Fat, lean muscle, visceral fat, bone, metabolism, and cardio fitness. All read directly, never estimated, in a visit that runs about 30 to 45 minutes per test. The baseline the rest of your health plan stands on.

WHY IT MATTERS
The Everyday Tools Stop Short Here
A reading on the scale. A score from your wrist. A panel out of the lab. Each one is useful. Not one shows what your body is built from, how it burns fuel, or how far it can carry you. DexaFit Columbus North fills in the rest.
On GLP-1 medication, roughly 1 in 3 pounds you drop can be lean mass. The scale reads it as a win. A DEXA scan shows what really left.
Your watch estimates VO₂ Max, and that guess can drift as much as 20%. Measure it once. Then build your training around the real figure.
Bloodwork reads your chemistry. It says nothing about the fat around your organs, the muscle on your frame, or the strength of your bones. DEXA does.
HOW IT WORKS
Three tests. A baseline you can trust.
Each one reads a blind spot the mirror, the scale, and the wrist leave untouched.
See exactly what you're built from.
A single weight splits into four numbers that count: fat, lean muscle, visceral fat, and bone. You see what's holding up, what isn't, and where your effort earns its return.
Build on a measured number. Not an estimate.
VO2 Max is the most reliable single predictor of how long and how well you'll live. Work against the figure we measure here, not the one your watch approximates. Choose a full VO₂ Max or a VO₂ Submax test, whichever fits you.
Eat to a number, not a hunch.
Generic calculators can miss your real burn by as much as 20%. The test itself takes about 15 minutes of breath analysis within a visit of roughly 30 minutes, so you know the exact calories your body uses at rest and can plan your plate around it.

WHAT YOU LEARN
What we read. Why it counts.
DexaFit Columbus North turns what you can't see into numbers you can put to work.
The scale hands you one number. DEXA hands you the breakdown.
Fat, lean muscle, and bone, read region by region. Two people can share a weight and carry different risks, different metabolisms, different needs. The scale can't tell them apart. A DEXA scan can.
WHY DEXAFIT

QUICK ANSWERS
Common Questions
What sets DexaFit apart from gyms, wellness apps, and other testing options?
DexaFit uses clinical-grade instruments, the same DEXA, VO₂ Max, and RMR technology found in research hospitals and peer-reviewed studies. Each result is compared against age- and sex-matched reference data built from over a decade of scans across four continents. That context turns a raw figure into something you can act on.
Our reporting then translates those results into clear, personalized insight you can use, with specific guidance for body composition, metabolism, and performance rather than generic advice.
What does a DEXA scan actually measure?
A DEXA scan reads your body region by region, fat mass, lean mass, bone mineral density, and visceral fat, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. It's the clinical gold standard for body composition. Two people can weigh the same and look alike yet carry very different risk. The scan shows the difference in roughly 8 minutes. Your full structural picture.
How accurate is a DEXA scan next to a smart scale or handheld device?
Smart scales and handheld monitors estimate body fat from electrical signals and can run 8 to 15% off against DEXA. A DEXA scan measures directly at roughly ±2% for body fat, breaks composition down by region (arms, legs, trunk), and reports visceral fat, which no consumer device can do.
What is VO2 Max, and why does it carry so much weight?
VO₂ Max is how efficiently your body uses oxygen under load, your cardiorespiratory ceiling. Across 122,007 people it was the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality, ahead of smoking, blood pressure, and cholesterol (Mandsager et al., JAMA 2018). Most people have never had it measured. DexaFit measures it directly instead of estimating it from a wrist sensor.
Is a VO2 Max test only for athletes?
No. It suits anyone who trains, anyone thinking about longevity, and anyone who wants to know where they stand. VO₂ Max responds to training at any age. Your number gives you a target and a way to confirm your training is working.
What happens during an RMR Metabolism test?
RMR is your Resting Metabolic Rate, the calories your body burns at rest to keep you running. DexaFit measures it through breath analysis (indirect calorimetry), the clinical standard. App and calculator estimates can be off by 20 to 30%, often the difference between a nutrition plan that works and one that stalls.
What does knowing my RMR let me do?
It removes the guesswork from eating. You'll know the calories your body needs for fat loss, muscle gain, or maintenance, drawn from your measured metabolism rather than an algorithm's estimate of it.
What is the first step with DexaFit Columbus North?
Book online, pick your tests (DEXA, VO₂ Max, RMR, or a combination), and come in. Your results are walked through in a detailed report and measured against age- and sex-matched reference ranges, so you have numbers you can take to your trainer, your nutritionist, or your doctor.
