How is DEXA different from InBody scans at Kansas City gyms?
Many Kansas City gyms and Life Time Fitness locations offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the gold standard. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct tissue measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance which can vary by +/-5-8% based on hydration — an issue for KC athletes training through Missouri's humid summers and cold winters. DEXA delivers consistent, clinical-grade results year-round.
