Why get a DEXA scan near Miami Beach instead of a gym scale?
DEXA gives you limb-by-limb lean mass, regional body fat, and visceral fat with 1–2% precision. If you're cutting for a competition or a shoot, that's the data that keeps you from burning muscle along with the fat.
At Strong Health Miami, you get the same scan technology used in clinical research, performed at our Brickell clinic, with results you can use to track real progress on TRT, GLP-1 weight loss, peptide therapy, or your own training.
Every scan includes total and regional body fat, pound-precise lean mass by limb, visceral fat, bone density (T-score and Z-score), and left-right symmetry analysis. See the full report breakdown on the DEXA Scan Miami page, or the science behind it in our complete DEXA guide.

Training for my first bikini competition out of a South Beach gym, I was cutting blind. Two DEXA scans eight weeks apart showed I'd dropped 9 lbs of fat and kept every ounce of muscle. Fifteen minutes over the causeway, worth every one.
