Single Site Measurement -- How Does It Work?
Futrex offers the only method of measuring body fat that uses completely safe, Near-Infrared light to directly
measure percent body fat. U.S. Government research located a single point on the human body - the middle of
the biceps of the dominant arm - that has a direct correlation with the body’s overall fat level.

Trans-Reflected
Near-IR Light

During operation, the Futrex Light Wand sends a
safe, Near-Infrared light beam into the biceps of the
dominant arm at specific wavelengths that fat will
absorb and lean mass will reflect. The light absorption is measured by the FUTREX-5500 to determine
body fat -- it’s that simple!
Test results, which are traceable to underwater
weighing, are instantly shown on the unit’s easyto-read LCD display, and are also printed out for
your clients to take with them.

Health Care Professionals

As a fitness professional you need
your Body Composition Analyzer to
be many things:

Medical professionals world wide
from physicians to physical therapists to cardiologists to chiropractors
have put the FUTREX to work for
their practices. Consider the
following testimonial that originally
appeared in a major chiropractic
publication:

Accurate
Repeatable
Profitable
Profitable???? - - But Of Course! Let’s See How...
Increase Membership Sales with
The FUTREX
The Futrex Body Composition
Analyzer is the perfect tool for
closing new membership sales.
By making it an integral part of your
sales presentation, you make the
tour of the club more than just a
show & tell.
Take the FUTREX “On The Road”
to Promote Your Business
Any opportunity to get in front of
people outside of your club is an
excellent opportunity to get them to
come into your club. The Futrex is
sure to generate curiosity and
interest.
Make More Money With Body Fat
Testing
Are you charging for Body Composition Analysis? If not, you’re missing
out on a lot of potential profit. Just
consider this:
Body Fat Tests Per Month
100 @ $10 each = $1000
Fitness Analysis Reports
50 @ $15 each = $750

Total Additional
Monthly Profit
$1750

By using the (FUTREX) and its
evaluation of a patient’s condition
relative to body fat and desirable lean
body mass, it is easy for our nutritionists to devise a program that encourages our patients to lose body fat
while maintaining or even increasing
muscle mass and strength.
And by monitoring our patients’
progress with detailed printouts, we
can demonstrate to them how they are
doing graphically; what adjustments
need to be made, how they can
improve and, of course, if they are
failing with their nutritional program.
Body fat analyzers, in promoting our
practice, have contributed significantly to the growth of our practice,
and I believe, to the health of our
patients. We started with one of the
first machines available, in the
1980s, then added two more at the
beginning of the 1990’s. We recently
bought three more.
Do I believe in these machines? I
certainly do and so will you if you put
them to work in your practice.”

Your Business

Wellness & Health
Promotion Professionals
As a professional in the field of
health promotion, you need to offer
screening services that are fast,
easy, non-invasive and meaningful to
your target audience.
Only Futrex offers fast, repeatable
and truly non-invasive measurement
of percent body fat on any one at
any time.
Try that with skin fold calipers!
People don’t like being pinched, and
caliper results vary widely between
testers.
And bio-electrical impedance? You
can’t measure anyone with a heart
implant or who may be pregnant (no
problem with the FUTREX). And
don’t forget the BIA pre-test protocols (see the comparison chart on
page three).
