DEXA Scan
A state-of-the-art body composition analysis designed to provide accurate measurements of fat, muscle, and bone density, giving you the data you need to track progress and optimize your health.
What is a DEXA scan?
From fitness to wellness, DEXA delivers insights that benefit you at every stage of your journey.
An Overview of DEXA
DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a research-grade technology that provides accurate and precise measurements of body fat, lean mass, and bone density. DEXA is considered the GOLD standard of body fat testing and body composition analysis, and is used worldwide by elite athletes and teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, the Mizzou Tigers, and is used at the US Olympic training center in Colorado Springs. The scan is fast, highly accurate, and requires no special clothing. It takes about 10 minutes and exposes you to less radiation than a 1-hour flight.
What will I learn?
Our comprehensive, customizable DEXA report provides a clear and detailed picture of your body composition. It outlines your total body fat percentage, lean mass, and bone density, while also analyzing muscle symmetry and regional composition — breaking down fat, lean tissue, and bone across the arms, legs, and trunk. To give you complete insight, the report also includes visual imaging of bone, lean tissue, and fat distribution, creating a powerful tool to track progress and optimize your health.
DEXA for Athletes
Athletes have specialized requirements when it comes to body composition. Whether you’re focused on bodybuilding, running, or another sport, understanding your body’s makeup can help elevate your performance. With DEXA scanning, you gain a precise view of key muscle groups to track gains as you train, identify fat distribution that may be hindering performance, and analyze muscle symmetry to highlight potential weaknesses and refine your regimen. In addition, DEXA provides insights into bone density, helping you stay proactive about areas of concern and supporting long-term strength and resilience.
