Services at DexaFit Broward
DexaFit Broward offers medical-grade health testing to give you precise, actionable data about your body.
DexaFit Body Scan (DEXA)
30 min appointmentGold-standard dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry body composition analysis. Precisely measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and bone mineral density in a single 10-minute scan.
What you measure:
- Total & regional body fat %
- Lean muscle mass by segment
- Visceral fat rating
- Bone mineral density
- Android / gynoid fat ratio
How to prepare:
- 1. Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing
- 2. Stay normally hydrated — no fasting required
- 3. Avoid heavy exercise on appointment day
- 4. Scan at the same time of day for repeat comparisons — especially useful before and after South Florida's triathlon season
VO2 Max Fitness Test
60 min appointmentA maximal aerobic capacity test that measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. Popular with South Florida triathletes, cyclists, and endurance runners who train year-round in Broward County's warm climate.
What you measure:

- Heart rate training zones

- Fitness age estimate
How to prepare:
- 1. No heavy meals 2–3 hours before the test
