When, where and how much

There's no pod to visit yet. Soma Labs, the Palo Alto company building Soma Axon, is working on the first prototype now. You can join the waitlist to hear when the first pod opens and when the Soma app is ready for you.

From FAQ and About.

No. Soma's comparison page lists Soma Axon's availability as not yet: the first prototype is being built, and the waitlist hears first. Because the pod isn't available, Soma's comparisons describe it as it's being designed. Leaving an email on the waitlist is how you'd hear when the first pod opens.

From Compare and FAQ.

Soma hasn't announced a price yet. It says Soma is meant to be a weekly habit and will be priced like one, with prices shared before the first pod opens and the waitlist hearing them first. The optional blood test will be an add-on with its own price. Like the rest of Soma, it's part of a general wellness product.

From Compare and FAQ.

For now, Soma's Terms of Use say it's free during the beta, and that if a paid feature comes later, you'll see its price and be asked to agree before any charge. No price has been announced for Soma Axon itself. Soma says it'll be priced like a weekly habit, and the waitlist hears prices first.

From Terms of Use, Compare and FAQ.

Soma plans to put pods in its own studio and in longevity clinics, gyms, workplaces and pharmacies, all on one account. It's choosing the first places to host one now. People on the waitlist will be the first to hear where the first pod opens.

From About, FAQ and For organizations.

Yes. One Soma account works at every Soma Axon pod, so your record follows you from one venue's pod to another's, whether that's Soma's own studio, a gym or a pharmacy. No pod has opened yet, and the waitlist will hear first where the first one opens.

From FAQ and For organizations.

Not today. Soma's Terms of Use say it's offered only in the United States, and Soma is for adults 18 and over in the US. The first version of Soma Axon is also still being built, so for now there's a waitlist rather than any pod to visit.

From Terms of Use, FAQ, About and Compare.

Soma's Terms of Use describe Soma as a pre-release product: features can change, break or disappear without notice. Soma also doesn't promise that any feature, or the service as a whole, will always be available. Access to the beta may be limited by waitlist, invitation or capacity. Soma is free during the beta.

From Terms of Use.

Through the waitlist. Leave your email on Soma's newsletter page, and you'll be among the first to hear when Soma Axon opens and when the app is ready. Access to the beta may be limited by waitlist, invitation or capacity. Soma keeps a waitlist email until it invites you or you ask to be removed.

From FAQ, Waitlist, Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

No, they're concept renders. Soma said on its blog on September 23, 2026 that there's no pod yet and that the pictures of Axon there are concept renders, and its about page shows a concept render of the inside. The first prototype is being built now, and the waitlist hears first when a pod opens.

From The same instrument, every week, About and Compare.

How often depends on the scan. Soma's full-body scans guide notes that providers suggest a whole-body MRI once a year and a DEXA scan every 3 to 6 months, while a smart scale lives at home for a 30-second step every morning. Soma Axon, a closed pod Soma Labs is building, is meant for a few minutes once a week. It's a general wellness product, and it isn't available yet, though there's a waitlist.

From Full-body scans compared, Blog, Know thyself, About, FAQ and Compare.

Some gyms already offer 3D body scanners, which read body shape and measurements, posture and estimated fat and lean mass in under a minute, at a price each gym sets. Soma is building another option: Soma Axon, a pod members would use for a few minutes before or after a session to see what their training changes, week after week. The gym would see usage, never results. It's a general wellness product, still being built.

From Full-body scans compared, For organizations, FAQ and About.

Soma describes Soma Axon for workplaces as a benefit people use every week. The employer pays for it and never sees anyone's results, since members own what the pod reads. Visits take a few minutes, and one account works at every pod. Soma is still choosing the first places to host one, with the first prototype being built now.

From For organizations, Know thyself, FAQ and About.

It depends on the kind. As of September 26, 2026, Soma's guide put a whole-body MRI at about $899 to $2,499 and a DEXA scan at about $40 to $185, while a 3D body scan is priced by each gym. Soma Axon, the weekly pod Soma Labs is building, doesn't have a price yet. Soma says it'll be priced like a weekly habit.

