If you're considering buying a package to do multiple retests, don't buy them here. Dexa Body doesn't honor the credits after some unspecified period and tbh it feels like a scam. Like it literally barely costs them anything to honor it ... but they don't. I don't have time to haggle with them, so I started going to body spec (which is half the price), now that they serve SD. Funny enough, when I was waiting for my scan to start at body spec I ran into another *former* dexa body customer who had the same experience I did. They all use the same machine, but body spec reports are easier to read and don't look like they came from a dot matrix printer from the 80s. Go where you're treated best! read more

Great experience! The team is very knowledgeable and professional. The consultation was the best part... they explained my results in a way that was easy to understand and broke down all the data without making it overwhelming. I left with a much better understanding of my body and overall health. Highly recommend! read more

Convenient, clean and friendly staff! In and out in 20 minutes with a whole new appreciation of my body composition and bone density. So much more accurate and informative than standard charts and Dr visit. read more

Good experience with Dexa Body to get a Dexa scan for body fat, visceral fat, and bone density. The $75 cost seemed fair and it was super quick, about 15-20 min total upon walking into their van. They give you a report at the end and sort of walk you through it, but very high level so you're still expected to do your own research afterwards (I would give them a 4.5 star due to this). read more

Getting a DEXA body composition scan has been life changing for me. Day after day after day when I was watching what I ate before the scan, I was wondering if I was overweight. By the BMI (body mass index) measure, which looks at weight relative to your height, I was 8 pounds into the "overweight" category. Try as I might, I just couldn't get down to 169 pounds, which would have put me in the "normal" BMI category. People did tell me I looked fine even though I was officially in the "overweight" BMI category, but BMI is used by professional researchers all the time in population studies, so I still wondered if I needed to hold myself to what my BMI said: that I still needed to lose 8 pounds. But a DEXA body composition scan is superior to the BMI measure, and my DEXA results - looking at total body fat % and lean tissue - revealed my weight as it is, is *perfectly fine*. For me, the BMI was misleading, and not to be trusted. The DEXA scan was the truth - and it reassured me that I'm perfectly fine weight-wise. This was a revelation! I now am not worried about whether I need to lose weight, and know I'm fine if I just maintain the weight I'm at. This is such a relief and makes me super happy on a daily basis! --------------------- About my experience at Dexa Body, I would say it all ran quickly and efficiently - and the price is fair for what you get. I give only three stars, however, because they give you a print out of your results, but don't interpret them for you and there's no one to talk to about your results. I was under the impression that after you get your results you could talk to a DEXA scan expert for about 15 minutes, and they'd be able to answer your questions. No such expert exists. Dexa Body gives you a print out of your results and then they send you on your way. I feel Dexa Body ought to put something on their main website where you can go to get help interpreting what your data all means. I love ChatGPT and other chatbots, and they were able to do a comprehensive analysis of my data and I was able to get of all of my questions about my body composition results answered, but a lot of people don't know how to use chatbots like me and might not know what to make of all their data. And even with chatbots, I still would have liked to talk to a human expert. read more

This was fast, easy & very helpful! I was curious about a safe body scan to assess my bone density and visceral adipose body fat. Could not have been easier!! read more

i have had two VO2 max test in the last year and half. the First one they did a miss calculation and said I VO2 max test of over 70. I am 72 year old and my VO2 max is in high 20's. They even admitted this test was wrong. I never received a credit. 10 days ago ( stupidly) I did another VO2 max test. Have not gotten results in 10 days as promised. calling them is useles, they said they could send raw data, not adjusted for type of test taken. Simply they do not know what they are doing!!! Find a better place!!!! Very disappointed read more

It was happy with my experience. I was able to get a lot of information regarding my body composition. I'm excited to get my next one and see how I've improved. read more

I got a DEXA scan at Dexa Body as a general health check. The technician was super friendly and knowledgeable, explaining how the scan would work, and discussing the results afterwards. I scheduled an appointment before work, and I really appreciated that it happened on-time. I was in and out in 20 minutes! read more

great service and replies to my follow up question. Fast service and easy to schedule online and I like the mobile option.

It is so quick and easy to get scientific stats about your body composition. We've been going to them since 2018.

This is my second Dexa scan here. The team here is friendly, accommodating, and competent.

Outstanding! Very good deal getting the two Dexa package. Convenient location and parking. Super friendly and informative representative. No waiting for the scan and feedback and report was immediately available. Very comprehensive detailed report which provided a lot of useful information. Not the same Dexa I get at my primary care which is only bone density for lower hips and spine. This Dexa is an all-inclusive report with stats and a graphic layout of the areas of the body that were measured for muscle and fat. Just what I needed. Highly recommended! read more

