Booking questions
Before you pick a slot.
Pick Specials, Single services, Bundles, or Blood panels above, choose a date and time, and check out. Your confirmation email carries the prep notes. You can also call +359 88 358 1717 and the team will set it up with you.
We are open seven days a week: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00, Saturday 10:00 to 17:00, and Sunday 12:00 to 17:00. Testing is by appointment, so book a time above.
The DEXA Body Composition Scan takes about 8 minutes. The VO₂ Max test takes about 20 minutes, and the RMR test is 15 minutes of quiet breathing. Most clients doing all three are in and out in under 60 minutes, including check-in and review.
Two: the Ultimate panel (€300, 47 markers) for a whole-body baseline, and the Fitness+ panel (€138.05, 24 markers) for strength, metabolism, endurance and recovery. Book either in the Blood panels pill above, or compare them on the blood lab tests page.
Start with the DEXA Body Composition Scan. It shows whether the weight you are losing is fat, muscle, or both, which the scale cannot tell you. Roughly 1 in 3 pounds lost on GLP-1 therapy is lean mass, and the DEXA shows whether that applies to you. Adding RMR gives you the full metabolic picture.
VO₂ Max measures your cardio capacity, how well your body uses oxygen during hard effort. It is one of the strongest predictors of long-term survival in clinical research (Mandsager et al., JAMA 2018). RMR measures the calories your body burns at rest. They test different systems and pair well in the same visit.
Yes. A DEXA scan uses a very low dose of X-ray, far less than a chest X-ray and roughly equal to a few hours of everyday background radiation. Hospitals and research institutions have used the technology for decades.
Yes, and we encourage it. DexaFit reports use the same technology and terms physicians already know, so many clients share them with their GP, endocrinologist, sports medicine physician, or dietitian.
Most clients retest every 3 to 6 months. One test sets your baseline; repeat tests show how your body answers changes in training, nutrition, or a protocol.
