In our Google reviews customers consistently say the BodyScan experience exceeds their expectations.
Enjoyable scan and good explanations from the staff. Can recommend.
Maria de Sousa Pinto
Excellent experience. Machines are good. The report was very thorough and detailed. The staff is super professional and acknowledged. They spend time to go through the report with you and they are very patient. The report is useful with loads of info. I got the price with an offer and it was competitive.
Andrea Franzel
Rob was really informative, knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the relevance and vital importance of the scan metrics in monitoring ongoing health - thanks Rob for the advice and debunking of various health related myths!
Mike
Excellent all round. So glad I did it! Will be back to check in again in around 6 months. Very clear plan ahead. Rob was also very good at explaining everything. Highly recommend.

Kevin McCoy
Ashley was damn amazing! I was HIGHLY skeptical coming into the Dexa scan. And Ashley blew away my expectations with his initiative insights and helpful advice. I highly recommend requesting him for your future scans.

Real Transformations From Real People
These are just a few lives that BodyScan has helped change.
In exactly one year, BodyScan customer Idelkys, 40, halved her body fat from 32.7kg to just 16.5kg and reduced her visceral fat by 64%.
"The BodyScan consultation was a really positive experience. It was great to have a visual on my body composition, which gave me the motivation to make a change."
"BodyScan gave great advice regarding calorie intake and a realistic timeline, which helped massively with my biggest challenges of eating healthily and taking things at a steady pace."
Just five months after his first visit to BodyScan, Jinal, 38, had lost over 25kg of body fat and more than halved his visceral fat.
"I knew I was not in a good place but didn't know what that actually meant or how I compared to other men my age."
"BodyScan gave me the kick-start I needed - an accurate, non-judgemental assessment, information and advice to start turning things around, and hard data to keep me on track."
Six months after his first body scan, Nathan, 33, had achieved true body recomposition - fat loss of 3kg and muscle gain of 1.5kg. He went on to gain 10kg of muscle mass.
"Paired with eating more cleanly and adhering to a regular exercise regime, the scans allowed me to check that my weight-loss was mostly fat and helped me set the right calorie intake to maintain enough energy to fuel my training."

Book NowWho Is BodyScan For?
BodyScan is perfect for you if you want to know...
Fat Mass
The Baseline DEXA scan consultation tells you how much fat you have now, how much you need to lose, the calories you should consume every day and how long it will take to get there.
Bone Density
This painless, non-invasive test focuses on the hip and spine, the areas most vulnerable to osteoporosis-related fractures.
Muscle Mass
Building muscle is a very slow process and you probably have less than you think. DEXA will precisely measure your lean body mass and we will advise what you need to do to gain muscle.
Your results in plain English
Our unique reports provide you with a detailed highly accurate analysis of your fat mass, visceral fat, lean muscle, and bone density all explained in an easy to understand way. Providing you a clear path towards your fitness and health goals.

Our unique reports provide you with a detailed highly accurate analysis of your fat mass, visceral fat, lean muscle, and bone density all explained in an easy to understand way. Providing you a clear path towards your fitness and health goals.
40 Minute Appointment
A DEXA scan looks beyond weight and BMI (even beyond body fat percentage) to show your exact lean mass and fat mass using its low-dose X-ray technology.
Face-to-face Consultation
The face-to-face consultation will clearly explain the results of your scan and personalise the information to help you achieve your own goals more quickly.
Visceral Fat Data
Often forgotten about, visceral fat is the dangerous fat that surrounds your organs and can't be seen by the naked eye. High levels of visceral fat are associated with increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, even dementia.
Specific Targets For Fat And Muscle
Rather than just talk about weight, we'll focus on a better body composition and give you specific kilogram targets for fat loss and/or muscle gain.
Calorie And Timeline Targets
We'll tell you how many calories you should be eating and how many weeks it will take to reach your goals.
Fat And Muscle Ranking
To put your results into context, we'll compare you to 35,000 male and female scans, the UK's largest DEXA body composition database.

Frequently asked questions
A DEXA scan is the most accurate method of measuring your body composition. It will provide a reading of your precise fat mass, lean mass and percentage body fat for each area of your body.
It will estimate the amount of visceral fat, which is the fat around your organs associated with heart disease, type-2 diabetes, stroke, some types of cancer and dementia. It will also provide a very good indication of your bone density (DEXA was invented to detect osteoporosis).
There is no need to fast before a DEXA scan. You can eat and drink as usual.
Please remove as much jewellery as you can before you arrive at the clinic.
After you've checked in, empty your bladder before being called. It's best if you're in the same state for every scan for the most reliable comparison.
A DEXA scan is for EVERYONE looking to get in better shape, achieve weight loss, better performance or muscle gain. A lot of people think our customers are athletes, but that's far from the truth! In fact, most of our customers are overweight and are looking to lose fat.
60% of our clients are men, 40% are women and they range from 18-80 years old. Whatever your circumstances and reasons for wanting to know or track your body composition (fat loss or muscle gain), rest assured you'll feel completely comfortable and our consultants are completely supportive and non-judgemental.
The minimum age we can scan is 18 years old. Please bring photo ID if you look younger!
Our DEXA scanner has a maximum weight limit of 204kg (450 pounds or 32 stone). If you're heavier and larger than this, your body may not fit within the width of the scanning table. This is no problem. The DEXA software accounts for this and enables us to mirror the data from your right side to your left side.
If you're very tall (more than 195cm, 6'4"), we will position you with your head outside the scanning area and your feet inside (imagine being in a bed with a footboard but no headboard). When it comes to body composition, we're not really interested in your head anyway!
A DEXA scan uses a tiny dose of ionising radiation (X-rays) to measure your body composition. To put the dose and risk into perspective, it's equivalent to eating 50 grams of Brazil nuts, and less than one day's normal background radiation that we receive every day from outer space and the Earth's natural radiation.
You're effectively having a DEXA scan every day without knowing it! The dose is so low that the Care Quality Commission describes the risk from radiation of a DEXA scan as "negligible".
You should wear loose-fitting clothing without any metal as it will show up on the scan.
Of course! We have a Baseline scan for two people which saves money compared to two single scans. Claim the 20% voucher and there'll be a button on the following page to add an additional person.
If you'd like to bring a friend simply for support or as a chaperone, that's fine too. Your friend can be with you during the introduction and consultation parts of the appointment (before and after the scan) but only a chaperone may be in the room during the 4-minute scan.
