Group DEXA Sessions »
DEXA is the gold standard for measuring body composition and bone density, and it's a lot more sociable than you'd think. Our group sessions bring five or six people to NuMi HQ for their own individual scans, results on the day and a talk-through from Maria on what the numbers actually mean. Coffee and overnight oats included.
What’s the vibe at a group DEXA?
More kitchen table than sterile clinic energy. Everyone gets their own scan and their own results. The only thing that's shared is the room (and no, we don't top and tail anyone on the scanner). While the group works through their turns there's coffee on, overnight oats and a chilled vibe. Then Maria talks the whole room through an example report. Nobody has to share their numbers, and there's no such thing as a daft question!« Compare Group Sizes »
Group Social »
£100 per person • 2 hours • 5-6 participants
Five or six people, one relaxed session. Everyone is scanned individually and gets their results on the day, then Maria runs through an example report with the whole group to show how to read the numbers and what to do with them. Coffee, tea and overnight oats are on, and there's plenty of time for questions.
Double Up »
£125 per person • 45 minutes • Made for 2
Built for two. Come along with a partner, friend or training buddy, get scanned in the same session and receive your results before you leave. Maria then goes through your personal results, so you both know what's worth acting on, with time for any other questions.
Reasons to have a DEXA Scan »
-
Your bathroom scales, even the smart ones, can’t really see what’s going on the inside! A DEXA body composition scan can! Giving you a full breakdown of your lean muscle, fat and bone.
-
Because the scan breaks everything down by body part, it picks up differences between your left and right side. The data can help pinpoint what is left behind from an old injury or where you’re favouring one side. It's one of the things people are keenest to see and provides a clear target to work towards.
-
Two people at the same weight can be in very different shape underneath. DEXA maps where your fat sits, right down to the visceral fat around your organs, the kind that really matters to your long term health.
-
A DEXA BMD scan measures bone mineral density the same measure the NHS uses and the clinical gold standard for spotting weakening or osteoporosis years before symptoms appear. NuMi offers Spine and Hip BMD scans as well as full body composition scans which provides an average T score across the whole body.
-
A precise starting point, measured rather than estimated, means every future scan shows exactly how your body has responded to your changes. Far more useful than watching a number move, or not, on the scales!
-
Weight loss is never only fat. A DEXA scan separates fat, muscle and bone, so you can check you're losing the right kind of weight and hold on to what's worth keeping.
Ready to book?
Group sessions are arranged directly with Maria, so we can find a date that works for everyone and make sure the numbers add up. Drop her a line with a rough headcount and a few dates in mind, and she'll take it from there. Booking for one or two? Double Up and Solo scans can be booked online. If you have any questions or concerns please get in touch. There's no such thing as a silly question!
What to Expect »

1. Before you arrive
In the days before your appointment you'll be prompted to complete a couple of simple forms online via Practice Better, our patient system.
You must be fasted for a minimum of 4 hours, with no strenuous exercise in the 24 hours prior. Fasted means no food and no caffeine, so no tea or coffee, but keep drinking water and turn up well hydrated.
On the day, please remove all piercings and wear clothes without metal, including underwired bras, trousers with zips or studs.

2. Having the Scan
When you arrive, we’ll run through your form and make sure we’ve got all the information we need.
You’ll then be asked to get on to the scanning bed (Holly) where your measurer will position you for the scan.
Once you’re in place, the test takes 7 minutes and all you need to do is lay completely still. Bliss!

3. Your Results
Everyone leaves with preliminary results on the day. Once the whole group has been scanned, Maria talks you through an example report, showing how to turn your own numbers into action, with plenty of time for questions.
Results are then checked and uploaded to each person's dashboard for review.
