Stepping on the scales tells you one thing: your weight. That single figure, however, says almost nothing about your health. It doesn’t reveal how much of that weight is fat, how much is muscle, or how strong your bones are. It certainly doesn’t tell you how efficient your metabolism is, or how well your body uses oxygen during exercise.
At BodyView, we believe in giving you more than numbers. We believe in giving you the whole picture of your health, fitness, and longevity. That’s why we offer not only the most advanced tests - DEXA scans, Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing, and VO₂ Max assessments – but also our exclusive BodyCompPro Reports, a professional-grade analysis that turns raw scan data into actionable insight.
This blog will show you why a BodyCompPro Report is so powerful, what sets it apart from a standard DEXA printout, and how combining it with our other tests can completely change the way you approach your health and fitness.
What is a BodyCompPro Report?
A DEXA scan produces incredibly detailed data: lean mass, fat mass, bone mineral density, visceral fat, and regional distribution. Most clinics will hand you the raw printout from the scanner - columns of numbers and basic colour charts.
At BodyView, we go further. Our BodyCompPro Reports take that raw data and run it through advanced analysis software, transforming it into a clear, contextual, and professional report that you can truly act on.
Even better: BodyCompPro Reports are exclusive to BodyView in the UK. You cannot get this enhanced report anywhere else.
Think of it like the difference between glancing at a bank statement versus receiving a full financial health review. One shows you the numbers; the other interprets them, tracks changes, and gives you the insight to improve.
Why a Standard DEXA Printout Isn’t Enough
A standard DEXA scan will tell you:
Your total fat and lean mass
Your bone mineral density
Regional breakdowns (arms, legs, trunk)
Visceral fat levels
That’s already far superior to a scale or fitness tracker. But here’s the problem: the printout often leaves you with questions.
Is my muscle mass good for my age and height?
Am I losing fat or valuable lean mass?
Is my visceral fat at a worrying level?
How do I know if my progress is on track?
The printout tells you what you are. A BodyCompPro Report tells you what it means - and where you should go next.
What Makes BodyCompPro Reports Different
Here’s how a BodyCompPro Report transforms your scan:
1. Contextual Benchmarks
Your results are compared with reference ranges for your age, sex, and body size. This shows instantly whether you’re under-muscled, carrying excess fat, or right on target.
2. Trends Over Time
Repeat scans are analysed to reveal whether you’re gaining muscle, losing fat, or moving in the wrong direction. These trend lines give you a clear picture of progress - something a one-off printout can’t.
3. Meaningful Regional Insights
Muscle imbalances, asymmetry between sides, and fat distribution patterns are flagged clearly. This is vital for athletes, but also for anyone at risk of metabolic disease linked to trunk fat.
4. Visceral Fat in Perspective
Rather than a number on a page, your visceral fat is shown in context with clear health risk ranges. You’ll see whether your risk is decreasing over time.
5. Professional Visuals
Instead of raw numbers, the report provides clean, easy-to-read graphics, colour coding, and side-by-side comparisons that make the data understandable at a glance.
6. Longevity Report
By opting in, you’ll allow us to securely collect and track your Longevity data over time, giving you deeper insights into how your body is ageing and helping us provide more personalised guidance for your long-term health
And, crucially: you can only get BodyCompPro Reports at BodyView.
Beyond Body Composition: The Full Picture at BodyView
While the BodyCompPro Report gives you the clearest view of your fat, muscle, and bone composition, it’s only one part of our comprehensive testing suite. At BodyView, we combine it with other advanced assessments for the ultimate health insight:
🔹 DEXA for Body Composition
DEXA remains the gold standard for accurately measuring fat, lean tissue, and visceral fat. Unlike other methods, it provides a precise breakdown of your body’s composition, allowing you to see real progress where it matters most. With a BodyCompPro Report, your DEXA results are translated into clear, trackable insights that guide smarter training and nutrition choices.
🔹 DEXA for Bone Health
Alongside body composition, DEXA also provides a direct measure of bone mineral density. This is critical for spotting early signs of osteopenia or osteoporosis – conditions that often go unnoticed until too late. With a BodyCompPro Report, your bone data is integrated seamlessly, helping you track bone health alongside lean mass and fat.
🔹 Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing
Your RMR tells you how many calories your body burns at rest – essentially your personal metabolic engine. Many people rely on generic calculators, but these can be wildly inaccurate. At BodyView, we measure it directly. Combined with your BodyCompPro Report, this shows not only what your body is, but also how much energy it needs to maintain and change. This makes fat-loss or muscle-gain plans far more precise.
🔹 VO₂ Max Testing
Often called the gold standard of cardiovascular fitness, VO₂ Max measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. It’s one of the strongest predictors of longevity. Pairing VO₂ Max with a BodyCompPro Report gives you the inside and outside view: your cardiovascular engine alongside your body’s composition and structure.
🔹 VO₂ and FatMax Testing
VO₂ testing is the gold standard for understanding cardiovascular fitness and endurance, while FatMax pinpoints the exact intensity where your body burns fat most efficiently. Together, they take the guesswork out of training by tailoring workouts to your unique physiology. In a BodyCompPro Report, these results are woven into your wider data, showing how your aerobic capacity and fuel use connect to body composition and long-term health.
🔹 3D Body Scan
A 3D Body Scan gives you a powerful visual record of your physique, capturing posture, symmetry, and centimetre-level changes that the scales can’t show. When combined in your BodyCompPro Report, these scans add a visual layer to your DEXA data, making progress easy to see and celebrate in every dimension.
🔹 Money-Saving Bundles
Our bundles bring together the most insightful tests at a reduced price, giving you a complete picture of your health while saving you money. Whether you’re focused on performance, fat loss, or longevity, a bundle ensures your data works harder for you. With every bundle, your BodyCompPro Report integrates all results seamlessly, so you gain maximum value without compromise.
Why Exclusivity Matters
It’s important to highlight that you cannot get a BodyCompPro Report at any other DEXA provider in the UK. Many clinics will give you the raw scan output – numbers, percentages, perhaps some graphs – but only BodyView provides this professional-level, contextual analysis.
This exclusivity matters for two reasons:
Better insight – You’ll understand your results in the context of health, performance, and longevity, not just isolated numbers.
Consistency – When you come back for repeat scans, your BodyCompPro Reports line up side by side, tracking your true progress in detail.
When combined with RMR and VO₂ Max testing, this makes BodyView the only place where you can get the full pictureof your health and performance.
Who Should Choose a BodyCompPro Report?
The short answer: anyone who wants more than a surface-level view of their body.
Weight-loss clients: Ensure you’re losing fat, not muscle.
Athletes: Spot imbalances, track lean mass, and optimise training.
Health-conscious individuals: Monitor visceral fat and bone health for long-term wellbeing.
Anyone serious about progress: See clear, contextual results over time, not just numbers.
A DEXA scan is already a powerful tool. But with a BodyCompPro Report, it becomes something more – a clear, contextual, and professional analysis that helps you understand not just where you are, but where you’re going.
When paired with bone density scanning, RMR testing, and VO₂ Max assessments, you get the ultimate health and performance insight, available exclusively at BodyView.
So, don’t settle for numbers on a page. Choose BodyCompPro. Choose BodyView. And take control of your health with data that truly makes a difference.
