My wife and I went for a DEXA scan yesterday. The overall experience was excellent. Booking: The online booking tool worked flawlessly, we paid in advance and selected a convenient appointment time through their web portal. We were provided comprehensive instructions and directions upon booking. Appointment: The office is on the top floor of a generic office complex, we had to look in the directory to find the location, not a big deal. The office was clean, and our technician was very friendly. When we walked in the door we saw they had printed a "Welcome" sign with the names of that day's clients on it. Pretty cool personal touch. Procedure: Our tech gave us simple instructions, briefly explained what was going on, and began the test. It's super simple, you just lie there for 6.5 minutes while the scan arm moves over you. Not claustrophobic or scary at all, this is NOT like an MRI. Results/Data: The best part of the experience, IMO. You're given a binder with nice color printouts of all your data. And there's a LOT of it. The cool thing about DEXA versus BodPod is that you get a zone breakdown of fat and lean tissue distribution so you get a clearer picture of your body composition. They also put all this data into your patient file, so that if you choose to come back for followup tests, you'll be able to track your progress. Value: We paid ~$90 each, which was a bit higher than BodPod. However, for the value we got in terms of data and explanation, we both thought it was well worth the surcharge. Plus they give you a 50% off code for your next booking, which most people will be doing anyway. So altogether you're looking at $50/scan, not too bad for a twice-a-year thing. read more

I came here with an appointment for the DEXA scan. The whole process took less than 10 mins and I got my results sent to my email within 5 mins after the test. The experience was comfortable, fast and easy. I had DEXA Scan done in the past so I can understand the results well, in addition they sent the results interpretation along with your report in the email attachment. I will come back for another scan in a year; looking forward to make some progress! read more

Quick update, while the scan gives interesting information, Colleen who administered the test is not friendly, and considering she is the face of the the business she should consider a new job. She has zero bedside etiquette. If you want to be made to feel that you are inconveniencing her by being there, this is the place for you! Lol. Honestly, it's unfortunate. I would be going there monthly on my fitness journey if it weren't for her. read more

My experience was apparently... atypical. I've successfully lost over 100 lbs on my own, but have been really struggling to lose the last 10-20 lbs after trying for several years. So I figured having real data about my metabolic rate would be helpful. I scheduled an RMR (resting metabolic rate) test to find out what my daily calorie allowance should be. I was careful to make sure my nose was fully pinched and that I kept my mouth tightly sealed over the tube for the duration of the test because I wanted my results to be as accurate as possible. I have read that it's common for people who have lost a dramatic amount of weight to be about 20% below average in terms of metabolic rate. The average RMR for someone like me is about 1500 so I expected to come in somewhere around 1200. I came in at 750. My results were so low that the print out that normally tells you how many calories per day your should eat in order to maintain or lose weight were blank because my numbers were too low for recommendations that are generally considered medically safe. My attendant (who was very kind but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the results) was clearly flummoxed and just kept telling me over and over again to talk to my doctor. This was clearly an abnormal result and I left feeling depressed and a little scared. I spoke with my doctor who ran a battery of metabolic blood tests and found I was normal on every single one, so if my metabolism really is as slow as this RMR test showed, it is not due to any medical issue (aside from being cold a lot since I lost the weight, I do not have any symptoms typically associated with someone with a metabolic issue). I don't hold Body Fat USA accountable for my slow metabolism if that is indeed a fact of life for me, but I do question the accuracy of my results and given that my technician seems confused and worried by the results as well, I am disappointed that no re-test was offered to confirm the results. I paid to get answers and instead I left with uncertain, questionable results and a light wallet. read more

I paid $200 and drove 4 hours one way for information I could have gotten from my doctor and electronic scale. I assumed that part of this would include the vital information about if I'm burning fat or carbohydrates. That's a standard part of a resting metabolic test at most other companies that do the same testing, especially for a company that is listed as "weight loss." Because I weight lift and do distance cycling, it's easy to under-eat because I'm also trying to lose weight. So knowing this information is important. Run. Run far away. They're not worth it. read more

Yelp says there open Sunday til 4pm. No hours listed on website. No answer after several attempted calls, no forward to a mobile phone and no voicemail set up. Arrived disappointed that I could not get into the building they're in and that no one was responsive. read more

