Big changes for Bodycomp


It’s been a while since I have last updated the blog. I apologize to you humble internet, for we all know there is nothing more tiresome than stale information and stagnant blogs. I have an excuse. I have several actually. Bodycomp has gone though a metamorphosis of sorts. I’m actually tempted to make phoenix analogies but I’d prefer not to jinx the DXA scanner into bursting into flames, especially not while one of you fine people is laying on top of it, getting scanned.
So Bodycomp is now a full time operation with a permanent address in downtown Vancouver. I’ve taken a leave from my job as a Nuclear Medicine tech at St. Paul’s hospital to go at it alone. Ruth has stepped away from Bodycomp to focus on improving her health personally, and Jordan Savory has joined Bodycomp to assist with scanning duties on Mondays.

Having an office downtown has changed the focus of our business significantly. It is now much easier for clients that work or live downtown to schedule an appointment throughout the day. I am going to miss providing scans up at Whistler at the health fair or setting up the trailer at one of the cycling races around town. We will also be doing less research studies as we are no longer able to visit the outer reaches of the Metro region.
However, I believe change happens for a reason. I’m looking forward to meeting more of the incredible athletes that train downtown and am also happy to meet their trainers, coaches and support staff. Vancouver is at a very exciting time is it’s existence, and I’m very happy to building Bodycomp with so many complimentary activities happening all around. I look forward to seeing you soon
