    Body Fat Analysis in New York / New Jersey

    I'm looking for a place to get my body fat measured in the Greater NYC / Northern NJ area.

    I find that most hospitals I call don't understand what I want, and pass me around from department to department.

    I found one - St Luke's Hospital (212-523-4194) offers Bod-Pod measurement for $125, and hydrostatic weighing for $150. I would prefer DEXA laser measurement, though.

    Anybody know of other places?

    Did you ever find DEXA bf testing in NJ/NY area? I thought St. Luke's offered it?

    wow, they're really overcharging.. hydrostatic weighing usually runs around 30$ in most places.

    Did you check universities?

    BTW, DEXA is an x-ray scan not a laser.. just so you don't call and say "DEXA laser"

    While this thread is up, does anyone know of any hydrostatic testing in either Buffalo, Syracuse, or preferably Rochester? Google is letting me down.

    I called Bod Pod and they said they have one in Rutgers and also one in Lincroft somewhere (didn't ask about that one). I put in an email to somebody at Rutgers to see what the details are. Will report back in when I hear something.

    Thanks for the info above. I just called and confirmed that they are still doing the 70$ special. I asked how long the promotion will be running. The reception was unconvincing, but indicated "Probably for a while".

    I think I may do this I'm very curious about the exact % body fat.

    The promotional period has ended- the scan is $120 including consultation with a physician. The scan includes core scan visceral fat analysis, which is a GE proprietary feature- as well as the complete body scan with enhanced analysis