From Full-body scans compared and Compare.

Soma's guide reports what providers suggest: a whole-body MRI once a year, a DEXA scan every 3 to 6 months and, from one 3D scanner maker, every 30 to 90 days. Soma Axon is built for a weekly visit, so you can see how your readings change from one week to the next. It's a general wellness product, and it isn't available yet.

From Full-body scans compared, FAQ and Compare.

A smart scale takes 30 seconds at home, and Soma's guide puts a 3D body scan at under a minute. Soma Axon is being built for about the same time as getting a coffee: a few minutes of standing still, then a recovery part. It's a general wellness product, and it isn't open yet, so the way in for now is the waitlist.

From Blog, Full-body scans compared, Home, FAQ and Compare.

A whole-body MRI cost about $899 to $2,499 when Soma's guide checked its sources on September 26, 2026, with providers suggesting one a year. Soma hasn't announced a price for Soma Axon. It's meant as a weekly habit, and Soma says it'll price it like one and share prices before the first pod opens.

From Full-body scans compared, Compare and FAQ.

Soma puts it this way: a check-up reads you once a year, while Soma reads you every week, which adds up to 52 whole-body reads a year. It doesn't replace your doctor or your check-ups, and Soma tells people to keep both. Soma Axon isn't available yet, and it's a general wellness product.

From Home, FAQ and Compare.

Soma's guide, checked on September 26, 2026, lists a DEXA scan at about $40 to $185, taking about 7 to 11 minutes, with providers suggesting one every 3 to 6 months. Soma Axon is built for a few minutes once a week, and its price isn't announced. DEXA uses a very low dose of X-rays, while the pod uses nothing ionizing. Soma is a general wellness product.

From Full-body scans compared, Know thyself and FAQ.

If your gym has one, yes. Soma's guide says 3D body scanners are found in gyms, take under a minute and read body shape and measurements, posture and estimated fat and lean mass, at a price each gym sets. Soma Axon, planned for gyms too, isn't available yet. When it opens, members would use it for a few minutes before or after a session. It's a general wellness product.

From Full-body scans compared, FAQ, Compare and For organizations.

Before the first pod opens. Soma says it'll share prices ahead of that opening, and people on the waitlist will hear them first. Until then, Soma's comparison page lists the price of Soma Axon as not announced, noting only that it'll be priced like a weekly habit.

From FAQ and Compare.

No. Under Soma's Terms of Use, any paid feature introduced later comes with its price shown up front and your agreement asked for before a charge. During the beta, Soma is free. Nothing has been priced yet for Soma Axon itself.

From Terms of Use and Compare.

Soma Axon is still being built, and Soma has said it'll share prices before the first pod opens, with the waitlist hearing them first. It's meant to be a weekly habit, and Soma plans to price it like one, in keeping with its aim of a price a person can actually pay.

From About and FAQ.

Soma says Soma is meant to be a weekly habit and that it'll price it like one. Soma Labs describes its aim as making knowing yourself something you can measure every week, at a price a person can actually pay. It hasn't put a number on that yet: prices come out before the first pod opens, and the waitlist hears them first.

From FAQ, About and Compare.

Yes. The blood test will be an add-on with its own price, separate from whatever the weekly visit costs. It's optional, and Soma hasn't announced prices for either yet. Like the rest of Soma, it's part of a general wellness product. Prices come out before the first pod opens.

From FAQ and Compare.

Soma hasn't said yet. The pods are planned for Soma's own studio and for longevity clinics, gyms, workplaces and pharmacies. Soma is choosing the first places to host one now, and people on the waitlist will be the first to hear where the first pod opens.

From FAQ and For organizations.

Yes. Soma Labs' about page says the first prototype of Soma Axon is being built now, and the newsletter page says the same. Soma's own blog is candid about it too: when it compares Soma with a clinic scan that's already open, it notes that Soma Axon is a prototype Soma is still building.

From About, Waitlist and Blog.

Because it isn't available yet. Soma's comparisons say that since Soma Axon isn't available, its row describes the pod as Soma is designing it, and Soma says what it writes about other products comes from their makers' own pages, dated on each comparison. The first prototype is still being built.

