BMI is probably the most common way of assessing whether a person is overweight or not. It is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in metres. It is recognised internationally for body health comparison. You can work out whether you are overweight, a healthy weight or underweight by using this BMI chart.

Why should I choose the M-150?

Choose the M-150 Gym & Fitness Scale if you need an affordable, easy to use weighing scale from a reputable brand.

The M-150 has a high capacity of 300kg (47 stones) and has an accuracy of 200g (0.5lb). It has a bright red LED display that makes it easy to read the weight results. A Hold function means the user can step off the scale and the weight reading will remain in the scale. A Tare function means unwanted weight can be removed from the display, for example shoes. Weight readings can be shown in kg/g, or in st/lb.

A height measure is included and this can be detached if not required. The height measure’s range is 80-210cm, measuring to the nearest millimetre.

For flexibility, the M-150 has an in-built rechargeable battery - so you can position it anywhere in your gym. An AC adaptor is included for charging the battery.
