The Most Accurate Measure of Fat and Lean Mass

​Bodyscan uses the very latest DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) technology to quickly and accurately measure the body fat, lean tissue and bone in each major region of your body – arms, legs and trunk.

Your Bodyscan report will also read your visceral fat, the unseen toxic fat that surrounds the internal organs and is linked with diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer and stroke.

A scan takes less than four minutes and is completely safe. The X-ray dose is less than a day's normal background radiation. You'll lie on a padded bed while a moving arm makes three passes over your body. All you have to do is lie there and remain still.

Once the scan is complete, a highly detailed three-page report (five pages for follow-up Progress scans) will be generated showing your precise body composition – fat, visceral fat, lean mass and bone – in each part of your body. We'll also send you a PDF of your report straight after your scan.

Just starting out?

If you’re just beginning a diet or fitness programme, this is the perfect time for a DEXA scan, the best way to measure body fat. It’ll tell you to the gram how much fat and lean mass you're carrying on your arms, legs and trunk region.

If you think you want to lose weight, think again! What you really want to lose is fat. But if you don’t know how much body fat and muscle you have now, you’ll have no idea of what to aim for or how to get there.

Put your BMI and body fat percentage in the bin!

Standing on a set of scales tells you nothing more than your relationship with gravity. We move beyond weight, BMI and even body fat percentage, because they are all affected by your lean mass as well as your fat mass.

In contrast, a Bodyscan DEXA report gives you meaningful data based purely on the amount and distribution of fat and lean mass in your body.

Your fat mass index (FMI) and lean mass index (FMI) are two much more meaningful numbers and these will help us give you targets for fat loss and muscle gain, rather than just weight.
