Marsden M-160: Gym Column Scale with BMI Calculation and Optional Height Measure
The Marsden M-160 is a professional gym column scale adding BMI calculation and a dual-screen indicator to the M-165 base specification, making it the preferred specification for fitness clubs, gyms and leisure centres where BMI-based member assessment, goal-setting and progress tracking are part of the member service. Two indicator screens display weight on the primary screen and height and BMI on the secondary, with height entered via a full numeric keypad or, with the optional automatic height measure, measured and displayed instantly without any manual input.
A rechargeable internal battery providing 55 hours of continuous use and wheels on the column base support flexible deployment across club environments without fixed power dependency.

Setting and Design Context
The M-160 is designed for gym and fitness environments where BMI calculation is part of the member service, and is not a NAWI Directive Class III Approved device for clinical use. The optional automatic height measure is particularly valuable in high-throughput member induction sessions where measuring height manually for each new member slows the process: the automatic measure detects height instantly as the member stands under the rod, displaying height and BMI simultaneously with no manual input from the fitness professional. Optional TP-2100 printer connectivity allows a printed weight and BMI record to be produced for each member at the end of a weigh-in session, supporting personalised fitness programme documentation and member engagement in weight management goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the M-160 weigh in st/lb only rather than kg, and can this be changed?
The M-160 is designed for UK gym and slimming club environments where the st/lb display format is the traditional member preference for tracking body weight. The imperial-only display is a product design decision, not a regulatory restriction in a non-clinical gym scale. It cannot be changed to metric by the user. If your gym or fitness environment requires metric kg/g unit display, the M-165 provides both kg/g and st/lb options, though it does not include BMI calculation. For a gym column scale with both metric display and BMI calculation, contact Marsden to discuss current configuration options in the M-160 range.
Can the optional automatic height measure on the M-160 be added later after purchase?
Whether the automatic height measure can be added retrospectively to an existing M-160 depends on the specific indicator and column configuration of the scale purchased. The automatic height measure connects to the M-160 indicator and may require a specific indicator configuration to support automatic data input. If you are purchasing an M-160 and anticipate adding an automatic height measure in future, specify this at the point of order so Marsden can confirm the correct indicator configuration. Attempting to add an incompatible height measure to an existing scale risks incompatibility that Marsden cannot resolve without a scale return.
