Detailed digital report with body fat percentage, breakdown of fat mass vs fat-free mass, body fat distribution (incl. visceral fat), bone density, comparison with healthy ranges and population data (percentile, Z-score).
The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test measures how many calories your body needs at rest, a great addition to the DEXA scan for those focused on optimizing weight or gaining muscle mass.
Package: DEXA + RMR
The VO2 Max test provides insights into cardiovascular health and also establishes optimal heart rate zones, an ideal addition to the DEXA scan for those who are concentrated on their fitness levels.
Package: DEXA + RMR + VO2 Max
The package is designed to help you set your baseline, understand your caloric needs, and measure change over time. Whether you retest every 3, 4, or 6 months, keep yourself accountable to your wellness goals.
Package: 2 x DEXA + 1 x RMR

Looking beyond the bathroom scale.
Accurate measurement of body composition provides valuable information for assessing, monitoring the human body.
Most people are used to stepping on a scale from now and then. But monitoring weight – while helpful – is not a precise way of assessing health and fitness progress.
Body composition measurement with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can look beyond weight and the traditional body mass index (BMI) to determine body fat distribution.
The DEXA / DXA body composition measurement technology provides far more complete and precise information than any other weight and and body fat assessments tool.
Body composition measurement with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA / DXA) helps individuals, trainers and physicians monitor the effects of diet and exercise in a precise manner.
Precise, accurate and segmental (regional) body fat data can have many benefits such as:
Supporting decisions on training regimens and nutrition plans.
Understanding and monitoring health risks related to body fat distribution and bone density.
Moreover, the measurements are fast and non invasive.
Regional body fat results
Body composition scans with DEXA / DXA provides precise and accurate data on total body fat percentage, total fat mass and fat-free mass. Most importantly, what is unique about DEXA body composition technology is that it provides regional body fat results (trunk, arms, legs, pelvis and android/gynoid regions).
For instance, DEXA scans can give a precise measurement of visceral fat / abdominal fat.
Abdominal, or visceral, fat is of particular concern because it's a key player in a variety of health problems — much more so than subcutaneous fat, the kind you can grasp with your hand. Visceral fat, on the other hand, lies out of reach, deep within the abdominal cavity, where it pads the spaces between our abdominal organs.
Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic disturbances and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In women, it is also associated with breast cancer and the need for gallbladder surgery.
DEXA results often include bone density as well (bone mineral density - BMD).
Please note that DEXA scans do subject you to small amounts of radiation. A whole body scan produces a level of radiation equivalent to flying by airplane from New York to California.
