Real answers about your body,measured right here in Carmel.
Clinical-grade DEXA body composition, VO₂ Max, and RMR testing has arrived on Commerce Drive, built on the same technology trusted by research labs and medical practices.
The honest baseline behind every health decision you make.
The scale gives you one number. Your watch closes a ring. A lab report circles a single marker. None of them tell you what your body is actually made of, what it can do under effort, or how much fuel it needs to run.
DexaFit began in Chicago in 2011 with one conviction: measure the body directly instead of guessing at it from the outside in. That approach has grown into a network spanning four continents, backed by over a decade of real-world data. Now that same standard has a home on Carmel's north side, serving the health-minded communities of Hamilton County and greater Indianapolis.
We will not hand you a diet, a supplement, or a workout plan. What we hand you are the numbers that reveal whether the habits you already live by are actually working. Measure first. Decide after.
Three tests that turn guesswork into a clear read on your body.
Each one fills a blind spot your scale, your mirror, and your wearable leave wide open.
DEXA Scan
Fat, muscle, and bone, mapped region by region.
An open-air scan passes over you head to toe and separates fat, lean muscle, and bone density, right down to the visceral fat packed around your organs. It reads body fat to within roughly ±2%, while a smart scale can wander 8 to 15% off the mark.
VO₂ Max Test
The true ceiling of your cardio engine.
A guided effort test measures how efficiently your body pulls in and uses oxygen, whether you log miles on the Monon Trail or train for the Carmel Marathon. Across 122,007 people, this marker predicted all-cause mortality more tightly than smoking, blood pressure, or cholesterol. Your watch estimates it. We measure it directly.Mandsager et al., JAMA 2018; N = 122,007.
RMR Metabolism Test
The calories your body burns at rest.
A few quiet minutes of relaxed breathing measures your resting metabolism straight from your breath, rather than plugging you into a one-size formula. App and calculator estimates can miss by 20 to 30%. Your nutrition deserves to be built on your real number.
Clinical-grade results, read against the benchmark that fits you.
A number on its own tells you almost nothing. Every result you get here is measured against age and sex matched reference ranges, then translated into plain language you can act on. You leave knowing exactly where you stand and what your next step should be.
DexaFit works alongside your physician, your coach, and your wearables, never ahead of them. We are the baseline the rest of your plan gets checked against.
Come back a few months later and the numbers report back without spin: what improved, what held steady, and whether your effort earned its keep.
