"One of our objectives in our conditioning program is to make our athletes as big and as strong as possible. An increase in size is only important if it is lean tissue. Gaining fat weight is detrimental to performance and health. The FUTREX-5000 enables us to distinguish the difference. The direction of our conditioning program is to establish a "personal history" of each player's fitness. Proper records enable us to tell if a player's ditioning level has maintained, improved, or decreased. Hydrostatic weighing gave us a very accurate account of our athletes body fat, however, it was impractical on a team basis year round. The FUTREX- 5000 enables us to monitor our team on a monthly basis during the off- season and bi-monthly during the season with a high degree of accuracy. The reliability of the device is what I feel is the strong point." J. J. D. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS FOOTBALL TEAM San Diego, California

"I would just like to let you know how satisfied we are at The Children's Center at The Beth with our FUTREX-5000A. We are referred a large number of overweight children and in the past it has been difficult to keep them motivated when no weight loss has occurred on the scale even though they have made positive changes in their eating habits. Now, with the FUTREX-5000A, we can give them positive reinforcement by demonstrating a reduction of body fat. In addition, because the FUTREX-5000A is so non-threatening, even the most timid child will allow a measurement to be taken and usually looks forward to subsequent measurements." M. B. NEWARK BETH ISRAEL MEDICAL CENTER Newark, New Jersey

"The FUTREX-5000A Body Fat and Fitness Computer is working out very well for us. I use it when I travel to our Minor League affiliates as well as in Chicago with the Major League Club. It is easy to use and it fits right in my suitcase so it is very convenient to carry with me. The information we have been getting back from the Futrex machine has been a valuable asset as I set up the fitness programs for the Cubs and our Minor League clubs." G. G. CHICAGO CUBS BASEBALL TEAM Wrigley Field Chicago, Illinois

"It was very nice meeting you at the A.A.H.P.E.R.D. convention last week. Just to reiterate what I mentioned when we met; I have found the Futrex machine to be an invaluable part of our Personal Health Class. The impact on the students is both dramatic and effective, in that it moves many students to action." R. K. DOWLING COLLEGE Oakdale, Long Island New York

"The purpose of this letter is to give you my impression of the Futrex Body Composition Analyzer after using it at Louisiana College for a full year in our classes with students of all ages. We can measure percent body fat using underwater weighing, fat calipers, skindex as well as with the electrical impedance system. I was skeptical at first, called the Cooper Clinic just for general consultation, then decided on purchasing the FUTREX-5000A, which I am so glad we did, because we evaluate a lot of children in our fitness lab. My impressions are as follows: 1. Never before have we been able to show changes in body composition (loss of lbs. of fat and increases in lean muscle muscle mass) with our students who have been on individualized exercise programs like we can now. The printout speaks for itself and students can easily comprehend the information. 2. Pre and Post testing is the most significant value of the Futrex. 3. When you have used it hundreds and hundreds of times, you become so proficient in your technique that you feel very confident of your readings. 4. Problem areas will always be the very, very lean and the very, very obese, but these same groups are difficult to evaluate with the other devices. 5. I highly recommend the FUTREX-5000A Body Composition Analyzer and look forward to obtaining updated version." C. S. LOUISIANA COLLEGE Pineville, Louisiana

TYPICAL LETTERS FROM FUTREX-5000 OWNERS

"I am writing to let you know of the success we have had with the Futrex Body Composition Analyzer. In choosing a tool for body composition analysis we were looking for something with the following qualities:  accuracy, ease of use, minimal amount of undressing required, and efficiency. After reviewing the literature and conversing with the staff of Baylor University Medical Center, we were convinced that the Futrex machine was highly accurate and comparable to underwater weighing, which is the most accurate method of determining percentage body fat.  The advantage of using the Futrex over the underwater weighing is obvious.  It is more cost-effective and less time-consuming. The Futrex has proven to be efficient over the last two years.  Most members of our staff can use the machine with ease after a short training period.  Since the Futrex requires just the shirt sleeve to be rolled up, we save time allowing us to provide more people with their body composition analysis.  In fact, when we purchased our original machine, the demand was so great that we purchased a second. We use our Futrex machines to provide valuable information to members of the community for improvement and/or maintenance of their health.  The machine has met all of our expectations and we thank you." J. S.  BAYLOR/RICHARDSON MEDICAL CENTER  Richardson, Texas

"It is not that often that I get this excited about the results of any new public-relations program. I felt that I just had to write you and tell you of our success using the FUTREX-5000. For years, my associates and I have promoted our clinic at various health- related events in our community with O.K. results. At one of these fairs, I noticed the huge crowds surrounding a booth that was testing body fat levels. I found out that the computerized machine they were using cost over $6,000, took 10 minutes to administer and false results could occur due to a variety of factors. Fortunately, after some research, I found the FUTREX-5000 which was much less expensive, very portable and very quick and easy to perform. The advantages of using this machine over doing spinal exams is remarkable. It's not uncommon for us to perform 200 screenings at an event with relatively little effort which has meant approximately 15-25 additional new patients per month. Of course, the FUTREX-5000 works well in conjunction with the nutritional programs we set up for our present patients. There are many ways that this little machine could help build anyone's practice. I highly recommend this machine to any doctor interested in succeeding at his or her next community event." C. M. R. (D.C.)  WESTLAND CHIROPRACTIC Los Angeles, California

