Know exactly what your weight is made of
Full-body DEXA scans for $85, RMR testing for $100, or both for $175 at our locally owned Denver testing facility. DEXA and RMR appointments take 20 minutes each; the combination takes 30 minutes. Your DEXA report is emailed in about 5 minutes after your scan.

Why Denver chooses Body Fat USA
DEXA body composition scan — $85
Fat, lean tissue and bone information
Our GE Lunar Prodigy provides body fat percentage, fat mass, lean soft tissue, regional composition for the arms, legs and trunk, right-left comparisons, android/gynoid ratio, and whole-body bone information. You lie on an open table for about 6 to 12 minutes.
Lean mass includes muscle, organs and water. Whole-body bone results are informational and do not replace a diagnostic hip-and-spine bone density study. See a sample DEXA report and what the labels mean.
Resting Metabolic Rate test — $100
Your real calorie burn, measured
Measure your resting calorie use with a KORR metabolic analyzer. An RMR test costs $100 and takes about 20 minutes. Combine it with DEXA for $175 in 30 minutes.
Your resting result is different from total daily calorie needs, which also include activity and digestion. See how to interpret RMR results.
How it works
Who we help
- Weight loss: track changes in fat and lean tissue alongside scale weight. What body fat percentage tells you
- GLP-1 users: establish a baseline and monitor fat and lean mass during weight loss. Learn about tracking during GLP-1 weight loss
- Strength training and body recomposition: compare fat and lean mass over time. Understanding recomposition
- Athletes: compare training phases and regional lean mass distribution.
- Plateaus: measure current resting calorie expenditure. An RMR test alone cannot identify every cause of a plateau. What RMR testing can tell you
- Healthy aging: follow lean mass trends and discuss whole-body bone information with your clinician. Whole-body versus diagnostic bone testing
We provide testing and explain the report. Your clinician, dietitian or trainer can help you decide what to do with the data.

★★★★★ “After doing plenty of research on my options around Denver, I settled on Body Fat USA for my Dexa scans because of the extremely competitive price and the fact that they aren’t a large chain. 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.
