Liberty Village is the most-searched DEXA scan neighbourhood in Toronto, and our studio sits right in the middle of it. If you live or work between King West and Exhibition, our Toronto studio is probably your closest body-composition DEXA option — and at $29.99, it’s also the most affordable in the GTA. Here’s everything you need to know about getting a DEXA scan in Liberty Village.

Where to find us

Our Toronto studio is in Liberty Village, walking distance from Lamport Stadium and the King-Liberty pedestrian bridge. The neighbourhood has tons of parking, plenty of post-scan coffee options (Balzac’s, Sam James, Dineen), and reliable transit access from across the city.

Transit options:

• 504 King streetcar — runs through the heart of Liberty Village.
• Exhibition GO Station — 8-minute walk. Reliable from west-end suburbs.
• Dufferin or Bathurst stations on Line 2 — short bus or streetcar transfer.
• By car: Plentiful street and lot parking. From the Gardiner, exit at Jameson or Strachan.

If you’re coming from outside Toronto, the Lakeshore West GO line (Hamilton, Mississauga, Oakville) drops you at Exhibition Station, ten minutes from the studio.

What the appointment looks like

Same flow as our Vancouver studio:

1. Check-in (3 minutes). Technician confirms your details and walks you through the appointment.
2. Change (3 minutes). Private changing area. Wear something metal-free.
3. Scan (7 minutes). Lie still while the scanning arm passes over you. No tube, no noise. Radiation dose roughly equivalent to a one-hour flight.
4. Results walkthrough (15–17 minutes). Full report on screen — body fat, lean mass, visceral fat, bone density. Every number explained.

Total appointment: 30 minutes. You leave with a PDF and online dashboard access.

Why Liberty Village clients keep coming back

The neighbourhood is dense with people who care about body composition — runners using Lamport, F45 and Equinox members, Bay Street folks home from the office. We see clients in three patterns:

1. One-time baseline. Curious about their numbers, want a benchmark.
2. Quarterly tracking. Active fat-loss or muscle-gain phase. Re-scan every 8–12 weeks.
3. Athlete monitoring. Distance runners, triathletes, weightlifters tracking lean mass and asymmetries.

For the first group, $29.99 is roughly the price of two coffees and a sandwich at the corner café — easy first step. For repeat clients, our subscription is $20/month with unlimited scans, which works out to roughly $13 per scan if you come quarterly.

What you walk out with

• Total body fat percentage with absolute fat mass in pounds.
• Regional breakdown — fat and lean mass in each arm, leg, and trunk.
• Visceral fat (VAT) — the metabolically active deep abdominal fat.
• Bone mineral density with T-scores and Z-scores.
• RMR estimate derived from your lean mass.
• Percentile bands against age-matched and young-adult populations.

Pairing with VO2 max or RMR

The Toronto studio runs the same VO2 max and RMR testing as Vancouver. If you’re already coming in for a DEXA, adding a VO2 max test is a 45-minute extension that gives you cardiovascular fitness data alongside your body composition. See our packages for bundled options.

How to compare with other Toronto options

Liberty Village isn’t the only place to get a DEXA scan in the GTA, but most alternatives charge significantly more:

• Studio Athletica (Toronto): $85, sports-medicine clinic.
• Bone Wellness Centre (Broadview): Pricing not public; medical imaging.
• GNMI (Toronto): $300 for whole-body composition.
• Hospital-affiliated radiology: $300–$499, often requires referral.

Same Hologic scanner family used at most of these. We charge less because we built the business around DEXA — and added the dashboard, peer comparison, and Insights layer the others don’t have.
