About Us
Bodyscan was the first – and remains the only – company in the UK dedicated solely to measuring body composition with DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry). It is Bodyscan’s mission to deliver professional excellence in the health and fitness industry and to always exceed the expectations of our customers. After more than 22,000 appointments, we continue to treat every customer as an individual, with warmth, respect, dignity and professionalism and our ethos is reflected in the growing number of exemplary reviews and word-of-mouth referrals. We invite you to experience Bodyscan for yourself.
Philip Chant
Director & Founder
Philip discovered DEXA as a customer when he lived in Sydney and realised his pale, British, skinny-fat body did not look good on Bondi Beach, even at night. DEXA scans provided the motivation to lose his pot belly and the hard data to ditch his expensive but ineffective personal trainer.
Inspired by the technology he returned to the UK to set up Bodyscan at the start of 2014, began operations in Marylebone a year later and established Bodyscan City near the Bank of England in November 2016. Philip still prefers meeting clients to filling in spreadsheets.
Kevin Garde
Consultant
If you need help with your nutrition (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) then Kevin is your man – whether your goals are fat loss, body composition or performance.
With a BSc (Hons) in Biological and Chemical Sciences from University College Cork and a Masters in Sport and Exercise Nutrition from Loughborough University, Kevin has helped many fat loss and body composition clients, both as a health and performance nutritionist and as an online fitness consultant. At Bodyscan he translates researched, proven science knowledge into pragmatic, practical advice.
To consolidate his many work practices, Kevin founded his own nutrition consultancy, PRISM Nutrition, in 2016. He is passionate about helping people feel more body confident and achieve their goals through education, ensuring that nutritional recommendations are both enjoyable and sustainable for our everyday lives.
Rob Webster
Consultant
The consultant for more than 7000 scans, of clients aged 18 to 81, Rob’s deep experience and perspective will give you a highly valuable interpretation of your DEXA scan.
After five years at Bodyscan, Rob knows how to fine-tune a person’s body composition with a high degree of precision and accuracy. He cuts through the noise and conveys the key levers to manipulate fat and muscle with an appropriate energy balance and optimal training specificity.
The diversity in clients’ ages and abilities has enabled Rob to develop an adaptable approach to provide appropriate and realistic goals. Whether you aspire to longevity (through lower visceral fat, increased muscle mass and improved bone density) or better sports performance (by optimising power to weight ratios), Rob will deliver the knowledge and tools to best achieve your desired outcomes.
Arthur Lidgey
Consultant
Arthur joined Bodyscan from one of the big health insurance companies, where he conducted and delivered in-depth personal health assessments, with a focus on prevention over cure.
Qualified in nutrition and passionate about fitness, Arthur loves a one-to-one environment with individuals keen to make a change, so Bodyscan is his ideal workplace.
He will immediately put you at your ease, interpret your results in a meaningful way and suggest realistic, achievable targets.
