No paper reports to lose. Every client gets full access to MyBodyLab, where your body fat, visceral fat, BMR, bone density and lean mass are tracked over time. Open the app, see your numbers, compare scans, set goals.
Real, unedited reviews from real Precision Body Lab clients.
DEXA is considered the clinical gold standard for body composition, accurate to within ±1% for fat and lean mass. Bioimpedance devices (InBody, smart scales) can be off by 5 to 10% because they estimate composition from water content, which fluctuates with hydration, food and time of day.
Yes. The radiation dose from a full DEXA scan is roughly 0.1 microsieverts, around 40 to 70 times less than the natural background radiation you'd absorb on any given day, and a tiny fraction of a standard chest X-ray. Not recommended only if you are or may be pregnant.
Gym gear with no metal. Leggings or shorts and a t-shirt are perfect. Remove your watch, jewellery and anything in pockets. You stay fully clothed throughout.
For active training or nutrition changes, every 3 to 6 months is the sweet spot. Less than 3 months and changes are hard to see clearly above day-to-day noise. For general longevity tracking, every 6 to 12 months is plenty.
