DexaFit pairs clinical-grade equipment with data-powered reporting developed across more than a decade of real-world measurements on four continents. Most providers hand you a number. We hand you the number, the context behind it, the likely drivers, and a clear direction for what to do next.

Yes, and it's the most common way people start. A standalone DEXA Body Scan is $149 for a 30-minute appointment, with no requirement to bundle anything with it. You'll get your body fat percentage, lean muscle mass broken out by region, and belly (visceral) fat, plus time to go through all of it on the big screen before you leave. It also reports a whole-body bone reading for context — that is not a bone density test, so if your doctor has asked for bone numbers, book the DEXA Bone Density Scan instead. If you decide later that you want your metabolic numbers too, you can add an RMR on a future visit or book the DEXA + RMR Pack next time.

Choose your service and time as usual. On the payment step, don't use the coupon box: gift card codes don't work there. Just below it, turn on the Redeem a gift card switch, enter your code and click Apply. The card amount comes off your total, you pay any difference by card, and any balance left stays on your code for next time. See exactly where the switch is.

Yes. Gift cards start at $150, never expire, and work toward any service we offer. You pick the date it's emailed to them, add a message, and they book whenever they're ready. See gift cards.

Yes. It's a separate, site-specific DEXA scan of the lower spine and both hips, with a T-score and Z-score for each site — the one doctors use to assess osteoporosis — and it doesn't need a referral. Two options: $200 printout only, where you leave with the report for your own doctor, or $349 with the MD Review, where Dr. Zalzala, a board-certified physician, reads the scan, emails you a written report, and goes over it with you in a consult. You can add a DEXA Body Scan for $99 with any bone density scan. Full details and booking here.

Yes. A DEXA scan uses an extremely low dose — a body scan is a few hours of the natural background radiation you get outdoors every day, and even a bone density scan is less than a flight from New York to LA. The technology has been used in hospitals and research settings for decades and is considered safe for the vast majority of healthy adults.

Longer than the test itself, on purpose. A single DEXA, bone density scan, or RMR is a 30-minute appointment, VO2 Max is 45 minutes, the DEXA + RMR Pack is 45 minutes, and the Works is two hours. The testing is only part of that: DEXA takes 6–11 minutes, RMR is 15 minutes under the canopy, and VO2 Max runs 8 to 20 minutes depending on your fitness and how you choose to test. The rest of the appointment is spent going through your results with you on the big screen before you leave.

There's free parking directly in front of the suite, so you won't be circling a lot or feeding a meter. Plan to arrive about 10 minutes early. Clients come in from Spartanburg, Anderson, Clemson, Lake Keowee, Hendersonville, Brevard, and Asheville, and I-85, 385, and I-26 can all add time you didn't budget for. Arriving sooner is fine. Our waiting room is open, with comfortable seating for two and a restroom, and we'll be calibrating equipment until your appointment time. Running late? Call 864-990-4425 and we'll do what we can.

No. Most people walk. Our treadmill protocols use a comfortable pace on a gradually rising incline, which produces a fully valid, complete test. If you would rather run, we will test you running. If you would rather ride, bring your bike, most thru-axle bikes are compatible, though check with us beforehand to confirm. We can also test you on your own rower. The test ends when you reach your own limit, whatever that looks like.

No. We use a ventilated canopy hood, a clear, lightweight dome that rests over your head while you relax. There is no mask sealed to your face and no clip pinching your nose, so you breathe completely normally. That matters, because anything that makes you tense or breathe differently can skew a resting measurement. Every patient gets a clean canopy and a brand-new medical-grade filter, the lights are dimmed, and there is relaxing spa music for the 15 minutes.

The DEXA Body Composition Scan is the most critical assessment for anyone losing weight quickly. It shows whether the weight you're losing is fat, muscle, or both, information the scale is completely blind to. During rapid weight loss, roughly 1 in 3 pounds lost can be lean mass. The DEXA tells you whether you're in that group. Pairing it with RMR shows how much your metabolism has slowed as you lose weight, which is the number your daily calorie target should be built on. Most clients on a weight loss plan with their doctor book the DEXA + RMR Pack ($278) first, then a DEXA Body Scan ($149) every 3–4 months while they're actively losing.

Absolutely, and we strongly encourage it. DexaFit reports use the same clinical technology and terminology recognized by physicians worldwide. Many clients bring their results to GPs, endocrinologists, sports medicine doctors, and dietitians. The data is designed to integrate seamlessly into a clinical conversation.

Most clients return every 3–6 months to track how their body is responding to training, nutrition, or protocol changes. If you're actively changing your workout program or diet, or you're losing weight fast, 3–4 months is the better window to see the change. A single session gives you a baseline. Sequential sessions give you accountability and the ability to see what's actually working, down to the tissue level.