I've been struggling with my weight for years. I work out a lot, but have no idea how much I should be eating and in what percentages. I also had no clue as to what my actual body fat composition looked like or how many calories my body burned and what was required to achieve optimal health, wellness and fitness. I know that a lot of people are in the same boat as I am. If you are tired of dieting, hopping from fad-to-fad and want real data and science to help you achieve your goals, I highly recommend that you check out Dexa Body. They offer a couple of services that can help get some of the facts about your body including a dexa scan which is one of the most accurate ways to measure body fat and lean muscle mass. What makes a dexa scan superior is that it will show you the exact muscle/fat ratio in every part of your body...not jus your body as a whole. The second test service they offer is RMR which will accurately measure your resting metabolic rate which means how many calories you burn just to survive. This gives you an accurate starting point to determine if your metabolism is slow or fast and how many calories you should be eating based on your level of activity or fitness or lack of. They also have registered dieticians who really know how the body works and how nutrition plays an important role. Registered dietitians, are more qualified than nutritionists to diagnose eating disorders and design diets to treat specific medical conditions. If you are ready to stop dieting and achieve your personal best, I would highly recommend checking out one of their wellness programs. Katie their amazing dietician and staff will guide you through the entire process. Highly recommended!! read more

The information I gained about my muscle mass, fat mass, and bone density from doing a dexa scan is invaluable! I've used Dexa body 3x and the ease of making & rescheduling appointments makes for a pleasant experience. read more

So happy I found this place! Excellent service, great package price, fast and easy. Referring everyone I know. Everyone should be better informed of their condition. In my case, extensive travels with overeating has led to excessive pounds. The Dexa machine showed me how bad I was and how much fat I carry. Visceral fat is what's scaring me to eat healthy and exercise. Coming back in a few months to check my progress! read more

Very knowledgeable, in and out with great service. Will tune my diet up and come back to see how I did.

When it comes to measuring your body composition in fine detail, DEXA scanning takes it to another level. No calipers, guessing your body fat on the scale, or getting wet via hydrostatic testing. This precise way to check your results has created a shocking revelation in my fitness journey and I'm glad I got it. DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is a means of measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Not just for assessing people for osteoporosis, but for body composition also. My gym partnered up with this business so the owner did testings near my gym. Signing up is easy, online and just to fill out a questionnaire prescan. They have an actual location in East Village as well. The mobile body composition bus was very warm inside, a welcoming thing especially for our cool January days. James, got me checked in and on the scanning table fast. For 5 minutes, you lay still (even pass out) while getting scanned. After that, your results are populated and you are done! You get a 9 page report via pdf to your Body Comp profile for you to check out. I am a numbers kind of person, and I was fascinated with all the calculations that the fancy machine pulled out. Well I must say that my numbers were not the ones that I was expecting, but they serve as part of my motivation to strive for more fitness results! Thanks Body Comp for my brutally honest wake up call lol! It is what it is, so let us eat clean but train dirty! Can't wait for the rescan! read more

Dexa Body - Van - Diagnostic Services Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Belated review but had this business bookmarked to ensure that I remember to assign them the 5 star Yelp Review they deserve. Hubster and I were introduced to BodyComp services through our local gym in North San Diego. The group at the gym was comparing measurements pre- and post- a change in diet and exercise regimen. BodyComp is a mobile unit that comes to your gym and performs these scans. Unfortunately, I got sick and was unable to participate. The owner, James, was the most professional, prompt, attentive, and customer focused representative. He kindly refunded the costs for my scan. He was also great about helping my husband schedule his scans. Hubster (a bit of a bio geek) thought the breakdown was really cool and loved the results BodyComp provided. I appreciated the communication and professionalism. The scans are super informative and definitely something you should order as a package (so you can track body changes and progress). Five stars for their unique service and dedication. read more

What a great find and so happy that Yelp's star rating is so accurate with this business. The process of booking, paying, and following through with my dexa scan appointment was so easy. I literally made my profile yesterday and booked my appointment for this morning at 9:45am. The gentleman who assisted me was very professional and easy to talk to- no judgement whatsoever and answered all my questions without rushing even if there was another client waiting out in the lobby (an early bird). My dexa scan results are definitely eye opening. I had just completed a 6 week weight loss challenge at True Motion SD in July and even went on vacation to Japan and Philippines for 2 weeks from late July to mid August, so I wanted to see where my body was at before I do another weight loss challenge. I opted for the $99 deal which included 2 dexa scans. I will be coming back in December to see if my lifestyle changes are benefiting me. If you're curious about your health status and enjoy numbers, graphs and of course self-improvement, I highly suggest getting your metrics checked out here! ***Location tip: their dexa scan office is located in a business/storage looking venue. I suggest driving on Pacific Height Blvd and taking the first right entrance driving into the 2nd block of offices. You will see BodyComp signage and "9883" on your left hand side. read more

