A single visit.
The complete view.
Every test returns a precise, clinical-grade reading. Stack two or three into one appointment and see how your whole body is working at the same time. Not sure which to start with? Take the 60-second quiz.
DEXA Body Composition Scan
The gold standard for body composition. It maps fat, lean tissue, and bone density region by region at ±2% clinical accuracy, so you see what your body is actually made of instead of a single number on the scale.
VO₂ Max Test
The single most dependable predictor of long-term health and lifespan. Walk or run on a treadmill while we measure your aerobic ceiling, then leave with a plan to raise it. Your reading comes paired with personalized heart-rate training zones.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test
Formula-based estimates can miss your true metabolism by as much as ±20%. Breathe into a mask for about 15 minutes to pin down the exact number of calories your body burns at rest, so your nutrition works with your biology instead of against it.
Combined Testing Bundles
Pair any two tests, or run all three in the same appointment, for a more complete reading and a better rate than booking each one separately.

Quick answers
Common questions.
We pair clinical-grade equipment with reporting shaped by more than ten years of real testing data gathered across four continents. Plenty of places hand you a lone number and send you on your way. At DexaFit Ponte Vedra you leave with the reading, what is driving it, what it means for you, and the specific next step to take.
Yes. The scan relies on a very small dose of X-ray energy, far less than a routine chest X-ray and comparable to the natural background radiation you take in over a few ordinary hours. Hospitals and research labs have trusted the technology for decades, and it is considered safe for most healthy adults.
The DEXA scan itself runs about 8 minutes; with check-in and a walk-through of your results, plan on roughly 20 minutes. A VO₂ Max test takes about 15 minutes to run, and with check-in, a short warm-up, and your results review, expect about 35 minutes. The RMR test also runs about 15 minutes, or around 25 minutes start to finish. Book all three in one visit and you are usually done in about 75 minutes.
If you are using a GLP-1, start with the DEXA scan. It shows whether the weight coming off is fat or muscle, something a bathroom scale simply cannot tell you. Research suggests roughly 1 in 3 pounds lost on a GLP-1 can be lean mass, and a DEXA confirms whether that is happening for you. Pairing it with an RMR test completes the metabolic picture.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Your DexaFit report uses the same clinical technology and language physicians already work with. Clients regularly bring their numbers to a primary care doctor, endocrinologist, sports medicine physician, or dietitian, and the data drops right into that conversation.
Most people return every 3 to 6 months to see how their body responds to changes in training, nutrition, or medication. Your first visit establishes a baseline, and each return visit shows what is actually working, right down to the tissue.
