Numbers You Can Actually Use
A scan only helps if you can read it. DexaFit Columbus puts every DEXA result into plain language, so you leave knowing where you stand and the first change worth making.
Without DexaFit
A standard device report lists raw values with nothing beside them for context. It leaves you to work out what is on track, what is slipping, and what to tackle first.
With DexaFit
Interactive dashboards shaped by over a decade of real-world data across 4 continents. Every figure turns into clear guidance on where fat sits, how muscle is balanced, and the health you are building for the long run.
Know what you are made of.
Whether you train before work in Midland, lift after hours in Phenix City, or are simply ready for honest numbers, your effort deserves better feedback than a bathroom scale. A DEXA visit at DexaFit Columbus takes about 20 minutes, roughly 8 of them on the table, and returns precise, repeatable numbers on your fat, your muscle, and your bone.
Losing fat, building strength, or protecting your health for the long haul, clear numbers replace guesswork with choices you can stand behind.
Get DexaFit Columbus GABuilt on the Clinical Gold Standard
DEXA, short for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is the clinical gold standard for body composition, with 98% accuracy (±2%). BMI, a BodPod, and bioimpedance each offer an estimate. DEXA takes a direct measurement, with more detail and far more consistent results.
This is a total body composition scan: fat, muscle, and overall skeletal health mapped region by region, plus a baseline to compare every future visit against. Want to know what that body burns at rest? Pair it with an RMR test.

Your DEXA Questions, Answered
What makes a DexaFit DEXA scan different from other body composition scans?
The scanner is the same clinical-grade DEXA technology used in research and clinical settings. What changes at DexaFit Columbus is what happens after the scan. DexaFit ai reads your results as a set, so beside body fat, lean mass, and skeletal health you also see your biological age and how each value stacks up against age and sex matched reference ranges. You walk out with a plan you can use, not a printout of raw values.
What will my DEXA results tell me?
Fat mass, lean muscle, visceral fat, and overall skeletal health, each broken out by region. Every value sits beside age and sex matched norms on a color-coded heat map, so change is easy to spot from one Columbus visit to the next. This is a total body composition scan, not a site-specific bone density scan.
How should I get ready for my DEXA scan?
Stop eating about 2 hours before your scan (water is fine), arrive well hydrated, and skip your workout that day. Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing with no zippers or belts. Before the scan you will empty your pockets and remove your watch, glasses, and jewelry.
Plan on about 20 minutes for the visit, with roughly 8 minutes lying still on an open table. The radiation dose is low, about what you receive from a few hours of normal everyday life.
How often should I repeat my scan?
Every 3 to 6 months works for most people. The start of a new training block, a change in how you eat, or a GLP-1 plan all make natural checkpoints, so scan before and again after to see what actually moved. That window is long enough to capture real change in fat, muscle, and bone.
Is DEXA more accurate than other ways to measure body composition?
DEXA is the clinical gold standard for body composition, with 98% accuracy (±2%). It directly measures three compartments, fat, lean, and bone, while two-compartment methods such as hydrostatic weighing or a BodPod capture two. Smart scales and handheld devices estimate from a small electrical current and can read 8 to 15 percent off as your hydration changes. Because DEXA reads each region of the body separately, the result stays dependable.
Who is a DEXA scan for?
Almost anyone with a goal. People losing weight who want to know whether it is fat or muscle, people on a GLP-1 who want to protect lean mass, runners and lifters from Columbus to Phenix City tuning their training, and anyone focused on aging well who wants a solid baseline for lean mass, visceral fat, and skeletal health. Bone loss tends to happen quietly: 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation. Longevity voices such as Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive, rely on DEXA for its accuracy.
