DEXA Scan for Body Composition

What is a DEXA scan?

The DEXA scan is widely regarded as being one of the most proven and reliable technologies for measuring body composition. A standard DEXA scan with a Fitnescity partner involves lying still for 10-15 minutes while the machine’s arm moves back and forth over your body to develop a full-body image. A DEXA can be used to obtain an initial body composition assessment and to understand how your body is changing over time.

Most people are used to stepping on a scale now and then. But monitoring weight – while helpful – is not a precise way of assessing wellness or fitness. Body composition measurement with DEXA can look beyond weight and the traditional body mass index (BMI) to determine body fat distribution.
