owning one and knowing how to leverage it are two very different things, and that is exactly what IBU was built to solve. InBody's relationship with its customers doesn't end at the sale. IBU delivers structured, science-backed learning that reinforces best practices and provides a deeper understanding of body composition results. The partnership with ISSA extends that commitment further, broadening access to continuing education and supporting ISSA's vision to connect 100 million people to the power of healthy living by 2030. For ISSA-certified trainers not yet using body composition analysis, IBU also serves as an entry point to understanding how InBody technology can differentiate their practice and expand their service offerings.

InBody University emphasizes how results are understood and applied, not just what the devices measure. Upon launch, IBU will offer more than 150 on-demand educational videos covering topics ranging from foundational body composition interpretation to advanced clinical applications, progressive overload programming, and client communication strategies.

With CEU-approved content recognized by leading health and wellness organizations, IBU supports ongoing professional development and career growth. InBody plans to expand the platform over time with additional courses aligned with evolving industry needs.

"At InBody, we've always believed that selling products is only the beginning. We've seen customers invest in InBody devices and still struggle to explain visceral fat to a client or justify a body composition retest. IBU directly solves that. We're committed to walking alongside our customers with education that doesn't just explain their data but turns their device into a practice-building tool," said Dan Park, VP of Sales at InBody. 

InBody's mission has always been to help people understand their health more clearly and make informed decisions based on precise body composition data. With InBody University, InBody is expanding its mission into structured education that supports professionals in applying results with confidence. 

"At ISSA, we are committed to helping trainers build long-term careers through world-class education and industry partnerships," said Kurt Mangum II, VP of Strategic Partnerships at ISSA. "Continuing education opportunities like InBody University give trainers the chance to deepen their understanding of body composition analysis while strengthening the skills that help them grow their careers. When professionals can confidently interpret data, communicate results to clients, and apply insights to programming, they not only deliver better outcomes but also build more sustainable and differentiated coaching businesses."
