- Helpful Tip: Do not log into the DexaFit ai app until you have created the account first.
- Verify your account from the link sent to your email.
- Then, log into your new account within the DexaFit ai app.
- The same email must be used for testing and the DexaFit ai app.
- Helpful Tip: From time to time, there are app updates. If your data happens to be missing, try logging out and back into the app. In most cases, the data repopulates shortly after re-login. If not, give us a call or email to resend your data.
Within 24 hours, your test results will be uploaded for sharing and further analysis. The app is constantly evolving to help you make better health decisions.
DexaFit ai is NOT the same as our booking system or our website. It is an App found in your App store and needs you to create an account within the app before it will work.
The DexaFit ai app is managed and administered by DexaFit Corporate and not DexaFit KC.

- Call us with any additional questions.
What does a high VO2 Max mean?
It means you can use a lot of oxygen to produce energy leading to an increase in aerobic work you can perform before wearing out.
Why do you keep talking about a Baseline?
Because you need to compare your future self to your present self.
Future self will be extremely impressed with how far you have come!
My wearable VO2 Max has a much higher number than I achieved on your test. Why?
Wearables are getting smarter, but they are only algorithms. Our test uses much more than heart rates to measure actual VO2.
Our VO2 Max test is performed using medical grade equipment with daily calibrations, daily QA checks, and regular maintenance. Our system provides breath-by-breath metabolic analysis for complete assessment of exercise capacity using indirect calorimetry to measure substrate (fat and carbohydrates) utilization and maximal oxygen uptake.
You wear a mask to measure your substrates (oxygen and CO2 flow). The chest strap heart rate monitor is worn in order to provide you with useable metrics to use doing your workouts (i.e. heart rate zones).
We caution people who choose to take this test that #1 yes, you can get a higher heart rate in the wild compared to this test due to all the variables in a workout you perform on your own (i.e. doing a new workout, working out in hot conditions, working out when you haven't recovered properly, working out when you don't feel 100%, etc.); and #2 your actual VO2 Max on this test is likely LOWER than what your wearable tells you.
It is thought that VO2 Max is about 50% genetic and 50% training.
Polar has a blog with more information about VO2 Max. Click here for link.
What happens when my tests are done?
We provide you with your own data in a printed report format. The DXA is 4-5 pages, RMR is 1 page, and VO2 Max is 1 page. Styku™ scans are emailed directly to you as a PDF link that expires after 3 months.
You choose whether to work with a trusted advisor or do it on your own.
If you are seeking to work with a nutritionist, dietician, or trainer, we have some options for you.
If you are a nutritionist, dietician, or trainer, and you'd like to work with us, give us a call!
DexaFit KC does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have questions about your results or data, seek the advice of your primary care physician or other qualified medical professional.

The radiation you receive is about the same as eating 4 bananas or from taking a cross country flight.
The test takes about 6-11 minutes. The total appointment is a 30 minute booking.
Report Includes:
- Total Body Fat %
- Fat Tissue in LBS
- Lean Tissue in LBS
- BMC in LBS
- Visceral Fat in LBS
- BMD as total body t-score
- Android to Gynoid Ratio
- Metrics for Arms, Legs, Trunk, Android, Gynoid with BF%, Fat/Lean/BMC in LBS for each region
Wear tighter fitting clothing. You will need to remove any metal or inform us of metal implants.
Limitations: You cannot be pregnant.
Additional Limitations:
- You cannot weigh over 350lbs.
- You must be able to lie still on your back for 6+ minutes.
- You cannot have taken gastrointestinal contrast or radionuclides within the last 7 days.
- For clients ~250 lbs + , we cannot guarantee a left arm or visceral fat reading due to DXA scanner & software limitations.

- Resting HR
For best results, arrive fasted for at least 5-6 hours - drinking only water. Avoid caffeine the day of, and alcohol for at least 12 hours prior to your test. Also, avoid an intense workout at least 24 hours prior to your test. An overnight fast is best for this test.
Limitations: None.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Many people compare this test to their wearable device. Wearables are getting smarter, but please note these devices use algorithms. Our VO2 Max test is an actual TEST measuring substrates with matching heart rates. Please note that many times your actual test VO2 Max will be lower than your watch's prediction.
Limitations: With this & any test, please obtain clearance from your medical provider.
HR = Heart Rate
AT = Anaerobic Threshold
