DEXA Austin-Body Composition Testing

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were arriving for their DEXA scans, an announcement crackled over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your body composition may be normal today, but tomorrow you might turn into a marshmallow!’ Employees looked at each other nervously, while patients just shrugged and smiled. Was it a prank? A warning? Or something more…substantial? Soon enough, the whole town was buzzing about the mysterious message. A delivery driver even claimed he saw a giant marshmallow floating outside the clinic one foggy morning. The doctor finally admitted it was just a glitch in the software that calculates body density—a hilarious mix-up that made everyone laugh. And ever since then, whenever someone gets nervous before their scan, they whisper, 'Don’t worry, you won’t turn into a marshmallow!'

2. One day, while waiting for her DEXA scan, a regular noticed something strange on the ceiling. ‘Hey,’ she called out, ‘is that dust or are we being watched by tiny aliens?’ Another patient, a delivery driver, piped up, 'Could be termites!' A nurse calmly replied, 'No, those are just our invisible fitness coaches.' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone forgot about it—except maybe the aliens.

3. In the waiting room one afternoon, a small dog named Max kept staring at the ceiling. His owner shrugged it off until she saw him barking at what appeared to be nothing. Turning around, they both watched as the digital scale seemed to hover in mid-air for a split second before settling back down. Finally, an employee approached and explained that DEXA Austin was testing new augmented reality software to make patients feel more comfortable during their sessions. Max’s barks were actually his reaction to seeing virtual butterflies dancing above the scale. The owner laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll never underestimate canine curiosity again!’

4. While waiting for her DEXA scan, a regular whispered in hushed tones: ‘I swear I saw someone sneaking out of the back door earlier.’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Probably just our new janitor, trying not to wake anyone.’ After a few minutes, another voice piped up from behind them: 'Hey, did you hear that?' The receptionist raised an eyebrow. 'No, what?’ ‘Someone’s playing classical music really softly on their phone,' said the first person. Laughing gently, she shook her head. 'That must be our friendly neighborhood musician.'