I need to write a cautionary review about the data I received. I had my first DEXA in 2015, but since then have undergone some significant body changes due to a serious illness and several surgeries. I lost an enormous amount of weight in a relatively short period of time due to my health, and I had started in the healthy weight range. I had been very into fitness before I became ill, and I was concerned that the weight I had lost was due to bone density or muscle wasting. I went back to Body Fat USA to get a new DEXA in December 2017, just after my surgeries and hospitalization, and again in December 2018 when I had recovered a lot of my health and energy (if not actual weight). For underweight individuals, I wonder if the DEXA is very accurate. The 2017 and 2018 measurements showed that I had a lean mass of only 81.9 lbs, representing a disproportionate amount of muscle loss, which of course is very concerning. Right after my surgeries that kind of made sense, and it fit with how I looked in the mirror, and how weak I felt. A year later, I was very active and lifting my 55 lb son regularly and I looked much healthier, although still very thin. The DEXA reported an almost 30% body fat percentage even though you can clearly see my biceps and abs through my skin, and I was at an underweight BMI. I was suspicious that the data was inaccurate, so on a whim I went immediately to a functional medicine doctor who uses a MuscleSound body fat analysis method which takes ultrasound measurements of fat thickness on different areas of the body. He measured my body fat at 19%, and my lean body mass more than 10 lbs. higher than the numbers I got a half hour previously at Body Fat USA - meaning that I did not experience nearly as much muscle wasting as I feared. Ever the curious scientist, I then got a caliper test, which came in at 18.5% body fat, and then hydrostatic testing, which also put me in the 18-19% range. I now regularly get tested at my gym, and I have gained two pounds of muscle, putting me in the 17.5% range. Clearly this is a much healthier range for a very thin person, who at 30% body fat would be likely battling simultaneous malnourishment and skinny-fat obesity issues. My advice: take the DEXA with a serious grain of salt, and don't make any health decisions based on the information you receive at Body Fat USA. read more

The experience as a whole has been absolutely phenomenal, it is always a personalized and friendly experience. Colleen, who runs the place is an absolute lovely human who gives the greatest experience. read more

Was referred by my trainer. This is my second time going and it's always quick efficient and to the point. No lengthy all day consults just results and explanations about your results. Everyone is always nice and on time. I love it read more

Does not look like much but the staff is great and they give you the information you pay for.

The process was easy to go through, however, after the test was completed, the technician did not have a clear understanding of where or how their data is calculated. I am a part of the medical community, and Colien had no idea on how to answer basic questions on the RMRs national averages, demographic groups, or who was in them. If you plan to read a client their report, be knowledgeable enough to know what it is your reading to them and be prepared to have clients test your knowledge. Perhaps the owner could get in contact with me to go over the test results in a more sophisticated manner. That would be helpful. read more

Ok so I got an email and when I opened it from Living Social deals, this place came up. I've always been interested on knowing the most accurate form of testing my actual body fat and composition and this was PERFECT in attaining that! This is a must have done,if you into being fit and a work out junky or even if you just want to know you over all health status. I got the Dexa and was super fast like 6 minutes and Bam, your body's x-rayed and everything broken down and listed from shoulders to feet. The owners really personable and knowledgeable in this whole process. My own personal trainer is interested in knowing my results and I'm def. going to recommend her to this place. I'm actually planning on booking another appt in about 6 weeks so I can see my work out progress and so forth. My favorite part was finding out my bone density and shockingly it was good! It helps me to know I'm on a good path into my fitness regimen, minus my occasional bad smoking habit I go back to every 2-3 months for about 3 weeks at a time. lol The part I think everyone will like is the binder with printouts of your personalized body report broken down to a "T". It's Very informative and and the beginning it has the definitions explained just in case you don't know what the acronyms mean. Again, a must, must, must especially for Body Conscious people like myself. read more

See all

I really like this place. I've been wanting to do a DEXA for a while to get a more accurate reading on my body fat. When I saw the Groupon deal, I decided to give it a try. I also bought a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test. I figured it would be nice to take the guess work out of how many calories I burn everyday. When I walked in I noticed there was a welcome sign with my name on it (Nice touch!). The paper work I had to fill out was already in the counter and ready to go. Very nice and clean office. Colleen was the one that did my DEXA scan and RMR. She was very professional and explained everything in great detail. After the test she and I went over the results. It was very educational and I believe it's a worthy investment to help me get to my fitness goals. Highly recommend! read more

Just loved my experience here! I completed the DEXA Scan, VO2, and RMR in one visit and they all went very fast. The owner, Milt, is professional and fun and very knowledgeable. He's great at explaining all your data is easy to understand terms. Your test results will be delivered to you in a nice binder for you to keep. Any follow up tests can be kept in the same binder for a view of your progress. I received a discount for a return visit, always a bonus! This data goes way beyond the scale and gives you a complete breakdown of your body composition and fitness level as well as recommendations for your personal goals. I can't wait to go back for a follow up test. read more

Great service; exceptionally well informed Very quick and efficient testing. Loved the comprehensive reports read more

If you are sick of the 5-7% error margin in body fat testing with calipers, and you don't have the wiggle room to say, "Oh yeah, my body fat is this percentage, give or take a few..." do yourself the favor of a LIFETIME and go here. They will leave you with no questions about EXACTLY where you are at with your fitness goals. It's quick, it's painless, it's informative, and it is amazing. read more

