About the price of two DEXA scans. Every scan after that is free.
Love all the DEXA scan metrics beyond just weight. I scan every day to measure my progress. Being 64, the most interesting stats to me are visceral fat and muscle to fat age...
Chris H., 64 TrustpilotOne year of scans: a single yearly DEXA reading next to 52 weekly ScanFit readings.
A DEXA Scan Is Accurate. But You Can't Get The Scan Every Week.
You already know what a DEXA scan shows you. Your fat and your muscle in pounds, right down to the fat around your organs.
But every scan means booking it, driving there and paying again. BodySpec charges about $40 to $60, and clinics charge up to $260, so most people get one or two a year.
And in between, you're winging it with the mirror and how your clothes fit. By the time your next scan comes around, the months you could have changed are already gone.
We Didn't Test It In Our Own Office
Shenzhen University General Hospital tested ScanFit on 50 people from November 17 to December 1, 2023. Each person stepped on ScanFit and had a DEXA scan. Every reading is below.

What The Hospital Found
The hospital scored how closely ScanFit followed DEXA. 1.00 would be a perfect match.
It worked one time literally and constantly gave error messages. I ordered the scanfit and it has worked flawlessly since day one.
Really appreciate all the data provided from the scaleway more than my previous scale. Also, support was very responsive to my questions and focused on making sure I was happy with the product.

It Reads You The Way The Stand-Up Machines In Clinics Do
DEXA uses a low-dose X-ray, so you have to go to it. ScanFit uses steel plates for your feet and a steel handle for your hands, the same kind of contact the stand-up body scanners at clinics and gyms use.
Feet only, then a guess
The signal never reaches your arms or your middle. The app fills them in with an estimate.
Hands and feet, the whole body
Pull the handle up and the signal runs through your arms, your middle and your legs. Then the app splits it into fat, muscle and water.
Most smart scales put their sensors in a thin, see-through coating on top of the glass.
ScanFit uses solid brushed steel for all four foot plates and both ends of the handle. That's the kind of metal contact the stand-up body scanners in clinics use.
It reads you at more than one frequency, from 20 to 100 kHz. Muscle holds a lot of water, so the signal moves through it easily. Fat slows it down, and that difference is how the scanner tells the two apart.
Solid steel on the left. Coated glass on the right. The plates are the part that touches your skin, so that's where every reading starts.
Built Like The Machines In Clinics And Gyms
Those stand-up body scanners read you through steel under your feet and steel in your hands. ScanFit does the same thing on your bathroom floor.
Three Steps, About A Minute
Do it first thing in the morning, before you eat or drink. Once a week is enough to see your trend.

Step on barefoot.
Your heels and the balls of your feet sit on the four steel plates.

Pull the handle up.
Hold both steel ends at chest height. Now the reading reaches your arms and your middle.

Read it on your phone.
Fat, muscle, water and the fat around your organs, each on its own line. Every scan is saved, so you see what moved.

What A Year Of Weekly Scans Looks Like
A DEXA scan once a year gives you one dot. Weekly ScanFit scans give you 52 of them, and a line you can actually follow.
You see the month your muscle dipped and the month the fat around your organs started to drop, so you can change what you eat and how you train while it still counts. You can keep your yearly DEXA if you like. ScanFit covers every week in between.

Example of one week's scan in the app.
What To Expect
Your first scan. Put it next to your last DEXA if you have one.
Your first trend line. You can see which way your fat and your muscle are moving.
Twelve scans in. That's more readings than 10 years of yearly DEXA scans.
Your trial ends. Keep it, or send it back for a full refund.
People Who Stopped Guessing
This is a great find works exceptionally well and is considerably less expensive than the next comparable scale.
It gives me all the information I was looking for... it helps me understand what I need to do to make my health better, even at 70.
I made a phone call to the number on their site and within a few minutes I was speaking to a real live person. No AI nonsense!
I love to see the incremental changes!
I have started exercise routine and like how I can measure how well its working for me, measure my fat and muscle.
I recently started on a GLP-1 and have been tracking my macros and calories. I wanted to be able to see my progress internally, not simply just my weight.

Why Hans Only Sells Two Products
Hans Landbo spent 18 months building the ScanFit body scanner. He wanted something simple that shows how what you eat and how you train change your body, week by week.
His words: You don't need more products to lose fat or build muscle. You need context.

Will it match my DEXA exactly?
No home scanner will match a DEXA to the decimal. In the hospital test, ScanFit's fat reading was close to DEXA for 50 of 50 people, and its muscle reading for 49 of 50. For tracking the weeks between scans, that's what you need.
Should I still get a DEXA?
If you want one exact picture a year, yes. ScanFit is for the weeks in between, when you're deciding what to eat and how to train.
I've heard water changes these readings. Can I trust it?
Water changes the reading on any scale like this one. So scan at the same time each morning, before you eat or drink, and watch the trend over a few weeks. The direction of the line is what tells you if it's fat or muscle that's leaving.
How is it different from the smart scale I already have?
Most cheap smart scales read you through your feet only and guess the rest, so the number swings from one morning to the next. ScanFit's handle puts your hands in the reading too, through solid steel plates, and it was tested next to a hospital DEXA scan on 50 people.
How is it different from Hume or Withings?
All three read your hands and your feet. ScanFit is $119. Hume's Body Pod is $229 and the Withings Body Scan is $499.95. ScanFit also gives you 100 days to try it. Hume gives you 45 and Withings gives you 30.
Will I actually keep using it?
It takes about a minute. You step on, pull the handle up, and the scan saves to the app. Most people scan once a week, first thing in the morning, so it fits into the routine you already have.
Is there a monthly app subscription?
No. All 45 readings are free in the app for as long as you own the scanner. There's an optional paid plan with coaching, and you don't need it to see your numbers.
Can my family use it?
Yes. Up to 10 people can each have their own profile on one scanner.
Can I pay with my HSA or FSA card?
Yes, right at checkout.
Is it safe?
Yes. The signal is tiny and you won't feel it. Don't use it if you have a pacemaker or another implanted device.
