Body mass index (BMI) is a simple measure of your body fat based on your height and weight. The measurement gives you a score that places you in one out of four weight categories.
Put in your values below to calculate your BMI.
What your BMI means
While BMI doesn’t represent your full health picture, it provides a general idea of your health concerning your weight.
If your BMI is 27+ you may be eligible for our Embla Mentor membership.
If your BMI is 30+ you may be eligible for our Embla Team membership.
Remember, BMI isn't a comprehensive measure. Factors like muscle mass, bone density, and overall body composition are not accounted for in BMI. For a complete health assessment, consider consulting with a healthcare professional.