Excellent experience and customer service. Danielle performed all the tests efficiently and professionally and answered all my questions. I will definitely be back to check my progress! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Body Fat USA. I had the Dexa scan done. This gives you a breakdown of your muscle, fat, bone density, & much more. This will give my trainer what they need to dial in my caloric intake and macros. My experience was quick, informative, & easy. I will definitely be going back to track my progress! read more

I am 6'1" and athletic build and weigh 215 with a 35 inch waist line. I got my body fat analysis done recently. The reading is fairly accurate. Will do it again now that I am at 200 lbs. read more

Very friendly staff and great selection of tests. Absolutely a must if you're a bodybuilder or a physique competitor. Their DEXA scan is especially useful to me--I get one every few months after bulking and cutting to track my results. The process is always ultra informative, straightforward, and fast. I highly recommend Body Fat USA. read more

Great way to get information on your fitness journey. As a big guy just starting the journey, I was worried that I might be uncomfortable, but it was just the opposite. The staff made me feel welcomed and were very encouraging. I found out some good things like my bones are strong, and some challenges, I have a slightly lower RMR than most men my age. But this information will help me reach my goals. I look forward to my next appointment to see where the fat is leaving and how much muscle mass I can gain. read more

I have only done the RMR test so far, but my experience was great. As a fitness professional this is a service that is not easily found that I am comfortable referring clients to. The rates are great and I'm very comfortable in sending my clients here! read more

A great place for all of your fitness testing needs. The staff couldn't be more polite and helpful. I will definitely be going back for follow ups. I highly recommend them if you are in the market for accurate fitness data. read more

If you love data this place is great. I was most interested in tracking my Body Fat Percentage as I undergo my new fitness lifestyle. Looking at the scale can sometimes be depressing if your also building muscle. This allows you to see the actual amount of fat your losing and muscle your gaining instead of just the total weight lost or gained. As an added bonus it also shows where on your body your losing and gaining. This was my third visit and I will continue to get my data from them in the future. The staff is great and they offer discounts after the first visit for return visits. Other services I have used here was the resting metabolic rate test which was helpful in figuring out my diet and total number of calories. read more

Dexa is way better than a scale. Now you know if that weight gain is from muscle or fat and if your weight loss is changing your body composition for the better. read more

I had been wanting to get a DEXA scan for a long time and once I was able to do it I went to Body Fat USA. Once your scan is done they give you a comprehensive report of all your info which was great. I will be going back to in 6 months the check my progress. read more

I had a very good experience at body fat USA today. Jean was very nice and kind and answered all my questions. The process was very smooth and easy. I will definitely return to use their services. read more

Had a DEXA scan today. It was exactly as described on the website and you leave with a lot of good information about your body. I was equally fascinated by my body fat information as I was about my bone density. I got the scan as a baseline before I start a nutrition/ lifting program so excited to come back for another scan once I hit some of my goals. It will be interesting to see how my body composition has changed. Also, I was given a discount code for my next scan. read more

Quick, efficient and knowledgeable service! Great data and very motivational. If you are looking to take responsibility for your health, a DEXA scan is a must! Go get it! read more

I was referred by my coach who insisted on accurate, meaningful measurements of body fat, lean mass, and bone density. This was provided in a friendly and clean environment. It didn't take long and I meditated during the examination. Results were explained and I left with useful information. I'll be back to track progress. read more

I took three tests, the DEXA scan, VO2 Max, and RMR. It was quick, very convenient and real results that were easy to understand. The surroundings were comfortable and staff is great. I would highly recommend BodyFat USA if you are interested in knowledge about your health. Thanks for the great service. read more

Stop looking at the scale and start DEXAing!!! I began gaining weight after starting an intense workout program, only to find out that it was all muscle. What a relief. The place is clean, the owner is super knowlegable and responsive, and the inormation is truly life changing. GO!!! read more

I have been to Body Fat USA twice for testing. I wanted to document my fitness & weight loss journey and use it as a form of accountability for me. I had been inactive for 3 years due to injuries from a car accident. My1st visit was in 12/2014 and I did VO2 Max, DEXA scan & Resting Metabolic Rate. I returned 8/9/15 for VO2Max & DEXA. The DEXA scan will definately show you the difference just by seeing the portrait of your body with the weight & fat loss, the follow up photo will be smaller.I felt stronger doing the VO2Max test on the treadmill than 8 months ago and went longer time wise.I took the initial test results to my doctor. The metabolic resting info was helpful when I spoke to a dietician about a nutrition plan for losing weight. The staff at Body Fat USA really took the time to explain the test results and how you can use them to your advantage. Everything has worked together well and I have been pleased with my progress thus far. I plan to return for another follow up. read more
