About Us
We’re a dynamic duo with deep knowledge and passion with what we do. Maybe we don’t have superhero powers, but nothing makes our day like helping someone! We are sincerely excited when a client reaches that Aha! moment – the moment they understand why they’ve reached that frustrating plateau or been thwarted by lack of progress.
Our family business was founded in 2016 to help clients learn the most they can about their bodies and reach the goals they care most about – health, wellness, athletic performance, and the ability to live a full and physically active life even as they age.
We’re not some mobile unit rolling around looking for people to take a test.
Because we care deeply about each and every one of our clients and their goals, we have invested in permanent, convenient location that allows all our medical-grade equipment to stay calibrated and accurate. After all, who needs results that are skewed because a mobile DEXA driver took a curve in the van too fast?
At DexaFit Seattle, you get super accurate results, along with the unique perspectives of both a male and female, a mother, and father, who are both busy professionals.
We truly care about you and what brings you to DexaFit Seattle.
We want you to feel safe and comfortable at all times and understand what each test is and how you can use the information gathered. You are a person to us – not a number. Your privacy is respected and are we genuinely glad to see you.
Our personalized coaching system is like no other. We are proud to help other busy professionals and moms and dads become the heroes they were meant to be all in less time than they ever thought possible. And you don’t even have to put 5-6 hours of time in at the gym to get there!
