Lean tissue is a sign of health and vitality. Excessive body fat is not. Your scales can’t tell the difference, but a Dexa Fit body scan can…
What are you made of?
A Dexa Fit body scan details exactly how much lean tissue, fat tissue, and bone mass composes your body, and its specific distribution—including the percentage of fat and lean tissue in the arms, legs, trunk, and differences between the left and right sides of the body.
Our team specializes in advanced body composition imaging through the use of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA is the gold standard of body fat testing and is the reference method of choice in the research and medical communities.
We help everyone from professional athletes to everyday people learn what their bodies are made of. Our test and analysis bridges the gap between understanding your body and its limiting factors and implementing a plan that meets your specific health and body composition goals.
Do your workouts work?
Our body composition testing is much more than a body fat percentage. Below are different ways athletes, coaches, trainers, and doctors are utilizing our scans:
- Determining pre- and post-workout fuel mixtures based on
body fat and lean tissue percentage - Establishing baseline measurements to monitor strength, conditioning
and nutrition program effectiveness - Evaluating whether body composition is appropriate for sport,
position, health, and goals - Tracking body composition levels throughout rehabilitation of a severe injury
to ensure athletes or individuals aren’t losing too much muscle or gaining too much fat - Reassurance tests: monitoring whether weight gain or loss is lean mass or fat
Finding irregularities in food behavior - Estimating the amount of bone mineral content in specific areas of the body
and tracking rates of bone loss
Don’t be a slave to the scale
Scales only measure weight loss and weight gain—a poor indicator of progress. Mirrors and photos only give you a subjective idea of your program’s effectiveness—a feedback mechanism that’s frequently prone to bias. For a successful health and body transformation, it’s important to utilize tools that can accurately evaluate the merits of your training program, so you don’t waste time and effort.
At Dexa Fit, we’re offering you a new, objective way to look at your body, which will keep you and your program accountable to your goals. Our scans give you the feedback necessary for optimizing your training programs and addressing the limiting factors stalling your progress towards optimal health, body composition and performance.
