4. Adjust

Make a more informed decision on what to do next.

Instead of wondering whether you should eat less, train more, add cardio, change your program, or simply stay the course, you’ll have better information to guide those decisions.

Here’s what the next 90 days could look like

You can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. The scale may only show a small change, but your body composition tells the full story.

What a DEXA scan shows you

The scale only tells you weight. DEXA splits it into what actually matters.

Body fat

Total fat mass and your body-fat percentage.

Lean mass

Your muscle tissue, so you can tell if you’re building or keeping it.

High risk visceral or android fat

Fat around the abdominal organs that weight and BMI miss.

Bone density

A baseline for bone health you can monitor over time.

Regional breakdown

How muscle and fat are distributed across arms, legs and trunk.

Left-to-right balance

Lean mass compared side to side.

Educational information, not medical advice. DEXA results are not a diagnosis. Review your results with your doctor.

Questions before you book

What is a DEXA scan?

A DEXA scan is a low-dose X-ray that measures fat, lean muscle and bone separately. It is considered a gold standard for body composition.

What is an RMR test?

A resting metabolic rate (RMR) test measures how many calories your body burns at rest, using a short breathing test while you rest.

How much does it cost?

A DEXA scan is $109, an RMR test is $109, and the DEXA + RMR Combo is $189, which saves $29 compared with booking both separately. Pricing is the same at all five locations.

How long does a DEXA or RMR appointment take?

A DEXA scan appointment is 30 minutes, an RMR test appointment is 30 minutes, and the DEXA + RMR Combo appointment is 45 minutes.

When should I retest?

Most people retest after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent training and nutrition, so there is enough time for real change.