From Compare and About.

Pharmacies are one of the places Soma plans to put Soma Axon, alongside its own studio, longevity clinics, gyms and workplaces. There, a visit would take a few minutes on the way to the counter, and with an attendant on site, the pod can offer the optional finger-prick blood test. No pod is open yet. Soma is a general wellness product.

From FAQ, For organizations and Compare.

That's the role Soma describes for Soma Axon in longevity clinics: a weekly read between the deeper workups a clinic already runs, giving clients a reason to come back every week. Members own what the pod reads, and the clinic sees how often it's used, never anyone's results. Soma is choosing the first places to host one while the first prototype is built. It's a general wellness product.

From For organizations, About and FAQ.

For Soma Axon, Soma lays out four steps. You tell Soma about your place: its location, how many people come through and what you'd want from a pod. Soma visits to see the space and how a pod would fit your day. It then installs the pod and trains your staff, and members step in, change in a private room and leave with one calm number. The first prototype is still being built.

From For organizations and About.

Soma's drawing of Soma Axon marks the pod at 1.3 m wide and 2.3 m tall. It's a closed cabin, and members change in a private room before they step in. Soma visits a prospective venue to see the space and talk through how a pod would fit its day. The pod is still a prototype being built.

From Home, For organizations and About.

Soma Axon is being planned that way. One Soma account works at every pod, and a member's record follows them from one venue's pod to another's, whether the pod stands in Soma's own studio, a gym, a workplace, a pharmacy or a longevity clinic. None of the pods are open yet. People on the waitlist will hear first where the first one opens.

From FAQ, For organizations and Compare.

Soma's waitlist is one example of what gets collected: your email plus technical details such as your IP address, approximate location, browser and device, used to keep automated sign-ups out and learn which channels bring people in. Soma keeps the email until it invites you or you ask to be removed, and never longer than 24 months. Every waitlist message has an unsubscribe link, and Soma doesn't sell personal information.

From Privacy Policy.

Soma's app shows how that can work. Soma is in beta, a pre-release product whose features can change, break or disappear without notice. Access may be limited by waitlist, invitation or capacity. The beta is free. Joining the waitlist is how you'd hear when the app is ready for you.

From Terms of Use and FAQ.

Several kinds are covered in Soma's full-body scans guide, with sources read on September 26, 2026: whole-body MRI, DEXA scans, 3D body scanners in gyms, smart scales and dermatology skin checks, each with its own time, price and suggested frequency. The same guide lists Soma Axon as a weekly pod that's still being built, with no price announced. Soma Axon isn't bookable yet, and there's a waitlist.

From Full-body scans compared and Compare.

Some scans are short enough: Soma's guide puts a 3D body scan at under a minute and a DEXA scan at about 7 to 11 minutes, while a whole-body MRI takes 22 to 60. Soma Axon, which Soma plans to put in workplaces among other places, is meant to take a few minutes. It's a general wellness product, and it isn't available yet.

From Full-body scans compared, FAQ, Know thyself and Compare.

Soma Axon's first version is for adults. You need to be 18 or older and in the United States to use Soma, and the first version of the pod isn't for anyone under 18. If Soma finds out it collected personal information from someone under 18, it deletes it. The pod is still being built, with a waitlist.

From FAQ, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Compare.

A smart scale lives at home, and Soma's blog calls that its strength: you can step on it every morning in 30 seconds. Soma Axon is a place you'd go once a week instead, and in return it reads you under the same light, from the same positions and with the same instrument every week. Both read body composition with a very small electrical current. Soma Axon isn't available yet, and it's a general wellness product.

From Blog, Compare, Full-body scans compared and FAQ.

Soma's own blog says so about the clinic scan it compared itself with: those clinics are open, while Soma Axon is a prototype Soma is still building. Soma's comparison page describes clinic scans in general as reading much more than rings or watches, less often. Soma Axon is being built to read the whole body every week in a few minutes. It's a general wellness product, and there's a waitlist.

