Find your results in the DexaFit ai App
We provide you with hard copies of your DXA results (4-page report of your data), RMR results (1-page report), and VO2 Max testing results (1-page report). But, there is also an app with constantly evolving content along with your data. Here's how to get the app:
- Download DexaFit ai for iOS & Android before your visit.
- Create an Account with the same email you use for your services at DexaFit KC.
- 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.

Is DEXA or DXA safe?
DXA uses low-dose radiation to separate fat from lean tissue and bone. It is considered the Gold Standard of Body Composition. It is traditionally known for bone densitometry. However, we use it for Body Composition. You receive about the same levels of radiation as you would by eating 4 bananas or taking a cross country flight. With that being said, pregnant women or those expecting to get pregnant cannot take a DXA scan.
What does DEXA stand for?
DEXA stands for dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. DXA or DEXA both stand for the same medical-grade equipment.

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!
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!
