The Problem

The scan existed. The access didn’t.

About five years ago, Shawn Fay — a fitness enthusiast and tech innovator — 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.

The gold-standard technology already existed — DEXA has been the clinical benchmark for body composition and bone density measurement for decades. What didn't exist was a way to access it without a hospital visit and a bill that didn't match the simplicity of what the scan actually involved.

Fifteen minutes lying on a padded table. A complete breakdown of your body fat, lean muscle, visceral fat, and bone density. Results that give you something real to work with. The technology was there. The access wasn’t.

So Shawn decided to fix that.

What We Built

A clinical-grade GE Lunar DEXA scanner. In a mobile lab. At your gym.

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.

Nomad Fit Lab was founded in 2024. The concept was straightforward: put a clinical-grade GE Lunar DEXA scanner inside a custom-fitted mobile lab, bring it to gyms and neighborhoods on a regular schedule, and charge a price that makes repeat scanning practical — not a one-time splurge.

From the backcountry skier to the weekend jogger, Nomad provides the data necessary to optimize personal health and fitness. The scan is the same for all of them. So is the one-on-one results review with a certified technician before they leave the mobile lab.

The Fleet

Built around the gold standard

Every Nomad Fit Lab van is equipped with a GE Lunar DEXA scanner — the same clinical-grade equipment used in hospitals and research settings — installed in a custom-fitted mobile unit. The scan environment is clean, private, and purpose-built for the experience. You lie on a padded table inside the mobile lab. The scanner arm passes over you in about seven minutes. The technician walks you through your results before you leave.

Scan took about 6 minutes and it was so nice that this business is mobile! I was able to take a break at work to get my scan done quickly then head right back to work. Received my results quickly and appreciate the comprehensive imaging and information.

Fast, affordable, and easy to read reports about your scan. We're using Nomad to help our clients establish baselines of muscle mass, fat mass, and bone density that they can follow up on after a few months of training to quantify progress. It's great to see a gold standard of scientific body composition measurement become mainstream and affordable.

I visited Nomad Fit Lab in Phoenix after a co-worker recommended it. Shawn was awesome and took the time to explain my results with me. If you are looking for a healthier lifestyle and interested to see your current body composition, I highly recommend!

What We Care About

The mission is plain: make the gold standard accessible

Not a watered-down version of it — the actual clinical scan, the same one ordered in a hospital, delivered in a parking lot near you starting at $39.95.

Accuracy first.

The GE Lunar DEXA scanner isn't a proxy or an estimate — it directly measures fat, muscle, and bone. We don't cut corners on the equipment because the whole point is a number you can trust.

No gatekeeping.

Walk-ins welcome, no membership, no insurance pre-authorization. You book online, pick a location, show up. That's it.

Results that mean something.

Every scan includes a one-on-one review with a certified technician. You don't leave with a PDF you have to figure out on your own. You leave knowing what your numbers mean and what to do with them.

Prices that make repeat scanning realistic.

A single scan is $59.95. A 3-pack is $149.95. An annual plan is $39.95/month. The point of DEXA isn't a one-time snapshot — it's tracking change over time. The pricing reflects that.
