Know exactly what your weight is made of
Body Fat USA is a Denver body composition testing facility offering full-body DEXA scans for $85 and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) tests for $100—or both for $175. Appointments take 20 minutes, and your detailed DEXA report is emailed to you in about 5 minutes. No membership, no package, no sales pitch.
A scale only tells you how much you weigh. A DEXA scan shows how much of that weight is fat, lean tissue and bone—and where it is—so you can see whether your nutrition, training or GLP-1 program is working. An RMR test measures how many calories your body actually burns at rest, so your calorie targets are based on you, not an online formula.
Why Denver chooses Body Fat USA
DEXA body composition scan — $85
Fat, muscle and bone, measured
Our GE Lunar Prodigy DEXA scanner measures your body fat percentage, fat and lean mass, arm/leg/trunk composition, right-left balance, android/gynoid ratio and bone density with T- and Z-scores. You lie on an open table for 6–12 minutes—no swimsuit, no water tank, no enclosed pod.
Resting Metabolic Rate test — $100
Your real calorie burn, measured
Using indirect calorimetry, our KORR metabolic analyzer measures the oxygen you use at rest to calculate how many calories your body burns each day. Use it to set accurate calorie targets, troubleshoot a weight-loss plateau and maintain your results.

Sean was incredibly friendly, understood that I wanted to get in and out and on with my day, and my scans were in my inbox by the time I was back to my car! Definitely coming back here for my follow up scans.”
— Parker J.

Yes. A whole-body DEXA scan uses a very low X-ray dose—about the same as, or less than, a single day of natural background radiation. It is not performed during pregnancy. Learn more
