Douglas Bannatyne is going to go mental when he hears about this.

The body shape thing seems like a bit of a gimmic really. They scan your shape, but then don't actually refer to it in any way (according to the movie anyway). They simply ask you whether you want to tone your arse or your abs, but they can do that with or without and accurate picture of either.

One thing they don't detail is what "slim" means. Targetted fat loss is a widely acknowledged myth. Doing bench presses will reduce the fat on your bum as much as swats will (toning is something else, and that can have a visually smilling effect, but they refer to toning separately).

If it helps people exercise then all is well, but their "unique approach" is just marketing fluff.
