I’ve used various body scans & do performance tests over the years as a way to check in on my health & fitness. But I get particularly excited if it measures my body fat %. What @dexafitasia can do is a bit more & comes in handy for women in particular. The Dexa Scan experience is akin to an MRI although less scary. As you lay down during the 5min scan, it can also measure your bone density aside from the usual muscles & body fat readings. Having that information helps us gauge our risk for osteoporosis. Happy to report that my bones are still pretty strong & that my muscle imbalance isn’t as bad as I thought!

I’ve been waiting for Dexa technology to come to Singapore and it finally happened! I went in to get a Dexa scan to know my body composition once and for all and was happy with how it went. The staff are friendly and very easy to talk to even though fitness can be a sensitive topic. There was no sense of pressure to do more than I initially asked for, and I got the sense that everyone just wanted to help me feel comfortable. The facility is clean, and there’s a nice airy feel to it.
Overall I’d definitely recommend giving their services a try if you’re interested in learning more about your body, metabolism and overall fitness. I love that now I have the data to drive my fitness goals. Thanks to everyone who guided me through my appointment!

It was a great learning experience at DexaFit! In one session of different tests which gave results to body fat analysis, bone density, resting metabolism rate, full body scan, vo2 max, detailed information of my health was produced on the spot, on top of lifestyle advice to help me improve my fitness! This has definitely made me more aware of my own body condition which at the moment is not at its best to say the least. Yet the team at DexaFit were professional and non judgemental. I encourage anyone who wants to know about their fitness with proper data to give them a try! Kudos Jimmy and all the staff!

Finally, I was able to get a DEXA scan directly and promptly, at DexaFit’s first diagnostic center in Singapore at DexaFit Asia located at Royal Square (Novena)! 😀
I went for my series of tests to get thorough insights into my fitness level. The DEXA scan gives complete data on my lean and fat distribution, as well as my bone mineral density. 👍🏼 It’s very comfortable too since I just had to lay there and not do anything 😄
If Dexa wasn’t relaxing enough... next came a test which I almost fell asleep whilst doing it😆... The Resting Metabolic Rate test measured my exact number of calories burned, yes, at rest. 👊🏼 Awesome!
My next station was the 3D scan, which captured key body measurements such as the circumference, lengths and widths. From here, I could identify clearly where the muscle imbalances are and a good view of my overall postural structure.
Ok here comes the crunch. The VO2max test demanded the most effort: me running on the treadmill 😅. But the test provided me the precise value of exercise intensity level for my body which I am able to use to optimize my performance. I know now the exact time frame my body starts to burn fat and improve my cardiovascular health.

I would definitely recommend DexaFit Asia to anyone seriously interested in finding out your baseline health and fitness. You will get detailed body fat composition analysis with the state of the art DEXA scan. This is a state of the art machine , unique and only available at this centre and probably only one in entire Asia!
I was equally fascinated with the VO2max test , RMR test and 3D scan too. The entire process for all the 4 tests was seamlessly conducted within 2hr and every minute is well worth it with professional expertise from the proficient staff such as James and Jimmy. Keep up the good work!

Last week I was at @dexafitasia to visit the latest team in the fitness scene! @jimmytiu and his team was friendly & took time to show me around the new clinic. I even got to experience the tests!
These 3 were the most interesting & provided useful insights for me.
1. DEXA Scan
DEXA is FDA-approved and quantifies your body composition and skeletal health, including your visceral fat, which correlates to common heart and metabolic diseases. It is more precise than inBody, BMI, caliper & etc.
The scan was a comfortable 7min process. A little printout with my skeleton was given to me at the end of it. I could see exactly how I looked like inside, kinda freaky but also intriguing! My bones were only 2.3kg as compared to 3.5kg when i was 17! Osteoporosis? But 2.3kg was normal. So pheeeww!
It also showed me where all the fats were including the ones that weren't visible to the eyes. I saw some on my trunk and it freaked me out. As a trainer, we know superficial fats are basically a result of a well controlled diet. But visceral is a different thing. It made me spent a whole weekend researching for more info. I'm determined to reverse that test! 🔥
2.RMR test
Resting Metabolic Rate test. If you saw my stories on Mon, I was wearing a really tight mask that not only squished my chubby face but also made me look like I was on life support 😅
RMR tests how efficient a person's metabolism is at converting food to fuel. My consultant later explained what the numbers meant and what to do about it etc. I.e.: slow metabolism vs fat loss plateaus.
3. VO2max test
VO2max refers to the max amount of oxygen you can utilize during exercise. It is used to test aerobic endurance before and at the end of a training cycle.
Optimizing your VO2max improves your body’s power grid. It strengthens your heart, improves blood flow, metabolism, and makes your muscles more efficient. A lower VO2max means lower energy levels and higher disease risks.
This test took my breath away, literally. It was a 10min run. From warm up to whatever incline u can endure.
All in all, my trip was extremely insightful.

Last week I did a fitness and wellness test with DexaFit Asia Singapore @dexafitasia and I got to know my body better!
I did a DEXA scan. Dual-energy absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is trusted as the global gold standard for body composition analysis by medicine and science. Dexa Scan allows you to map and pinpoint precisely where in your body you’re storing lean mass, fat mass and visceral fat, while also providing bone density results.
I also did the VO2MAX, RMR, and 3D scan test. Guess which one is the most challenging test for me?
Yes... RMR! You know it! Nothing to do but breathe and relax for 20 minutes! How hard could it be? Very! 🤦♀️
Overall, I was very impressed by the service provided, and the best part was diving into the data with James @sportsnutritionistjames , DexaFit Head of Education and Sports Nutritionist. James was very good at translating what the numbers meant for me, and how I can navigate the results to increase my capacity to perform and recover. Thank you, James!
If you are unclear about your start point, then the journey to your goal is doomed. #DexaFit

VO2 max test: I’m at one of the lowest times of my fitness right now, You’ve seen my year of injuries!
This was actually the best time for me to take 3D body tests and see how my bone health (esp. as a female ) was fairing, where my muscle and fat deposits (like visceral) were holding up and my cardio fitness.
I was a bit nervous wanting to know the truth at @dexafitasia BUT I’m glad I did it because the results gave me something to work towards.
My Vo2 is at 47, 2 spots under athlete status , my bones seem pretty strong though I’m at my peak now , doesn’t mean I can’t fracture them .
#its super detailed , but it would bore you guys .
Women , I think it’s such an important test especially since we are more likely to get osteoporosis etc
