LISS, MISS, or HIIT… does one work better for reducing visceral fat?

We’ve gotten this question more than once lately, so we broke it down. 👀

What a weekend for Triad DEXA Ambassador Coach Eric! 👏

Eric took the stage at both the NPC Upstate Natural and the Yorton Cup this weekend—but his season isn’t finished yet.

These shows give Eric and his coach another opportunity to evaluate where he is, collect valuable data, and pair that feedback with DEXA as they continue tracking his body composition through the final stretch of the season.

That’s one of the things we love about working with competitive athletes. Each scan becomes another piece of the bigger picture—not just data from one moment, but information that can be compared across an entire prep and used to help guide what comes next.

Congratulations on a great weekend, Eric. Now let’s finish the season strong! 💪 by @triaddexa

A huge congratulations to Triad DEXA Ambassador Coach Kathy on taking the stage at the Yorton Cup yesterday in Pro Figure! 👏

These DEXA results were from three weeks out, showing the progress Kathy had made after months of hard work:

• −22.2 lbs of fat mass
• 29% → 16% body fat
• 96.1 lbs of lean mass maintained heading into the final weeks

DEXA gave Kathy and her coach an objective way to track what was happening throughout prep while the work showed up where it mattered—on stage.

We’re proud to have Kathy representing Triad DEXA not only as an athlete, but as one of our Ambassador Coaches who understands the value of using real data with her own clients.

Congratulations, Kathy! 💪 by @triaddexa

Congratulations to Triad DEXA Ambassador Coach Bear on taking the stage yesterday at the NPC Upstate Natural! 👏

Bear has put in a tremendous amount of work throughout this prep, using DEXA along the way to objectively track the changes happening beneath the surface.

As both a competitor and a coach, he understands the value of having real data to measure progress—and we’re proud to have him representing Triad DEXA and sharing that value with his own clients.

Congratulations on finishing out the season strong, Bear! 💪 by @triaddexa

DEXA SCAN Transformation!!! Night and day since my first scan back in October 2025! 212lbs to 143lbs and 32% to 7% body fat 🤯😮‍💨 (swipe to see the difference)

Another successful visit to @triaddexa to track my progress as I enter the last show of my 2026 prep and end 48 weeks of dieting discipline and determination. We have a tremendous amount of data that allows us to strategically plan both for future competition prep and for healthy strategic growth for offseason.

Thank you to owners Jeff and Marianne Cook for the breaking down the data and the knowledge gained on this journey!

Benjamin’s first bodybuilding show is approaching, but the plan goes well beyond show day.

He came in for a baseline DEXA so he and his coach have objective data as they finish prep for his classic physique debut. Then, shortly after the show, he’ll be back to establish another checkpoint as they transition into the offseason.

That’s where tracking gets really valuable.

Having data from different phases gives athlete and coach something objective to compare as the focus shifts from getting stage-ready to recovering, growing, and improving for the next one.

The goal isn’t just to see where you are today. It’s to build a history you can learn from. taken in Independence Fitness by @triaddexa

One year ago today, our DEXA machine arrived at Independence Fitness.

By that point, months of work had already happened behind the scenes with registration, planning, approvals and preparation. But seeing the machine come through the doors, watching the engineer install and calibrate it, and finally seeing the room come together made everything feel real.

A lot has happened in this room over the last year. Baselines have been established. Progress has been measured. Athletes have tracked preps and off-seasons. Clients have seen changes that a bathroom scale could never show them. And we’ve learned a lot along the way.

We’re incredibly thankful for every person who has trusted us with their DEXA scans, shared their progress with us, referred friends and family, and supported Triad DEXA along the way. We truly wouldn’t be here without you.

Today is, of course, a day with significance far beyond our little business, so we’re simply taking a moment to quietly look back and thank God for how far Triad DEXA has come since this machine first arrived.

One year later, we’re still learning, growing, and laughing! taken in Independence Fitness by @triaddexa

Two weeks out and exactly where we hoped to be.

Eric came in today for another DEXA as he closes in on show day, and the data put him in an excellent position for these final two weeks.

Compared to where he was during peak week of his last prep, he’s already knocking on the door with time left to keep tightening things up.

This is where having objective data during contest prep becomes so valuable. In addition to the scale, photos, and the mirror, you can see what’s actually happening and compare those changes from one prep to the next.

We’re proud to have Eric representing Triad DEXA as one of our ambassadors and using DEXA as part of his own competitive journey.

Two weeks to finish strong. 💪 taken in Independence Fitness by @triaddexa

Meet the owners of Triad DEXA. 👋

We’re Jeff and Marianne Cook, the husband-and-wife team behind Triad DEXA and owners of Independence Fitness.

Our backgrounds are a little different, but health, fitness, and helping people better understand their bodies is a shared passion of ours.

Jeff is a Marine Corps veteran with a degree in Kinesiology from UNCG and more than 16 years of experience in the fitness industry. He’s a professional bodybuilder, contest prep coach, and serves as Triad DEXA’s Radiation Safety Officer.

Marianne began her career as a dental hygienist before transitioning into the fitness industry. She’s a competitive figure athlete, contest prep and posing coach, Barbell Rehab Specialist, and serves as Triad DEXA’s Lead Technician, which means she’s the face most of you see when you come through our doors!

Triad DEXA grew out of our shared belief that people deserve better information about what’s actually happening inside their bodies. We wanted the best technology we could find, accurate data, and an experience where people leave actually understanding their results.

We’re also parents of two, followers of Christ, and when we’re not working or training, there’s a pretty good chance we’re somewhere enjoying the outdoors.

This business is very hands-on for us. When you call, message, schedule a scan, or walk through the door, you’re dealing directly with the people who own and operate it.

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has trusted Triad DEXA to be part of their journey. 💙 by @triaddexa

🦴 Tu densidad mineral ósea
🔥 La distribución de grasa por zonas del cuerpo 📍 Tu grasa visceral

📈 Y comparar cambios reales en tu composición corporal a través del tiempo.

Does breastfeeding affect muscle mass and bone density*?

It’s a question that recently came up during a scan—and it’s a good one.

Lactation can temporarily affect bone mineral density, but that doesn’t mean breastfeeding causes permanent bone loss. And when it comes to muscle, breastfeeding itself doesn’t appear to automatically mean losing lean tissue.

The bigger picture matters: nutrition, adequate fueling, resistance training, recovery, hormonal status, and where you are in the breastfeeding/postpartum timeline can all influence what we see.

Swipe through for a quick breakdown. ➡️

Progress is even better when you get to track it together. 💪

Chip came back for his first follow-up scan just six weeks after establishing his baseline. A little earlier than we typically recommend—but Ella was ready to get her own baseline, so why not make it a DEXA date? 😄

Even in that shorter window, Chip had measurable changes that lined up with the goals he’s been working toward, while Ella now has her own starting point to measure from moving forward.

We love seeing couples support each other in their health and fitness goals—and now these two have the data to track their progress right alongside each other.

Here’s to the next scan! 👏 by @triaddexa
