DEXA SCAN + 3D ANALYSIS:
THE DEFINITIVE BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT

We’ve redefined “gold standard” body composition measurement by combining three advanced technologies (DEXA scan, 3D Body Scan, and ultrasonic height measurement) to give unparalleled insights into lean mass, bone density, visceral fat, body shape, and other key metrics of health, fitness, and longevity.

Why Measuring Body Composition & Bone Density is So Important

No matter your age, fitness level, weight, or gender, it’s important to measure your body composition and bone health. In fact, almost any health, wellness, or longevity-related goal is impacted by your ratio of fat mass to muscle mass, your level of visceral fat, and your bone mineral density. This has become even more important as GLP-1 agonist medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro proliferate and facilitate rapid weight loss.

The Body Comp Lab at NYCPL is, to our knowledge, the most advanced facility of its kind in NYC. In one short visit, we can give you a complete understanding of all the key metrics noted above along with guidance on how to make rapid and profound improvements in how you look and feel. There’s a reason why our body composition analysis is trusted by billionaires, professional athletes, and academy award winners as well as thousands of everyday New Yorkers.

Understanding how to optimize your body composition is key to improving your health and confidence while reducing your risk of chronic disease

Why Is DEXA the Best Way to Measure Body COmposition?

DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), also written as DXA, is the universally recognized benchmark for measuring both body composition and bone density due to its unmatched accuracy, reliability, and precision. This is the same technology used by top medical centers, university research labs, and professional sports teams.
Every other body composition measurement technology, including skinfold calipers, body fat scales, and even professional devices like InBody or eVolt that utilize bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) merely provide estimates and cannot accurate differentiate between lean mass, fat mass, and bone.
DEXA directly measures tissue composition and bone mineral density. Not only is this far more accurate, results are also not skewed by hydration level, meals, time of day, etc.
DEXA is the only widely used test that can accurately diagnose osteoporosis and osteopenia and measure bone mineral density (BMD) over time.
For those concerned with bone health, specialized scans can be conducted that provide detailed analysis of key fracture-prone areas such as the spine and hip.

3D Body Composition ANalysis: DEXA’s Perfect Partner

While a DEXA scan provides the most accurate and comprehensive measurement of your body’s composition and bone health, our 3D Body Scan gives you unparalleled insights into your body’s shape, including factors like posture, hip-to-waist and hip-to-bust ratios, imbalances between your right and left sides, and an assessment of health risk factors related to where your body is carrying muscle vs fat.
Together, the DEXA and 3D Body Scan provide the most complete picture of your body composition available today.
As an added benefit, the 3D Body scanner uses a non-invasive infrared scanner which is safe for pregnant women, whereas DEXA is contraindicated. This is a valuable option for those seeking to track how their pregnancy impacts their body composition.

VISUALIZE CHANGES MASKED BY SCALES

Your scale is not telling you the full story. You could be gaining muscle and losing fat (effectively “recomping” your body) and your scale will show you the same weight, even while profound change is happening.
With our Body Composition Assessments, you gain a profound understanding of what’s going on inside your body, as well as changes in its shape, none of which can be accurately captured by a scale.
If you feel like your hard work isn’t paying off because your weight isn’t changing as significantly as you’d like, that may or may not actually be the case. We’ll help you find out (and guide you on how to accelerate progress).

Why ANALYZE your Body comPOSITION at NYCPL?

3 TeCHNOLOGIES in 1 Assessment

We have developed our own protocol for combining data from the latest model Hologic DXA system, Styku 3D Body Composition Analyzer, and ultrasonic stadiometer to give you detailed measurements of your height, weight, bodyfat percentage, posture, lean mass, bone mass, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and other key anthropomorphic metrics in just a few minutes.

World-Class Interdisciplinary Expertise

The NYC Performance Lab team consists of doctors, physical therapists, exercise physiologists, radiology technicians, elite nutritionists, and master trainers. Most important, we all practice what we preach with nearly everyone on the team a current or former high-level athlete or competitor in their respective fields.

Brand New Top-Of-The-Line Equipment

All of our equipment are brand new latest model units from the best vendors in each category. We’ve spaced no expense to ensure our clients never have to worry about the quality or accuracy of the results they receive with us. There is no other facility in NYC that offers the same breadth of body composition measurement equipment, let alone in a friendly and private boutique environment.

Convenient & Safe

The amount of radiation from a DEXA Scan is extremely low, less than a round trip cross country flight. The only common contraindication is pregnancy. Fortunately, our 3D Body Composition analyzer works without any radiation at all and is totally safe for pregnant women and even people with pacemakers for whom even common home scales are contraindicated due to their use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).

Reporting That’s Easy to Understand

After your Assessment is completed and you have reviewed and discussed your results with our team, a detailed follow-up report will be emailed to you with the raw data from your tests, benchmarks to know where you stand, and additional guidance on training and lifestyle adjustments.

Your results from each scan are saved securely, making it easy to chart your progress over time. See how your body composition and shape evolves with your diet and training, down to the smallest details.

“Highly recommend these guys. Was able to test my vo2 max , RMR and a dexa scan. It was very personal. Jeff was great through the entire process. Great sense of humor and was extremely knowledgeable and thorough going through my results. Studio was super clean as well as all the equipment that was used.”
