The same systems the pros use.
We test and treat Olympians, NFL and WNBA players, professional lacrosse players, and UFC fighters. We run the DEXA scans for the Columbus Crew, handle sports science testing for the Columbus Fury, and work with many Division I athletes. But most of our testing is for everyday people who want to use the same technology and systems to improve their own health and performance.

Patient stories
Numbers that change the plan.
“In December 2023 I made the decision to change to THE ARMORY for my medical care. Dr. Bailey was recommended and it sounded like what I was looking for. From the first visit I was impressed. The in-depth physical and DEXA scan gave them the information they needed to start me on my journey to a healthier version of me. Being a performance medicine patient provided me the opportunity to sit down with Audrey the dietician. I never knew how to eat properly. The changes we made stuck. Learning the right way to eat for my needs, having THE ARMORY to work out, and the care that Dr. Bailey provides has changed my life. For the first time in a decade I am under 300 lbs. I am now 3 months into my journey, and I have lost nearly 20 lbs of fat and gained nearly 2 lbs of lean mass because I now understand better diet and exercise. What THE ARMORY offers is a path to a better life. Update: I have since dropped under 230 lbs, and I am still going strong.”

“As a performance medicine patient I can say the staff at THE ARMORY are nothing but the best. The Wellness Coordinator, Nurses, Dietician, Physical Therapist all the way up to Dr. Bailey have been exceptional week in and week out. With their guidance, kindness, and patience I have learned about proper nutrition and exercise while building confidence in myself and my abilities. This has allowed me to lose approximately 85 lbs of fat and over 42 inches from my neck, chest, waist, pant, and hip over an 18 month period, all while in my early 50's. If you are willing to put in the effort they will be there to support you the entire way on your journey.”
