The idea of Connexus Clinic was born in early 2022 from Medical Director, Dr. William Terry and President and Lead Coach Blake Martin’s desire to never again hear the phrase, “Ugh, getting old sucks!” Both Terry and Martin are former athletes who were busy with demanding careers and raising kids in their 30s. While they both continued exercising, they always felt tired and physically run-down.

Martin sold medical devices and Terry is a urologist, so they got to know each other through work. Gradually, they found they were going down a similar path and a common bond was formed.

“We decided we weren’t going to settle for feeling drained all the time and that life didn’t have to be that way,” says Martin. “Through Terry’s research and our hairbrained willingness to try anything health and fitness related, we cracked the code to living life with more energy and just feeling good.”

Now, they operate DexaFit-Fairhope, located inside Connexus Clinic-Fairhope and have the space they had dreamed of to show people that getting older does not automatically bring on low energy, aches and pains.

“As our young business evolved and grew, it became apparent that a patient’s weight loss is the first step most people need to start walking down the path to vibrant health. Connexus Clinic has now become an area leader in helping people lose weight in a way that is practical, sustainable and grounded in sound medical principles,” says Martin, adding that the clinic’s core principle of weight loss success is to lose fat and build muscle. “When it comes to the number on the scale, we DO. NOT. CARE.”

DexaFit offers Dexa scans, which are known as the gold standard for full body composition analysis. It’s also the only business in the region to offer VO2 Max Testing and RMR testing with a true metabolic cart. The data is combined to build a plan that includes the most effective way to lose weight sustainably.

For people who do not enjoy the traditional gym experience, DexaFit offers a Smart Gym that provides specialized machines which allow for effective workouts done in a fraction of the time in a supervised, semi-private setting.

As a bonus, anyone suffering from urinary incontinence can get help by using the Emsella Chair, a revolutionary, all natural, non-invasive way to build pelvic floor muscles.