From Blog, Compare and FAQ.

Over a year, providers suggest one whole-body MRI, which takes 22 to 60 minutes and images organs and tissue, according to Soma's guide. Weekly Soma Axon visits would add up to 52 whole-body reads in the same year, a few minutes each, without imaging any organs. Soma is a general wellness product, and its pod isn't available yet.

From Full-body scans compared, FAQ, Know thyself and Compare.

Not the first version of Soma Axon. Soma says the first version isn't for you if you're pregnant or under 18. The pod reads body composition with a very small electrical current, and its recovery part uses heat and cold. If you're unsure whether it suits you, Soma suggests asking your doctor before your first visit. Soma is a general wellness product, and the pod isn't available yet in any case.

From FAQ and Compare.

No. The first version of Soma Axon isn't for people with a pacemaker, an implanted defibrillator or another implanted electronic device. The pod reads body composition with a very small electrical current. Soma suggests asking your doctor before a first visit if you're unsure, and it's a general wellness product that isn't available yet.

From FAQ and Compare.

Adults 18 and over in the United States who can stand still for a few minutes. The first version isn't for people who are pregnant or under 18, or who have a pacemaker, an implanted defibrillator or another implanted electronic device. Making the pod work for people who can't stand is on Soma's roadmap. The pod is still being built, and there's a waitlist.

From FAQ and Compare.

At least 18. Soma's Terms of Use say you must be 18 or older and located in the United States to use Soma, and by using it you confirm you meet those requirements. Soma isn't directed to children, and if it learns it collected personal information from someone under 18, it deletes it.

From Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Not yet. The first version of Soma is for adults who can stand still for a few minutes. The reading happens standing still, with your hands on the grips and your feet on the plate. Soma says making the pod work for people who can't stand is on its roadmap. The pod itself is still being built.

From FAQ and Home.

Soma reads every note sent through its organizations form and writes back by email. From there, Soma comes to see the space and talks through how a pod would fit the venue's day. It then installs the pod and trains the staff to run it and help a member through a visit. Soma is choosing the first places to host Soma Axon while the prototype is built.

From For organizations and About.

How often the pod gets used, and never anyone's results. Members own what Soma Axon reads, and Soma illustrates the venue's view as visits through the week shown as bars, beside a locked results area. Each member keeps their own account at every pod, gets every value with its margin of error and has their data deleted when they ask. It's a general wellness product.

From For organizations and FAQ.

Your email address, plus technical details of the sign-up: your IP address and the approximate location it suggests, your browser and device, your language and time zone, the page you arrived on and the link that sent you. Soma also records the pages you viewed during that visit. It uses these to keep automated sign-ups out and to learn which channels bring people to Soma.

From Privacy Policy.

Until Soma invites you or you ask to be removed, and in any case no longer than 24 months after you joined. The technical details of the sign-up are kept as long as the email, except the IP address and the postal code and coordinates, which Soma removes after 12 months. You can unsubscribe using the link in any waitlist message.

Soma hasn't opened it yet. It's designing an API so the apps people already use can read their Soma results with their permission, and developers can join early access and help shape it. The draft covers what the pod reads at each visit, and Soma notes that names will change because it's still a draft. Soma Axon itself is still being built.

From Developers and About.

Soma Labs Inc., a company in Palo Alto, California. It's building the first prototype of Soma Axon, the weekly whole-body scan, and the Soma app that goes with it. Nothing is available yet, and people can join the waitlist to hear when the first pod opens. Soma is a general wellness product.

From About, Compare and FAQ.

For Soma Axon, the way is the waitlist. People on it will be the first to hear where the first pod opens, and they'll be among the first to hear when the pod opens and the app is ready. Prices go to the waitlist first as well. The pods are planned for Soma's own studio, longevity clinics, gyms, workplaces and pharmacies.

From FAQ.

They aren't either-or. Soma says a watch or band covers the days and Soma Axon covers the week, and the Soma app reads your phone and watch between visits. A watch is optional for Soma, and wearing one gives the app more detail about the days in between. Soma Axon is still being built, and it's a general wellness product.
