Marsden M-565 Slimming Scale, 39st Capacity, Professional Accuracy with BMI and BSA Functions
- High-capacity slimming scale, 250kg (39st) capacity, weighs in st/lb and kg, adding metric unit display to the M-560 format for slimming groups and fitness clubs whose members prefer to track weight in both kg and st/lb, with BMI and Body Surface Area (BSA) calculation as standard.
- BSA calculation as a standard function distinguishes the M-565 from the M-560, adding body surface area measurement relevant to personal trainers, fitness professionals and health coaches working with clients on dosing-adjacent or body composition contexts where BSA provides a more detailed body metric than BMI alone.
- Remote indicator for discreet group session display, with optional carry case for protected transport between slimming venues and club locations, and reliable portable construction for regular movement between commercial weighing environments.
- Not Class III Approved, designed for slimming groups, gyms, wellness clubs and commercial weight management settings; for NAWI Directive-certified clinical equivalents with metric-only display, the Class III Approved M-545 with remote indicator and BSA function is the appropriate clinical specification.
Marsden M-565: High-Capacity Slimming Scale with Dual-Unit Display, BMI and BSA Calculation
The Marsden M-565 is a high-capacity portable slimming scale providing dual st/lb and kg unit display alongside BMI and BSA (Body Surface Area) calculation, making it the preferred M-560 alternative for slimming groups, gyms and wellness clubs whose members wish to track weight in both imperial and metric formats. The inclusion of BSA calculation alongside BMI extends the M-565's utility for fitness professionals and health coaches who work with clients where body surface area is a relevant body metric beyond standard BMI, including personal training clients monitoring treatment-related weight changes or body composition in detail.
Note: the M-565 is not Class III Approved under the NAWI Directive. For clinical diagnostic use in NHS settings requiring metric-unit display, BSA and remote indicator, the Class III Approved M-545 is the appropriate specification.

Setting and Compliance Context
The M-565 is designed for commercial weight management, slimming group and fitness club environments where dual-unit display (st/lb and kg), BSA calculation and remote indicator functionality are the primary specification requirements. It is not a NAWI Directive Class III Approved device and should not be used for clinical diagnostic weighing in NHS or CQC-regulated settings. For slimming organisations or fitness clubs where some members have existing NHS-documented weight targets in metric units, the M-565's dual-unit display removes the conversion step that the M-560's imperial-only display requires. The optional carry case is recommended for M-565 units that are transported regularly between club and venue locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the M-565 and M-560, and which should be specified for a slimming group?
The M-565 adds dual st/lb and kg/g unit display and BSA calculation to the M-560's format. The M-560 weighs in imperial only and calculates BMI. If your slimming group members exclusively track in stone and pounds and BSA is not required, the M-560 is sufficient and typically lower cost. If members include those who prefer metric tracking, or if you work with clients where BSA is a relevant metric, the M-565 provides both unit options and the additional BSA function without requiring a different platform or carry case. Both scales share the same remote indicator format and portability characteristics.
Can the M-565 be used in a pharmacy or health centre for patient weight monitoring?
The M-565 can provide accurate weight readings in a pharmacy or health centre setting, but it is not Class III Approved under the NAWI Directive and cannot be used for clinical diagnostic purposes where NAWI Directive certification is required. For pharmacies or health centres providing weight monitoring as part of an NHS commissioned service or CQC-regulated health service, the Class III Approved M-545 with remote indicator and BSA function is the correct clinical specification. The M-565 is appropriate for commercial health and wellness services not subject to NHS clinical device certification requirements.
