Who we are

The foundation that sits beneath every choice you make for your health.

A number on the scale. A ring on your watch. A line on a blood panel. None of them shows you what your body is made of, what it can handle, or what keeps it running.

DexaFit opened in Chicago in 2011 around one conviction: the body deserves to be measured, not guessed at. That conviction now spans four continents and over a decade of real-world data. Portland is the latest place to carry that standard.

We do not push a diet, a pill, or a workout plan. We hand you the numbers that show whether yours are paying off. Measure first. Decide after.

What we test

Three tests. One honest read.

Each answers a question your scale, your mirror, and your wearable leave open.

Animated DEXA body composition scan

DEXA Scan

See exactly what builds you.

A fast, open-air scan charts fat, lean muscle, and bone density one region at a time, along with the visceral fat tucked around your organs. It reads body fat to roughly ±2%, while a smart scale can drift 8 to 15% off.

Animated VO2 Max fitness stats

VO₂ Max Test

The limit on what you can do.

A guided effort test gauges how well your body pulls in and uses oxygen. Across 122,007 people it forecast all-cause mortality more reliably than smoking, blood pressure, or cholesterol. Your watch guesses at this number. We measure it.Mandsager et al., JAMA 2018; N = 122,007.

Animated RMR metabolism breath test

RMR Metabolism Test

Learn what you burn at rest.

A few minutes of calm breathing shows your resting metabolism, read through breath analysis instead of pulled from a formula. App and calculator estimates can be off by 20 to 30%. Your meals get planned around your real figure.

Reviewing DexaFit results read against reference ranges
How we work

Clinical-grade, measured against the right benchmark.

A figure means little without the right comparison beside it. We read every result against age- and sex-matched reference ranges, then put it in plain language you can use. You walk out knowing where you stand and what comes next.

DexaFit fits alongside your physician, your coach, and your wearables, never in place of them. We are the baseline the rest of your plan gets measured against.

Return in a few months and the numbers report back without flattery: what shifted, what held, and whether the plan earned its keep.
