DexaFit

What's DexaFit's story?

DexaFit started in 2011 to bring clinical-grade body composition, cardio fitness, and metabolic testing out of hospitals and into the hands of everyday people. Today DexaFit is a technology available across four continents and 40+ states.

What makes DexaFit different?

DexaFit measures what most providers estimate. In one visit you get a clinical-grade DEXA body composition scan, a VO2 Max test, and an RMR metabolism test, plus an app that turns every number into a plan you will act on.

What is a DEXA Scan, and what does it measure?

A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is the clinical gold standard for body composition. In about 8 minutes it measures fat mass, lean mass, visceral fat, and bone density region by region at plus or minus 2 percent accuracy.

How does the DEXA scan compare to other body composition tools?

Smart scales and bioimpedance tools typically miss with an error margin of 10 percent or more and only return a single whole-body number. A DEXA scan measures composition at plus or minus 2 percent clinical accuracy and shows the breakdown by region.

Is the DEXA scan safe?

Yes. DEXA uses a very low dose of X-ray, typically less than the radiation you'd absorb on a transcontinental flight. The scan is non-invasive: you lie still on a comfortable padded table for about 8 minutes, fully clothed.

Will DexaFit show my bone density?

Yes. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is part of every DEXA scan, with T-score and Z-score readings across spine, hip, and total body. If you'd like to go deeper, a DexaStrong site-specific bone density scan (hips, L-spine, forearm, wrist) is the next level. Learn more at dexastrong.com.

When should I start checking my bone density?

The best time to know is before bone loss starts, not after. Bone loss can begin in your 30s and 40s without symptoms, and accelerates around perimenopause and on GLP-1 therapy. A baseline now gives you something to compare against later. Athletes, women approaching menopause, and anyone with a family history of osteoporosis benefit most from early baselines.

What's the difference between a DEXA scan and DexaStrong?

A DexaFit DEXA scan covers whole-body bone density alongside fat, lean mass, and visceral fat. DexaStrong is a deeper, site-specific bone density scan covering hips, lumbar spine, forearm, and wrist, built for anyone tracking osteoporosis risk, fracture prevention, or response to bone-loading interventions.
