MyoTape Body Measure Tape - Arms Chest Thighs or Waist Measuring Tape for Personal Trainer or Home Fitness Goals

Don’t listen to any reviews that say this measuring tape is off by 2”. Anyone saying that does not know how to use it. This is a measuring tape for SELF-measuring your own body. The end of the tape that you pull out is a cylinder & there is a little round hole that is opposite of where the measuring tape comes out at. You pull out & wrap the tape around you like you would any other, then slide the cylinder end of the tape down into the little round hole that it’s made for. Then press the little button in top which makes the tape pull back in until it is around you - then it locks in place. Then slide the little cylinder back out & since the tape is still locked into place, you can read the measurement accurately. The nearly 2” that the tape starts out with accounts for the width of the actual tool between the cylinder end coming out one side & the little round hole that it slides down into (after it’s around you) on the other. This way you don’t have to try to stand straight & get & keep the tape accurately in place while you look down & try to accurately read the measurement without moving it.

I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a body measuring tape. It’s easy to use, accurate, and durable. The numbers/markings are easy to read. I was just shopping to replace mine, because the end piece came off the end of the tape, so I can’t lock it in anymore. I searched for the same one, since I knew I’d had it for several years. It shows my ‘last purchase date’ in 2010, so I’ve had it for 16 years! And I could probably just superglue that end piece back together if I needed this to last longer - the tape itself and the self-retraction still work fine! Either way, this product deserves a good review, so I wanted stop and pop in the 5 stars! 😊

Thought I was in shape until this little honesty machine showed up. MyoTape doesn’t sugarcoat anything—it’s like a brutally honest friend that wraps around your biceps and whispers, “Maybe tomorrow, champ.” That said, it works great! Easy one-handed operation, retractable tape, and the locking mechanism means you don’t have to wrestle it like a snake every time you want to measure something. I use it for tracking gains at the gym, and also occasionally for humbling myself after pizza night. Bonus: My kids now think I’m a scientist measuring my “super strength.” Who am I to ruin the illusion? Highly recommend—just don’t be surprised if it calls you out

For the price, this is a real nice tape measure and better than the digital "Health O Meter HDTM012DQ-69 Digital Tape Measure" which this one is replacing when it broke. First of all, the Mayo tape measure has1/8" divisions, as opposed to the 1/10th inch increment divisions with the digital one mentioned above. Next, this one you can measure the body part you choose in the order you want, instead of the "Health O Meter HDTM012DQ-69 Digital Tape Measure" which has preset body areas to choose from which might sound convenient; until you find yourself having to click past the body areas you are not interested in measuring to get to the areas you want. Although I just purchased this item, the only minor flaw I can find in it is that it detaches too easily, which is the only reason I can only give it 4 out of 5 stars. I'm sure it was designed this way for effortless one hand attaching of the tape measure to itself, however, having it too loose, makes for a bit of an annoyance to hold the pin in the hole while also pushing the button to retract the tape to the body. If they either made it just slightly snugger or the pin had a less slippery material like rubber, or similar material it would be probably be enough to hold it in place better. Except for this one flaw, this is a nice tape measure that is worth buying to give a better gage of one's progress than only using the scale which does not differentiate between fat and muscle weight. Thus one can lose fat but gain muscle resulting in small loss in weight, and be discouraged. Or also measure themselves and see they've lost inches in their waist despite the scale showing minimal loss in overall weight. In updating this review, there are two items that cancels each other out, as the 4 out of 5 stars stays the same, but is worth noting just the same. Although the pin could still be a touch larger so it stays in the hole better, I purchased another tape measure when the tape tore off the pin, and that tape measure is too tight a fit, where after only a few uses the tape is already tearing from the pin. So although the pin could be a bit more snug fit, having it too snug can cause problems as well. Also comparing this measuring tape to the other one, GNC brand, the Myotape is better as it has 1/16th inch divisions, where the GNC version only had 1/8th inch divisions. For one's waist or stomach the change may not require such a small incremental change, but for muscle tracking, having the 1/16th increment can be very helpful as the muscle can take a bit longer to see 1/8" change then change in your stomach from losing fat.

It does what it promises. Easy to use and way more accurate than a regular tape

Nice

Just get good sowing tape measure instead

Aunque puede parecer una tontería este tipo de cinta métrica hace medir los perímetros corporales mucho más sencillo. Ideal para controlar progresos en entrenamientos.

Arrived on time. Good tape and easy to use