"I wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased I am with my FUTREX- 5000. Besides doing Body Fat Percent, Fitness Analysis and Updates, and Target Area %'s in the office I have had opportunities to do even more Body Fat Percent and Fitness Analysis with two local health clubs, a few local churches that have weight loss support groups, as well as health fairs for our office. We are currently looking around the area for more ways to use our FUTREX- 5000, as a way of providing a service and further promoting our name in the community as leaders in the health care field." D. D. B. (D.C., C.C.S.P.) BERARDI CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC Fairfield, California

" We wanted to write and say Thank you for all your help with purchasing the FUTREX-5000. As you know, buying products for the government can be very time consuming and sometimes even frustrating. But, we do that in order to make sure we are only buying the very best products at the very best price. Which is  why we bought the FUTREX-5000. We have found it to be a great asset to our weight management program and also our GET FIT program. It gives our clients a way to track their progress and actually see results that they aren't seeing on the scale. They find that the information the FUTREX-5000 prints out for them is very helpful and easy to understand. The FUTREX-5000 is very accessible, it's fast and easy to use. That's very important for us because we are constantly traveling from one building to the next." J. L. W. DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE Headquarters 93D Bomb Wing (ACC) Castle Air Force Base, California

"I wanted to share with you what an excellent experience we have had with our Futrex machines. We have had the machines about a year and have performed over 2,000 body fat compositions. The machines are very well received and people are very appreciative that they don't get wet, pinched, have a measuring tape wrapped around them, or have to take off their clothes. We have compared our results to other methods of measurement and have found our results to be within 1.5%." J. A. G. COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION & EARLY DETECTION PROGRAM East Jefferson General Hospital Metairie, Louisiana

"I am writing to tell you how pleased we are with the FUTREX-5000. We are currently using the body fat measurement in correlation with health classes, weight lifting, aerobics, and fitness classes. Our wrestling coach also has been using it. Our next goal is to involve the nutrition and foods classes. Our physical education and health teachers have been very pleased with the accuracy and usefulness of the FUTREX-5000. It has helped us tie all the concepts together that we learn in those classes. It gives each student an opportunity to evaluate their own muscular status, fitness activities, and nutritional habits. It allows us a great opportunity to explain how to make positive life-long changes related to nutrition, fitness and lean muscle mass. Please add Edmonds-Woodway High School to your list of satisfied customers." M. M. D.  EDMONDS-WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL Edmonds, Washington

"On behalf of the Illinois Valley YMCA I wanted to thank you for introducing the FUTREX-5000 Body Fat Analyzer to our facility. Our YMCA has used the body fat analyzer for membership promotions, company visits, club presentations, booth demonstrations, and general YMCA wellness. Hundreds have taken advantage of the body fat analyzer and corporate memberships have grown dramatically. The analyzer paid for itself in the first month of use at our YMCA. Presently we are linked with the community hospital and offer on-site complete wellness appraisal that includes body fat analysis -- thanks to Futrex. I highly recommend that if any organization is committed to health and wellness, they offer body fat analysis to their program." D. P. P. ILLINOIS VALLEY FAMILY YMCA Peru, Illinois

"As the Physiology teacher at El Monte High School, I am impressed with the easy, quick, user-friendly FUTREX-5000. The information students receive is understandable and pertinent to units discussed in class. The students are impressed with the FUTREX-5000 because it allows for hands-on technology of a current topic they can read about in newspapers and magazines. After they measure their own body fat they put more thought into their own fitness and diet. Some quotes from students about the FUTREX-5000: "helpful", "easy to use", "awesome", "very accurate", "fun", "learn a lot", "amazing", "provides useful information". It was money well spent. Thank you." L. M. M. EL MONTE HIGH SCHOOL El Monte, California

"Our company, The Lean Machine, provides body composition testing throughout the Denver metro area of Colorado. We have been in the business since 1991 and many people consistently use our service as a way to monitor their success in their lifestyle regimes. We have found NIR to be a repeatable method of testing and has closely related to hydrostatic results." L. L. G. and L. G. The Lean Machine Denver, Colorado

"As you are aware, for the past 20 years the Community Services has conducted health screening programs               for the people of Florida throughout the state. During these years, hundreds of thousands have been screened and this early detection program has been responsible for saving hundreds of lives, and the eyesight of many. We have 8 screening vans in the field at the present time. When we began we did blood pressures only and through the years have expanded to include glaucoma, hemoglobin, diabetes and cholesterol screenings. We believe that at a time when the public is increasingly aware of the importance of life-style as it relates to over all health and fitness that the Futrex is just what we need to capture the attention of the people. Also, at a time in which AIDS is a factor to be taken into account with invasive procedures, we believe that the non-invasive Futrex is "just what the doctor ordered!" "R. W. O.
