Between marathon training and lifting four to five times a week, I wanted real numbers, not guesses. Six minutes in the scanner and I had my baseline: 10.6% body fat.

DEXA Body Scan
What it is

A true picture of your body

The detail, made simple

Why body composition beats the scale

Two people at the same weight can have completely different bodies. The scale cannot tell fat from muscle, and it cannot see visceral fat, which is the fat most linked to long-term metabolic risk.

DEXA separates all of it, so your plan is built on what is really happening inside your body, and every retest shows real change.

Before you come in

How to prepare for your DEXA scan

Five minutes of preparation is the difference between a reading you can trust and one you cannot.

No exercise beforehand

Skip training on the day, before your appointment. A workout shifts fluid into muscle and moves your numbers.

Arrive normally hydrated

Not dehydrated, not loaded up on water. Both distort body-composition readings.

Fast for two hours

No food for the two hours before your visit. Water is fine.

Leave the metal at home

No underwire, zips, buckles or heavy jewellery. Comfortable, plain clothing is ideal.
