Philadelphia's fitness culture runs deep — from runners climbing the Art Museum steps to cyclists along Kelly Drive, rowers on Boathouse Row, and boxers in South Philly. Our partner clinics serving the Philadelphia area use FDA-approved, medical-grade DEXA technology with 98%+ accuracy for measuring body fat, lean muscle, and bone density. Whether you're training for the Broad Street Run, competing in a Fishtown CrossFit competition, or simply optimizing your health in the City of Brotherly Love, DEXA gives you the clinical edge.

No referral needed. Unlike imaging centers affiliated with Penn Medicine or Jefferson Health, you can book your DEXA scan directly with us for wellness and body composition purposes.

Absolutely. Our Philadelphia DEXA scans use extremely low-dose X-rays — less than a standard dental X-ray. The scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. It's safe for most adults and is endorsed by sports medicine physicians throughout the Philadelphia metro area and at institutions like Penn Medicine and Drexel.

Your DEXA scan appointment at our partner clinic serving the Philadelphia area takes about 30 minutes total, including check-in and results consultation.

Many insurance plans cover DEXA scans when medically necessary for bone density testing. Our partner clinics serving the Philadelphia area accept HSA and FSA payments for all DEXA scan services. We also offer affordable self-pay options starting at $149. Independence Blue Cross, Aetna, and Cigna plans often include bone density screening benefits for eligible Philadelphia-area patients.

A full body DEXA scan at our partner clinic serving the Philadelphia area measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass distribution, visceral fat levels, and bone mineral density. For Broad Street Run participants, Kelly Drive cyclists, Boathouse Row rowers, and health-focused professionals throughout the Delaware Valley, this data provides clinical precision to guide training and long-term health.

Many Philadelphia Equinox and local gym locations offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the gold standard. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct tissue measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance which can vary by +/-5-8% based on hydration — a significant issue for Philly athletes training in summer humidity. DEXA results are consistent, clinical-grade, and used in research at Penn and Drexel University.

For an additional fee, we offer expedited same-day results including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density T-scores, and personalized recommendations — ideal for Philadelphia athletes and health-focused professionals tracking progress.
