DEXA Scan
The DEXA
The DEXA is considered the gold standard measure of body composition. The scan takes roughly 10 minutes to complete, is non-invasive, and provides the most accurate measure of any testing tool.
The DEXA is able to measure areas of fat that aren't accessible with other testing methods and doesn’t have to estimate any region of body resulting in a more accurate measure of body fat percentage.
The Data
A DEXA provides a detailed breakdown of fat, lean, and bone mineral content in your body, and the DEXA is able to divide the body down into different regions (arms, legs, trunk) and provides a composition makeup for each region.
The segmented breakdown can highlight muscular imbalances and validate composition driven programs that focus on fat-loss or muscle gain.
The Analysis
The results of a DEXA scan can provide useful insight to how your workout & nutrition plans have impacted your composition. The data can be used to validate programs, provide info to drive changes, and track overall progress.
Using the DEXA and tracking your workouts & nutrition provides feedback to create a program that is proven to work for you.
*This is NOT a Clinical Bone Mineral Density Screening Exam. If your physician has given you a prescription specifically to evaluate your bone health, you need to search for a Diagnostic Imaging Center.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the amount of energy your body burns in a given day while at rest. By measuring your metabolism, we can determine your individual caloric needs based on your fitness goals and RMR. Ultimately we can use this information to help you work more efficiently towards your fitness goals. This test must be done fasted, non-caffeinated and no exercising prior to the test.

Working Towards Something?
Are you starting a new program, adjusting your nutrition, or a physique competitor looking to improve your workouts or learn how your fitness & nutrition program is impacting your body? Don’t simply make a change and hope that it works – regular DEXA scans and RMR tests can help you discover what works best for you no matter your goal.
The accurate and measurable data from a DEXA can show you how the variables you have changed have impacted your body over time.
Want to prove your programs work?
Clients want results and the DEXA gives you the data to prove that your workouts are getting the job done. The scale and girth measurements are outdated tools that don’t paint an accurate picture of client success.
The DEXA is a better tool to make sure clients are not simply focusing on losing weight, but instead losing fat and gaining lean muscle. Along with validating programs, the DEXA can help make educated changes, and track progress in multiple areas.
