About 5 years ago, a local fitness enthusiast and tech innovator, saw a gap in personalized health tracking in the Seattle area. Shawn Fay wanted an accurate measure of his body fat and lean muscle mass. But the only place to get a full body health scan or DEXA scan in the Seattle area was at the hospital.
He found it expensive, frustrating, and difficult to get access to accurate and reliable health diagnostics in the Pacific Northwest. So Shawn decided to make advanced health diagnostics accessible to the active and health-conscious communities of the Seattle area.
He launched Nomad Fit Lab, a mobile DEXA scan service that brings full body health scans directly to you. In less than 15 minutes, Nomad Fit Lab can measure body fat, analyze muscle mass, and check your bone density.
DEXA scans are considered the “gold standard” and are recognized as the most accurate, reliable, and authoritative measure for measuring body fat, lean muscle mass, and bone mineral density. Employing the latest technology, Nomad Fit Lab ensures every scan and assessment is precise and informative.
“We strive to make health assessments available to all, removing barriers of cost and location,” said Fay. “We equip our clients with knowledge about their body, fostering informed decisions towards a healthier life.”
Nomad Fit Lab continues to introduce additional mobile labs in the Seattle area and now serves the entire Pacific Northwest region and Arizona. From Bellingham to Seattle and all areas in between, you can now have a full-body health scan ideal for body fat measurements, body composition testing, or assessing your risk for osteoporosis.
Finding a location and scheduling an appointment in the Seattle area has never been easier. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in health and fitness technology, while building a supportive community that motivates and inspires personal and collective growth.
