Understand Your Body Beyond the Number on the Scale
A Body Composition Analysis uses dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) technology. This fast, non-invasive scan delivers the most precise and comprehensive assessment of body composition currently available.
A Body Composition Analysis is considered the gold standard for measuring:
- Body fat percentage
- Muscle mass
- Visceral fat (fat surrounding internal organs)
Affordable, High-Value Insight
This highly accurate evaluation of your body composition is available for $99, making advanced health data accessible and affordable.
Why Choose a Body Composition Analysis?
- Assess and Monitor Fitness Progress – Ideal for athletes and active individuals who want to measure changes in muscle development, strength, and balance over time.
- Customize Health and Wellness Goals – Use detailed data to fine-tune nutrition and exercise strategies.
- Support Bone Health – Monitor bone density and skeletal muscle to help address age-related changes.
- Identify Hidden Health Risks – Gain clearer insight into potential risks for conditions such as heart disease and diabetes by evaluating visceral fat levels.
- Move Beyond BMI – Track real changes in fat and muscle, providing a more complete picture than body weight alone.
Quick, Comfortable, and Precise
- Brief appointment – The scan typically takes about five minutes.
- Safe and non-invasive – Radiation exposure is minimal.
- Immediate results – You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report with color-coded images right after your scan.
Your Results Include Detailed Information On:
- Lean mass versus fat mass
- Regional body composition (arms, legs, trunk, hips, and abdomen)
- Bone density measurements
- Estimated metabolic rate
Who Can Benefit From a Body Composition Analysis?
- Athletes and fitness-focused individuals
- Weight management and nutrition clients
- Anyone interested in improving overall health or gaining deeper insight into their body

Why Body Composition Matters
A Body Composition Analysis tells a far more meaningful story than the scale alone. While weight may fluctuate, a scale cannot distinguish between fat, muscle, and bone. This analysis goes beyond weight and traditional BMI to accurately show how fat is distributed throughout your body—providing clarity that numbers on a scale simply can’t offer.
