DexaFit

Great spot in San Carlos to get a DEXA scan. I first read about DEXA scans in Tim Ferriss’ Four Hour Body book — and he got scanned in Redwood City at the Body Composition Center (now closed). Amy has opened up her own shop and offers EXCELLENT service. She’s professional and very helpful. Looking forward to my next scan!

This place is fantastic! Amy is very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. The scan provides a detailed and precise reading of body fat, bone density and measurements (via the 3D scan). I’m very motivated to get started on my new fitness and nutrition routine and looking forward to my future scan.

I HIGHLY recommend ANYONE going in and getting scanned. There is so much information you get from this and you can use it to live healthier and happier without guess work.
For me, it gave me a perfect starting point to get into shape! But also, it showed me that I am at risk for osteoporosis– eek! I am glad I found out because i know now to work on weight bearing exercises to help build my bones while I still can! Kristen did an amazing job of talking me through the results of my tests and showing me what exercises I can do to get the most ‘bang for my buck’ at the gym given my results. I also learned how many calories my body naturally burns everyday by just sitting there (dieters, this tool is major helpful!)
I will be going in soon for another round of scans and tests to see my progress!
Thank you, Kristen!!!

This is an incredible experience. The information you receive about your body and the way it’s working is empowering and incredibly informative on how to approach your overall health and weight loss. I can document the changes and see where to focus. I highly recommend the full service, or at least the RMR which helps you identify you metabolism speed and calorie burning. Kristen is kind and very smart.

An exceptional service. I did the DEXA scan and the Fit3D body measurement. Both of these are amazing technologies and give accurate information that you can not easily get any other way. Also, I really appreciated the professional and friendly atmosphere with the follow-​up face-​to-​face review of my DEXA scan results. The information I learned from my appointment will help me fine-​tune my diet and exercise programs exactly where needed. I am very happy to have such an invaluable resource that is so easily accessible. Also, I was really impressed by Amy’s knowledge and experience; very helpful and much appreciated!

I went to Dexafit to finally see what my true body fat is as well as my ‘resting’ calories burned and where my cardio needs to be to be the most effective. Amy was amazing. Not only did she explain everything to me but she answered any and all questions I had. After the testing Amy also helped me come up with a nutrition and cardio plan that best fits me to assist in my body fat reduction. I recommend all 3 tests so you know everything. I am going to start training smarter and see where it takes me. I will without a doubt return in 3 months to see how my progress is.
Thank you Amy!!!

I’ve been trying to lose weight for almost 10 years now. Having a desk job, at busy startup after startup, is often a recipe for weight gain.
I first met Amy at the Body Composition Center, which is now closed down. I was trying the Four Hour Body at that time (Sept 2014), with mediocre results. After having a Dexa scan, I found out that I was losing body fat and muscle after two months of hard work. Unfortunately I lost more muscle than fat.
That’s the awesome thing about getting these scans, is you get to know if what you’re doing is working or not. And if not, then you can change course.
Fast forward to Dec 2014, when I started doing Crossfit. I wasn’t focused on my diet at the beginning. I more so wanted to be consistent with training and I really enjoyed Crossfit. About 3 weeks ago I started getting serious about my diet and started using Myfitnesspal to track my nutrition meticulously.
I was measuring my body fat and weight at home, using my scale, and between that and the mirror, as well as how I felt in general, I knew there was progress. That meant it was time for a Dexa scan.
I had a feeling I gained a bit of muscle and lost some fat, but I could not believe the results I got today. I gained 12 lbs of muscle and lost 4 lbs of fat since my last scan in Sept. That was soooo encouraging.
Besides this technology being so helpful when trying to get in shape and lose body fat, Amy (who runs the place) is so nice and helpful. She sits with you after the session and really tries to help guide your next steps.
Can’t wait till my next scan!
