Beyond the scale. Your body, mapped.

The scanner is the same clinical-grade DEXA technology used in research and clinical settings. The difference at DexaFit Burlington is what happens once the scan ends. DexaFit ai reads all of your results together, so next to body fat, lean mass, and skeletal health you also see your biological age and how each value compares with age and sex matched reference ranges. You leave with direction you can use, not a list of raw values.

The full picture: fat mass, lean muscle, visceral fat, and overall skeletal health, each broken out by region. Every value sits beside age and sex matched norms on a color-coded heat map, so changes are easy to see and easy to track from one Burlington visit to the next. This is a total body composition scan, not a site-specific bone density scan. For a focused bone density reading, DexaFit Burlington offers a separate DexaStrong bone density scan.

Arrive well hydrated and skip your workout that day. Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing (no zippers or belts) and bring socks. Before the scan you will empty your pockets and remove your watch, glasses, and jewelry.

Plan on about 30 minutes for the visit, with roughly 8 minutes lying still on an open table. The radiation dose is low, about what you receive from a few hours of normal everyday life.

A scan every 3 to 6 months suits most people. Vermont seasons make natural checkpoints, so it can help to scan before a new training phase and again after it ends to see whether the effort showed up. That interval is long enough to capture meaningful change in fat, muscle, and bone, and to confirm whether your training and nutrition are moving things in the direction you want.

DEXA is the clinical gold standard for body composition, with 98% accuracy (within 2 percent). It directly measures three compartments, fat, lean, and bone, while two-compartment methods such as hydrostatic weighing or a BodPod capture two. Smart scales and handheld devices estimate from a small electrical current and can read 8 to 15 percent off as your hydration changes. Because DEXA reads each region of the body separately, the result stays dependable.

Nearly anyone working toward a goal. People losing weight who want to know whether it is fat or muscle, Vermont runners, skiers, and lifters fine-tuning their training, and anyone invested in aging well who wants a solid baseline for lean mass, visceral fat, and skeletal health. Bone loss tends to happen quietly. 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, and DexaFit Burlington also offers a dedicated DexaStrong bone density scan. Longevity voices such as Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive, rely on DEXA for its accuracy.
