Find out what your body is really made of. Revolutionary Fitness in Old Town Alexandria is hosting a DEXA Scan Day on Thursday, September 24, from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. For $97, you'll get a full-body DEXA scan, the same technology used in hospitals and research labs, plus a detailed report that shows exactly where you stand on body fat, lean muscle, and bone density.
What is a DEXA scan?
DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is widely considered the gold standard for measuring body composition. You lie still on a padded table for about 10 minutes while a scanner arm passes slowly over you. There are no needles and no enclosed tube, and the radiation dose is a small fraction of a standard chest X-ray.
The scale tells you how much you weigh. A DEXA scan tells you what that weight is made of, and those are very different questions.
What you'll learn
Your report will break down:
Body fat percentage, plus where that fat is stored across your arms, legs, and trunk
Visceral fat, the deeper fat around your organs that is closely linked to metabolic and heart health
Lean muscle mass, measured region by region, so you can spot imbalances between your left and right sides or your upper and lower body
Bone density, an important marker as we age, especially for women after menopause and for anyone concerned about fracture risk
After your scan, a Revolutionary Fitness coach will go over your results with you and explain what the numbers mean in plain English.
Who it's for
DEXA Scan Day is open to anyone in the community who wants a clear, objective baseline for their health. It's especially useful if you:
Are 50 or older and want to protect your muscle and bone as you age
Have been working out or dieting and aren't sure whether you're losing fat or losing muscle
Want a real starting point before a new training or nutrition program
Are training for a race or athletic goal and want to fine-tune your body composition
Just want to know where you stand
You don't need to be a Revolutionary Fitness member to book.
How to prepare
To get the most accurate results:
Wear comfortable clothing with no metal (no zippers, underwire, buttons, or snaps)
Take off jewelry before your scan
Stay normally hydrated, and skip a large meal right before your appointment
Avoid a hard workout the morning of your scan
If you take calcium supplements, skip them for 24 hours beforehand
If you're pregnant or might be, please don't book