I just completed my first DEXA Scan this afternoon at the downtown San Diego (G St) location! The process is extremely simple; you lay on a flat scanning table for 5 minutes and then immediately after the staff discuss your results with you. I was impressed with the depth of information you can collect from a simple scan! From visceral fat, to bone density, to muscle mass, to body fat distribution, etc. Its all very fascinating information but also extremely beneficial if you're interested in really dialing in your health and measuring progress and change. I got my first scan today to identify my baseline health level before starting a new fitness and nutrition regimen, so I can measure my results. I feel this information is extremely helpful and will really aid me in quantifying my progress. I plan to get another scan in 90 days. The location itself is fairly nice. A little difficult to find at first glance though. BodyComp is located on the second floor of a gym. Walk into the fitness/training gym and there is a hall/staircase on your left across from the reception desk. There is a very small "BodyComp" logo on the outside of this window (along with a couple other wellness logos). Once you're upstairs, the office is on the far right wall. I walked into the wrong office twice because it wasn't super clearly marked and other offices are the first thing you see. But everyone seems to know people miss the location and just point you kindly along your way. The office was not at all busy. And the room that the DEXA scan is completed in was comfortably warm and very quiet. Following the appointment, the gentleman I worked with (I think his name was Travis... not sure though) sat down and explained my results to me. He was extremely kind and friendly and made sure I understood the basics of all the metrics, plus answered any questions I had. While the price you pay for a DEXA Scan is higher than other body fat composition testing methods, it is by far the most accurate! So I highly recommend it. And the depth of info is fantastic. Next time I go I am definitely interested in getting the RMR and Vo2 testing done alongside my next 90 day DEXA Scan. I'm really glad to have found this little place! I highly recommend if you are considering! read more

Great experience at the mobile BodyComp event that came to my office building today. I got a detailed report that satiated my curiosity about a number of different health metrics, as I try to take off the last pounds of post-baby weight. read more

I did the DEXA scan. Purchased credits online (discounted when buying multiple scans) and then immediately applied one to my first scan. I was able to book a same-day appointment. I arrived extra early (in case I got lost), and they fit me in right away. I was done, with my results in hand, before my appointment time! The scanner itself was highly amusing. It's wide open, so you don't feel claustrophobic, and it really feels like a giant xerox/photo scanner. The technician was personable and explained my results to me clearly. When I got home, I was able to log into my account and see the full color pdf of the information. The print out is several pages and charts multiple measures -- it doesn't just give you percent body fat, it breaks it down by body area as well. For example, my right leg has more fat, yet weighs less, than my left leg. (Go figure, the right leg has some old injuries that I must be babying too much.) The whole thing was a very positive experience, and I'm looking forward to coming back again to compare results. read more

Highly recommended to get before starting any nutrition plan. With the help of these results The Meal Prep Co were able to set up my macro nutrients perfect to align with my fatloss goal. Very professional and informative. read more

Came in on a sunday funday because mondays are off. Great interaction with Mr Mitch (spellcheck). Will come back when I reach my finish line! read more

Arrived early & they got me in for my DEXA Scan right away! Awesome experience, super quick and informative!

Be forewarned if you purchase the $45 scan this is not a DEXA scan, it is an iDXA scan. Results are less than accurate. If you are looking for a real DEXA scan look for one that costs upwards of $150. read more

I was so disappointed that the mobile van was not able to come this morning.... however, when I got to my car, I had two emails from the President of BodyComp. Within 5 minutes, he had me scheduled to do the scan in their location in Sorrento Valley. I drove up there, was immediately helped and did the scan. WOW.... I have never seen such detail and GREAT information. I was so impressed that I decided to also do their DNA testing for two categories. This was perfect for a start to my New Year! I was impressed with the personal attention they showed me, the wealth of information I received after the scan, and the knowledge base of the person who did my scan. SCORE!!! I'll be back in 6 months to test my progress. read more

Awesome scan, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly with fast results. I highly recommend the service,

This was a quick and enjoyable experience. I feel like I came away with vital information that will help me achieve my fitness goals. The staff was personable and professional. I highly recommend getting a scan done with this company. read more

The body scan is awesome and so is the staff. I got my first scan to see what my nos. were. Based on that, I came up with a game plan. I got my 2nd scan today, and I've lost 10 lbs of fat and put on 10 lbs of muscle in 4 months! It all started with the scan. The scan breaks down all types of relevant nos. important to come up with your own plan. They offer the best price and flexibility for this scan, which is the most accurate that you can get. The information you get is more than worth it. read more

These guys are on point and are very educated in the work they do! Very grateful for the experience and service they provide.

James and Nick were great - took the time to really explain the body scan procedure and results, i was impressed by how thorough it was given the relatively short amount of time the scan took, and being able to walk away with a print-out of my results was great. I have some good info on my body comp breakdown that i'll use as incentive for maintaining and making some improvement tweaks to my fitness and nutrition goals. read more

Body-comp offers a great value. The first time I went I also signed up for the nutritional assessment with Nick. I was unsure whether I'd be able to meet my goal of dropping my fat percentage as I was already pretty low for a woman, but Nick encouraged me to just focus on hunger, eating when I need to, and eating the right kinds of food based on my activity level for the day. It was very helpful and I'm happy to say that after getting my 2nd scan 8 weeks later I lost 4.2 pounds of fat and put on 2.6 pounds of muscle. The numbers sound small but at 16% body fat now I can really see the difference. With the body scan being so accurate, I was able to ditch the scale for that 8 weeks and just focus on building muscle and eating right without worrying about what the scale is telling me. It was also very quick both times, they stay on schedule and I was in and out within 10 minutes. I highly recommend this to anyone! read more
